Re: Vinyl Cedar Shingle Siding

I was surprised how close the color was.The house had been many colors over the years.I don`t know if these were Sears houses,but it was a development and most houses were a variation of this type and a couple others here and there.They were all cedar shingle with slate roofs and at least one stained glass window.This one`s stained glass was gone,but it was one of the few still not remodeled.The ones who recently had their`s remodeled said they wished they knew about this stuff.In better times I`m sure I would have grabbed a few other jobs off this one.Hopefully my number will still be around when someone`s ready.

Oh yeah,no reason for diferent house wraps.I had a roll of the green Amoco stuff I had cut in half that I used up on the dormar.I prefer the Tyvek and my second is Typar,if they still make it.All the other basketweave stuff gets on my nerves.I don`t think it`s as good of a product and cutting it sucks with the strands unravelling.
