A great 3 day weekend has begun!  After dropping my cousins off back at their house (they stayed over Friday night) – I came home to Ryan getting the siding started.

Paint stripped and ready to prime (well after that big hole is filled)

Siding started

Got the "window cap" in on the side piece so we could side around it.

A day's progress

The next piece of siding will have to be cut around the window cap that we put on, we’ll do that tomorrow.  After that we’ll put in some temporary pieces that will have to come back out when we do the window panels on the next level of the house.

Unfortunately we lost a half hour of work because our miter saw has a problem with the guard.  We played around with it for about 30 minutes and couldn’t figure out what the problem is so we temporarily took the guard off for the last few cuts.  We definitely need to get that fixed though!

And it looks like the weather is on board with our 3 day weekend to work on the house!  0% chance of rain means we can continue the outside work!  Tomorrow I’ll get a coat of paint on the trim on the other side of the house and we’ll probably work on window panels (after we finish up that siding section).
