Sunday morning before the slow members of the crew arrived. West side (front) view.
North and west side with some of the ants.....relatives at work.
North side just before quitting on Sunday.
South side striped and prepped for siding.
Finished west (front) and north side at quitting on Sunday.
We all gathered around this house and sided it (at least 95% of it). It was two long and somewhat cold days but it was a true family gathering. A barn raising 2007 style. At anyone time there were a dozen family members working on this "weekend project". It looked like ants on an ant hill..but less organized.
This house belongs to my nephew and his soon to be wife. They have been working hard to remodel it. This weekend was siding weekend.
When I arrived on Saturday morning at 8:30 or so (10:30) the house was still in prep. The green insulation board was on 1/2 of the house. The south side had most of the old siding still on. So with some major "wrecking" on the south side underway the construction started on the other three sides. Two days later give or take lunch breaks and coffee breaks (hey! wait! there were no coffee breaks) you have this nice sided home.
The top photo is how it looked on Saturday just before dark. The bottom four photos are how it looked today at quitting time.
Not bad for a bunch of amature's and two pros.
UPDATE (01/15/07): Here is three more daylight photos. So what do you think 95% done?
East side (back).
South side.
West side (front).
