Scary Scaffolds


They're here. All the scaffolds. It sucks to get around them - so we just have to enjoy them.

Here's a photo from one of my early forays up onto the 2x boards.

How the heck do people work on these?!

The purpose of this visit was to check on the window flashing. Nowadays, the standard is to put up these bitumen sticky strips around windows to keep water from seeping inside. It seems to works. However, this kind of flashing doesn't like to be left alone without the rest of the finishes - like stucco or siding. So what tends to happen - as I found out - is that the flashing droops or falls off the initial placement.
