Well now that I’m away I don’t get so many pictures but Ryan snapped one this morning before heading into work.  They started work on the tower in earnest, getting the panels around the windows almost done which involved some flashing with the porch roof and window caps.

Monday/Tuesday panel progress on the tower

Monday they got the moldings up around the peak and the top windows of the peak, those really came out nice.

Moldings up on the peak, and the windows which are tough to see in the picture. Once the scaffolding is down i’ll get a good picture of this.

I am very happy with the molding installation work, they did a great job, much better than the painter we hired on the other side did last year, who added blocking because he didn’t know how to go around the short bend.  This contractor is great at that detail work which is why we hired him!

Before leaving I got the second coat of paint on all the extra moldings we have so hopefully nothing is holding them up this week.  They should have all the materials they need and should be able to make some good progress, I just feel bad about the insane heat wave that is going on back east. (I’m in CA where it’s nice and non-humid).
