sunday i continued siding the east wall. it was a hot one, and the house became a giant oven. the heat slowed my pace considerably, but i managed to side most of the wall, up the rake, except for perhaps two pieces at the very peak.
my pace is also slowed significantly by my decision to not purchase/rent scaffolding. it's a lot of up & down on the ladder, but i think one less thing to deal with makes me happy for now. the scaffolding may have saved a day & a half per wall, but minus a half day setting up & taking down, so four days in all.. just a guess.
an efficient scaffolding setup might be a platform supported by pump jacks, with a cutting station and siding panel stock all attached to the platform. then everything could be done from the platform.. in the baking sun.. food for thought.
