The lower walkout level towards the lake has been sheeted. Margaret and I sepnt the weekend ripping down all of the old cedar and window trim.
Of course we had surprises when we pulled the cedar off. When Rob had installed 2 windows for us a few years ago, he sorrounded the windows with 3/4" sheathing. The rest of the wall is sheathed with 1/2". The 1/4" difference would have been obvious with the cement board.
The crew came and shimmed out the rest of the wall to make it even.
They then pulled the last 2 sliding glass doors out of the house. There were 8 when we moved in, now there are none. In their place are windows and new patio doors.
Just a little more trim and this side will be done.
