8.27.2019

Jim put up the first piece of side corner flashing on today.  He needed that in position to be sure of dimensions for the other pieces.


He also cut the trim board for the soffit and then had to use his hole saw to cut holes for the new vent pieces he got for this application.


The vents just snap into the trim board so it's a nice application.


However, they were brown and Jim was afraid to paint them and clog the vent or screen, so he used spray paint - they look great!


Making more trim pieces and priming the edges...


A coat of gray...


Making the pieces of flashing that will go next to the trim boards for more protection before siding.


Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow afternoon so Jim used some Zip tape to cover over the peak and the edges to help prevent any water from coming in.


Putting up the first window trim...


Window trim/flashing and side corner trim/flashing all done!  Jim decided he wanted the front corner flashing to go down farther over the copper, so he's going to remake those pieces.


I spent some time cleaning up the cab of the box truck today.  It's working great - no smoking - so Jim took some pictures and is going to start working on getting it listed.

Mom with my brother, Brian, on her 86th birthday!
Wishing my mom a very happy birthday today!  We love you!
