Many things going on at once this week inside and outside the house!
We were so impressed with the exterior window moldings that were installed in just one day! These elaborate moldings give an instant European feel to our home. They are made of resin, so very resistant. The outdoor moldings will be painted white using a special weather-proof paint.
We noticed gaps between the moldings and wondered what would be done about these. The very next day, we saw that the moldings were being covered with blue protective tape, in preparation for the next step: caulking.
Caulking serves the purpose of sealing joints and filling in any gaps to protect from the rain or wind. Surprisingly (to me), caulk doesn't come in a tube! It has to be mixed on site:
Experienced workers came in to do this job:
The result:
Can't wait to see when the walls have been done with the exterior finish Jollipat and the moldings have been painted!
We're expecting a bit of a delay in the completion of the house due to the unavailability of certain exterior equipment. But we're getting there, one step at a time...
