Siding is done, drywall done in a day or 2

Our siding got finished up yesterday. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. For any one who is wondering my installer Eric Davis (http://www.ericdavisconstruction.com/) used a ring shank nails and I would guess they were about 2 inches long to attach the siding.

 

Our drywall should finally be finished by tomorrow so we will be spending the weekend painting. Weather has been terrible so we have not been able to work on the stone because of the temperatures but hopefully we can finish that up next week.

The east side has siding and we have power

Just a quick update before we get battered by the coming spring snow storm... Eric Davis has made some great progress on the siding. The walk out side of the house is finished. They should have no problems finishing this up next week as long as the weather gets decent and I can finish up on the rock.

In other news we have power to the panel. The furnace should be hooked up tomorrow, though the temperature in the house stays around 50.

Soffit finished, mason work continues siding started and electric ditch

There is lots of things happening this week. Our James Hardie Hardieplank lap siding  was delivered on Monday and my siding guy, Eric Davis finished up the soffit on Tuesday and got started on the siding. It is turning out pretty good. This house is going to look a whole lot different in another week. The weather looks like it is going to be terrible for the next week (rain, sleet snow and we barely get out of the 30s). Work will slow down after today. With the cold temperatures I will not be able to do any more work on the stone wainscoting. I did manage to get some more of the ledge put up on the front porch last night so that is good. It will be next week before I get to work on it again with these temperatures.

 

My father in law got out the old backhoe and got the ditch dug for the electric line. The drywall guys were worried about the mud drying so hopefully we will have power by the end of the day today. 

 

The dry wall guys are making progress on the walls.

The next project is to get paint picked out and get some primer and color up on the walls. If the weather warms up we will be back outside working on the stonework.
