In this past year, we have all of a sudden had to do A LOT of work to our house. We’ve been living here almost 10 years so it makes sense that it starts to fall apart on us NOW! Last winter, our basement flooded and we had to toss everything out. Our air conditioner broke down on us twice this summer and we had to get a sewer lateral done in our front yard. While we are doing all these improvements on our house, I’ve started looking at the exterior of out house – specifically our siding!
I happen to think our siding is pretty outdated – we just removed some bushes that were in front of our house so I know we need to give it a good power wash but I never knew I could update the look with new siding!
Our siding – yikes!
