Wow, thats quite a project you have taken on. I bet you have a lot of time and money invested in the remodel. I really like your back doors and your fence, ist it wrought iron or aluminum?

Wrought Iron. The back doors really opened up the back yard. Amazing what those little bars hide by breaking up the windows. After it is all said and done the remodeling bill will run betwoo 50-60K, but itll add around 100-120K to the price for when my parents sell the house. They are looking at moving into a smaller house in 3-5 years because their "babies" have moved on.

That`s no house - that`s a mansion.

Wow - beautiful inside and out.

You are making great progress. I still lack the back side of my house to install new windows, new siding and a deck.

I haven`t checked out this thread for a while but the progress is fantastic. I especially like the new columns. You know you`ve made it when your house has columns! lol :2thumbs:

It was also discovered in the replacing of the shutters that the bottoms ones are made of plastic and top ones are made of wood. We are having problems finding replacment plastic ones right now.

If the plastic shutters are just faded, give Krylon Fusion a try. I recently had the same problem trying to find shutters for a new eddition to match our existing shutters. We also had a problem with fading shutters on the second floor. I painted the faded shutters with Hunter Green Krylon Fusion. I got shutters for the addition that were about as close to the style of the existing shutters as possible. I still have to paint them as the color is a bit off. I am really pleased with how the shutters turned out. Definitely worth a try if you aren`t successful in finding replacement shutters.
