It’s been pretty slow going for the last 3 weekends. The more I think I’m getting somewhere the more I run into little details that suck up the day. This is turning out to be less of a construction job and more of a restoration. Like, I just can’t frame something up. I have to spend and hour first pulling nails and carefully pulling rotten studs. I still have a chunk of the old electrical that has to be pulled. It’s in metal conduit so that’ll have to be pulled and totally rewired. It’s seeming pretty endless but each weekend I just do a little more.

Last weekend I stuccoed the outside and tried to seal up the roof which had a small leak. the huge storm had soaked the inside. There’s another storm on the way this week so we’ll see if I’m leak proof soon.

I fixed this. The building got a little trashed as I tried to get some of the old crappy board off. Should now be water tight.

I painted some roofing paint over all the screws and washers that is now holding the stucco on.

The cleaned up box. I still have to add some of the breaker back in. Everything was a mess. People had patched patches on top of patches—and then hacked in a few things on top of that. I’m just tearing it all out and doing it again.

It’s a good thing I know what I’m doing. Og wait, I don’t. Or, do I?
