Back from my high school reunion and visiting my sister, we had a late start. We got the two 2×6 fascia boards installed.

Rain Garden
I finished digging out our rain garden along the street and then it rained. It washed out part of the barrier along the street and filled completely. Lipstick plant is planted in a back corner.
It was too deep so, after it drained, I added fill and rocks along the street.
Surprise Flowers from Neighbor
A neighbor (from across the street) surprised us with this lovely pot of flowers! She expressed appreciation for the work we were doing, knew we had many delays from rain and hoped that we would get our painting done before it rained again (I did get the painting done!) She said she hoped it would brighten our day for us! So kind and thoughtful! It definitely did brighten our day!
Getting Ready for Sheathing
Rain has delayed us many times. We are almost ready to put on the sheathing but took a break for my high school reunion and a visit to my sister and brother-in-law. The 2×4 overhangs and 2×4 side fascia are painted and installed. The 2×6 gable fascias are painted and ready for installation.
Grooving
The 1900 house was built with boards on the roof instead of OSB or plywood and the lines of joining show below the exterior exposed truss extensions. We wanted that look for the garage so Steven routed ‘grooves’ in sheets of plywood to give the look of boards in the exposed soffit area. He routed 11 sheets of 4 X 8 plywood.
