I couldn’t quite get rid of the pinky colorcast. This was shot just before sunset. The color of the siding is an off-white. These guys have been siding the house for at least three weeks now. I don’t think it would take me three weeks to finish siding the house.

This was shot standing in the great room. The kitchen/eating area is to the left. That bow shaped drywall masterpiece is an art niche. The original plan called for a pony wall up the stairway but we would have none of that. Stair caps and railing for us and it only cost as much as a used Buick.

Happily, I can reach through the internet, connect Joe’s camera, and download the photos Joe hasn’t share with us. I give you: the first artwork to grace the art niche.

I have to agree with Joe. This is the slowest-moving construction crew ever. I mean, even worse than the Bob Tomsich Crew of Not Lovable Misfits who put our house together. Maybe we’re being overly judgemental, though. Perhaps this crew takes so much pride in their work, is so methodical, so thorough, that it takes a month to side a house. The framing crew took what…five weeks? They don’t have Amish framing crews up in BC (we jealously horde those guys here in Ohio), so they have to do with the less efficient “Yankee” crews.

p.s. What the hell is a “pony wall?”

Joe speaks to the unedumacated…
Um, a half wall.

The Unedumacated replies…
Ah, okay. Good call. A…uh..”pony wall” would’ve looked cheap.
