Finally having siding re-done from last years hail....(They dug a little deep on removal)

I bet the 3' was a deck. Now it is enclosed.

Nope it was a legit, "hey we have some spare parts lets cut the back of the house off and add 3 feet" addition.

Should have pulled all the exterior off and insulated while you could.

No real opportunity to do so as "pulling it off" would have cost me both in materials (whatever that would have been in place of the celotex), and the contractor time. I will have to do the typical cut the holes and blow stuff in from the interior whenever I get around to it.

I've got to say, that is a charming house.

Did they walk along the lawn afterward with one of those wide magnet things, to pick up some of the nails?
