so glad your chicks made it! I have been enjoying your thread from the start!
I have a question about the house if you don't mind. I have an observation and suggestion if you don't plan on doing anything with your siding, this would help prolong the life of t1-11 siding you currently have.
If you're planning on residing, then this doesn't matter. If not.... you may want to consider having him add "Z" flashing between the upper and lower sheets of siding. The "Z" flashing goes up under the top sheet and bends over the bottom sheet to protect the lower piece of siding from water damage. I see that some of your siding is warped at the top from water damage and this would at least stop any further damage. Just a thought.. I worked in construction since I was 16 and it comes in mighty handy!
