Saturday morning, with the sun beating down upon us, we tackled the rest of the siding. I took this picture mid morning after we had the siding up in between the windows.
By Sunday afternoon, the siding was finished and Chris had caulked everything and was painting. I have discovered that I am not fond of caulking or painting. I can't say what it is, but I am happy to leave that to Chris and don't feel an ounce of guilt, either. I figure if he has left me with the task of cleaning toilets, I can abandon him when the paint brushes come out.
Originally, we thought that a ridge vent would be adequate ventilation, but the smothering heat we felt every time we went up the stairs made it obvious the roofing system's ridge vents were a joke. After Chris cut out some of the sheathing to open the gable up for a vent, he could feel the heat pour out. Now we just need to build some gable vents.

Did you consider roof turbine vents?
No. At this point, we want to mess with the roof as little as possible. I suppose if we need extra venting, we can install later.
