Some Siding

One of my favorite views.
















Entry door soffit with tongue and groove boards over a layer of fire-resistant gypsum board.

View looking north. The house is "wrapped" and ready for the stucco.

So obviously, the framing contractor won the battle of who would go first in terms of placing exterior finishes. The real issue was that the stucco plaster guys encountered more nuances of wrapping the lath around the windows. Also, the plasterer had more responsibility with flashing the house in general. Not to mention that the framers had to go back and put some finishing touches to the roof overhang soffit.

In case anyone is wondering, the window frames are covered up with red tape in preparation for the stucco to be applied.

I'm being told that the stucco should be going on during the first week of November...I'll believe when I see it!
