All that work staining the siding is finally paying off. It was a pain, and more work and money than we anticipated, but it does look really nice. The soffits look great too. I'll have to get a close-up of those and the other little details the guys put into the trim. Some of the boards turned out lighter than others since we went through so many batches of stain, but we can touch them up with a little more stain if necessary. I actually like the variation. We're in the process of trying to clean up all the wood now. They're still working on the back of the house, but it's mostly windows so hopefully it'll go fast.
