New (very old building) shop

[Lynn]

Well, I see I haven't posted in forever.

Been too busy, but have taken some pics and will update soon.

Getting close to putting up siding on the North wall (other three walls are brick).

Lumber prices have gone through the roof. I was thinking of using Smartside, but being wood based composite, those prices are up as well. So now, Hardie planks are almost the same cost.

With the Hardie, you never have to worry about rot. The down side? Stuff is really hard on saw blades, and the dust is horrible. I will never work with it again without wearing a respirator.

So, if you had to put up 2400 sf of siding, which product would you choose?
