This picture shows the back of the house.  The workers have started to apply siding to the back wall and are creating a "gable roof".  The siding used on this house is called "Hardiplank" and is manufactured by James Hardie Building Products Inc.  This siding looks like wood, but is actually fiber-cement and resists damage from extended exposure to harsh weather conditions.

 

Looking upward, a view of the roof structure.
