The Siding Project

Wednesday, September 21 Shaun and Kellen put siding on the sleeping cabin. This amazingly long project is almost done. I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Grandma, Glenna and I were out there for the project and besides completing our own multitude of missions we got to babysit Shaun's new 10-week old Australian Shepard, Cocoa. What a bundle of cute time-wasting joy she was!



Glenna and I applied a special sealing tape to the cracks in the repaired plywood before Shaun covered them with siding.
No easy spider access in these rooms anymore!



Shaun's SawCentral is a lot fancier than ours :)

 


 Prepping and surveying before sawing and nailing.
Measure twice, cut once.



 And siding begins...



OOPS!
Shaun had to go to the lumber store to get another piece of siding (someone forgot to measure twice before cutting once - they never said who) In his rush to return, he slammed into the post; cracking the wood and bending the iron railing.

There is an upside to this blunder. Next week he'll pop in and replace the entire post which was rotted and in need of attention anyway. Maybe he could run into a few more things for us :)
