Month: October 2016

Today we went to Bauer Bros – a huge warehouse of old and older things. Endless radiators. Endless everything! We found a window for the kitchen – the last window we needed – and a possible replacement boiler. The shakes are finished on the north side and the front roof is almost finished. I want to see siding on the front!
Color on this picture is really off. I need to take a picture earlier in the day!

Day 16
We took much of the day off from Rose Cottage but the crew was there early to get work done ahead of the rain. All windows except for one are installed and have window membrane. The front fascia is on so tomorrow they can work on finishing the roof. Siding was installed on part of the back wall. The second floor was cleaned up. Three rows of shakes were installed but incorrectly. Not good. Steven explained to two of them how to do it but the third person installed them! Steven worked on getting the inside kitchen wall ready for a window. I worked on removing paint from the front dormer window on the second floor and then I painted it to match the other bronze windows.

I’ve been painting windows. Steven is working in the basement – disconnecting the water heater, the boiler, and the oil tank. The first 6 pieces of metal roofing went up today. Yaah!
