This is an example of the series of steps necessary to make these corrugated panels fit the house and anything that extrudes from it, such as the septic pipe. I had about an hour's warning that they were going to have to take the pipe apart in order to put that panel in place. Yikes, I didn't know what to expect. First they prepared the panel with two rough holes for the two openings.
Then Danny used his tin snips to make the rough cut perfect...every opening has to be finished by hand.
Then Jose and Danny took the septic pipe apart...and no chance for me to shout SHIT! It was pretty clean.
And finally they fitted the panel over the pipe...perfectly. No leaks either! The bottom layer of the front of the house is now sided. More worked also commenced with the metal trim around the windows going back on and new stuff being added...it was a very satisfying day.
Finishes are going up! Starting to get VERY excited!
ReplyDeleteAnd if Todd arrives, we will have more finishes done inside. The mahogany came today, and the bullnose for the dining room is almost here...it is half done. If only we can get rid of the ants that moved in out there! Yikes.
ReplyDeleteHow do you trim this siding? I'm going to be in Ukiah next week. I'm hoping there might be a good day to come by and check it out. I have an appointment to show the house on Sunday. After that, I think I can spare some time to drive over. I need to bring Auntie Jan some photos and the Telonicher boys scrapbook. Maybe we three could have lunch too?
ReplyDeleteLove watching the progress!
