One sheet up below the window. A send sheet cut for above the window. I've got a tricky detail with the j-channel, so I will wait for more sheets before I fully attach the upper sheets.

Getting that top sheet in makes it look so much more complete. Tomorrow I can finish the strip above the window, and then: onward to the copper. #CopperSiding

Finished another run of metal. I didn't have my camera, but I also put one small sheet on under the bathroom window on the other side. I'm wondering if I should be putting strips behind the metal, to give a ventilation layer.

Put two more sheets up. Finished as the sun went down. Also, meet another local tiny-houser today. She's been in her self-built house for a couple months, with about the same house layout.

Put up the next sheet of metal. It is so much easier at ground level!

Cut the top piece of metal. Duct taped it in place until I could get the fasteners in.

Started cutting metal today and putting it up. Three pieces done! I cut the first piece with a skill saw (with an old blade on backwards). Had to wear ear plugs AND ear muffs. Later, I used a jig saw. Much better! Still wear ear muffs!

Putting up some of the last trim this morning.

I've started the trim around the down spout. I think I will cover the red boards with blue-painted cedar.

I've got the blue boards pinned with nails over the wheels. Now I will caulk then and screw them in place.
