The Life for Me

Tim and Bobby got the siding finished up on Friday. It will be interesting to see how well the Pre-finished Hardie Siding holds up in the long run. Right now it looks great, and the color-matched caulk is spot on. They took a lot of care during installation as to not scratch or chip the surface.

This is a shot of the rock wall that is located in the basement behind the wood stove (which is not installed yet). Most of the choice stone was incorporated into the construction of the chimney, so the pickin's were slim for this bit although it still turned out really nice. I'll be curious to see how well the stone holds the heat once the stove runs for a few hours.
