Siding is installed

The progress lately is not terribly exciting to post pictures of but none the less important components such as wiring, plumbing and siding, oh my!

This picture is from Sunday, April 19, 2009.  The siding is installed and the shake accent is done.  I am thinking of painting it a soft green color with dark brown or reddish brown trim.  The builder said he could put a little on the house for us to see how we like it before committing. 

This is not the real front door.  We learned the builder rents exterior doors for during construction so the real doors do not get damaged.  The real front door is a craftsman style with a window and ledge detail. 

The downstairs fireplace is all framed in.  This was done over a week ago, just didn't get the pictures posted until now.
