No not my house
This is our house.
I'll be redoing the front porch/railing with pvc once the contractor is done.
Railing— if you do any standing at the railing and yelling at kids on your lawn might want to do wood. It just feels better than PVC and doesn’t get as hot in the sun.

Going to use the same ones I used for my back deck. My kids climb over them all the time. Solid as a rock.
And I usually sit in the upstairs bathroom on the and fire warning shot at the kids on my lawn.
Wow, what a difference but you know, you could have put the cost of this towards the NSX...
Thanks.
Haha true about the NSX. Just not a smart purchase right now. Had no desire to take out a loan for this work so cash went to home improvement.
Also have a few more things that take precedent right now.
1) Retirement
2) Bar & Bat mitzvah this year
3) 3 kids to put through college
4) Improvements to vacation home

n) Toys
NSXNEXT was the name I created in my early 20s when I joined Acura-tl.com before "life" happened.
I know you guys get a kick out of throwing NSXNONE in my face. All goood. When I'm comfortably prepared for retirement the toy will be a reality.
At one time I wanted an M5 really really badly. I would have sacrificed so many other things though to get one that I am glad I never pulled the trigger.
Sometimes dreams are best when they remain dreams.

New siding looks great. I can't tell from the low quality before picture but did you have white corner caps before or were they the same color as the siding? I really like it being trimmed out in white.
The stone looks good. Gives the house a little more detail than just boring concrete or running the siding all the way down to the ground (my home...boring).

Yeah I have a ton of it left. I want to continue it under the steps and along the front porch but that requires a bit more work.
I have to build cement board panels then attach them under the porch.
Doable just a bit more work.
I need to replace the railings and deck boards too.
Just $$$ and time.
Oh so you are doing that install yourself. I didn't know if you had the same company that did the siding do it. You just use outdoor stone adhesive to mount it to the concrete?

Yeah I'm doing it myself.
Prep is key. If the concrete is painted your SOL and will have to sandblast off the paint.
Mine was originally covered in stucco. I stripped the stucco, sanded off anything remaining, and then power washed it.
