Thanks everyone!!
I have really been having a blast with this project. I am really looking forward to getting the interior finished so I can get the exterior finished up. If things work out the interior may be done as early as next weekend but we will see what life has I order.
As far as the Cinder Blocks. The area around Bend is all on volcanic soil. Do a google search for BN Lava siding. One of the customers I am working to model is Central Oregon Pumice. Some of the pumice was shipped to a few different cinder block manufacturers in Oregon and California. One of the plants at Deschutes Oregon had a mine and would make cinder blocks on site. I have not found any evidence of them shipping blocks but they did ship pumice.
