Well yesterday the weather was beautiful in the morning and progress was being made quickly in the painting department, then the rain came fast. Luckily the wet paint was up high where it was most protected from rain and they just wrapped up and quit for the day when it hit.

Yesterday’s progress. The left 2 sides of the bumpout are painted yellow leaving just the right side primed and needing paint. The siding is primed with tinted green and they started painting it green. This is when it started raining…

Today it felt like it would rain any minute (HIGH humidity) but it held off.  They finished painting, took down the staging, put up the molding i had pre-painted and repaired the holes where the pump jack was connected.  They are done for the day with the threat of rain, wanting to give the paint time to dry.  Off to pick up staging materials so tomorrow they can stage the rest of the bumpout to get working on the window caps and shingles/shakes.

And today – all done. The bottom frieze actually still needs paint, it’s just primed and that right window of the bumpout needs paint (once staging goes up) but otherwise this side is done and they are ready to start the next section tomorrow.

From what I understand, the bumpout and peak get started tomorrow.  That will take a few days, so maybe next week they’ll start the tower.  They are anticipating 2 weeks for just the tower work.  Hopefully the windows come this week as planned so they don’t hold them up at all.
