Fast forward to now: The Seaside home has officially sold and we're moving to a Farmhouse on 34 acres. (YASSSSSS I KNOW RITE!! Dream come true.)
I decided to take these last few days before we leave to show off all the work we did here. This blog is about the Exterior.
Before...
After 😁
From 1980's large, painted cedar shake, light blue foundation, and dual chimneys to beautiful Cape Cod style shake, a dark grey foundation, 2 new decks, 2 new exterior doors, a peak for the basement entrance, and a 5 foot sliding door.

Let's Get Gritty
I'm sure you noticed that absolute monstrosity of a chimney...have you ever seen one bigger? Say goodbye!
Look up, I mean wayyyyy up. That speck up there, that's my husband...I was on emergency standby with the phone pre-dialled to 911.
Breaking out the Fireplace
Building a new peak
The metal chimney was removed as well, there it is on the lawn, and yes we did keep it, and yes that yellow ladder is performing an extraordinary feat. I think the scaffolding is actually looking safe in comparison! Let's not talk about the ladder...
Stripping off the Old Cedar Shake
It was a job that anyone could do, but torturous! We all took turns with the crowbars large and small (@hendrix22 performed his acrobatics up high once again).
It took months as we stripped one side at a time, and then the men wrapped and re-sided it with cape cod style cedar shake.
Two new Decks
I hope you enjoyed seeing the process of renovating the exterior of the Seaside Home!
I know one thing is for sure, we never want to see one of these again:

Hi Mike! Thanks for checking it out 😁
What a PROJECT!
Took a whole year to put together that post and it was worth it!
I can't help but be distracted by what is to come with you on 34 acres of farm land! Just like @broncnutz, I think recent events mean we will be getting a lot more gold out of you this year! Maybe #gardenjournal content.
Have you met @gubbatv? Slightly newer Hive personality with huge Vlog game and style living a homesteading adventure.
Thank you for the tips on who to follow Zeke! I also appreciate your enthusiasm about the move to the farm, you are right there will be a LOT of gardening, this year's garden will be 1/2 an acre. Pigs as well will be making a debut! Take care Mr. Beerologist!
It's been a long time since I saw your last post!
That looks very nice, what a wonderful place to live! 🤗
Great to see you too @Trincowski! Thanks so much for stopping by 😇
This is fantastic news! Congratulations to the whole Fam on a job well done to making a dream come true!
Thanks so much Nova!
Incredible! What a masterful job! Brendan sure has balls of steel 😂 The boys are sure getting big. I remember you telling me that having a homestead on some land was your dream and am thrilled to see that coming into view. I am so happy for you and your family Lynds!
Thanks for the awesome vibes Michael, and so great to see you!
