Re: House II, Siding

Rob,

Who is the siding company you are using (mfg that is). We are picking ours this weekend and our builder uses Certainteed Monogram series. Good color choices, but the wife doesn't really like the earth tones ( I do).

Oh well we are moving along, there is still time to catch up. Heck I didn't think we would ever get started.

Re: House II, Siding

The siding is Norandex Sagebrush series. We had to go with a higher line to get the color we wanted but after seeing it on the house we're very happy with the decision.

The builder has a man-lift lined up for next week so the siders have to get stuff done to that point today and tomorrow. We're looking at using a urathane product around the oval and arch top windows that could potentially delay things, depending on availability. Hope to hear about all that today.

I'll be off soon to the lumber yard to look at porch flooring, ceiling panels and posts/balluster systems.

Way too much fun! Gotta get some work done in between all this /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: House II, Side Doors

A bit more siding went up today after the side doors were installed. This shot also shows the porch deck framing that I did. Went to the lumberyard today to pick out porch flooring and ceiling materials. Beautiful weather to be working outside /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: House II, Side Doors

Well they did get all of the second floor interior walls done today. So if they do work tomorrow they most likely would move to the garage framing so they can begin the roof trusses next week. This is an unkown but what I figure is next.

The house is moving fast at this stage, just wondering how it will go from here.

RobS, I like the color for your siding. Unfortunately that color option is not available to us.

Re: House II, Side Doors

RobS,

Went out to the house today. I know you faced the same issue I am about to answer. Site cleanup. Who is responseable, and who isn't? Well I used their broom today to sweep up the basement and first floors to create some piles of sawdust and nails so it would look a little cleaner (wife visiting the site tomorrow).

We have talked about putting out a garbage can for them to use for refuse of soda bottles etc. The wood pieces don't bother me as much, they have created a burn pile to get rid of it all.

Things are looking real good and I will post the latest pics. But I guess I need to review site cleanup with the builder and put out a trash can that we maintain. If I pick up the refuse and put it in the can (tied down inside) then maybe they will use it or get the picture. After all it is a job site, but it is our future home.

Pics coming up next.

Re: House II, Side Doors

Here is the front of the house framed. What is missing still is the front porch framing. What is missing from the top center is the oval window cut out. that is framed but not cut out behind the tyvek cover.

Here is the left side as you face the house. the (3) windows on the right are in the family room. The center one is over our fireplace and is a nice palladium window.

Re: House II, Side Doors

Here is the back side, the still have the garage to frame yet. I figure that is next just before they start the roof trusses.
