j2davis2005: Backyard Kitchen Garden
j2davis2005: When you need to haul stuff like siding that is just too long for your short bed, you weld an extender ;)
j2davis2005: Picking up new siding for the house. This Christmas will be Davis DIY house residing project! Jeremy had to weld us a new hitch in 15 minutes for us to be able to haul these. #diy #newsiding #remodeling #vinylsiding
j2davis2005: Ya, there was so much moisture underneath this horribly done stucco siding that there are serious rot and signs of Bermuda grass growing up the side of the house... Glad we are replacing this terrible siding now. #diysiding #davisprojects #homeimprovement
j2davis2005: Got grass? We found about 3-4 ft long of Bermuda grass stolons climbing behind siding and even into the insulation. The will to grow is amazing. But the backyard clearly used to be grass before they put i the pool. #rottingsiding #homeimprovements #davisp
j2davis2005: It is just a little bit cold this morning... ❄️😳 #winterinarizona #morningfrost #frosty
j2davis2005: New insulation and sheathing of the first section is almost done.
j2davis2005: Top is our work this Christmas bottom was our work last Christmas. Clearly we have some tradition building and remodeling during XMas happening.
j2davis2005: Our goal is to insulate and build our new siding so we don't have to touch it again for another 40 years! #davisprojects #diysiding #homeimprovements
j2davis2005: After a lunch break add some 2x4 blocking to increase wall support and added sheathing nail surface and insulation and sheathing on this section.
j2davis2005: I like clamps.
j2davis2005: Christmas morning London Fog and a 1 & 1 before doing more siding work haha.
j2davis2005: Who in their right mind would be up Christmas morning doing house re siding work? Ya our crazy asses, obviously.
j2davis2005: Davis house turns a bunch of stupid into serious over building, but we did buy the house to keep for a very long time. But the difference from under insulated and bad water trapping add on siding to insanely insulated and sealed is our goal.
j2davis2005: My awesome husband insulating and getting things ready for our new siding! #davisprojects #diysiding #homeimprovements
j2davis2005: We big walls eave boxed in, more insulation in on second wall and more OSB up, bunch of 2x4 blocking for the low eaves in, tyvex taped, trim and flashing on bedroom door on, tomorrow is foam board and start vinyl siding.
j2davis2005: Quite a construction site but this side is almost done minus soffit and fascia capping.
j2davis2005: Back at it again. Think we will finish this side today! #diysiding #davisprojects #homeimprovements #vinylsiding #alsidesiding
j2davis2005: 8 feet up the wall and pretty much perfect still. Can't beat that.
j2davis2005: Jeremy putting in the last piece for our first new sided wall! We are so proud of our finished product. Two more walls to tear down and reside this week and we will slow down on residing for a little bit. #alsidesiding #vinylsiding #homeimprovements #davi
j2davis2005: Tear down part 2
j2davis2005: Now that some key wiring work is done we did get back to some visual progress but will have to bust ass tomorrow.
j2davis2005: Got it all insulated and new half inch sheathing on. We still have daylight so a little bit of taping then house wrap, then soffit boxing in, then foam board, then siding. Though siding might not get done today.
j2davis2005: By work light but all but trim around doors and very top run under soffit done!
j2davis2005: Final row of vinyl is done in the back of the house!
