One of our greatest pleasures is seeing the houses we work on being transformed. Often our memory is short; we look at photos taken at the start of the renovation process and think, “Wow, did it really look like that?” The gallery below is a great example of the existing garage’s resurrection. It was covered with a tangle of vines, and the exterior was in rough shape. However, the basic structure was good, even though it leaned a good 6”. John and Evan straightened it back up and strengthened the walls. Next came new exterior siding (we found material that would match the original wood) and the addition of two windows. The original doors had great style, but were in really sad and could not be salvaged. Evan built new ones of the same design and installed them. Tap the photo below to see how the work progressed.

Progress report - Lots of interior finishing has been taking place. Felipe and Walter covered the popcorn ceilings with 1/4” sheet rock, finished the new interior walls and made repairs to the existing ones. Mark and David have been painting pretty much anything that did not move.
