February 18, 2005 - Friday - Siding continues! Big surprise. This week
Jeffrey installed the custom made gable vents on all four gables. Not his
favorite task due to his dislike for heights! The two smaller gables (over
the garage shown here and over the master bath directly opposite the garage
gable) got smaller versions, while the larger north and south gables got bigger
versions. These gable vents are made of cedar to stand up to a life out in
the weather.
February 18, 2005 - Friday - This picture is of the front of the home like the
previous one, but it shows the whole front of the garage with the gable vent in
place and the siding complete.
February 18, 2005 - Friday - Even though we couldn't use "Hardie Soffit" material
for the soffits since the installation is a two person job (Mark is
gone...remember?), Jeffrey decided the the 12 inch wide Hardie Soffit would be
perfect to trim out the garage door! This picture shows one side of the
garage door opening looking very nice after the Hardie Soffit is installed.
The smart builder is always thinking of new ways to use existing materials!
February 18, 2005 - Friday - Jeffrey's step-father, Mark Brown, has generously
offered to come help every now and again on jobs that require two persons.
One such job is the installation of the "knotty" pine tongue and groove boards
that we use as ceiling for the front and back porches. This picture shows
the progress made on the back porch ceiling during Mark's visit earlier this
week. These boards are easy to install (with two people) and look great!
