This week we finished putting the lap siding all the way around the house. Then started with the shake siding above the windows.
I've secured a drywaller, and the material will be delivered on Tuesday, next week. The house portion will be plastered, hopefully for a style that closely matches the style of a Craftsman house. The rest (basement and garage) will be tape and textured.
Monday I will be calling the county for a follow-up inspection on the framing. We will be finishing up the corrections Monday also, so everything will be signed off before the drywallers start on Tuesday.
