The old rear deck joists were just nailed to the floor joists in the house with no proper ledger. This of course allowed water to get in back there. This was expected. Fortunately it was only the sheathing with was rotten. The studs were solid.
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.
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.
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.
