Perry and I finished installing the soffits, then put two coats of latex enamel satin finish paint on the fascias, feature strips, and the soffits.  The first two could be done standing up; the soffits had to be done lying down, scooting along on your back after every two feet was painted, which sounds a lot easier than it was. Tammy Walsh came over to give me her invoice for guiding the car turnaround area retaining wall construction.  First bill I’ve gotten in months that was less than I had estimated.  Unfortunately, the difference between estimate and actual isn’t going to keep me out of debtor’s prison, but it was a nice surprise anyway.  After the painting was done, Perry and I applied 30# felt to the entire roof area, effectively waterproofing it (and the building beneath) forevermore.
