Huzzah! Interior siding has not only begun but is proceeding with speed thanks to a bona-fide nail gun. A couple quick pictures here as we head out for a full workday -- the 6-mil-thick vapor barrier covers the insulation.
It was a bit of a hassle to install nailers everywhere the siding would need to be secured around outlets -- but this is mostly done now. We started at the bottom of the wall -- instead of having the tongues rest completely in the grooves we're creating a small space (about the width of a matchstick -- approx 1/8") to allow for future expansion of the siding (say, during warmer/more humid summer weather). Off to the races!
