I can't decide.
Here are the color choices. Now remember, the house currently has brown gutters (not sure what the replacement color will be), brown wood fascia and soffits. The windows are also trimmed in brown wood (which is not being replaced at this time).

Day 3: Sep. 30, 2009
Not much seemed to happen today. They did remove the landing from the old addition and the back fence by the dumpster. Perhaps they did more on the inside of the old addition, but I can't really tell. I gave them my key to put in the lock box, but it got moved today and I can't find it. Heh. Eventually I'll get in there to retrieve the siding samples.

Day 2: Sep. 29, 2009
I came home around noon after picking out the windows and french doors for the new sun room. The construction guys were busy dismanteling the old garage.By the end of the day, POOF! The entire garage had been loaded into the dumpster. The dumpster divers had already arrived to pick out all the aluminum.

Day 1: Sep. 28, 2009
Today the big red dumpster was delivered and work began on the many projects around the house. Most of today was spent removing the remaining crap on the inside of the addition on the back of the house.
On the inside of the addition we found several fun and interesting decisions the previous owner had made. Perhaps the funniest, was he decided to use gypsum on the exterior of the walls (under the siding). This provides an excellent opportunity for mold to grow.
He also elected to carpet over some rather old electrical outlets. I'm sure that wasn't a fire hazard!

Overview
Sometimes the best thing is to start over from scratch...
Project I: Remove the concrete pad/driveway, and all the miscellaneous tons of concrete slabs around the house.
Project II: Remove of the one-car garage that exits to the alley and replace it with a two-car garage that exists to the street.
Project III: Remove the addition on the house and rebuild it to code, as a sun room/4-season room with a vaulted ceiling.
Estimated time to completion? "Two weeks!" (The Money Pit)
