House Painting - Day 3 (Make it stop!)

Day 3 and still more wood is being replaced on the house. Lucky for me, they have run out of wood surfaces to replace. So I think we are done with the wood work. A good indication of this is that they are now masking all the windows with plastic sheeting.

Just about every window frame had one or more rotten boards.

Even some of the soffit work was rotten.

The beginning of the masking work. Looks really eerie from inside!

Some good news - the carpenter was able to repair the gable vents, which were custom made and would have been difficult to replace. The one on the right had been severely chewed up by critters. Unfortunately, he did not replace all the louvers (only the really bad ones). By the time I saw it, it was already sealed up. But it is functionally sound.
This is what it looked like before.
