Rainy day

No pictures because it’s raining too hard to go out and take them.  I wanted to quick document the progress they made yesterday.

The 2 vinyl windows in the back are trimmed out with sills/casings and the caps were made but not yet installed (the frieze board has to be installed first and the caps modified to fit tightly).  On the bumpout they got the sill extended all the way around so the panels can be started using that as a starting point.

The cupola siding is about 1/2 torn off, then they covered what was exposed with tar paper in preparation for the rain.  Everything was cleaned up and covered for the weekend, with the rain coming they knew they wouldn’t be coming by today to work.

Monday the plan is to get the panels on the bumpout started, the rest of the cupola siding and windows removed (so our bedroom needs to be emptied out so they can remove windows).  Then our bedroom windows will get installed and the panels finished up on the bumpout and then the siding on the back part done.

The whole front of the house minus the actual screen porch will get finished by then, we’ll do the porch ourselves either this summer or next but it’s in decent shape.  The hard part is deciding what to do about the floor of that porch and adding drainage before we can re-roof the full wrap around porch roof.

Looking forward to next week’s progress!
