I'm having the same thing done next week. After this winter, it looks like a bomb went off under my front steps.

Yeah we have a Dutch Colonial 100 yrs old . It has some very fancy millwork and supporting arches done on a barrel vault style entry roof on the main entry of the house . Its original and architecturally unique to the Dutch Colonial design.and the Queen wants it replicated for authenticity.

It has been a problem for years and i could not find a carpenter willing to take it on for yrs

Even tho it has been re-roofed and supposedly repaired several times, the design has failed to be water tight because the barrel vault roof design has two flat sections on either side of the arch . And that area was the source of the difficulty .So it has rotted and also has some infestation .

So today it was ripped out down to the "good Wood", detoxed :D for ants and the superstructure millwork will be created tomorrow in the shop and the first dry day the entire structure will be re- crafted .D

So the good news after todays session is the rot and infestation has not affected the house proper or any of the exterior walls - just the damn barrel vault roof and its millwork .

We have tarped the remainder of whats left of the original "good superstructure " and will wait several days for the damn rain to pass to finish it .

I"ll be glad to have this done

Working (bored). Need to get started typing my weekly tps report, but I'm procrastinating... Probably get small and go for another hike after work.

Good flick.

I was surprised when I saw it that it was filmed in Lowell... (where I live). pretty neat to be watching it and recognize all the places in the movie.

While we're whining....

I've been in metro-Philly at one Comcast building or-other 3 or 4 days every week since November 1. Since March 1, it's mostly been some hell hole called Downingtown, PA. We have engineers in from all over the world to help troubleshoot the last hard-to-find bugs. Intel / Israel is here this week along with an engineer from Taiwan.

At least I moved out of Killington last Saturday so my airport drive drops from 2 hours to 40 minutes.
