More siding, sanding, and the like. Sanding still kicks up a lot of dust. I brought two rotary sanders down here and both of them are not working now. I brought a flat one as well. Not quite as efficient, but it gets the job done. However, the only sandpaper I have that fit it is thin, high-grade stuff which does not cut through wall mud very well, so progress was a bit limited today on that front.

It is taking time, but progress is being made. Here is the front bedroom on Monday and Wednesday.

Next door, Dino and Dave are cutting siding and Kristin and Lorenzo are making sure it fits.

Ariel’s four-year-old daughter Alayah has been a constant presence, carrying stuff, retreiving dropped nails, and otherwise added a joyful presence to the worksite, but we cannot show you pictures of that.

A good amount of siding got cut and put up. Nicole and Kristin are cutting it and Dino and Dave putting it up.

Here the siding crew inspect their work at the end of a productive day.

You can tell work is being done by the amount of garbage being left behind.
