I forgot to mount the back porch lights before putting on the siding though, so I guess it will go without, or I could add some battery operated ones. The rest is fully wired and lit!

I was wanting to add siding to mine, but wasn't sure how it would look. I love it in siding! Oh no! That's an unfortunate oversight. I am going to go battery operated with mine Quote Link to comment

That's an unfortunate oversight. I am going to go battery operated with mine The siding actually went on pretty easily, but I did use the template method (made paper templates) for most areas, and I put the siding on after it was built. It took one sheet short of one full package of siding. The one place I diverged from the instructions are on the front. It said to put that large piece of fascia on and glue it in place, but I left it unglued and refitted it every time I took a step forward. That made doing the details across the front much easier. And I think they say to hook it from the top, then bend it to pop into the two slots on the bottom porch, but I recall I did the opposite. I also left both pieces of roof off til the very end, but again I fitted them every time I added something that required them to fit. Quote Link to comment
