Woo hoo! New siding and windows for Front House. It was a cloudy day (surprise), so everything is a little gray.
|
The porch is still the original pre-fire porch. The house doesn't look quite so gigantic from the right side and front.
|
From this side, the house is a monster. Siding looks great. Regrettably, no one answered the door when I knocked so I didn't see inside.
|
The featureless wall is in the back too.
I was a bit taken aback with white (it used to be blue). It's a very big building and it looked like a white elephant to me at first. In retrospect, it looks more "classic" than blue does. It reminds me of the pictures of old Front House.
I wonder, though, how much cleaning it will need.

A closer-up of the siding and windows. Looking in the basement openings showed a pool table in the middle of a big rework.
|
I like this style of window much more than the old ones.
|
The BBQ pit was built in my era. Looks the same (1990-ish). (Squirrel is plastic.)
|
The rest of the property needs a lot of TLC too. (I took some pics of the decay to document it, not to lessen how good Front House looks.)
|
What the hell color is that porch?

Ouch.
Snyder House is in rough shape.
|
I think those window cracks were created in 1989 during a slingshot war with Back House.
|
The "meat locker" (door on left) is nearly rotted away.
|
The barn, though, looks great.
|
Front House porch looks just about like it did 15 years ago. It's always been in a constant state of needing repair.
|
This railing looks worse.
