At the end of tuesday they were back outside working on siding also. First the fancy scaffolding had to be moved. I got a demo on how the clamps work - pretty cool.

They didn't get to the siding until later in the day because first they removed my back door and window - so now I can't eat breakfast and watch them mill about in the addition.

They put up a cabinet over by the washer and dryer also. To keep things symmetrical it's crooked also. So thoughtful of them!
