It has been a year since I started drawing the house plans. This is one of the photos I had to take and send to the Historical Society. They had no interest in any part of Claremont by the way.
This picture was taken last week, but it hasn't changed much. The old front porch slab and walk ways were removed. The missing gravel where the walk ways were is hidden behind the planted islands in the picture. The new gravel goes in tomorrow finishing the landscaping.
This is what the front entry of the house looks like today except that the paining is now complete and the rotten wood above the front door has been replaced. Notice the entry slab that goes all the way to the corner The fence was rebuilt and moved behind the entry.
Almost all the wood you see in this picture was too sun, rain and termite damaged to remain. The 1970's stained wood look did little to protect woodwork. The sheds were torn out.
The redwood paneling was stripped and stuccoed over and the trim boards (facia) was removed and replaced. The new entry slab was pored over the foundation of the chipped and broken concrete that was pored as a foundation for the sheds.
