Surprisingly they only missed a half day last week due to rain, although they couldn’t paint with the constant threat of rain. Great progress was made when I came home Friday morning and I’ll just explain through the pictures since I wasn’t here to witness it anyhow 🙂 I don’t think I have a picture …
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 they got the moldings up around …
Another weekend home and we got to do some work on the house! During Alex’s morning nap I went out and sanded and primed the old shakes. Afternoon nap was spent working on finishing up the crown molding in the kitchen and taking a nap myself so no more painting (plus the oil based primer …
The second half of this week sure had some better weather than the first half! Just getting nicer and nicer, figures this weekend is going to be some thunderstorms because I have some painting to do and naptimes are pretty strict time wise! Anyhow, back to progress today. First went up the window caps and …
I came home thursday to a pretty sight! They got the soffit along the whole peak all stripped, sanded and primed. Once I told them the heat gun goes faster than scraping they were all out there with the heatguns getting it done. Came out great. The moldings are all up/repaired so it looks original …
The crew was a little worried about how much work would come from repairing the shakes. We had hoped they were in good shape like the other two peaks but not so once we uncovered them, the bottom row was gone completely. Seems like things are going faster than anticipated in repairs though. They were …
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. Today it felt like …
I wanted to get the base board stripped down so the crew would paint it this week along with the rest. They would have scraped it but not taken all the paint off. That’s fine for up high stuff but for something down at eye level I prefer it to be stripped down completely. So …
I was worried today was going to be another bust do to rain however the rain stopped at 7am and it quickly turned into a sunny day! Today they got the back wall sided all the way up and then primed the soffit and casings/frieze board. The plan next week is as follows: Monday – …
Well the bumpout panels are all installed and primed (tinted primer). A good amount of work for the morning and just in time for some more rain – yup – raining again. Also done today, they got the copper installed over the kitchen window and the caps and frieze board installed over the 2 vinyl …
