Well, we’re up to an even dozen mice captured and deported so far this year.  Do you think Delores has a furry-friend fetish?  Ian and Perry continued putting on soffits, fascias, and feature strips, making much better progress today.  Half the soffit is up plus all the fascias and feature strips on the south walls, the east wall of the Sun Room, and 16 feet of the west wall.  I cleaned up / picked up all morning in anticipation of heavy rain tonight and tomorrow.  We also applied Zip tape along the seam between the roof sheathing and the fascias / feature strips to keep said rain from getting behind those trim pieces and causing all sorts of hate and discontent.  In the afternoon I caulked and applied a second coat of paint to the installed soffits, and also passed the paint roller over the fascias and feature strips.
