We built the tower today.
We have the base platform mostly finished. Time to start some demo.
I started pulling off the siding and trim on the west side of the
house. I also removed the window, and built a temporary plug for the
opening.
In an effort to keep the debris from taking over, we reduced it to a
small pile in the garage.
Today we built the middle platform. Some of the parts had been saved
from last year, but had to be slightly modified. So it has taken a
lot less actual working time to get this far compared to last year.
Maybe by tomorrow afternoon we will have the third level of the
scaffold built and the rest of the siding and trim removed.
Today we set up the top platform, pulled the rest of the old siding
and trim off, and reframed the window opening for the new window.
The house wrap is tacked up and I've also been painting the window.
If the weather is good tomorrow, maybe we will be able to install it.
It's kind of hard to see in the exterior shot, but we have the window
installed. We also have the top three siding panels up. Trim at the
top is next, then we will work our way down, same as
last year
on the other side of the house.
We seemed a bit short on motivation today, but did manage to get the
top trim boards installed.
We haven't had time to finish the second bathroom project properly,
but we are having a visitor for a few days, so we needed to do
something. We put the old vanity and sink back in place and installed
a new toilet and the room is again in a semi-funcional state.
