Leaky Windows 8 ft tall |
The carpenters cut away the EIFS and took out the windows on the first floor, replaced Tyvek, flashing and caulk. They installed the new windows and put an extra strip of flashing over the windows. They also took the door frame out, made sure the door would fit the new door frame, which is made out of PVC, and installed the door and new frame and installed flashing over the door. It now works without binding. Vincent was able to enlist the services of Wade to remedy the EIFS and caulk around the windows and doors.
New 6 ft tall Windows, Door, and slab |
We water tested with a hose, but have not had a decent rain, nor a Nor'easter, to check the weatherproofness of the windows.
The next step on this wall is a deck. We are awaiting availability of the carpentry crew - they are expected to be here before the end of September.
Meanwhile, we will be working indoors on the drywall and painting that could not be accomplished while the windows were leaking.
