1500 screws to go!

Well things have been a little hectic and I've not been lax in updating the blog. But some progress has occurred. The boards are all up on the north side (save 1200-1500 screws that still need to go in). I just need to trim out the horizontal surface of the overhang which is currently wrapped in rubber membrane. As for the east side; I was hoping to have that complete, too, but apparently I cannot add. Well actually it was more of an omission, but nonetheless the result was the same, a shortage of siding. So, the siding will not be all up before Paul and Eliza get here, but it's pretty damn close.

Additionally some work has been done on the bedroom deck, getting it ready for finishing. See photos below. The closet walls have been built, exterior walls sheathed and everything wrapped in Vaproshield. I started putting furring up but still have some more to do.

And Ramona learned a new trick this weekend: how to climb an extension ladder. I wish I had the camera at the time, but Ramona climbed up the ladder, with me on it, walked right by and proceeded to get on the roof. She wandered around on the roof for a while and then climbed back down the ladder. She did it one more time that I know of on Sunday as well. But I couldn't convince her to jump.









The color of the siding is starting to blend in with the ground, just like I was hoping.

This was Saturday, before I got some siding up on the east end.

Sunday.



Here's a picture circa 2008. Up until a few weeks ago, this area did not look too much different. But it's been sheathed, closet walls framed, and partially furred. Almost ready for siding.
