Chronicles of Nickerson - Christmas Scaffolding

We've got an entirely new kind of scaffolding on the house this time. I think we've seen them all now. This kind is more like the building toys our 4-year-old plays with. Everything snaps into place and all of the pieces are modular.

The first floor of the house has a huge all-glass door with very large windows on each floor directly above it. One side of the door is set onto the poured-in-place concrete wall. Whenever it rains, water runs down the concrete where it hits the door - on the inside of the house. The source has been elusive. This is the third time, that I can recall, that scaffolding has been set up to try to find it's source. Finally we found the culprit this week, a crack in the framing of the window above the door. Three's a charm I guess. Now what to do with that 8 foot by 8 foot window that intersects multiple stucco sections is the question. I'm sure whatever the agreed upon resolution, we'll get more scaffolding.

While it's here, at least we can get the bird prints off the outside of the windows.
