Exterior Sided & Primed, Insulation Begins - Week 18, Thursday

Siding is complete...the shape shifting house changes colors again! I know I've said this before, but it REALLY looks like a house now! We're really pleased how things are coming along and the house is looking great. I love the 4" LAP siding and simple trim. The crew did a VERY nice job putting up the siding. It is very tidy and perfectly aligned in all areas. Even the nail heads are in a nice pattern!

Now it's time to start thinking about color for this little guy. Everytime the exterior changes, I think I want to paint it a similar color. When it was plywood, I thought about a brighter color or possibly brown; when it was covered in the black wrap, I was thinking a dark gray (either with a blue or warm/taupe tint); and now that it is primed light gray, I am thinking a light color might be nice. Decisions, decisions...

Inside the house, all the electrical, plumbing and HVAC are complete with final inspections. Insulation has begun.

As I mentioned in my last post, we decided to remove a window from the kitchen. Below is the final set up with the 4 windows instead of 5.
