Finally I can see little progress, so I thought I would share few pics. I was able to string few 3 day trips together. I was able to install back door, which opens/closed perfectly. Installed some 3’ metal and trim for wainscoting. At first I didn’t like color but I think it look good with lap siding with blue/gray tint. I’m on fence right now, so what color to you think? I also finish trimming out rollup door and other doors using LP’s Smart Trim, little pricey for me but went with it. I did primer all edges, and caulk trim till I ran out using Big Stretch. Which I also used it to fill in screw holes. I use GRK trim decking screws which has drilling tip that went through that trim which is OSB pretty good. I still have screws to put in metal where one panel overlaps the other panel. I’m hoping to start lap siding next trip and work on installing those screws in metal. Yes I did make some mistakes, on some of panels. Guys I had couple pieces of metal trim that goes on top panels which I am also using it for flashing over doors. Any ideas, thoughts please let me know, thanks for looking, enjoy pics

Adding to this post, made little more progress. On the living space had gutters installed with leaf guard. That was about 70’ gutters and couple downspouts. Also started the lap siding all way around garage. I ran a string all sides and started first roll spacing off that top trim piece which using pieces of zip sheathing as gage. Next roll I measured off string, which was pretty closet on all 3 sides.

Going with white on house but trim will be that blue. Garage with blue metal wainscoting, I was thinking shade of gray. But I don’t want it to look like ship. So I’m open for suggestions for lap siding.
