Once we got out of Winter - I started to pick away at the siding. We have the original vinyl on the house so I wanted to get the match close but refuse to install vinyl. So as we are eventually going to reside the whole house we went with a pre-finished LP siding lap. Costly but such an easy...

Some interior pics from March/April Added the venting for the cathedral ceiling and get a little insulation up, full insulation will come after rough-in inspection.

Thanks - Siding is well underway. hopefully wrapped up by end of next week.

I got some catch up to do here. Doing a lot myself with friends help so the timeline is constantly getting stretched. The windows showed up while we were away on February holiday. Late Feb/March we ended up getting weather tight. I ended up removing all the old Tyvek wrap and used the BO...

A little update: On the exterior - Ice & Water, drip edge and Shingles installed. Both garage doors back in and operational. New garage side entry installed in place of an existing window. Insulate the little knee wall - very awkward job as it had to be done from the outside. Edit: Even with...

Tuesday: Subfloor installation and gable wall construction.

Monday - Paralams installed to raise existing walls for I-Joist placement. I-joists installed.

Materials showed last Thursday and Friday. Demo crew arrived on Saturday aka The Lads. We scabbed today some staging and a set of pump jacks. Took a small break to watch Liverpool match and then got back after it. Roof off mission was successful.

Storage pod, roll-off and snow arrived! Absolutely baltic here in Maine.

-2f this morning and the roll off is getting delivered 🥶

One year later and we're back. As usual - plans have changed but progress is happening. We reverted back to the original idea of removing the existing garage truss roof and adding the primary above - see post #22. A couple of reasons, cost and time of new build and our architect was unable to...
