Today, being Sunday meant that this was mostly a day off but it was sunny, the temperature perfect and there was no one around to bother me while I did a little job that no one else could do. I decided I would spend some time up on the roof painting the facia, soffits and wall panels of the front dormers. It was a tricky job as the roof is a 10/12 pitch and the space is tight as the two roofs meet. The hard part is to cling to the roof as you reach into the tight areas all manner of contorted positions. It was an interesting way to spend an afternoon. I even managed to paint the necessary areas without getting any paint on the shiney new roof.
Next up I'll begin routing the trim which should be ready to install about the same time as the windows are installed. The painted dormers bring the house one step closer to done.
Tomorrow, the Element Spray Foam crew starts in on the ceiling insulation. Pretty soon we'll switch our efforts to the inside of the house. I can hardly wait!
