I also finished putting up all of the cement board. I sealed it up.



For the soffits, I used a James Hardie product for lap siding. It is very hard, paintable, and should last a long time. I was worried about using stained wood in MI. I didn't want something that I would need to re-stain every couple years.

There you go, Dino. I think that makes us even again!!

One day you will dream,
In a driving rainshower,
Of a deeper eave.

A little haiku I wrote.

Just having a little fun. It looks good.

Looks great, Mike. I'm very glad you posted about the lap siding, because I had no idea what I would use for my soffits, but now I know!

Seems to work, Daren. It was available at Home Depot. They come in different widths, but HD only carried one size. Of course it was too wide, and I needed to cut it. It is harder than the cement board, but still scores and snaps. Just takes longer. It came pre-primed. The website states it can easily be painted, just not stained. It's very durable.

I don't know Mike - I would have made the eaves about a 1/2 inch longer

It's looking great!

Wow,
I didn't notice that you used hardie lap siding for the eave. That was what I ended up using on my eaves for my shed. I did use it, but I absolutely hate working with that cement board. There's got to be a better way.

Spent a little time this weekend putting up some stone veneer. It is not as fast as I thought it would be (nothing ever is). Fortunately, my wife seemed to enjoy trying to arrange the stone like big puzzle pieces. It was fun working with someone else. She said she helping "just to get that thing done with", but I think she sort of enjoyed it!

She certainly looks as if she's enjoying herself anyway...

I love the stone veneer! Is it going to go all over or just on the stand?

She admitted to having fun. Hopefully her enthusiasm will persist. We have a lot to go.

Our plan is to cover the entire oven with the stone.
