Phase 4: Trim & Siding
December 1: Ice shield and tar paper goes down.
Roofers install drip edges and roofing paper.
It is almost waterproof.
Visible progress makes me very happy.
This is the same team that demolished the old garage.
Look, shingles!
December 2: The shingles are about 65 percent completed.

A creative valley will prevent water damage where the roofs meet.
December 6: The 9-foot wide door is in.
It will separate the two garages.
The same day, the 16 footer is in.
This serves as the exit to the rear yard.
Pretty much weathertight now.
Chuck begins trimming around the windows.
The green and red Xmas colors was unintentional.
Dec 17: trim around the 16-foot door is installed.

This is the neighbor's view.
Dec 15: Siding is started on the east wall.
Soffet venting will prevent snow from melting once it's heated.
Dec 17: The east wall is completed.
A larger overhang is present on the west wall which will be bricked.
The north wall gets started.
And on Dec 17 it is completed.
I am happy with the trim work.
This boxed gable end was NOT on the prints, but I will take it.
The wide red trim covers up a rough endge of brick.
I think it turned out quite good.
This is the "rabbit view" from the back yard.
Never mind the Honda, my '70 Mercury is coming home in April 2005.
