Not much new to report from 83 Durant. We've been busy with non-83-Durant work, sadly. We did get an estimate on replacing the back flat roof with a white rubber roof, which offers both improved durability and energy efficiency. They will also take care of the front door overhang and the rotten soffit/fascia boards (the ones that are invitations to every critter in the world to come live in our house). We'll probably be getting this job underway in the next month or so. We also got an estimate on getting drywall installed in the spare bedroom. Jake and I are going to do the demolition ourselves, which will include ripping out the horse-hair plaster and lathes, and then installing new insulation. We'll get the professionals to install drywall. This project will probaby wait until after school is over. Should be good and messy, but also exciting to see what's behind those walls!
It's pouring rain in Lowell, so we're glad we made a quick window-well cover yesterday. I bought a big piece of plexiglass yesterday. We'll eventually reinforce it with a wood frame (I think) and we still have to do some brickwork around the well, but for now, it's keeping the rain out quite nicely!
