Here is a series of photos showing the front of the Sheridan House before, during and almost done. A couple things to note: You’ll have to excuse the garbage cans in front of the house, as Friday is garbage day and they’re full of plaster debris so I didn’t feel like dragging them out of the way. Also, there are still shutters to be put up. If you’re anxious and don’t want to wait until both sets are up, you can look at the photos I just uploaded to Flickr and see how the small (bathroom) window turned out with the shutters.
It’s so good to finally see things starting to come together. The new front windows make a HUGE difference and the shutters will really bring everything together and add the extra cottage appeal that the house deserves. (As an aside, the shutters I’ve mentioned a few times are original from the house. They were taken down when the aluminum siding was put on a while back and haven’t been back up since.)
Here’s a few other exterior photos (click to see them larger):
This is GREAT!
Hi there! So what did you do to the exterior? Strip old paint from wood and repaint? Put up new siding? I tried looking at older emails to get more details, but couldn’t find anything. Just curious
It’s amazing how much difference some color makes. Very nice!
Andrea – There was existing aluminum siding that was in good shape, it just needed paint. So, we scrubbed the aluminum clean (until it didn’t leave white on your finger when you touched it) and then painted it. Looks can be deceiving – the front still needs one more coat and the rest of the house still needs to be painted.
We may look into having a painter spray the rest of the house, though, depending on cost.
