Finished the soffit and fascia, another 90*F+ day with showers. The showers felt good till the sun came back out and it felt like a sauna. We completed some painting and more yard work. We had the yard rather nice before they had a fire on mother's day last year and were out of the house till Thanksgiving. They have some strange laws down here. Since his home is in the new federal maps as a flood zone, (never has happened), my dad is only allowed to spend 20% of the home's value in restoration cost in a 12 month peroid. So much of the exterior work waits for the next round of permits, or I get back with more tools and equipment. If he were closer my son's and I could have completed the work in 2 months and billed only material cost. Catch 22 at it's finest.
Sorry for venting. Ric
