Wrap, vents and siding.

Yesterday Mike started wrapping the new section and working on the soffets. It was exciting to round the corner and see some of the siding up today. The color here is close. If you've ever had a Krispy Kreme mocha filled donut, the mocha is the color. We are using Hardi plank with the ColorPlus. The color, Woodstock brown, is baked on. We have no intention of ever painting again. The corners are molded and the same product will frame the windows. As the remodel is being done as "aging in place" so is the exterior, haha.

To stay with the theme of no wood to take care of, Mike is framing the vents with Trex. He also is making a custom flashing to keep the water on the outside. In the first pic you can see the vent open, then closed in the second.
