Milestone – Siding
Recently the siding started to go up. Easily one of the most painful decisions to date, the clothing of the house – cladding. We chose a prefinished white cedar for a number of reasons: renewable if from well managed sources, long lasting, high quality look and a natural feel that synthetic finishes just can’t replace.
With a modern home shape, it would be easy to push the final appearance over the austere threshold with sleek materials. So we opted for a toned down but clean rustic feel — an effort to ease into the neighbouring landscape as best as we could while still appealing to our own aesthetic.
From the pace the siding installers are going, they should be completed in one more week.
