Visible Progress


It is with sheer excitement that I write this blog post! Today, if you happened to drive past our project house on Oak Street you would actually notice some improvement. Up to this point the house has basically continued to look worse. However, after a long, hot holiday weekend of Trent and I installing vinyl siding, things are looking better. As with most things, it took a little time to get the hang of it (which is the reason we started with the garage and not the house). Once we got a system down, we were flying. We are planning on doing the house next weekend (the longer chunk of time seems to serve us well on this task). For anyone looking to upgrade your own home - shop, shop, shop. I found that vinyl prices were all over the place. The small, private building supply store was about half the cost of Lowe's or Home Depot (plus, we ended up receiving a much higher grade vinyl).
**Oh....and the color we selected is called, "Montana Suede."

  2. We purchased the siding from Richard's Building Supply. Below is their website. They are each small franchises, but have lots of locations in the midwest. We have been using the one in Elkhart: 574.970.5975. Good Luck!
