Another good productive week at our place. Day One of siding had a pretty serious learning curve associated with it! Between figuring out the “furring strips” (behind the big sheets of siding, we put strips of 1/2 ” pressure treated plywood to give the walls siding a gap to drain and breath, so water doesn’t get trapped.) and figuring out some pretty complex geometry to miter the corners with the horizontal lap siding, there were some frustrating moments! But we all pulled through! Big thanks to Rebecca and Curtis for their persistence to get it right!
The panels come primed, we’ll end up painting them, colors to be determined…but Robyn made the quick observation that, that is one of those tasks that can happen POST move-in!!
