Siding FINISHED after 30 workdays since July.

It was 22 degrees F when I arrived in the Yodelin parking lot this morning. No snow since last week, so it was an easy walk in. (Warmed up to 32 degrees by the time I returned to the car.)


What's wrong with the picture? (Zoom in.)This was just up the hill from our driveway.
(They got it uprighted with help a few hours later.)

The day's before/after picture.  

Installed 15 pieces to finish off installing the Ipe on the cantilever today. Feels good to know that project has a check mark next to it.

According to my travel expense ledge, we started installing the siding on July 30th by flashing the flying beams.  It took 30 work days over 132 elapsed calendar days (or 19 elapsed calendar weeks) to complete all the siding. 

The total cost including the metal siding and trim, the Ipe wood, thousands of screws, a bunch of drill bits, and some tool rental (including the crane) came to about $11,000. (I need to sell my pumpjacks now that the project is finished.) And I have no idea how many hours of my time and many others, since we've had a multitude of helpers up to the Haus on various days. Lots.

Now, let's take just a moment to enjoy the fruits of our labor...






 Let it snow. Let is snow. Let is snow.

Next up: Deck railing.
