SEPT. 9 UPDATE: Putting on the siding

The construction crew arrived yesterday morning to put siding on our house, and to reshingle the old farm house.

Here's how far they got on our house:


Dave thought this was darker than the color I'd picked out, and was worried they were putting on the wrong siding for a bit. No, that's the right color, Cobble Stone. I think it will look nice against the white trim.


They did the trim around the door and the big windows, though it blends in with the Tyvek in this picture.

Today they didn't get much farther on our house, except Dave did use their lift to paint the eaves. They were working on reshingling the farm house, and that is taking a while. They are also removing an old chimney that no longer has a purpose, and they had to figure out how to reach the roof, since their lift couldn't get around the old septic tanks in the backyard. They eventually borrowed our scaffolding to get up where they needed to be.

Tomorrow rain is expected ... not sure how far they'll get in that!
