vinyl progress

on saturday & sunday, i continued laying up siding panels, nearly completing the north wall. i think the constant back & forth is what's taking most time here. i mostly measured one piece at a time, then went inside to cut it, brought it outside and nailed. repeat. it would probably be much faster if i record multiple measurements and trust my readings, cut a bunch at once, and nail a bunch at once.

on monday, i put up one last piece of siding to finish the north wall. i decided to start on the south wall, since it has the same eaves profile rather than a gable profile. i taped all the joints with butyl tape and started laying up felt. it was hot and slightly windy, so i was cooking and dealing with wind blowing the felt around. got about halfway up the wall with felt.

i haven't remembered to bring the camera again, i'll try to today. the north wall looks fab, gotta say. the window trim worked out looking nice, and the frieze board detail looks good too.
