Updated Photos - TODAY! 11/11/2018

I drove out to Hideaway today to visit the house, hang the drapes, get a couple of measurements and winterize the hose bibs. It is going to get cold and rainy this week, but today was a fairly pleasant, although not a "sunny" day. I took the opportunity to just take a bunch of photos so here they are!

EXTERIOR

From the backyard - tiny house HUGE deck

My new favorite photo of the exterior of the house.

The trees are nice but WHOA the leaves and mountains of acorns are amazing.

My yard backs to a green space so no house looking over the fence!

I think the next real project will be enclosing the carport to make a double car garage. Absolutely necessary before I move in for sure.

Those new doors make another appearance. Can't get enough of them.

INTERIOR

Almost 2 years old and these quartz countertops look newly installed.

New French Doors - November 2018

When I bought the house in September 2016 I knew it had the original windows and fixtures. The windows are pretty good even though they're single pane, they have storm window coverings so for now, they remain.

Original 1975 Sliding doors.

The sliding door in the living room was almost 8' wide, single pane and ridiculously heavy. It took a LOT of effort to even open it and it was not at all energy efficient. I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade it. I bought a set of french doors with side opening side lights. The sidelights actually both open, have screens and allow for circulation. No brainer.

They are really heavy and the contractor John and his partner Aaron manhandled them into place and the results are completely amazing.

The full length side lights with the screen allow for great ventilation.

The sidelights that open are the real winner. Not just good looking but functional too!

Even the outside looks great!

Money well spent all round.
