Tearing off the Tyvek. We are leaving the Tyvek on that is around inside window opening. | An example of excellent workmanship is this window flashing by the
carpenters that trimmed the windows. Note how the side
is neatly folded to cover the side, and whole top member of moulding is cover. Also, the flashing is angled slightly high in back for good water run-off. |
A plastic tent and heaters allow work to proceed during sub-freezing
temperatures.
Taking the tent down also makes a dramatic unveiling. |
