Siding Finished

Our exterior siding was finished today.  It's been 99% done for about 10 days now but the front door and a few other details needed completing.  It's turned out great and we really love how it looks.  In case you're wondering, the green lower part of the front isn't finished yet.  It will have a stone veneer put on it that we're ordering now.  A stipulation of the lot we bought is the house must have 30% of the front covered in either log, brick, or stone.                I hope to finish cleaning the yard of trash and debris tomorrow which will now allow Clay to come back and begin grading it and backfilling up to the foundation.  This ought to greatly improve the look of the yard surrounding the house.



I've been painting for a few weeks too but have failed to add pictures of that so far.  I keep forgetting.  I took some this weekend but I'll save them for next time.  That part is just about finished and we're making the decisions on our flooring this week.  Busy busy.
         We spent most of yesterday in Mountain Home, AR buying things for the house like toilets, water heater and bathroom fixtures.  Bonnie went to Springfield today with Rose and bought more of that stuff.  We have the light fixtures and ceiling fans now too.  The electrician is suppossed to begin the final electricl work on Wednesday which will include outlets, switches and fixture installation.  Very exciting.
