Pony House Done: Back Wall

Pony House is done! Not DONE, done. But mostly done. The Pony moved in on Sunday. So it's done enough. Of course there are still a few lingering projects for Hick. One of them is the back wall of Pony House. Hick feels like he is basically done with it, now that he tore off the back wall and made a porch.

 

Let's have a refresher. Here's the street view of Pony House from the front.

 

 

And here's a street view of Pony House's rear:

 

Hick worked on renovating the back right corner, which is the Master Bathroom now.

 

Here is what was under the siding. Which Hick then ripped off down to the bones:

 

Purty, ain't it? You're looking right into The Pony's Master Bathroom-to-be. Hick covered this area with what he told me was CEDAR SIDING. Which looked nothing like the cedar siding we put on my $17,000 house. This was sheets of alleged-cedar plywood-like boards:

 

I KNOW! Few people were fans of this look. Me being the #1 non-fan. The portion to the left is what Hick planned to tear out, and make a back porch with a roof, at the back door of Pony House.

And FINALLY, what the back of Pony House looks like now:

 

Okay. It's not COMPLETELY done, but it doesn't interfere with the living quarters inside. Hick says he still needs a header, and he's planning to pour 4 inches of concrete for the porch. He will need to power-wash the boards where the rain splashed mud, and put in the gravel drainage area there which was always going to be one of the last things done. 

The back will be painted white at the very least, or perhaps a light blue/gunmetal gray if that's what The Pony chooses for the whole house. Siding will be an option later...
