Now that I’ve finished the kitchen doors and moved the wiring connecter from the side of the house down to the foundation (which didn’t exist at the time I was doing my wiring), I had no more excuses not to start the siding. It was so hot over the weekend, I really couldn’t work (OK, so one more excuse), but by Monday the heat had mostly broken, so I started applying the siding. These are the wood strips that come with the Merrimack finishing kit. Before I started applying them, I gave them a coat of Minwax Wood Finish penetrating stain in Natural. I think the instructions are for them to go on vertically, but on Earth & Tree’s web site, they showed a house where some of the walls were done at an angle, and I really loved the look. There will be a deck (or steps down to a patio) off the kitchen doors, so I didn’t worry too much about the wood strips I used under them. The right and left-side walls, and the wall down the back of the bathroom/foyer, will get vertical strips. The other three walls are getting angles. The top trim is not glued down yet. I simply set it in place to show how it will look.
