UPGRADES in 2008
In May of 2008, the cottage went through a major face lift by
installing Dutch Lapp vinyl siding over top of the old wooden T-111
siding.
Below are some pictures of the finished product.
UPGRADES in 2010
In February 2010, the cottage got the much needed central
Heating And Air Conditioning System. This now eliminates the old electric
base board heat strips and the old school window unit A/C units.
Now, there is a brand new Maytag
24,000 BTU (2-Ton) Heat Pump HVAC system installed with ceiling vents in all
rooms.
A digital thermostat in the hallway is now provided.
This now makes the atmosphere more comfortable and
quiet without the noisy window unit A/C's running.
The new system was installed by
R. A. Hoy Heating and Air Conditioning in Kitty Hawk.
UPGRADES in 2010
In September 2010, the cottage got all new energy efficient
windows and doors. Now, all the windows can be easily opened if an outside
ocean breeze is desired. The old storm windows are gone making it easy to
enjoy opening the windows. The new windows are double-hung, double pane,
E-Rated windows and made by
Simonton.
UPGRADES in 2010
In September 2010, the cottage also got all new, solid
fiberglass, entry doors and storm doors. The front storm door, made by
Anderson, is now full glass making it easy for your pets and kids to see out
the front door. The new fiberglass doors also got a security upgrade with
high quality locks and dead bolts by
Schlage
to keep you and your belongings as safe as possible.
UPGRADES IN 2011
A Samsung 40" High Definition LCD TV with an HD DVR from Direct TV
was added.
You can now record your shows in HD while you are at the beach for
viewing at a later time. All Norfolk, VA local channels (3-43) are also
now in HD
A brand new GE 25 cu-ft side-by-side refrigerator with ice and
water dispensers on the door has now been added in the kitchen.
UPGRADES IN 2014
New kitchen vinyl flooring was installed with a nice simulated stone
texture.
It is the glue less type that has a slight cushion feel that feels
great on bare feet.
UPGRADES IN 2015
The cottage got all brand new wall to wall carpeting with a nice high
quality foam padding from Lowes of Kill Devil Hills. This included the
living room, dining room and all three bedrooms. The Fourier at the front
door was also upgraded with new vinyl flooring to match the new kitchen floor
that was upgraded in 2014.
UPGRADES IN 2016
The old wooden love seat on the front porch was finally upgraded to a
true outdoor wicker patio sofa. The old wooden love seat made it 16 years
as a lounger for the front porch. It really was not made for outdoor use
but it worked.
Now, with the new patio sofa, there is room for 3 to enjoy the peace and quiet
of OBX.
In 2009, the entire deck, railing, pylons and steps were
completely stripped of old stain all the way down to the natural wood,
using a high strength stain stripper and power washer.
Then, 2 weeks later, a fresh coat of linseed oil-based "Cedar-Tone"
stain was re-applied. This project took approximately 17 gallons
of stain stripper and about 17 gallons of
Sherwin Williams "Deck-Scapes" stain.
As you can, the deck now looks brand new.
A view from the back shows the new vinyl siding and Simonton energy efficient
windows.. The back stairwell was also replaced in 2008.
A couple of views of the living room show a relaxing TV
viewing atmosphere.
A video rental store is only 3 minutes away.
Some of the included luxuries are:
Dolby® Pro-Logic Surround Sound System
DirecTV® Satellite with 130 channels including Norfolk locals
40" HDTV
