New Front Stoop - Part 1

As part of my remodeling projects, I'm having the stoop in the front of the house updated. The red bricks removed, the faces of the stoop skim coated with concrete and stone installed on the step and top of the stoop. The stone matches the retaining wall and the roof of the house.

Here's what the stoop looked like before the work started on it this morning.


Here's what it looks like at the end of the first day.



Did you notice the area at the bottom of the front wall where they removed the siding? Here's why?

The footing of the front wall of the house is rotted and has termite damage in that section.

SHIT! SHIT! FUCK! FUCK! When it rains it pours!

The bathroom contractor is going to attempt to repair the damaged area tomorrow. I'll let you know how he makes out. That is if my house stays standing. :-(

Mean while, read all about the remodeling of my half bath that was started today in the following post. So far that's going very well.
