Some siding, kitchen backer board


Today Jenm and Mikem hung up about 1/2 of the temporary siding. As a reminder, we tore all the aluminium siding off the back part of the house, to allow the new door and window to be installed. Jenm and Mikem made new siding by ripping 1/2" OSB into 12" wide strips. Those strips form our siding in this part of the house.
In future phases of construction we will replace all the siding with something new. However, this siding will suffice until then.
Billn cut and secured 1/2" cementatious backerboard on the kitchen floor. We will adhere the tile to the backer board, once Jenm chooses some.
The countertop manufacturer comes to measure tomorrow. In two weeks or so, they return with our finished countertop.
Don't look for many updates this week, 70Hack is travelling.
