Staging for the Siding!
Future Home of a Skylight
A Relaxing View
The siding
company was onsite on Saturday setting up the staging so they can start the
siding work this week. It’s a bit nerve wracking as the color is picked out
(Maibec White Cedar Shakes with Misty Gray Weathering Oil) and the shingles
have been delivered. Now comes the big drum roll. Will it look good? I’m sure
it will as we’ve done our homework and it better. My better half reminded
me this weekend that it was my deal as I picked it out. So I know it will look
good. It will be great to see the siding going up as it will add to the
character of the house.
We decided
to do a change order (I’ll blog about those along the way) and have a skylight
put in over the stairs leading to the room over the garage. We had toyed around
with the idea of adding a small window on the landing but felt that a skylight
would bring in a lot more light. The light will bring with it the added feature
of making the stairway feel more open.
We spent
Saturday afternoon at a friend’s house on the water overlooking the entrance to
New Bedford harbor. They had nice gathering of a large group of old friends
where we could set aside the frenetic pace of house building, paver and plant
moving (another story) and other things that we call life. It was so nice to
see everyone and have some down time. And listen to the waves gently shsssh
against the shoreline. It was decompressing. And we enjoyed every moment.
Enjoy your
week.
