Today we finished final painting and sealing on the North East wall, from the ground to the attic gable. It came out quite well. We finished, took down the scaffolding, and then the rain started. On 21 July the scaffolding was up and we were tearing out the old kitchen windows. We took off the vinyl siding and styrofoam insulation, and then tore off the tar paper. Underneath, as we expected, there was some rotten sheathing--below the bathroom and kitchen windows. This is how it looked back in July. One month and one week later we're done. The Maibec siding was fairly easy to work with. We changed out the rather clumsily installed plastic vent hood with a new aluminum model. I used the metal brake to fabricate a fairing for it, so I could seal it in around the clapboard. Because the new attic window was considerably larger, I designed a new external header for it, with the corbels beside instead of above the window. Well there. That's done.
