Ah, the house can breathe again! Getting rid of the scaffolding feels like getting a cast removed. The house did not necessarily feel shackled or trapped to me, although the scaffolding certainly restricted movement around the outside... but now that it's gone, what once felt "normal" now feels like wide open space. The sky is visible from anywhere you stand outside! If you take that for granted, wrap your home or work in scaffolding for 10 months.
With the scaffolding, our view of the stucco and roofing was mostly myopic, getting a close-up view of every inch of it, but only being able to see what's right near you, both due to the scaffolding everywhere.
Without the scaffolding, the big picture is suddenly in better focus, but I find myself squinting up at window recesses, wondering "does that need another touch-up or is it just a shadow?" To find out I'll need a really tall ladder. Or go upstairs and lean out a window.
Other news: the mini-split for the garage apartment is all hooked up and ready to go, except for the power cable, which Danny might take care of this afternoon. |
