Cleanup

There was some really ugly chicken wire used to keep pets in on the back wall of the carport.  This had also allowed a lot of branches, pine needles, and pine cones to build up behind the carport.  Since my plan is to enclose the carport, I'll need to cover this back area and reframe it.  Can't do that till after I close, but I need to clean up in order to do that, so I got back there, trimmed back the bushes to allow access, and removed all the waste.  Ended up about 4 Home Depot yard waste bags full.  Didn't get a before picture, but did get an after picture:

Craigslist Find

I'm still using a lot of old Ikea Expedit stuff for storage.  It works, and is flexible, but not fancy.  Been on the lookout for something better.  Ran across this on CL for only $300, and got them to deliver. Right now it's just staged in the open area of the basement.  I should be able to finish the framing and drywall in the old theater, and I'll move these in there.

Paint

Had to get a coat of paint on before the rains hit.  Not completely sold on the blue trim, may due a dark brown or grey there instead, but a huge improvement over what it was.  Right now I only have one coat on, and haven't done the edging right, so it's a rough paint job, but it will tide the house over until I get a patch of good weather and can finish the job.

Siding Started

Man, this stuff takes a loooong time to stain, but the results look very nice.  Here I've started the first round of siding. I will probably do this over the coming 2 weeks, staining some on one night, and installing is 1-2 days later.  It seems to take about 24 hours for the stain to fully dry.  Looks great though. Here is a better shot where I've stacked a few of the excess pieces on top so you can see more of what the wood will look like.
