The tarps are off (almost)

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Pop and I were alone this weekend, as Mark had surgery on his hand on Thursday. We worked on getting some windows in place and putting up more plywood. The easy plywood has all been put up, so now the plywood attaching is difficult (sometimes scary).

(building the scaffolding was a mini project unto itself for me and Pop, something Kevin would have probably knocked out in 2.5 minutes) The tarps are almost off. I say that because the super heavy canvas tarps are still wadded up on the roof, but not covering anything. They are just so heavy I’ll wait and move them later. Since the tarps are not hiding the loft balcony anymore, I took a panorama shot of the south east side of the house. You can tell I took the pictures from right to left because I have fewer ‘missing’ areas on the right (east) side. Click on the picture below to bring up the full sized image (about 870k download).

Also, last week Pop worked on the corbels on the west side and I finished up the plywood on that side as well.

While looking for some house pictures on our camera, I came across these 2 pictures . I thought I would share the joy.
