Roofing and siding progress

There wasn't alot of activitiy inside the house this past week.  Outside, work on the siding continued.  Metal flashing for the transition from siding to stone was fabricated and put in place.  The gutter boards on the second floor were covered with a dark green aluminum fascia and when all the siding on the second floor was in place, the gutters were added.  At this point we have a green downspout and a brown downspout until we decide which color was want on the rest of the house.  I like brown, Chris likes the green.

The roofers came back on Friday and began working on the first floor again.  Our painter friend, Jim, was back this weekend and finished painting all the trim on the second floor.  He is starting to sand the beams in the living room and bedroom to prepare them for staining.  We went over stain colors and next weekend he should be ready to start work on the windows.

We took another drive to Freedom this week and placed an order for our interior doors and trim.  They've been in operation for 80 years.  If you'd like to see some of their work, here's a link to their website:  http://www.freedomwoodproducts.com/index.html 

Sunday afternoon we took the dogs out to the house and walked the fields adjacent to the house.  We all enjoyed the warm weather and sunshine.
