Exterior repairs

Beginnings of new railing next to back door.
 Ted, the contractor.
 Finished railing. Looks good!
Shim the carport where it had twisted free of the carport roof; caulk the big cracks in the post to protect against water entry.
 Molding replacement around the windows where it has rotted.


New shutters. Old shutter, pecked to death by birds, leaning against the house. It wasn't possible to exactly match the existing design, and you know what's funny about that? Turns out many of our shutters are mismatched, and we never noticed. So this is fine.
 New board to replace rotted one on the deck.
 Another new board.
Ted is continuing to work on the windows this afternoon. He'll be back tomorrow to hopefully seal the deck. It rained this morning, though, and if it rains again, we'll have to wait.

Painters are checking their calendar to figure out when they can come to pretty it all up.
