Labor Day...Manual Labor Day!


This was how Labor Day began. We had already put up the fascia and trim on the front, sides and most of the back. You'll notice that the driveway and sidewalks are wet. Who would be dumb enough to hang siding in the rain??? That'd be us...and a few friends & family members.


Here's the first piece to go up. Wahoo!



The sun finally came out, and progress sped up a bit. Here is Dad (Lance) and Larry (family friend) measuring and cutting a piece for under the windows.



Fortunately, the neighbors were kind enough to fetch their awning to help spare us from some of the pouring rain. We should have taken pictures of the storm we were working in, but we didn't want to get the camera wet...and we were working. Here are Eric (neighbor), Dad (Rodger) and Rob working hard.



We ended the day with the full front done, and part of the side.


The trim around the windows will still needs to be painted, but we're more focused on the actual siding for now.







What a cute little house!!! Definitely beats the foam look!!!!!

It is looking good. Keep up the hard work..I will blame the house on the fact that we never get to see you guys...oh and school...and work...Doesn't being an adult just suck...you never get to play with your friends when you are an adult!
