Home Renovation Project: Back Patio Deck: Soffit Cedar Install Delayed
Baxton started installing the cedar soffit material today. He installed about 5 or 6 rows of the material and then decided to test the integrity of the waterproofing at the deck edges. Sure enough, there were leaks... pretty big ones... on either side of the deck. So the tile on the edges (and on the curb) will need to be ripped up, the waterproofing redone, and then re-installed. Baxton can't continue with the framing until the deck is water tight.

So, uh, that sucks.

Instead of installing the soffit material, Baxton formed out the patio extension we decided to have him do yesterday. We are widening the deck by about a foot on either side and another foot in depth. This will align the edges of the patio with the outside edges of the column posts... which are going to be built out for the benefit of hiding the drain pipes. Also, Baxton will pour the new step tomorrow as well.
