Jim worked on more insulation this morning in the wood shop...
Then continued working on the living room wall...
At lunchtime, he went to the plumbing supply company. He got some duct work he was looking for to use for the dryer, but they didn't have the quality vent for the outside that he was looking for. He'll have to order that online.
It was a very strange weather afternoon. Mid-afternoon, we were surrounded by thunder and kept getting weather alerts on the phone, but the mountains kept everything from us except for a couple sprinkles.
With the scaffolding moved over, Jim started working on the side of the roof...
He had to come up with a diverter for the flashing - he experimented with the aluminum before making it in copper...
Trying it out...
Happy with the fit, it was time to solder the joints...
And then attach it...
Jim needed half pieces of siding to start rows - after he cuts the shingle, he distresses the edges a bit.
Putting up the step flashing...
Making good progress...
Jim had some pieces of step flashing already made, but he had to make some more.
Putting up the last piece...
We got the hip shingles out but about this time it sounded like the thunder was getting even closer. Being up on a metal platform is not a good idea, so we called it a day on the outside work - although it never really rained!
So Jim went back upstairs and started working on more insulation in the living room.
At the very top of these cavities, where the box beam is, there's a little gap so Jim fills that area in with some fiberglass...
Then he puts the more dense fiberglass on top because it backs up to the attic space.
