House siding finished--framing begins

A new crew started on the siding on Monday. They seem much more professional. The lead man is actually a carpenter (I am not sure what the other guys were). They are the ones who will also do the framing on the garage.

By Tuesday, the siding was almost done. Most of the lumber showed up today. The house is looking great!

The house looks finished from the back. Just some trim to finish tomorrow before framing starts.

The guys laid out the ground floor framing today after finishing the house details. We are happy with the results so far.

The framing was in full gear today (Thursday) The center garage door is huge! We can have a nice big boat in there (you can tell that it is Mark writing this :-).

We hope that the garage doesn't dwarf the house. However, I am very happy with the amount of floor space that we will have in the garage. The footprint is about the same as the ground floor of our house! Steph and I talked about landscaping today. We will have a lot of work to do just to prepare the grounds before planting anything. It should be worth the work in the end.
