I began the new siding / skirting project in the Spring of 2016, juggled other outdoor projects and then added the skirting / cedar siding under the mudroom. I could only get half way through that too, as the front porch needed dry rot boards replaced as well as leveling.
By the end of August I completed what is pictured above. I had help with the leveling but replaced the deck boards myself and added the skirting boards. Later I added the new gravel and began work on the landscaping.
It's simple, it's safe and was extremely affordable.
Next Spring I can work on the surrounding landscaping to bring back that charm it had in earlier days.
