Well the siding is going and going and going.. Its taking a little.. okay alot longer then we anticipated and the weather is threatening to slow us down even further so a little stressful right now.. We also ran into some problems with the electrical work on a side of the home.. We currnetly have a meter box and a breaker panel sitting on the outside of our home plus a million miles of ugly conduit.. thats what you get when you pay a discount for electrical work.. so I was calling around hoping someone can just unscrew those 2 boxes so we can get electrical under there..well that turned into how about just redoing the service altogether?! Yikes.. there goes the money we were originally saving for not doing the windows:-(..but in the long run I think its the right thing to do.. so many decisions I tell ya.. the fun of home ownership.. great to have a home and a headache at the same time.. good news is the siding looks really good and Brian and John are getting better each time they do this. Yesterday we were able to tar paper the big side of the home, put up some styrofoam plus some hardi, and cut out the vent.. all in 1 day when the last side took us 2 if not 3 days to get that far so thats the good news. Today we did one side of the front and was able to get that about 99% complete..just missing some trim and its finito!.. so this week I have to make a decision on an electrician., shell out the cash..sigh, goodbye annual bonus... but once thats done they can focus on that side again.. The weather was very nice to us this weekend despite being chilly there was no rain and some sun in fact otherwise it would have been another wasted weekend and no progress so thats the positive side of things.. just hope we can wrap this up before the yucky fall weather really starts to hit us..
