Siding and Brick

More siding was installed today along with a small portion of brick. The siding guy worked all day alone but it looks like he finished all the tedious work today. If the weather holds we may see the house completely by tomorrow. The masons decided to throw up some left over brick from the last house they were working on. Doing this is not a huge deal since the front porch will be poured in concrete and it will cover up all the brick work they did today.

Tomorrow, Lisa and I are having our electrical walk through with the superintendent and the electrician. Not sure yet what we want to do for telephone and cable outlets for this house. We haven't had a home phone in years so I would like to just have 1 telephone line ran into the data box in the basement. That way if a new owner wants telephone they can install the main phone there and run remote cordless units throughout the rest of the home. Another big thing might be home network using cat5 cable. It might be nice to just have each TV outlet paired with a cat5 cable which would all lead to the data box. That way if we wanted to run a hard line to each media device we could. Something to ponder over the next few days.

This is all that was done since they are still waiting on our brick to arrive before they start.
