Today - Porch Scratch - A new project.

Next -
Decide on stone for sills. and go get it.
Second scratch either way.

I think the weather should be good tomorrow but looks iffy for Friday.

I also remounted the disconnect box for the compressor on the chimney and cleaned the gutters and helped Craig and Kevin.

Here's the porch project:
This is type S mortar mix with some white cement added.

I nailed the mesh in more along the base to make it more solid. I hope it doesn't introduce leaks from behind the nail holes. I'll need to caulk between the windows and the Azek sills.
I put up some tyvek to keep drips off the side near the bushes.
Scratch coat 1 going on.




Well, I need to decide how I want to proceed on this project as they are going to be taking stuff away. It was a rainy day for most of the day but Craig put a scratch coat on the porch. No clean up as it was hard to tell where cement film is on the roof and I'm not crazy about guys being on wet roofs anyway.
Here's today's progress.

I need to decide on stone sills.
