In this episode, we try to keep moving anyway. First, I work on solving one of the bigger water management problems behind the house by digging drainage trenches for the gutters and trying to get roof water away from the foundation before another storm rolls in. Then, once we finally get a small break in the weather, we get back to siding and work on finishing the last big section of the exterior — including the lap siding detail that we’re hoping will give the front of the house a warm wood look without the maintenance of real cedar. It’s not the fastest week of progress, but even with the rain slowing us down, the outside of the house is getting very close to being finished. Huge thanks to the crew who helped make this happen — links to everyone involved below.
