I mostly finished up the work I started last week on the back wall of the house.  Thanks a bazillion to Mom and Dad for helping out.  A few things I did smarter this week were to use a heavy duty car jack to lift the heavy hardi-panel panels into place.  They are really heavy, and since they are about .5“ thick, they really cut into your hands.  The jack worked amazingly well.  Thanks to my co-worker Mark Leech for such an ingenious, yet somehow common sense idea.

I'll see about getting some pictures up later when I'm not so sweaty and tired.
