Weekend work

This weekend was a mish-mash of work.  Saturday Ryan finished the third wall of the little bathroom (the doorway) and started the wall next to the tub, however all hour wood is now warped so he got frustrated very quickly with that.  Unfortunately a trip to home depot Sunday was no good, all their wood was warped (no new stock).  So that was left unfinished for now.

Outside I got the small section of siding on the front primed and then painted.  I also got the shakes around the little porch all stripped off so we can start to figure out what to do with this porch.  One corner of it is rotting out (carpenter ants) so there may be more rebuilding than originally planned.  First though we need to fix the support underneath, the 2x3s are just not enough to support the porch weight.

Siding primed/painted and molding up.

Shakes all stripped off

Our contractor today got the red molding up under the soffit.  He also worked on the top crown piece, he was having trouble with getting it to match up the outside corner so he has the pieces cut with the right angles but hasn’t put them up yet because he’s trying to figure out that corner first.  He has to meet up with the old crown that was installed last year.
