Left Side of the house
We're opening up the 2nd floor windows and removing all the insulation so the walls can air out (God willing, we're not supposed to get any rain for the rest of the week!). We're also reinsulating and closing up the area under the porch. The laundry room window (to the left of the porch) is closed up, as is the family room (not visible in this picture).
Everything under the black tarps on the right side of this picture is not done yet. In fact, the window above the bilco doors was leaking quite a bit during the last rain - my husband and I were out in the freezing cold pouring rain at 11pm (did I mention the 40-mph winds?) stapling felt paper up over the tarps in an attempt to stop the leak. We finally resorted to the "wrap the 2nd floor window sill in a plastic garbage bag technique," which worked great. You can see that it's still there. I can't wait til we have real flashing....
