Progress on the house has been slow this week. No one feels like working in this heat, so the guys go home early every day and take lots of days off.
The small developments:
Ronnie completed the last high angled shingling today, so the house looks better when you drive by.

Steve has been torching-on the deck waterproofing in preparation for the concrete pour (studio floor and decks) possibly Tuesday.

I have been mostly painting. One little job I’m particularly proud of is this vintage bathtub, another CraigsList find:
This side must have been placed against the wall in its last incarnation
orange and turquoise from the 60s, I'm guessing
I collected a photo of what I’d like it to look like.
This is a photo I found in a magazine
And then I painted it in a pretty good copy of the photo (I haven’t picked the flowers to put inside the bathtub yet.)
You can tell the colour change is intentional, right?
I’m chuffed about that.

Gail the bath tub looks amazing! Great find.
Alice is upset that she won’t be there for the concrete pour
Next time!
My god, Steve’s face looks red!! I think that torching on roofing in a heatwave must be something like Dante’s 7th ring of hell. There’s a guy who’s earned every buck he’s paid.
