Moving on up....

...to the second floor. Hub purchased these nifty thingy's to create a movable platform for siding the second floor. For extra stability, he braced them to the house with some metal brackets he designed.

New license plate

I needed to renew my license plates, so I chose to contribute $20. to the 'Share the Road' foundation to get this new, nifty plate. They just gave me the plate with DRFT on it, so I decided it is a acronym for.... Dumb Folks Ride Tandems! That's us!

The siding project begins....

...The first piece is installed...

The side near the shed is complete....

Kat used power tools!!!!!! I'm cutting up the removed siding.....

Siding project

We were lucky enough to have purchased a home with defective siding. We filed a claim with the manufacturer http://www.masoniteclaims.com/omniwood2/FAQ.htm , received our settlement, and now hub has begun the process of residing our house. He has 'saved' this project for his retirement....so now it begins....

The siding, felt/tar paper and nails were delivered....

Friends from Harper...
