Kyle and Hope came up yesterday for Father's Day, which was so nice.  Kyle was able to help Jim move the dining room table top.  They got it set up in our space in the work shop so we can start organizing.  We went out to The Local and then to see Mom.  I failed miserably to get any good pictures but it was a nice day. 

Today, Jim spent some time cleaning up his tools from the elliptical assembly and he brought up some more boxes for us to go through.

He got all the tools out before lunch and marked and predrilled the next siding piece for the left side.  We got the first one up in place and Jim started attaching.  He really had to scoot behind all the scaffolding to work here.

More fasteners...

Pre-drilling the next piece...

Jim had also cut the final piece of bottom flashing and we got that in place...

The next piece is up and Jim is fastening...

Using the shear to cut the flange off the final piece of siding on this side...

Up and fastening...

Siding is all done on this side!  Jim wanted to get the top section of scaffolding off..

Bringing down the scaffolding...

Next job was to install the soffit vents.  Jim first figured out where he wanted them to go and started drilling with his hole saw...

Hole drilled!

Jim then uses a drum sander bit to get the hole just a bit bigger for the vent...

Putting the vent in...

All the vents are in on this side...

This side is done!

Moving over to the other side to do the vents.  Drilling the hole...

Jim got everything cleaned up and then finished off the day with some lawn mowing.
