Wow - this whole living room wall is insulated!
More insulation in the bathroom too - it's very different not being able to see into the other room now!
This was a day for details with the siding - Jim is cutting the weird shaped piece to go around the flashing and overhang.
Making sure it fits. Then I primed it - Jim wants it to sit up really well since it is a key piece. We'll get it painted tomorrow morning.
Once Jim had the first piece figured out, he was able to figure out the next rows. I got these primed too and Jim will paint them in the morning.
This always makes me smile...Jim doesn't just go down the scaffolding, he swings down each time! Not sure where he gets his energy!
Next was putting up the hip shingles...
Pretty much everything that could be done on the right side is done so Jim made the copper flashing for the left side. It's different because it's so close to the edge of the overhang and trim.
The flashing needed to cool down so we moved to the next task - taking down the roof jacks on the roof by the dormer wall! Jim double-checked that all the painting was done and then he started removing roof jacks.
He's throwing down the planks as he takes them off (top middle of the picture)...
A big thumbs up to having this roof and wall section done!
While he was up on the scaffolding, he figured he would lower the side scaffolding down so that he could finish up some touch up painting. Not an easy job - he had to get the platform from the stairwell scaffolding and move all the heavy planks out of the way.
Moving the pieces down...
Whew...all done and putting the plank back on.
While he was working on the scaffolding, he decided to weld the pins into the top of the safety posts - he's been wanting to do that for awhile because the pins were kind of wobbly. It's so nice that he can just plug in the welder and do what he needs to!
End-of-the-day picture...clean roof and more roof shingles on the overhang!
