Bougainvillea throws a thrilling punch

Bougainvillea throws a thrilling punch of hot pink around the neighborhood, and landed a knock-out punch on the cheek of our property.  

Today, handyman Lloyd came over to repair the siding. Lloyd's mission was to remove the wood damaged by bougainvillea and the resulting water intrusion.  

He found a few matching boards that the previous owners had stacked in the garage, and bought water proof membrane to complete the task. Lloyd cut away the old tar paper, removed the damaged planks, along with the copper flashing at the junction of the roof with the house. Then Lloyd set about making it all tight and weather proof again.
