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 …
Well the bumpout is going very smoothly so far. They got the panels all boxed out, the MDO all cut to approx size and pre-primed. They have to fussy cut the MDO to install it next but I’m impressed by one day of progress. The goal is to get this part of the bumpout finished, …
Tuesday got rained out again but Monday the rain held off so they were able to get our bedroom windows all installed and a good start on scraping down the soffit over the backside. Now the inside work is done, they are starting on panels on the bumpout today. At the pace they are going …
We got a little work done on the kitchen this weekend, mostly Saturday during naps (since she takes 2 2 hour naps on Saturdays generally). First I cut out the hole for the microwave to go, and then wired up the outlet. We need to get some trim to trim out the bare edge of …
