Yes, the painting continues, but now I need to do repairs before the final push where I power spray the large flat areas. Today I ripped off the old scuzzy siding on the side of the chimney that was moisture damaged and replaced it. I also had to replace the trim and some of the soffit. That’s the stuff in the red circle. Tomorrow I’ll be putting the remaining trim back on, caulking edges and maybe painting it. I also need to add some flashing near the chimney on the roof to direct rain water run-off away from the siding so that it doesn’t happen again. Moral: Don’t ever try to block water, only redirect it. Nevertheless, it’s getting there…
