The most exciting thing that happened yesterday was that the first wall of siding went up! The color is just the primer, the final color will be slightly darker and greenish-greyer.
Meanwhile, the porch carpenters worked on some of the trim detail on the gable end over the door. It turned out that the architectural cross-section drawing neglected a crucial detail on how these trim pieces were supposed to overlap, so the carpenters had to extend the roof out 3/4" to make it all work. Good thing the lead carpenter is also a cabinet maker, and worried about the small dimensional details.
The mistakes with the trim around the front bathroom window were also torn off, and it was redone to look more like the drawing, and make the false side panels the same size as the window. We're thinking of painting the inside square of these panels a contrasting color to bring out the 3 side-by-side squares.
Finally, the trim work was completed around the new downstairs bathroom and kitchen windows.
