Landscaping Started

Waiting for parts to show up so I can finish the laundry room plumbing, so I started on some landscaping. First was to remove a stucco "stub" that was on the side of the house. It had separated from the house and I could see dirt inside it. Never good to have dirt in contact with the walls.

Next, I'm laying out the plan for a raised planted bed, and access for the neighbor's RV and potentially an RV of my own.

Front Windows and Deck Ledger

Finally getting started on the front basement windows. Will also be installing the ledger for the front deck, so some extra demo of the stucco was required. My temporary vent cover stucco was a little harder to remove, so I haven't done it yet in these pictures.

Basement Bedroom Window

Finally getting the first new window installed in the basement bedroom. There was some wood rot under it, so I had to replace that wood, and update the sheathing. Ran out of sealing tape so it's only partly done in the last picture.

Revised Prototype

Playing with paint to make the bookshelf a little more dramatic and separate it more from the upper wall. Ignore the water stain, washing machine delivery. Looks good so far. If I continue to like it I'll make a more permanent shelf later when it's time to finish the house. I used scrap for this one, so the top will obviously go all the way to the far wall, and I'll integrate it with the bricks better.
