This week’s story: Siding. The house is looking more and more finished from the outside. And our neighbors won’t have to listen to the whipping crackle of Tyvek flapping in the breeze, which is a bonus.

Here’s the view from the street on Tuesday evening. That’s Sophia parked in front. She’s a sassy little Alfa Romeo who followed our neighbor home one day. His wife agreed that they could keep her.

Front

Vroom vroom.

By Thursday, the crew had completed more of the front of the house.

And even more of the back.

And, by Friday, the west side of the house was sided.

We bid a bittersweet farewell to the forklift, which was picked up today. Bob had rented it for two months and that time is up. From now on, the crew will have to reach the high spots using ladders and scaffolding, which will take a bit more time. Our yard seems rather empty without it.
