California is on fire, and we're under a red flag warning with chances of dry lightning for the next day and a half. Yesterday I mowed, raked, removed dead leaves, and tried to fire proof our front yard as Ian removed the failed attempt of a deck stair left by our old contractor.
I also rummaged through a pile of material left in the back yard by the old contractor to find the concrete board trim that they purchased for the first phase of our siding project. They decided not to use it, because I think it was harder to work with that regular wood. It's much longer lasting though, so even after several years of being ignored outside I was able to scrub them down yesterday, and prime them today. As I was prepping the boards, Ian installed a ceiling fan in our "pain cave."
The boards look good with a coat of primer. I'm impressed how well they cleaned up.
And Ian shifted gears to installing a towel rod.
