More on the sides

It was a short trip this weekend. We came up on Friday and went home on Saturday.

On Friday, Gerald grouted the floor in the guest bathroom.









During the week, Gerald had called Mario, a foreman on the crew that had done our framing, and asked if he'd be interested in siding the high parts of the house that we didn't feel comfortable doing.

Mario showed up at 7:30 on Saturday morning with two other guys, and they got to work. Mario worked on the extension ladder, while another worker guided the tops of the planks from the upper window.




While they were doing that, Gerald and J.C. worked on getting the house ready for the rough-in plumbing and electrical inspection.











By about 3 p.m. Saturday, the crew had put on all the siding except the bats on the back of the house...











...and had started working on the dormers. We left about 4:30 and headed to Rumors restaurant for the Blackhawk Property Owners Association's first board meeting.
