It's ours! Finally. Legally. Hick and I signed the papers on Wednesday afternoon. More on that story eventually. Today we take a look at the back porch. Technically, the lack of a back porch. It has been ripped off.
The floor/ceiling still has to be removed. Hick said HOS and buddy took the metal off the porch roof. It's in the yard. Hick will bring it home and use it for projects that I don't even want to think about. There were shingles under the metal, which will have to go to the landfill, since they missed getting them in the dumpster. The boards of the floor and roof will be saved by Hick. Right now that's the roof boards sitting on top of the floor boards.
I asked Hick why it looks like there's a big hole in the house roof by his "new" wall. He said, "Because there's a big hole in the house roof."
"Won't it leak when it rains???"
"It was already leaking when it rained! There's wood under that opening. It gets wet and leaks. The roofers should be able to start next week. That'll take care of it."
The area of white shingles is where the back door will be. That's the kitchen. There's already a window covered with a square of plywood because it was broken. Hick had his glass guy fix two windows, and will be putting that one back in after the roofing is done.
It's coming along. I'm ready to get it on the market!
Celebrations! Libations! Rubenations! So glad this is officially yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to part with it quite quickly! But happy that we're spending money on something we legally own.
DeleteNot sure how Hick and Pony do this. I recall one house that Hick was attacking. what happened with it?
ReplyDeleteNo idea. This is our 6th flip. All of them have been sold except the current two.
DeleteThe front was prettier to look at when you showed it, this end is a mess, but a sortable, fixable mess. I read a joke in someone's blog this morning, "If a man says he will do something, he will. No need to remind him every six months." I thought of Hick right away, with your rail-less basement steps.
ReplyDeleteThat joke fits Hick well. Gosh! Who woulda thunk a $15,000 house would be a mess...
