Dormers

I have been trying to make the house weather tight before winter gets here.

The dormers have holes in the sides from the old wooden siding has been falling apart. I had to figure out a way to work on them without renting a lift truck.

I do have a safety harness but was not wearing it for the light work.

I was able to finish one side. Will update tomorrow with the finished project.

Houseboat floor

Went to the boat this weekend so I could finish up the flooring on the front deck. I was down to all the hard cuts so I needed my bigger miter saw.

It took about 7 hours but we finally got the pieces cut and glued down. Kerry did most of the sanding and wiping down the pieces. I did the cutting, measuring, and glueing.

The newly cut pieces look like they are a different shade but they just need to fade like the others.

Weather tight

Took two days and the house is once again sealed against the weather.

I think it looks better. I will eventually get the new window in. I have to make the window. I want it to match the other old windows.

I finally got around to removing the French doors that used to open on to the deck.

It made a pretty big hole in the house.

I was able to get the opening closed up for the night. I will need to make it weather tight tomorrow.
