That's Hardie Board, not Hardy Boys

(Note: I'm not able to post pictures due to a computer glitch, so use your imagination for now!  The original post date should have been September 11, 2014)

I know, I keep getting them confused, but the siding we ordered is called hardie board and it is made of concrete but looks like wood.  So not the boys' mystery stories.  Now that we have that cleared up, we have good news:  the boards are here!

Rona called and I met the delivery guy Al at the house. He picked the boards up with his forklift and dropped them in the garage. 

His forklift was too tall to fit in the garage, so the boards could only go in sideways...which means, we are parking on the street until we get those puppies up. I tried to sweet-talk Al into helping put up the boards, but he said he had his own honey-do list from his wife!

In anticipation of the boards going on the garage, we finished up the last of the trim boards and blue waterproofing stuff.

And...Jason our gas fitter came by and hooked up Mr. Heater in the garage, so we can have heat in the winter.

So exciting...So this weekend we start putting up the hardie boards...wow...that was a long time coming. And we probably won't have any free time to read the Hardy Boys!
