Metal Siding

I have been waiting for this for a long time...the metal siding going up.  Pretty much everyone thinks that I am totally nut, but I am going for it anyway.  I have been trying to combine traditional and contemporary ideas on this project.  


Here are the first panels going up!

First, the "J" channel gets put on the perimeter of the area where the metal will go.

The metal is on the top quarter of the 2 story addition.  Below you can see the board and batten siding, which is fiber-cement panels with a wood print pressed into the surface.  The lower part will get painted.

The first full wall is done!  I am all about being different, and the metal is different!  I really like it.

I will post more as it goes up.
