First Wall of Siding!!!

Thanks to help today from Derek, we got the first wall of hardiplank installed on the house! Sure looks pretty...many thanks for your help today...and Cooper's too!

Second Story Windows Installed

Thanks to Dad's help, we got the second story windows installed about 2 weeks ago, I believe. Here is a shot of that and the final touches on the Tyvek house wrap. Hubbie tells me that siding is next...he has been working hard on the calculations for the stairs...they have to turn so they are complicated...but he got that worked out on Sunday I think...

Anyway, here is a closeup of one of my bedroom windows installed...it is screwed in all the way around to make it "DP 50" which is supposed to hold up in a hurricane I guess.

And here is the view of the front and back of the house tonight.

Ordering Doors & Siding

We're ordering the exterior doors, and we're doing it a little different. All exterior doors will be the same -- not just a pretty front door...isn't that cool?

Also we are ordering the siding (tomorrow, I think) for the whole house...Hardiplank 8" boards with the "carolina bead" to match the workshop out back.

Forking out the dough this week!!!
