We have the siding removed and one window in.   :whine:

However, now that all the tools are rounded up and we have all the stuff we need, the next ones will go a lot faster.

Lime green?    :err: 

Unfortunately our natural clay siding has been - umm - delayed.  However it should be here on Friday (man I hope so!)

Yeah, saw your post earlier. I sure as hell don't want to do it but I'm a cheap bastard. :)

Be sure to check the warranty on you shingles if you do it yourself.  There are some that won't cover any damage if it's not installed by a licensed contractor.  When we replaced ours, we did the tear off, new tar paper and flashing ourselves, but we had a licensed contractor actually install the shingles themselves.  This way we still maintained the warranty.
