This is my folks house. My dad was his own GC, did A LOT of the work himself, including the sunburst siding you can just see in the background. Laid out a huge template in the garage to cut it because every single piece was unique. He's a lot more handy than me that way.
Anyways... he wanted a "true" Victorian which has to have seven colors or something like that. So he spent a lot of time picking out colors. He used all CertainTeed and when he was done and sent them pics, they sent out a photographer and it's still, 10 years later, on their site and in their print catalogue. CertainTeed ended up compensating them a little.
One other interesting note about that house... The 5 acre lot was heavily wooded. He had the hardwoods felled and hauled to a mill about 10 miles away. The trees that stood on the lot are now the hardwood floors in the house and much of the woodwork, which he and I stained.

Is your father's house the one with the dark stained wooden windows? Because those windows are crazy fine !
