A lot of the phases of house construction kind of disappear when they are completed whereas they scream "UNFINISHED" till they are. Siding is sort of like that. Prior to siding the basic shape of the house is there but usually there is Tyvek flapping in the wind or exposed framing elements. Once siding is done... it all just looks done but not so glaringly done as it was undone. So I have decided to leave strategic portions incomplete to highlight what is done.

This is much as I saw in India once where the ditch diggers would leave columns of soil in the middle of the ditch to confirm the amount of material extracted so there would be a ditch with little columns of dirt. This would be rather interesting for soil scientists who could examine the various soil horizons.

But I digress.

So here are a couple pictures of the siding partially and then completely done on the S and W sides but the soffits remain unfinished. Perhaps they will for a while just to emphasize the doneness..
