Why We Needed New Siding Part One

The beginning of "The Project."
Not the Consumer's meter, although.....

Not only did Doug uncover dry rot when he was stripping the siding off, but he also discovered this lovely gap in between our house and foundation.  Mmm-hm.

Not the Consumer's meter, although.....

That would be Doug's entire hand in there.  And the old boards underneath the old siding.  Our house is pre-1900, and not much about it is square.  As you can see...some has just settled over the last 150 years, but some, I think, was the way it was built back then.

So....stay tuned....the project is almost done, but there's WAY too much for one post! : )
