Siding Progress

Saturday and today (Monday) have been warm (relatively speaking!), so Peter has been working on getting some of the siding up. His first "test" section was this triangle between the porch roof and the garage roof. It looks great! He put this up on Thursday evening after work.
Full view of the house. Soon we will no longer be a huge advertisement for Lowe's! :)
Another view - from the front.
Kitty was a BIG help. :)
Saturday Peter finished the flashing on the roof and started on the board and batten.
Today he finished up the board and is working on the batten! :) It looks so good!

Who'd'a-thunk we'd be calling 45°-50° weather warm... but it definitely feels like a heat wave! :)
I don't remember if I have ever mentioned how the siding will look when it's done? It'll be a mixture of lap siding, board and batten and shingles. All the materials will be Hardi-plank and the color scheme will be a sage green with cream trim. Similar to the green on the walls in this room. (Do you think that would be too dark???) To get an idea of all the types of siding we will use, take a look at this house. They used the same three mix of materials.

I love the idea of the green w/white trim! We've been bouncing around ideas for our exterior and green has always stuck in our minds. Will look great!
