Siding Complete: Part 1

We started siding the house back in September.  We had some really hot days still, that made it preferable to work inside on the sheet rock, so it was never a "full-steam ahead" kind of job. Additionally, the time setting up scaffolding to get access to each section of the house took a fair bit of time.  Breaking it up kept the job interesting though...

With a couple of cold days, it became clear that although the siding could be done in the winter, the stucco really had to take priority.  We wrapped up the last of the stucco back at Thanksgiving and have been finishing up all the trim and siding since then.  Below are the pictures of the place just after Christmas:

 The Front of the house- from the Southeast...  Still have the construction fence up all around the property- until next spring when Nathan gets the new fence and landscaping in...

The Front of the house- from the Southwest- you can just catch the roof deck railing between our roof line and Terese & Keith's roof line in the back...

Here is the back of the house- from the alley at the North of our lot. Eventually, Nathan will get a bike shed/chicken coop built on the alley that will make this yard a private garden for Terese...

This shed roof covers the patio doors and the entrance to Keith & Terese's part of the house.  It makes a great space for hanging out to watch the rain come down...

Here is the view of the house from the East-  we have built just a couple of the 30 or so raised beds that we are planning for this side lot...

This is a view of Terese & Keith's place- from the patio...

And here is a close-up of the trim / siding / stucco materials that Nathan brought together so beautifully for us.

We'll get part 2 assembled soon, with a lot more photos of the process- with all our friends and family who helped us out!
