House Update: Windows and Siding

Finally - a break in the rain.  With the recent (pretty) good weather, most of the windows have gone in and a lot of the siding has been put on.  What a difference it makes!

Here is the front:

The shutters aren't back on yet, and the trim and door still need to be painted, but it already looks like a completely different house.  We decided to go with a natural cedar look, though the color may be a bit different after it's stained and sealed.

Here is the side:

Obviously the siding is not up in the back yet, but the windows in the basement, family room and most of the second floor are in.

Next week, HVAC, electrical and rough plumbing should be finished, as will the rest of the siding.  Things are really moving along now.
