Jim was excited to get out and work today because the forecast was for the low 40s and for a time it felt a bit warmer.  Unfortunately, it didn't last and never got quite as warm as predicted.  Plus, by afternoon the sun disappeared for good and there were on/off episodes of snow and sleet.  Jim powered through it all to make good progress.

He got the bottom Z-channel attached all the way across the front of the barn and then was able to put up the next piece of siding.

Next task was to put up the J-channel trim all the way around the man door...

All finished....

This next piece of siding was complicated - in fact, Jim had to take it up/down 3 different times until he got it to fit perfectly.  He always cuts things a little big so he has wiggle room.

Putting it up in place...

And putting all the fasteners in...

End-of-the-day picture - looking great!
