Señora has lived in her house for almost 40 years, being the second owner, the house being constructed in 1978. It still had the original cedar siding that had been painted a few times. Reality was that the siding should have been replaced at least 5 years ago, if not earlier. It had not been done, partially because Señora loved the cedar, it stood out from the other homes in the neighborhood, which have siding or a combination of siding and brick. And partially as she was choking on the cost of new siding, especially so as all the old siding would need to be torn off. Below is what it looked like before.
I was a bit tired of looking at the old siding as more than a few pieces needed to be replaced, and it is almost impossible to get this type of siding anymore. So we bit the bullet. What was interesting to me is that we asked for bids from four different outfits. The estimates varied by $30,000 with the highest having a contract so open ended that it could have gone up another $5,000+.
Here is what it looks like now.
And as promised, after all this work, here is a picture of my new Porsche 911 Carrera.
And so it goes.
It’s beautiful. I can’t wait to see it in person. And that Porsche ain’t bad looking either. 😉
Yes, we have no bananas?
Yep. Vrroooom, vrrrooom.
