Which is cheaper vinyl siding or redo the cedar shakes on my house?

Thursday, April 24th, 2008
mobgirl asked:


There is almost 2,000 square feet to cover on my house. I don’t know if it would be better for me to do vinyl siding or just replace the cedar shakes that I have on my house. Does anyone know how much it would cost for each one? I’m in Ohio.

Vinyl siding cleaners?

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008
Mushie asked:


Does anyone have a home “concoction” for cleaning Vinyl siding on my house. A new home was built on the North side and now I have a Green tint powder like stuff on the siding which needs more than just a water wash.

vinyl siding question?

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008
mr. y asked:


i know a lot of the tricks to doing vinyl siding .but what do you do when your using new construction windows that have the J-channel built in.when you slide the siding behind it what keeps the weather/water from getting between the siding and window?its not weather tight.if you seal around it doesn’t that affect the siding from being able to float or move so it won’t buckle.also ive been looking at a lot of newlt built houses in the area that are vinyl sided and have noticed a lot of them were done horribly,the siding was very wavy.i can under stand older houses being covered vinyl siding having waves/buckles in them,but new houses,whats going on?are they all like this because im paying more attention to it now that im siding or what.plus anymore hints at siding much appreciated

What is the easiest and the best paint sprayer for restaining our cedar siding?

Friday, April 18th, 2008
gardenwitch_2000 asked:


It’s just too humid in Maine to hand paint the house this summer. My husband and I have seen many commercials for paint sprayers but we would love to hear from others who have bought and used different brands before we go out and spend the money.

I am building a house up in the mountains and would like to get that cedar sided look but don’t want to spend the money. What are some good alternatives that don’t require a lot of maintenance (besides T111)?

Porch project, can I cut already installed vinyl siding? If so how?

Monday, April 14th, 2008
rnedavis1 asked:


I’m planning to enclose my front porch this year. What I have is a covered front porch, roughly 6′x 11′.Two 6×6 posts holding up the gable porch roof, concrete pad base.The project itself is pretty basic, three wall panels of 2×4 frame construction, but here’s my problem. The house has vinyl siding.And I know next to nothing about working around/with vinyl siding.I’m going to have to attach the ends of the two side enclosure walls to the house sheathing and that vinyl at least some of it is in the way.Can I cut a trough through the siding on the two sides to attach the porch walls to the house, or does whole sections have to be removed? Btw, the porch enclosure will be sided with vinyl too so I’ll have to make sure I don’t damage the existing siding. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks!

log mathamatics?

Sunday, April 6th, 2008
cc rider asked:


3200 = 5700(0.6)^t
You can take log of both sides
log 3200 = log5700 + t*log0.6 This is a linear equation in t
so t= 1.130161327 with the simplest scientific calculator

can you please demostrate how to get this number using TI-83
