OK, ok, really bad phonetic pun, but I couldn’t resist. We have a little over half of the house sided now and we’re truly excited about how it looks. The siding is fiber-cement, and should be pretty much maintenance-free and fireproof.
I did all sides of the house where it had a deck. I will have to put up the remaining siding from a ladder.
First, we put on the house wrap:
This shows a view from the deck:
Here’s a view from the pasture:
We have to still put up railing around the deck, but that will come later.
The weather is getting colder, so I have fewer hours in the day where I can get out and work. Oh well, I work outside when I can. In bad weather, I’ll be able to work on the inside putting up interior walls, roughing in plumbing and electrical, etc.
We’re really amazed at the progress to date. Not bad for a couple of amateurs.
- Note from Laurie: Last night Tim called some neighbors to ask a question, and when the wife handed the phone over to the husband, we heard her say, “It’s the round house people!” I guess that’s how we’ll be known around here! By the way, I think Tim does great work, eh?
