With rain coming today this may be the progress that’s made.  Luckily it was good progress.  Ryan made window caps (we couldn’t fit our entire window cap like we made for the lower level windows but he made some nice caps that fit perfectly and since it’s the second story I think it looks great!  Then he finished the siding up around the caps, getting the last piece in last night just as Alex and I got home.

Last piece going on

The right side is finished

As you may notice, the crown molding was also finished up along the roofline!  The carpenter we hired and the carpenter from our painter’s crew worked together and managed to get all that molding up (around the porch and then the roof) in just 2 days.  We liked the carpeter’s work and we’ll probably hire him in the future for more exterior work.  Unfortunately, aside from the carpenter (subcontractor) of the painters’, we haven’t seen any other painters around.  They still have some sections to strip and then painting to do.  The owner was supposed to stop by last friday but Ryan never heard anything from him.  If i have time today I will call the office again but that’s never helpful since it’s just a receptionist.  I doubt they’re coming over the next few days with rain forecasted.
