So most of today was spent running around picking things up...another rough cut pine board for sheathing on the back, white cedar shingles for the side of the house, ice and water guard for the windows, caulk and caulking guns etc...the one thing that I couldn't find today is stainless steel siding staples...does anyone know where I can get these?! We don't want to use galvanized staples because the will cause staining on the shingles...but Lowes, Home Depot and Moynahan lumber don't carry stainless...alas. Anyway -- you can see in these first two photos that we were able to get more of the clapboards on the house today. Slow progress but good progress.

Rocky and Mark framed the two windows on the right side of the house and installed them. They also attached two corner boards, and the water table (see bottom photo). They did this so that I could start doing the shingle siding while Leigh is away visiting our nephew and family in Lancaster PA...if I could only find those damn stainless staples...

Hopefully Riley and I will be able to make some progress tomorrow...
