Purple House

The bathroom is getting a full  makeover.  Here you see new copper water supply stub outs and the makings of a new tile floor.

The kitchen already sported authentic bead board wainscoting.  We installed all new windows and caulked the bejeebees out of the place.

Looking through the bathroom  window from the outside you see the bedroom windows from the inside.

Getting the kitchen caulked and painted before installing new flooring.  New cabinets going in too.

Careful not to get paint on new cabinets.  A fresh backsplash for the classic metal sink is ready for grout.

A good view of the blue house and grey garage can be had in the reflection of this new vinyl window.

The house has good bones.  It’s just in need of some love.

Bright purple paint wakes this little house right up.

New board and baton siding seals decades of air gaps.

Oh boy is there a lot of work to be done at Purple House.  Here you can see evidence of the old adobe walls.  This house was built in the 1780s, long before the rest of the neighborhood built up around it.

What an incredible difference!  Still working on finishing the new water heater enclosure.
