Panels and Trim!

So this is the fun part. The 3030 rapidly starts to look like a home. The exterior skin goes up in 40" panels that span the entire length of the house. It goes together like regular vinyl siding; the top overlapping the bottom. Except they are about ten times bigger. Notches have to be cut around the windows and the raw ends finished with extruded aluminum trim. Those are the kahki colored pieces around the windows and doors.

The panel profile is a wave, but there are many other options. There are flat panels, standing seam, and they can be installed both horizontally and vertically. It is an matter of personal preference and comes with a 20 year warranty on the paint. Windows and doors installation is finished except for one more window in the front. It will span the structural beams between floors on the left hand side of the house. It has to be modified to work because it can only be as thick as the panels themselves.

The last picture isn't that sexy, but necessary. It is the sewer and 2" water service. The home will have a sprinkler system so we installed an oversize service.
