Siding (part one)

Grace went to Builder's Alliance the other day and ordered all of the siding we'll need for the addition. To match our existing siding we got 16 foot and 20 foot lengths of cedar channel siding for the bottom four feet and then 4x8 sheets of Hardy siding for the top. We're glad that Builder's Alliance delivers for free (I think they're getting sick of having to drive all the way to our place with partial loads though...)

The cedar siding has to be primed on both sides before it's installed so we laid the 16 foot long pieces out in the addition and the 20 foot long pieces out in the barn and started painting. Kind of a pain. It worked out all right except that Riley and Norman walked all over the pieces in the barn with muddy paws.... (Thankfully it was before I had any primer on them.) They do take forever to dry though so it will be next week before we are installing siding.
