Gutter approval <br />https://www.kmsheetmetal.com/shop/Reverse-Bead-24-Gauge-Galvalume-Half-Round- <br />Gutter-p56180602 <br />2. Remove concrete walkway from around the house <br />The house has had and continues to have water and damp issues in the basement and <br />crawlspace. Some of this is ground water, and some of it is surface water. <br />The entire property needs to be regraded because the ground slopes towards the house <br />on three sides. Unfortunately, only the west and south sides can be seriously reworked. <br />The north side is too close to neighbors. <br />The sidewalk that runs from the River Avenue gate entrance and wraps around the east, <br />south, and west sides of the house directs rain / surface water towards the house's <br />foundation and traps it there, particularly on the south and west side of the house. <br />We would like to remove the walkway in order to properly regrade and work on water <br />management around the foundation. <br />We plan on putting a replacement walkway back in the same or very similar spot. <br />However, we'll be using bricks that allow drainage down into the soil and away from the <br />house. <br />3. Sunroom Wall <br />When we purchased the house, the south wall of the sunroom had been <br />severely damaged by rain water. We received permission to rebuild the entire wall and <br />reuse the original windows. <br />Later, we received approval to put a door in that wall instead of the windows. Our <br />original plan was a centered door with sidelights. <br />After more planning, we realized we could put in a door and keep one of the original <br />windows. This would keep more of the original elements in the house, and it is a <br />better design for the house. <br />Also, we plan to reincorporate the upper sash of the window we won't be reinstalling as <br />an internal window from the sunroom to the kitchen. <br />Other Updates <br />-All green cedar shingle siding removed <br />-External siding on loft and dormer
