Today, they started installing the shingles on the gables. It’s pretty nifty cuz the HardieShingles aren’t individual shakes but several on a “backbone” of more Hardie material. Still, when you’re doing Gables, you’re gonna have lots of little bits anyhoo. (And they did.)<\/p>\n
In other good house news, the new front window and the back sliding door arrived today. They both look nice, but I was sad to see the sliding door doesn’t have a way of locking\/unlocking from the outside. (An oversight which I hope we can rectify.) You’ll probably also note in the photos that the trim is being painted. (Beige will not be the color of the house when done…)<\/p>\n
