Progress continues, slowly. Tomorrow morning the garage door arrives. Next week some of the other doors should be delivered, and within 2 weeks we should have the sliding glass door and the garden window for the laundry room. With that, the house can be buttoned up (read: locked) and my job will be to tear down the small, plywood locking "shed" in the corner of the garage. It's a safe place, and we have a locked gate, but construction tools are so appealing to lift.
Some of the siding was installed over the past week +. Here's a photo of the garage end of the house with some of it's shingles up. It'll be shingles at the top and horizontal siding below. And the colors are not final--it comes this way and then gets painted later.
It's hard to see in this picture, but there are no exposed rafter tails in the eaves. Due to state, county, local or some other extreme regulations, they must be soffitted (is that even a word). From what I understand this is a very lengthy, tedious and painful job. I guess we're considered to be in a wildland fire area. So we had to meet a lot of specifications with all our materials that were pricey!
