In regard to house restoration, as soon as you fix one thing up the adjacent features look very old and tired in comparison. With the house looking great, the 50- year old shingles and trim on the garage looked very bad indeed. My dad had the garage constructed between 1961 and 1962 and very little has been done to it since. We did not think that we could afford to fix the garage up at this time, but Chuck Lacey, the framer who built the house gave us a great price so we moved forward. So mid July Glenna and I started to strip the shingles. Very hard work that left us sore for days. The Lacey's then came in and stripped off all of the old trim and installed the new trim in a single day, on the next day they were able to install the vinyl Anderson windows we had saved from the house reconstruction, replacing the old rotten windows. A week or so later one of Chuck's crew, Sack, went to work on the shingles and had them done in five days. It is looking great.
