The photos below are from Wednesday, October 30, 2024 when we completed all trim painting on the front and rear porches, painted the rear entrance door (note this door will need some bonding putty work), scrubbed all metal flashing and vinyl ceiling pieces on the rear porch, installed door jam weather strips on the front door, adjusted the dead bolt on the front door, sanded the front door jam for clearance as it was rubbing badly and examined the windows that had poor sash clearance.
