The Great Residing Project

During the two center weekends in May, 2002, Eric led a project to reside our house, with the replacement of two windows and new soffit and downsized facia. The following pictures document the project. As usual, the pictures on this page are links to larger photos.


Front and rear views before the project.


The materials before the start of the project.


The old siding has been removed from the front and part of the side and the new soffit and facia is in place on the front. In the second photo you can just barely see the difference between the new facia (front) and the old (side).


The front windows have been changed and the house wrap is on the front.


The siding is done on the front, waiting for Craig to remount the lights and outlets.
