New Siding. Garden Flowers. Beverly Hillbillies

Hello Sweet Friends.  Happy New Week.

The siding is done.  Yay!!! It took a week with all the findings to fix underneath the layers of siding.  It amazes me how many issues can be hidden out of sight on an old house.  Now our 1949 built home is brand new.  New driveway, new garage and windows last fall, new roof and siding this week.  Gutters today.  We should be all set now with this old house.

The old siding was aluminum and pitted from years of hail damage.  The color was more of a darker sage green.  You can also see the old roof and how ugly that color was on the roof.

This is the new siding.  It is more of a gray green.  Hard to get a great pic of the color but it is much prettier and I like the thinner siding.  This is the siding they used on the garage so now they match.  The roof is brand new and a milder color from the old roof.
Ok!  if you look to the right of the pic you will see all the old siding and crap from them working on the house.  Pretty right?!  NOT!!!

This is the pile of rubble they left.  Apparently there is a dispute between the contractor company and the dumpster people.   Terry had a discussion with our contractor and he told him it has to go.  Dispute or no dispute you have to get this off our driveway.  Today they are suppose to come and remove it.  Looks like the Beverly Hillbillies live here.  Not sure Jed would even like this pile sitting on his driveway!

My climbers are wrapping around the post and angel.
There were vents to the crawl space hidden under layers of siding so we had them restore them and this will keep the crawl space from being musty.

Look how high my climbers on the arch have gotten.  I am so excited about these climbers.

Most of the climbing roses are yellow but every so often a peach color rose will open up as you see with these two.  Weird how they are all one plant but every so often one opens in a pale pink.

My knock out roses are doing their thing and well... knocking out roses.  Everyday I see tons more opening up.  They are intertwining nicely through the fence.  Talk about maintenance free!!! I just deadhead them when the petals are done and more then pop up.  They will do this into the fall until we get our first frost.

They are almost a hot pink color.

My birdbath area I made this year where we took out the dead tree is filling in nicely.

Terry found out there was enough siding and trim left from the house so he decide to cover his new shed to match the house and garage.  This is what it looked like before.

Now the shed matches the house and garage.  He still wants to touch up the trim paint but I think he did a great job with the leftover siding.

Wishing all of you a beautiful summer week ahead.
