First runs of siding!

With the weather being much cooler than it was in July and August, Nathan has moved outside.  He has wrapped the lower half of the house in chicken wire preparing it for the stucco.  While he had all the scaffolding in place for that, he decide just to get that wall done.  With this, the first few runs of siding have gone up! 

The stucco and the siding will be the same color.  It offers a different texture and will make the house appear smaller.  This will give a the tall house the look of a reduced size - more in line with the houses on our end of the street.

There will be a band of trim about midway up the house (under the 2nd floor windows).  Above the band will be the siding, below the trim will be stucco.  In the gable ends of the roof, we will do stucco again.  This is cheaper than doing the siding as we won't have many ends of boards that are wasted.

You can now also see the full color scheme for the house.  Can't wait to keep seeing that blue to disappear!  Pretty exciting stuff!

First runs of siding!

Won't have to move the scaffolding to finish this wall.

Added later:  By the end of the next day, Nathan had this whole top section done!  YAhoo!!!
