Thursday and Friday work pushed ahead on three fronts. On Gordon Street both the inside and outside areas made great progress. Caulk, paint and plumbing tasks continued on the inside; the front and side porches are nearing the completion point. Pressure treated wood was used throughout, and the sculpted handrails and rounded spindles give them an attractive appearance.
On Tchoupitoulas we finished the roof Friday afternoon when the ridge caps were added. Two vents were installed to take hot air out of the attic. The entry way and side shed roofs were also completed as well. Fortunately this all took place about two hours before the heavens opened and about 4 inches of rain fell!
On Eagle Street most of the tearing outs and removing of old materials was finished. The first steps in the rebuilding were taken, beginning with the outside area around the bay window on the side of the house. Next week we tackle the center and supporting joists of the floor.
