CLOUD HOUSE SIDING IS FINALLY DONE


Siding resumed after receipt of additional special order boards. Tho this day was nice, it was still winter and rains were in the forecast.


So the east end was tented.


Under the tent, 4" horizontal and multi-inch horizontal siding was installed on each side of where steps to the first level will be located.


Things got tricky where siding hits walls, beams, doors, etc..


With the east end done, the tent came down...


revealing places such as the low Cubby at the 2nd Level stair landing.


The last decision was how to terminate the bottom of the Core Wall siding. On left, the simple "siding ended" detail; on the right, the more formal "belly board" or "house skirt" solution.


The choice, "belly skirt" was made, and the siding project, ten months after starting, was completed.
