A lot of the outside detail work is progressing while the new siding material is delivered to the job site (re: non-uniform look). The wraping around the columns have begun, really giving a good, simple, yet more substantial feel to the exterior of the house.



Notice the 2x2s that wrap around near the top and bottom of the beams, and the simple headers.



The front and back deck celing boxes are now fully wraped. A small 3/4" overhang on the box sides sets it apart from a simple wrap.



Here is the back porch.







My father has cleaned and used a solution (Benite?, or something like that) to create an even surface, so that when the stain is applied, it will go on smooth and not splotch.



We spent this weekend going over the final exterior colors and interior colors.
