Sand, spackle, paint, sand, repeat...

Well I have been chugging along the past couple weeks, nothing interesting, just prepping porch and window trim assemblies:
...installing roof pieces, prepping and installing roof trim:
...installing exterior window trim pieces:
So the corner trim pieces don't quite fit flush to the base trim, because of the pre-installed siding. That might be a reason to install siding afterward, but then one gets paint everywhere... I guess I should have dremeled the siding pieces thinner, or made some new ones out of thin strip wood, but oh well.
I had a bit of trouble with the windows; the interior frames, I mounted too low because I didn't take into account that the exterior have sills that add to their height; thus I mounted the interiors flush to the horizontal plane of the opening. Too low, because then you can see a good portion of the wrong side of the interior frame when you look from the outside of the house. Hmmmm... So I had to mount the exterior trim low to cover that. Well then the sills of the so-called "small" trim doesn't line up to fit into the window opening, but rather lines up lower, so I had to dremel it down so that it would lie against the side of the house. These window trims will need alot of spackle and paint and extra trim to look OK...
