Upper Level Deck
- Alyse needs to bring home deck books from the library for a model. Also checkout this website (lockdry.com)
-White or Gray (whichever best matches/contrasts the siding) --> which HOA-approved color matches this best? White Ready Mix?
-Thick lumber as base ~ $7.00 per plank
-Do we want to use lockdry's railings as well? Or buy railings from Office Depot?
- make appropriate measurements (from second level to edge of yard + yard width = perimeter, length x width = area -- Deck will be smaller than this. Decide how big we want the deck to be: probably half the size of the yard -- look at other decks in the neighborhood)
- get plans from Home Depot
- submit all plans for approval to the HOA and the city before beginning
- Have Miss Utility come and mark the ground
- hope like hell the boys know what they are doing >.<
Lower Level Deck
- Checkout Fibron Decking from Home Depot
~$6.00 per plank
- make appropriate measurements (from backdoor to edge of yard + yard width = perimeter, length x width = area, how high above the ground do we want it?)
- get plans from Home Depot
- submit all plans for approval to the HOA and the city before beginning
- Have Miss Utility come and mark the ground
- Build deck
Siding (siding and windows will probably be done together in walls: three weekends = one side of house per weekend)
- print off color options (http://www.cannonridgehomes.info/Paint.htm) (http://www.myperfectcolor.com/)
-Kennett Square, French Silver, Silvery Moonlight, Quiet Light, Grey Nuance, Heather Grey
- choose color for siding and then color for shutters, front door, etc (take into consideration the color options for the deck -- try to match siding with deck)
-shutters = White --> which of the HOA-approved colors matches this best? White Ready Mix?
-siding = Champagne, Beige, Silver --> which of the HOA-approved colors matches this best? Silvery Moonlight?
-Traditional cut? vs. Semi-Bead, Narrow Plank, Dutchlap
- make appropriate measurements (estimate amount of siding needed based on square footage of house --> height of house, width of each of the walls, subtract the windows)
- get plans from Home Depot
- submit all plans for approval to the HOA before beginning
- order materials (probably from Home Depot)
- put up siding (boys will probably do this themselves using system Ralph found)
- Return whatever siding is not needed
- Replace garage door (white or a color that matches siding)
Windows (siding and windows will probably be done together in walls: three weekends = one side of house per weekend)
- Decide what type of windows to use -- take into consideration tax breaks based on energy efficiency (Low E double hung) - Brands: American Craftsman vs. Andersen, possibly no crosshatches, ~$200 per window
- See if we can get siding and windows at the same time at a discounted price -- probably from Home Depot
- patch up rotting wood/holes of the two big window frames out front with good wood
- cover wood of big windows with vinyl -- color will probably be same color as siding or white
- look at glass doors to replace the long windows in the living room that will lead to the deck (~$800 each)
- make appropriate measurements (number and sizes -- height and width of windows)
- get plans from Home Depot
- submit all plans for approval to the HOA before beginning
- install windows along with siding (look into new inside trim if we can't get it off without breaking it)
- look into tax breaks for energy-efficient windows (homedepot.com/taxcredit)
Fence
- make appropriate measurements (from backdoor to edge of yard + yard width = perimeter. Also look into having the fence go around the side yard -- look at neighbor's fence. how high do we want it? What type?)
- ~$40 per square for vinyl
- get plans from Home Depot
- submit all plans for approval to the HOA and the city before beginning
- Have Miss Utility come and mark the ground
- Put up the fence
