It's a Start

We've done so much demo, today was the first day of putting up some siding. I came home this evening to see a very pretty start, but first, let me show you what we've been doing.

We knew the stump corner had some dry rot, so Roy addressed this part first. As he started to dig he found some old termite damage and the rot went a little farther then we thought. He jacked the whole house up and replaced the sill board and all you can see. He did a great job and we just hoped there wouldn't be anymore dry rot (by the way there hasn't been so far).


Then came the destruction...

The naked back of the house.

Getting it zipped up in blue with some friends' help.

As far as we got last weekend, the rest of the front
will be coming off, possibly tomorrow.

And finally our first bits of siding... well really soffit. Roy did a great job doing the 45 degree angle at the corner of the house. It really looks great. Apparently that must go up first and then layers come down or maybe go up. That is why we hired someone to do it. I'm looking forward to getting the first panels of siding on to see what the whole house is going to look like. It's so exciting!

Stay tuned for more updates hopefully tomorrow. Hoping the siding is going to speed along soon.
