Part 3/9:
After dealing with animal antics, the focus shifts to preparations for ongoing home improvement projects. The narrator plans to paint a tricky area located under the roof eaves, specifically targeting a section beneath T11. The strategy includes removing a few manageable screws, pulling back a piece of siding, and moving to the screen porch to stand on a ladder—since reaching from the ground is impractical.
The goal is to prep this area for painting, ensuring it’s properly sealed and protected from future water intrusion. Silicone caulk is applied along the flashing and seams, aiming to prevent leaks and weather damage. This minor patch-up, though simple in concept, is essential to keep water out and avoid larger problems down the line.
