It's been a busy week of always coming home after dark, so I missed a couple days of pictures, but things are starting to look close to being finished! It certainly helps that all the siding is now up, so the painters can start their job. First, a walk-around of the front of the house at the end of today...
The railings are up, the tapered column boxes are covering the roof supports, the durarock boards have been installed around the column bases, the trim boards covering up the underside of the porch are installed, and the final trim around the front door and windows on the porch is done. What you can't see from the outside is that the plasterers also came and patched up the walls that had been damaged where the door and windows were replaced. Still to come: front and side stairs, and stone facing on the bottoms of the columns!
A final bit of trim was applied to the outside of the attic awning window, to break it into three panels.
A closeup of one of the tapered columns. The carpenters made these up back in the shop (where they could do more precision work) and then brought them over in the truck and slid them on. There's still a little bit of trim to put around the bottom where it meets the bluestone.
The current view down the porch. It's getting much easier to envision the finished product!
