Well, we told him to do it. We won't fire him just yet.
The first of four skylights is now in! This one will go in what will eventually be the east bedroom upstairs.
Here's Walt working on the finishing touches to that skylight this afternoon.
Sofia and I went to look at the finished product later in the evening. There will be two more skylights on the south roof and one on the north. Otherwise, the upstairs would have remained quite dark, I think. The center skylight will allow light into the center dining area below, right behind those big windows.
She was pretty eager to get into "my house," as she calls it. Well, we call it Sofia's house, too. ... She does look awfully short next to that tall door, though she is standing one step down from the threshold.
Here's the view from the skylight. Hopefully we placed it well; it should give most people who use that room a nice view. (Walt took this and some of the other photos in this post -- no one is going to let me up on a ladder in this condition, so I can't get up to the second floor yet.)
Dave and Paavo worked on putting insulating foam on the north and west sides. They finished that job before supper.
Cutting the foam.
Reaching to get that top nail in.
The north side looked pretty nice by evening! We've got one more window hole to cut on this side, too. It's a small one that will be in the bathroom, in the northeast corner. The window we purchased to go here won't work, unfortunately -- but it's one we bought at the auction that cost us $20, so we're not out much. We'll get another locally.
Walt and Dave worked on putting Tyvek house wrap around the east and north sides until it got dark.
There were more lovely clouds and sky colors today. You can't argue that it's not beautiful here in the summer!
