For those in attendance I will now cover the front of the house. What a job this ended up being. We knew there was gonna be some extra work here & luckily it turns out we are satisfied with it. We still have some touchups to do. The North side is 1/3 done. Saturday we will have up to the middle of the window done on that side as well. Then it's just about waiting to rent the lift to finish. And I am taking the Cherry tree down on the right side of the house. We will be planting a nice red Maple out front I think.
And now on to what you're all waiting for,,,, the pictures!! :laf: :laf:

Nice work. The last picture looks like the house has two eyes (top windows) and an open mouth (door).
Jerry
Very nice.
I love those style houses, in fact it looks a lot like mine.
You didnt take the pitch out of the porch did you? For run off?
Thanks guys.
:eyebrownod: @ Jerry!!
The front porch was for some reason already pitched that way. I would like to move it up about 8" to steepen it up but I doubt I have that much ambition. :nono: The upper roof is about a 10/12. It doesn't show in the pics but she rises purdy quick. I can just about almost try to walk up it with good shoes.
Looks like you did a nice job. Were'd you find that lighted address sign in the last pic? :biggrin:
Man, that must have been some job jacking the right side of the house up like that. Looks like in pic 2 you got it a bit high. I notice in last picture tho, you got er done. Ha!
Seriously, it looks like you did a good job. I've tackled siding jobs myself and have come to the conclusion, if I need it done again, I'll leave it to the pro's. I like a front porch to sit and rock on with my favorite cup of coffee.
Looking Good!
Thanks Dave!! Those are reflective numbers that caught the camera flash from about 15yds away. I got them from Menards. We put them on a nice routered plaque & painted it with the Bronze trim paint to contrast with the Clay on the siding & hoping they would show up very well after dark if the occasion should ever arise.
Thanks Whitehare!! Yeah I musta jacked that right side up a little further than I had planned on going!! :laf: :laf: I'm gonna call about the Cedar siding we have on order & hopefully we can pick it up today.
