it's an irksome task if you'd rather procrastinate by pumping gunky brown water out of a cistern. (the first 150 gallons of rain catchment was tainted by residue from when i demossified the woodshop roof.) at long last i found a use for that lonesome sawhorse i got at goodwill--clamped a short garden hose to it so discharge shot past the entry area, a beguiling braid of liquid gold, it generated a mountain of foam. fun! but then i had to spend rest of the day waterproofing and flashing the legacy leaks on north side of the house. finally finished at dusk. now all that's left is to cut, paint, and hang fresh trim from salvaged cedar fenceboards and re-install the carefully removed siding. but that's just icing on the cake. the biggest move lately was getting the porch lights wired, fulfilling one of the only design aspirations i had: red and green bulbs for a nautical touch. if this house were a boat, it would be the Ship of Theseus, replaced bit by bit. |
