Look at all that siding :)

House wrapped and sealed, windows in, corners in place!
Windows and doors trimmed with the same PVC product I used last time. A little more expensive, but really easy to work with and rot-resistant. The trim and siding should be here for a long, long time!
Trim in place and the first few courses of siding all around the remainder of the house. All the hard work has been done - now we just need to get everything else put in place!
That might just look alright when it's all cleaned up..
It sure does! A few more pieces up top and we'll be good to go on this side of the solarium.
Paint is becoming a thorn in my side. I'm never this indecisive..I'm not sure why this is so hard!
The really sad part is..I still don't like the samples I had mixed. I really, REALLY like the dark gray color I had initially picked out..I just think it's going to be too dark. Woe is me..
I got the stained glass window all sanded, caulked, primed and ready to go. Dad had a piece of plexi glass made up, too. Growing up in this neighborhood, I guess he had a feeling there might be a kid or two with a BB gun...
It looks really great! Ready to fill the hole in the wall :)
Stay tuned for more - lots of progress every day!

Well, isn't that special.

Did you notice the small window above the bay windows in my previous post? Here it is! It was given to me by the previous owners - they felt it should stay with the house....and I feel it should be a part OF the house, again!
Last night's quick project was building a frame for the window so I can hang it in place..when we get to that point.
I'm not totally finished yet, but I might be about as far as I CAN be for the moment. I still need to cut a few small strips to hold the sash in place. I angled the bottom here so it would shed water..in theory. Check back for more updates soon!
