August 29th, 2008...It seems like the wood siding would be pretty easy and fast. Big sheets of plywood covering large sections of house. But when we really started, there are so many cuts and measurements and angles. Thank goodness Ryan, one of our two mathmaticaly minded children came through with angles and figuring. Plus the whole 6'5" thing comes in handy when the top of each piece of plywood is 8' up. This siding is also designed to be another earthquake safety feature, reguiring a nail every 4" on every stud. 6,000 nails later the house is nearly sided. Trim will be added later.
