Replacing Old Awning, Siding the House and New Air Conditioner

We have a couple of projects going on.  First we want to take our old awning off and replace it with a more maintenance friendly one, add new siding to the house and paint it, and also install an air conditioner.  So let's get to it.

Mike is unscrewing the panels:

Using a shovel to help release the filler that we used:

The old panels are down:

And we are ready for the new:

I am measuring and cutting the tar paper to put on the side of the house before we add the new siding:

and...Mike told me to look up:

Laying out the plywood sheets to be painted.  We are going to put these close to the house so we have a place to walk if we need to after we put up the new awning:

Just some more boards to be painted:

Painting is done:

And Mike is adding them to the top of our awning:

Nailing in just one row which is enough to walk on and work on the house from:

Putting the tar paper on:

Looking much better than the green:

Almost finished with the middle section:

The front of the house is finished:

Everything is now painted.  We started with lighter greens but didn't like any.  We went with a clay color which is very similar to how the hardie boards came.  Mike also installed a Pioneer split unit A/C/  Our new patio area:

We used a chocolate brown for the stairs and accents:

That is an improvement or we just got tired of the green.  Either way we like the final results:

That's all for now.
