The plan must include a clear project timeline and budget with line item costs. The contractor shall act as the general contractor for the project using subcontractors as required. Subcontractors that will be required should be clearly identified in the project plan. Remove the aluminum siding leaving the soffit and fascia intact. There is one piece of fascia on the west rake that is missing and will need a new one bent, then installed. There will be a layer of house wrap and fan-fold installed over the original siding wood siding. All seams will be taped and final layer will have plastic cap nails holding the foam in place. This project will include installation of vinyl double 4" with standard colors and thickness siding. Homeowner will choose a color from color selections that the contractor provides. All penetrations through the walls will require a split siding block or light block matching the siding color and caulk with color matching approved exterior caulk. Appropriate color channeling and trims are required including the top course of siding installed into a utility trim with snap lock application, preventing top course of siding from unengaging. Install break metal on the existing windows over the bare exterior stops. I had a count of 7 units. Caulk to the window and trim metal with quad white caulk. The two exterior lights will be replaced with LED double floods on motion sensors. One is at the back door and a wall mount the other is at the front door and is hung from the soffit. Remove the metal railing from the front porch cutting it flush wit the concrete. Install a black metal railing with tube balusters. Use Matching square tube posts fasten to the concrete top and stairs with approved fasteners. This railing system must be able to withstand 200lbs of side pressure.

Remove the elbow off the tail pipe that is currently still installed and reinstall a hinge bracket to that one matching the other 3. Install a Co2/smoker in the basement near the gas fired appliance.
