  The past weekend Gary started working on the sidings of the house (something which is best done while it is still summer - warm and dry outside). For a starter, he had to establish lines as guide to make sure that the bottom-most sidings are placed at the same level. He used an optical level to mark the points with my aid (I marked them down with a pencil, then he drove a nail on those points). urlLink While I squat here waiting for his cue, I took a shot of him peeking through the optical level urlLink This is the optical level...at first I thought it was a videocam of some sort!
Haha!...ignorant me... urlLink It had some calibrations like in a microscope, with a tiny bubble that had to be centered to determine the level. When one takes a peek, there are crossed hairlines that point at that spot where I would make the mark. We made several marks on corners of the house, at least two points at each surface to make a line.
What a wonderful gadget! urlLink After all the preparations of marking, as well as putting the trims around the garage doors and the corner molding (all plastic molding came with the sidings - totalled $5000 when Gary purchased them last year), here now is Gary&#39;s first siding in place. Tadah!!! urlLink By the end of the day, this is what Gary had finished putting up. Beautiful!...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(Gary wanted that vinyl siding, as well as tin roof and our windows and doors, for a maintenance-free house! ) urlLink Posted by urlLink Hello
