This is the back of the house - the patio door coming out of the living room. The paper is covering the window openings right now. The soffit and facia will be some of the next things added.
This may be somewhat difficut to see, but here are the choices we've made for siding, etc. Everything we've chosen is as maintenance-free as possible. Our siding is Smart Side, an engineered wood product that is pre-painted in a finish called "Diamond Kote" .We chose Seal for the color, which is a dark brownish-gray, and the trim boards will be Beige. The garage doors will be metal, 2-inch thick doors by Midland in the Almond color (samples are the round disks by the siding samples). Rollex makes the metal soffit and facia, and that will be Almond. The Marvin Windows will be aluminum clad exterior crank out windows in the Coconut Cream color. The new crank out windows all flip around so you can easily clean the outside of the windows without going outdoors or having to climb a ladder for the second story windows, so that is a great feature. Lastly, we are planning to use a composite decking material by Kodiak for the front and back decks/porches on the house. The material is a 50/50 mix of 100% recycled pine wood fiber and high density polyethylene, making it eco-friendly as well as maintenance-free. We are going with the New England Grey color. The exterior doors and patio doors have also been ordered - information and photos later.
That's about it for now. More updates later. Good bye from Shagawa Lake, thanks for reading our blog!
