The painter dude also started this week, first putting a scratch coat on the walls, then spray painting the doors -- leaving rather entertaining marks.

Even though the roofers encountered some problems along the way, it is good that they delivered the kind of quality work you’d expect from them. You now that they did a great job when rain fails hard on your roof, and you don’t see a single sign of leakage anywhere. Anyway, how is the roof now? Just make sure to do maintenance on it every once in a while to avoid having those kinds of problems in the future.
It was kind of a bad news that rain poured before the eavestrough was installed, but I assume that issue’s been resolved. I particularly like the color of the roof; its combination with the sidings gives the house a cabin-esque appearance. Oh, are you planning to renovate the sidings on the attic? Squirrels aren’t your only problem, when they wear out in the future. Anyway, congrats on the new roof!
All has been fine since the roof and eavestrough got finished. We fixed the siding up on the attic, putting proper boards behind it. No, we just have to make sure the squirrels, martens and other critters we have stay out of it.
Let me join the discussion, Ryder. :) Regarding the attic, I think it is fine the way it is because its position is not that exposed to trees (that’s judging from the pictures). What I would like to focus on is the skylight. I reckon that the skylights are concentrated on the right portion of the house. Have you considered placing them on the different areas of the house?
The skylights were there when we bought the place. I wouldn't have put them in; notorious for leaks, and it took the roofer dudes 2 solid days to flash them properly. In fact at least one of them showed evidence that it was the source of one of the two roof leaks I mentioned in an earlier post.
I wouldn't move them to different places in the house. I thought about taking them out altogether, but the interior of the room features a cedar vaulted ceiling. Removing the skylights would leave holes that would be virtually impossible to fix.
Nonetheless, everything is fixed now.
Thanks for your questions!
Hm, I think your skylights gave you more worries than advantages. Anyway, I’m glad everything’s fixed now, and that there are no more leaks caused by the skylights. The only thing for you to do now is to inspect your roof every now and then, so you can immediately spot any small damage, before it even gets worse and expensive to repair.
