Since we purchased The Red House in 2005, Aaron and I have know that the beloved piece of North Brainerd History was eventually going to need some serious loving. We put it of, we procrastinated, we patched, and finally we stood back with critical gazes and realized it was time.
And so, three weeks ago, our contracting hero, Christoper Lynch of Lynch Construction, began the arduous task of pulling down rotting siding, replacing damaged structural boards, tacking up tar paper, installing new woodwork and trim as well as several new windows, constructing a new back stoop, putting up new siding, and returning the whole shebang to her original glorious state. To say the least this is an ongoing project of massive proportions and the continual pounding of hammers and wine of saws has Caleb nearly beside himself with excitement.
While our "new house"is still very much in progress, I thought I would post a picture of what she looks like now, naked. And for those who are concerned, don't worry, when all is said and done, she will be red once more.
