I am looking for gray vinyl siding with a smooth texture to match an existing wall. All vinyl siding nowadays seems to come in a woodgrain texture.

I have 1.5 year old siding on house, western part gets full sun exposure, & is a little wavy- there are no gaps, & the siding is secure. I have that foam board underneath that was installed on house when it was built- 10yrs ago. Other sides look fine, but shaded by other houses, trees, etc. Is this common for vinyl to wave?

Jonathan D asked:


I have two concerns. (Bare in mind this is Math 12 Adv. and I have not learned Natural Logs, and didn’t touch much on Algebra)
1. 2^(x-1) = 23(6)^3x

I have done this two ways.. both with different answers.
Way 1: 0.086957^(x-1) = 6^3x Now right from the bat I am not certain I can divide the base by 23..
log(0.086957)^(x-1) = log6^3x
(x-1)log0.086957 = 3x(log6)
xlog0.086957 - log0.086957 = 3xlog6
xlog0.086957 - 3xlog6 = log0.086957
x(log0.086957 - 3log6) = log0.086957
x= log0.086957/ (log0.086957 - 3log6)
x= 0.3124

OR
Way 2: 0.086957^(x-1) = 6^3x
log(0.086957)^(x-1) = log6^3x
(x-1)log0.086957 = 3x(log6)
*Divide both sides by log(0.086957)*
x-1 = 3x (-0.7336)
x-1 = 2.2008x
-1 = 1.2008x
x= -1.2

I don’t know which is right.. or if neither of them are.

Question two: For
log*base 3*X + log*base 2* 5 = log*base 7* 12
I just trial and errored to get
log*base 3*X + 2.32 = 1.277
x = 0.3179
Is that the correct way to solve for x? Sorry for the untidiness.
Okay, I worked it out so I now have (x-1)log(2) = log23 + xlog6 but I have no idea where to go from there.. And I cannot use Ln since we didn’t learn them in class yet, and he doesn’t want us using them, even if we can.

We’re looking for someone reliable, honest and fair to give us estimate on replacing our Aluminum siding with Vinyl.

Any good referals?

amanda m asked:


In the process of buying a home with the option to have either vinyl siding (or) hardiplank siding. Of course salesman for each are telling me different stories…….my question is……..is it true that hardiplank is a much better insulation than vinyl siding, therefore save money on electrical bills? True (or) False? Thanks

The leak is in the second story and has leaked down through my living room ceiling, creating a huge hole in the drywall. How do I track the leak, then fix when found?

I’ve been told spraying with straight bleach and a quick water rinse to take out the “blackness”. Would pressure washing to the job? Planning on using Sikkens Cetol to retreat.
