Siding and drywall progress

Here's a sneak peek at the siding. This photo was taken Thursday evening. Since then the siding crew has finished this wall and installed the soffit. They'll move to the north side on Monday and continue to work around the house following Max's progress on the furring strips.


These photos show the current state of the interior. It's pretty darned exciting to see the studs covered and to get a feel for how the finished rooms will look! First impression...they look a bit smaller, but the house is feeling super cozy now that all the insulation is in and the walls are solid walls. The echoes are gone and the interior has a whole new resonance. This view looks toward the front entry.

The guys didn't make all the way around to the kitchen today but they got pretty close.

The upstairs is looking good too. The drywall made the bigggest difference upstairs where we can no longer look through the studs from one end of the house to the other. It's made the bedrooms feel smaller but I think it'll just be a matter of getting used to the new walls. This is the upstairs hallway looking into the linen closet and guest bedroom.

Finally, here's the north side of the living room. We're still waiting on the deck door on the right. Once that's in (Monday?!?) we'll be "officially" closed in...but a piece of rigid foam insulation does a nice job in the meantime. So that's where we are right now. We're starting to feel like living here may happen one day soon! That's a great feeling :)
