Cute pic OS, but I'm not liking the bamaesque colored house.

It's not close to Bama in person but I do not like the color of our house. We have plans of changing the color when we put vinyl siding on it, but that's a ways down the road.

When we get ready to do it I will make sure and let you know but it's going to be a while before we can afford it. I think windows will be the next house upgrade.

Prefer hardy to vinyl or hardy is all you use?

What's the cost difference? Just curious.

I do both. Hardy is a way better product. It will add value to your house where vinal won't. Talk to a realator about it before you decide.

Hardy is more expensive. 25-40% but worth every penny.

I don't plan on selling this house but you know what they say. Never say never.

I would guess it has a much higher insulation rating. Are there estimates out there on how long before you recoup the extra with energy savings?

Siding isn't important at a time like this. Pancakes are important.
