well Hotel Squizz needed more detailing done. Karen painted the bathroom from blue to tan and i painted the old cabinets and added new door hardward and changed out the toilet. Bath fitters is coming in a few weeks to change out the tub and put a shower in it's place. we then painted the hallway and she sponge painted the lower half and i installed new chair rail molding last night to finish it off. it turned out pretty good.
here is the hallway
told Franky to take my sawsall and go to town cutting up the hot tub we had sitting behind the house.

Our house sits far enough off the road and we've been wanting to be able to sit out there for a few years now. i am building the deck free standing as it will not be attached to the house at all. working on figuring out the plans now. before pics

Uhh, Dave.....if Diana sends you "home", you could always TELL her you are going there, but come west to Illinois instead.
Just sayin'.
Hotel Squizz is more inviting by the day....

True, but it's hard to get past Rochester right now. Tim's car is still in need of some serious help.

I don't think it's just Tim's car... Tim could use a little help too... "Righty Loosie, Lefty Tighty"
well i got it finished this weekend. added the lattice to the bottom.
then cut all 30 of the 12' deck boards in half and started laying the 6' pieces
needed to run to the store for 2 more pieces of lumber.and finish up in the dark. Me and Franky worked our butts off. 12 screw per board and 60 boards was a lot of screwing...lol
cut the boards to make them all the same length on sunday.
then since i built it over the concrete step i had to drill and use tapcon screws into the concrete.
this is the finished product.

well Saturday we finished the front of the house. i scrubbed the gutter and the soffit and the 3 windows with a brush and simple green. Karen followed behind with a soft bristle broom and strong bleach water and washed thesiding. turned out great. then we finished the mulching and got some furniture for the deck and some plants. turned out pretty nice. the front of the house looks way better.
before i started.
and now

ok it's been away since Hotel Squizz got any major ungrades. So here it the new addition. We added a 20x20 roof over a portion of the deck. The roofing material is not done yet, but will be in the next few weeks. then We can start to build the new table for the deck. We already have the new chairs and firepit. Need the table and other stuff to be built to complete the project.
