Siding...Doors....Dirt!!

This past weekend (8/28-29) we had a big push for siding...
Thanks to everyone who helped!!
Uncle Larry, Aunt Maureen, Grandpa Bill, Uncle Brett, Aunt Laura, Brad, Leslie, (Joseph & Kylie - for keeping Payton occupied!), Stacey, & Emily! We had a great time and got a lot done. We will be working on it again this weekend for a couple of days - we've got more help from Diamond coming!
This is my sister-in-law running the saw!! She did almost all the cutting! Thanks Em!
Here is some of the crew - Brad, A. Laura, U. Brett, G. Bill....

David with his "bags" on....working hard!
We got all the way to the soffit on the majority of the downhill walls. This color is just the primed color for the siding. Our house will be sage green with cream trim and black soffit - to match the black windows.


We also got our front door in this week - Thanks to Brett N. at Diamond!!



David and Nikia did some dirt work this past week as well....
Retaining walls along the southwest side of the house

Our backyard looking North

Looking down our hill - or East - at the propane tank and the septic tanks...I am standing on a big rock retaining wall to take the picture. All the rocks came from the site - mostly from the hole we dug for the foundation or other trenches (water lines, sewer lines, etc...)

Looking up at the rock retaining wall from down by the propane tank.
More backyard...still looking north
