It has to go
-
If you look at the picture of the side of the house you can see they bolted the ledger boards through the siding and in to the plywood sheathing. Not the framing, the sheathing.
No need to take the bolts out, the boards just pulled off with a little tug. Iām amazed the whole thing didnāt fall down.
Rot never sleeps.
@Steve-Miller said in It has to go:
Rot never sleeps.
This sounds like a great slogan for a TV ad or something!
Hope everything went well yesterday!

Everything went fine yesterday. Forecast is for 2 days of rain so it may not be finished this week, but at least it wonāt be leaking.

What are you going to do with the sliding door? Are you going to put a deck back up? I like the color scheme.
The repurposed wood pieces I panted are to build a railing to create a āJuliette balconyā at the front of the little porch in front of the sliding door. Itās the only place in the house where you can see the lake.
Deck will not be reinstalled.

Finally finished and Iām really happy with it.
Pat the painter is wildly unreliable but does beautiful work.

Wow @Steve-Miller. Looks fabulous! Including the serviceberry turning colors for the fall.

You know those berries it gets in early summer are very edible. Bit reminiscent of a blueberry, but with bigger seeds.

Serviceberry, eh? Iāve wondered what it was.
-
I think it flowered white but Iām not sure. Iāll check this spring.
Prolly out to prune it a bit over the winter. Itās crowding the space.
