Here is is co-worker, Omar.
The trim board and siding (covered) arrived. The siding isn't a consistent smooth face, so it will be replaced with a new shipment from Lumbermans.
The soffits under the roof on the east, and the front porch (south side), were installed. The stain (Nantucket White) was great, then a layer of varnish was applied, and then a second coat of white synthetic varnish was applied. Should hold up very well.
This is the back porch soffits installed.
Below are some pictures of the siding on the house. Notice the mid and upper trim bands, and the unique shape. 2x2 on top, then 1x8 in between (I believe), and a 2x3 on the bottom. Not quite sure on the specifics.
The corners are butted up to each other, with no trim board (like you see on most houses), giving a nice, clean look.
Also, it is a 4 inch overlap, which looks very clean and 'tight.' The cedar is primed gray, so it will be painted later. The last house I built I primed and painted (3 times) the siding before i was installed. Going a different way this time.
The inside of the house is progressing as well. The windows are soon to be sealed and prepped for staining.
