It’s been a giant undertaking but it’s progressing and finally coming together

That looks good man. Unfortunately I have that same project in my very near future. What type of siding did you have on before?

looks like a lot of work but it looks good!

I had large (12in reveal) cedar shakes with some sort of fiber matting in between rows. Yes it’s a lot of work but I am at the home stretch (for now)

For now is the key there. My honey do list keeps getting longer with more and more involved projects. I just see it as an excuse to buy new tools!

Yep, I started purchasing tools as soon as I put in an offer, the savings I’m getting alone for doing the windows and siding myself will pay for all tool purchases I have made with left overs….

Looks great, keep up the good work!

Looks good

Nice don! Was that wood siding before or asbestos cement siding?

Looking very good man! I have to get my siding done too, I think I might sub it out

Hatters512: The siding was large cedar shakes with some fiber board in between the rows which is where a lot of my issues started as this was harboring enemies…..I mean insects! I declared war on termites, carpenter ants, Yellow Jackets/Wasps, and bees. Now with the fiber cement board it’s a big FU to them lol.

 

Poisonfangs85: I looked into subbing it out but the cost savings was HUGE! in the order of tens of thousands of savings $20-$30K. When I got the quotes I was shocked that’s 8 times the material costs, especially since the house was already stripped!

Well I guess it’s been a while but here are some updates, sorry for slacking

Hope you enjoy

She’s purty! Previous owners of my house put new vinyl siding on the house but shoddy, I know I gotta redo it all someday

. Came out really nice man!!

Thanks guys!

I haven’t yet fully air seal the house yet but what I’ve done has made a huge difference.

I still need to finish the front as I was delayed due to the electrical work.

Time to spray some algeacide on that one section of the roof, if what I’m seeing is indeed algae

May need to get some of those strips of metal that go under the last run of shingles. They stop algie from growing and you don’t have to go on the roof once. Like magnesium or galvanized. Something, I can’t think of what it’s called or type of metial. Maybe zink

Millerz

You have to clean your roof before you put on the zinc strips on too. It only prevents mold and stuff. Maybe worth a try? I think it last 20 years or something like that?

It is zinc

Millerz

Yeah zinc. The one brand was called z-stop what we always used to use.

Did you like that brand?

Millerz

For installing with new shingles, yes. But if you already have shingles installed and come back later to put the zinc strip in, use the strips you get in 3′ pieces I think it is, they’re semi rigid and can slip under the edge of the shingle

I thought they were around 6 ft. If it is the same ones though. That’s the only kind I’ve seen.

Millerz

I’ll look into the roof thanks guys, I think I’ll be replacing the roof in the near future, haven’t decided yet though
