Okay, for some reason the laptop doesn’t want to connect to the hotspot right now, so no pics this afternoon. Which means I can lie like a rug about my progress!!!
But I won’t, because you’d know better. The weather cleared up and then it turned into one of those gloriously beautiful days we get here sometimes, so I got a late start but did accomplish a few things before my back started singing to me. The addition’s new gutter is in two pieces still but otherwise completely assembled, primed, and has two coats of paint – it is in fact ready to install. But I didn’t get so far on painting all that raw wood on the drip edge. 7/12 of it has a first coat but it turned out I should have lowered the scaffold just about two clicks more because it really got me in the back. I had hoped to finish the first coat today but I know when to stop. Also by then the sun was starting to beat on that wall, and it’s never healthy to work right where the sun is doing that.
Tomorrow is supposed to be just as nice but warmer, so I’m going to get an earlier start and really hit the wood painting. Already reset the scaffold, so I should be able to finish the west side trim and maybe even get the gutter up safely.
ETA: Laptop decided to connect.
Got yer downspout components ready to go?
Mostly. Almost. Not quite. The downspout itself is handled but I need a couple of clamps for the wall and a 4″ ABS elbow. Should be able to get those things at the hardware on Monday.
Except for the tar paper .. it’s a Castle in the Sky!
Gonna pipe the downspout water over to the “ditch” by the woodshed?
Yup. I have the pipe and the downspout and even a bit of cement to connect them. Just need one fitting and a couple of clamps.
