What's left...

The backyard is the final piece in putting the house back together again. Here's what it looked like before:

(Yup, that's roofing materials up on top, lol.) 

Right now, here's what it looks like having removed the deck and mended the siding there so it could all be painted (minus the ladder, since that was just being used to put the window screens back up)...

So. We obviously need to do something about replacing the deck. :) The insurance declared it mostly totalled and is paying to mostly replace it. We're in the process of getting bids and are thinking we'll end up with a paver or stamped concrete patio instead of a deck. (If you have any suggestions or recommended contractors or just plain ideas, send 'em my way!! The slope in the backyard is giving us some troubles...)

Once we figure that out and get the work done (such that we have steps again and can get out the sliding door), we'll replace that sliding door, too. It has nothing to do with the hail storm but needs to be replaced (because it doesn't lock correctly and sometimes doesn't open correctly and isn't sealed correctly). ;)

And then we'll be done. For now. ;) It's been a year packed with home projects, and we're tired. :)
