Siding, siding, siding


Work has been moving onward and outward since the last post. We finished fixing the drywall on the inside and installed it in the cistern room along with insulation and bug screen behind it. The windows were finished out with the gypsum returns and all the rest of the drywall was taped and mud. The window to the right of the double Anderson doors was lowered 3/4" to allow for the gypsum return on the outside soffit. We also installed the shutter door in the dormer... twice, but for a good reason so that the siding would be even on both sides.

Siding, that has been the focus lately. Whenever there is a break in the weather we are outside measuring, cutting, spacing, and nailing it up. It has been a smooth process, so far, with a good rhythm once started. The east side is about halfway finished, with the help of Mark, as well as the west side. The dormer wall was finished over the weekend so the process should pick up for the rest of the west facade. The front was finished once we installed the final custom piece that had to be primed.

Soon the tiling and hardwood floors installation will begin and will make it easier to have more people on site working, with some inside and some outside, if the weather holds up.

  1. I hope the weather does hold up until you can finish the siding and all. The rain can get pretty gloomy when you're busy with your home, no? Here's to good weather and things getting done quickly and efficiently! From the sound of things, progress is going quite well!
