Porch Work

It took us a while to get to it but we had a productive day.

We worked on the porch from noon until four. Susan sanded the wood putty area she did last week and then continued puttying the other half of the porch.

I dealt with Round Two of the caulking. I am filling such a large gap, and the caulk shrinks so much, I may have to engage in a Round Three.

We have a couple of spots where the wood decking appears to have rotted away and requires filling with wood. I used the strips of hemlock that I cut off the bottom of the TV Room baseboard to fill the gaps. I dry fitted them into place and then spread some wood glue on them and slid them back in the gap. I made them ride a little proud so we can sand them flush.
