As the cladding adventures continue, distinct changes on the home front… or is that, the front of the house?
Yes, it is the front of the house!
As the Hardie Boys have grown in their ability to reach new heights (thanks to their pump jack scaffolding system dealio), lo and behold, what once was featureless is now feature-full (…was blind, but now can see, etc.).
The house… has eyes! And they seem to be indicating shared, unspoken knowledge.

And to the left.
After the framers have the front fully-cladded, the Green Bottle gang will turn their attention to the area between 1133’s new eyes and the mouth below them (also known as the window wall). This is where the “eyebrow” will go—an overhang that will project outward from the front and, following the line of the window wall, wrap around to the north east side of the house. The eyebrow, like the roof and dining room extension, will also be covered in galv-alum. For now though, the steel supports rest patiently in the red, just beyond the terrace on the east side of the house.
Steel for the eyebrows (or is it a mustache?).
The north east corner (almost).
And, speaking of galv-alum, 1133 now sports a shiny, new…
…roof!
Is that a metal roof?
It is! It is a metal roof!
But… no solar panels? Pourquois?
Perhaps, one day, our roof may be able to absorb as much light as it currently reflects, but solar panels now? Sadly, we just couldn’t afford them. But, again, we’re still trying to green as much as our green will allow.
Our trusty galv-alum has also started to make itself known on the west side dining room extension… more a peep really than a full-fledged announcement.
The West Side Diner.
And as the Hardie Boys finish up their exploits in the back of the house, the resulting view is very, very nice. This just may explain why the front was winking.
In the immortal words of Sir Mix-A-Lot…
