That's nothing, you've got to think bigger! Just kidding. That's an awesome project. Just make sure before you set it up that your neighbors know that the drop in local property values will only be temporary.

Those in other parts of the country might not appreciate your dedication to such a big outdoor project at this particular time. That Arizona sun that is making the grass so green has brought higher temperatures with it. A daily low of 100 degrees will be a thing of the past until Halloween.

It's a great idea. Building a facade for the front of the house is a great way to add a lot of character and mood.
The framing looks great, can't wait to see the siding go up.
This is an older thread that also discusses facades. Facades: Front of House

All I can say to those three is WOW! very cool!
Okay I got some work done today. I started work on the "peak" of the house.
Everything is no bigger than 4x8 so i should be able to have one neat stack approx 4 feet hight of panels. Thats why the peak is in three sections(also easier to lift into place).

It's coming together pretty well. Are you going to distress the siding?
