No brick anywhere. Cedar siding is painted and starting to peel amd splinter. I don't want to paint anymore.......getting to old. They say they pad right over the old casings and vinyl over it. Going with Certineed 7" exposure cedar shingles. No Matt....I'm not going to paint it orange....get drunk sure. Thanks for all the info.......keep it coming.

Strip it, wrap it, install what you will. You're making an investment, so do it right the first time, I wouldn't even consider buying a house that's been clad, as 90% are covering defects or problems. Hope you have a good vapor barrier ovr your insullation if you do go with the vinyl. I am not a fan of it and won't work with it, unless it's to strip it.
Wood is good. (I do love the PVC trim though!)

Nightfighter I have been saying that for years......siding is not as much a savior of having to paint these days as it is a method of covering problems prior to homes going on the market....we are looking at houses and I will not buy one that has been sided!  Those shingles under the siding are going to dry and rot and harbor bugs, carpenter ants and termites will be thriving for years under the siding before you all realize they have been there and long about the time they start poking holes in the interior walls from the outside.....you will only then realize you have the problem! Then its too late! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Looks like I'm stripping. The base appears OK and I plan on dying out of this place and don't want ( to old...62) go climbing and painting anymore. After this is done....the house will be 100% complete.....new roof. insulated. triple pane windows, fibergalss doors, new oil burner and water tank. Now I can go fishing, drink beer and watch the garden grow..........in 4 more years.
Thanks guys

Last question.....after stripping, should the house be wrapped in TyVek (sp) and then insulboard or is just insulboard OK?

Tyvek is not necessary nor recommended as the house won't breathe and you'll start having problems down the line with the house sweating.
By sweating I mean you'll start having moisture on the inside of the windows, the house cannot be made airtight or this and many other problems will show their ugly head.
