Trim Time

Thursday night was full of Trim. And Thrilled Trim helpers.

(Jason was picking on me taking my picture instead of getting to work!)
And Tedious Trim clipping

And Trim Turning
(after cutting the trim to the correct length, Jason used these fancy flat pliers (these probably have a fancy name...) to bend and fold the metal over.)

And Trim Tapping

(Jason used a rubber mallet to get it just right.)

Next, came rock Trimming on the back of the house.
We also had a Trim lesson. Professor Jason explained that this trim actually serves more of a purpose than meets the eye. When the rock is put on, it will go up to the trim instead of the soffet. This keeps the mortar in a solid line instead of going up in the soffet creases, which makes the mortar more likely to crack and fall out.

A short Trim break...our first tomato!

Last Trim project. Rock Trim on the far end wall of the house. (Rock will go below the trim and green tin will go above.)

Thursday night's Trim Time was Trim-endous fun! Tonight we are taking a break and going to the lake. Feels good to leave things in great shape to have a productive (LONG!) weekend. Hope you all have a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend.
