Now, here comes the final REVEAL! Our completed home with the
Aluminum Interlock Metal Roofing and the Benjamin Moore Golden Mist Exterior... We have waited long enough, for having better weather to take photos, but that never happened. Only now our balcony has been completed as well. As I write this, not yet painted by the very same professional painters that did our entire exterior of the home and the gazebo. When that is done, you will get more photos from the back of our home with the balcony as well.
Photo has been taken on June 24, you see how gray the sky looks; pregnant with rain...
LOTS of rain we have had.
We got so lucky for having the roof installed in 4 days with perfect weather and also for the painters we had 3 weeks of perfect weather.
Needless to say that our lawn is GREEN... but soggy!
The Benjamin Moore Golden Mist color works perfect with the Aluminum Slate Roofing in Aged Copper color. We did our very best to lower our Carbon Footprint and it pays off!
The shutters are in a Chrome Green and the windows and all the
Vintage Woodworks gingerbread wood trim, balusters and posts are in white.
What do you say?
The indoor shutters are not fully open...
The white hibiscus are blooming in front of our home.
Now let's walk around the corner towards the bay window area.
This photo I made on August 6, the same gray sky and very pregnant with rain.
Our Speckie girl followed me, as they all usually do – like a doggy.
This is back to June 24, with the white petunias just having been planted inside our Fiberglass Window Boxes.
There was so much to do after the painters did pressure wash the house.
Next they caulk it and painted it with two layers of Benjamin Moore paint in Golden Mist.
We had to take all the Window Boxes off the walls, as it had to be bare.
Than putting them back on, filling them with potting soil and finding plants in summer time...
A little bit closer for the picture.
Our prostrate gardenias are blooming too.
Now you can see the gazebo coming in view as well and that too has a new aluminum 'aged copper' roof.
All our trees are so lush this summer with that much rain.
More view of he gazebo.
Below the large dogwood tree, no grass is growing in the shade...
Now it is pure mud!
One last view of the Benjamin Moore Golden Mist with Chrome Green for the shutters.
You can see here that the balusters are still not on the balcony.
I will show that later with the complete back side and in another post also you get to see our gazebo.
All those planter boxes had to come off the walls, and back on...
Our youngest cat-man 'Smokey' walks here on the driveway.
I found him up in the magnolia tree next to the driveway to the left (not visible here).
Somebody must have put him out there. A poor kitten; literally skin over bone.
He was trying to steal some morsels from our cats but there was not much left...
Smokey is part Persian and we got him back to good health. He was so sick at first.
Cowards that put him out like that and they had even tried to kill him as he was so tender on his back and also his tail. He barely could 'talk' and his throat was very sensitive to touching.
God knows what this poor soul went through before I did hear him, thinking there was a hawk rustling those magnolia leaves...
That was so far the update on our home and on Smokey!
