Wednesday brought more exterior siding work. Most of the back elevation and the west side elevation were sided today. The water damaged sheathing and studs at the chimney turned out to be less damage than original anticipated which is good news. However, the mason was on site and we learned that the chimney is in rough shape being out of plumb and severely deteriorated in a few locations. Plan is to remove an additional three feet and replace and repoint the mortar as needed below. I suppose not so bad for a chimney that had no flashing for, oh, guessing 25 years.
The front porch framing began today. The porch floor framing is in and the porch roof framing is in progress. Lower carrying beam and posts should be going in today. Porch dimensions feel good and should be a nice place for a Limerita and a High Life.
