More Siding

We've been spending most of our time at the house putting up more siding. We are about half way done with the siding and are getting much faster with it. Check out our progress . . .

This is Adam finishing up the siding on the far left gable end. This was the largest gable and took a lot of time because we were constantly moving ladders.

Adam is painting the trim around the window white. We successfully protected out shingles with plastic.

Here's the finished look.

Then, we started on the far right gable end. We rigged up a ladder (it was tied to Adam's truck in the backyard), so we wouldn't have to balance on a 10/12 pitch - it worked great! Adam is painting the flashing black, because our roofers didn't.

Here's the finished right gable end - caulked and painted. You can see Adam and his Dad starting on the hight right gable.

Here's the trim (most of it) up on the high right gable. We finished putting up the lap siding today - but I forgot to get a picture. You know, you get pretty tired balancing on a ladder on a roof all day. It's really coming along now and we're getting faster with it. We had to order special curved trim for the dormer windows - so that should be in in a couple weeks. Siding isn't so hard once you try it - and it's even rewarding when get can make a lot of progress each day.
