Trimming and finishing the front.

Chris only had one day this weekend again, so he decided that he would like to get the front of the house more finished. Considering we have at least 3 to 4 people a weekend that we see drive by and take pictures out their car windows, he thought he would at least give them something better to look at :)



This is how the windows looked at the start of the day.

Chris had to use two pieces stacked on atop of one another to get the correct height. Half way below the windows will be a decorative rock and above that will be the same shingle type siding that is on the back of the house. The trim boards came from a pile we had bought at an auction a long time ago. It is a concrete product and so is the siding.

This is the first half of the windows trimmed out.( Of course, the dogs were in the way. They love the porch)

Thankfully, Chris' brother Cale came over because this all goes so much faster with two people who know what they are doing. They framed the ceiling of the porch,trimmed the windows and got the front ready for siding and rock.

We got a little bit of the siding up but it was starting to get dark.

It is hard to see much at this point.
Angus just thinks the whole process takes too long :)
