The Exterior

Since the majority of the walls/siding had already been installed and painted, I had basically just the dormers, porch, deck and roof to install for the structure.  Leveling it was a challenge, but I learned many lessons on the way.  I grumbled and growled and spent many hours deciding what to do to get it right, but at last the exterior has been completed!  There were pieces of the deck railing that were missing so I designed and created my own railing.  A true professional could see where I had issues with roofing, etc, but I think it came out way better than I anticipated.  The next house should be easier in terms of my knowing how to correct problems and even stopping them before they begin.
