New windows and siding

This fall we decided we started looking at new shades for our windows. Somehow this led to the decision to replace all of the windows in the front of the house. And then that led to the decision to replace the siding on the front and sides of the house, because if they were going to have rip out the trim and replace it to do the windows, we might as well do all of it. If you give a mouse a cookie...

here are some before pics...what you can't see is all the bits of rotted wood and chipped paint. The old siding was board and batten style, using the T111 plywood siding. Prone to rot. Yuck.

A couple of in-progress pics, along with roller skating kids. We went with a lighter siding color, and kept the board and batten style.

Stay tuned for the finished work - we're still waiting on the weather to get stable so the final front door painting can be done...
