Siding Quest

Today was a long day, but in one major respect a very good one. I was trusted to do a little bit of exterior work solo! It would be carpentry, except the material was a cement board thing rather than wood. But whatever, I’m going to count it.

I only added a few panels to finish up the siding. A stack of four to the right of a window, one to the left of the same window (which had to have a hole drilled in it to allow a wire through), and the most complicated part: the notched, full-length piece of siding that ran all the way across the section of the house, with cutouts for the door and window.

Pictures below. I had a good time! And it felt great to be trusted with a more complciated project, even if I made some mistakes along the way. (I then learned how to deal with them, so still a net good.) Also, I need way more practice cutting straight lines with a skill saw. The rip across the top board is, uh, a little wavy. >_>;;

I also met a very good cat! So bonus picture of a friendly kitty, right here. She had thumbs! Polydactyl cats are so good and she was very sweet and nervous and wore a cute pink bell.

A good katten friend.
