Speaking of siding....
There it is....at last!
We're using Hardieplank lap siding with a 4" exposure to give us a wooden clapboard farmhouse look. The Hardie we're using is preprimed but will need to be painted in the spring (by the time we finish, it will be too late to paint this fall). You can buy it prefinished, but I think it will look more old-fashioned to have it painted on site.
Hardie is a cementitious product that is resistant to rot and wood destroying insects and also holds paint for many years. Since we'll have the rainscreen to dry the backside, we should be in extra good shape on all those fronts.
