Nevertheless — progress. I can now state that the foundation of the house is as stable, level, and rot-free as it’s ever going to get. Additions to the understructure have been done with ground-contact treated materials. Dubious portions of the periphery that couldn’t be fully corrected with new wood have been bug sprayed and preservative treated to the max. Whew.<\/p>\n
There’s still more to do on the current phase of The Great Foundation and Screen Porch Project. Next up: floor repair and swapping out a tiny frosted window for the bigger one previously pulled out of the bedroom. Then putting back the siding on the east wall. That’s ongoing this week.<\/p>\n
Then after a break comes framing the screen porch (whoohoo!) and siding currently exposed west and north walls. Pix will come along as I get them.<\/p>\n
Gonna be a busy summer. Thank you all who helped make it possible, especially S and D.<\/p>\n
