You call that scaffolding??

We had a very busy weekend! One of the highlights today (?) was the start of our siding project. Jeff is a siding snob (yes, there is such a thing) so we are removing the vinyl siding and will either replace with all new, or try to salvage (that's the technical term - see post on our newly accredited LEED professional) what is underneath. Things got a little tense when Jeff was trying to convince me that working 15 feet above the ground on a wacky jerky herky (a technical term, coined by accredited wives in distress) was safe and sane. Note he said it was both safe AND sane. Any way, after he broke out the climbing equipment and roped up, I felt better and the neighbors stopped staring. We still have a ton of work to do! Stay tuned for some more paint trauma...

I took a photo just in case I had to explain it to the life insurance agent.

This little guy sporting his safety glasses cheered us on.

  2. the L&I instector would not be happy - I don't see any fall restraint.

  3. The only thing sane about that scaffolding contraption for jeff is saving the $100 it would cost to rent actual scaffolding.
