I can't comment on the Timberline, but we put in Certainteed Independent. As I'm still building, I don't know how it will be from personal experience. But my builder really likes the product (he's used it on many of his houses) and so do the roofers that I hired. All said that Certainteed has a quality product. I know a lot of people here dislike CR, but Certainteed ranked well by their standards too. I also think that a 30-50 year warranty is good enough.

UPDATE!!! As outlined above, our Electrolux Pro High Speed oven failed after less than 2 ý years of use. The wave guide was burnt and the oven was deemed unrepairable. After contacting Electrolux, the best they would offer (even after assuring them I would file a small claims suit to recover the full amount) was 40 percent of the purchase price - around 800.00. This was not satisfactory to us and was a great disappointment. As a last resort, I filed a complaint with the BBB. Electrolux responded with a reiteration of their offer previously made of 40%. The BBB closed their complaint noting this was an "unsatisfactory" resolution. Within a week or two I was contacted by Electrolux offering to replace the item with the lower trim level Designer series. This would not work for us as we have a pro level oven below the speed oven and the items would not match in our new house/kitchen. After explaining to them this issue (and waiting for my original contact person to come back from Thanksgiving vacation), I contacted the person giving me this offer at the beginning of this week. She went to her boss, who authorized a Visa card for 1999.00 to be issued to us upon receipt of a letter confirming their offer along with the model number sticker. Apparently the pro icon speed oven trim level has been discontinued, at least according to Electrolux and AJ Madison website (where I purchased it originally). I was able to locate it in stock at Sears and it should be (fingers crossed) delivered in January (hoping it is truly in stock because Electrolux says their stock is low to zero). I purchased it at Sears and although I have to pay taxes on it (unlike at AJ Madison) it is worth it to me assuming it arrives! I was worried about calling AJ Madison and going that route again as that is where the defective oven came from in the first place (almost certainly not their fault but still). So SUCCESS!!! And hats off to Electrolux for standing by their product. Unfortunately, it took a lot of wrangling but the system appears to work and no lawsuit was necessary. If all goes well, I will post an update on Twitter and Facebook where I originally posted my complaint. As an aside, this oven now offers a 3 year warranty rather than the 1 year my original oven had, as long as you register it with Electrolux within 60 days of purchase. Also, I will investigate an extended warranty plan through Electrolux in case the magnetron fails again (we went through 2 and needed a 3rd). I did purchase it with my American Express which supposedly will extend the 3 year warranty to 5 years.

I used Single 7" Clapboard on an addition and remodeling of a post war bungalow and did not have a problem. I like the way the rigid insulation helps keep the vinyl from cupping, and eliminating any visible J-channel can help it not look like vinyl siding.

My roofing contractor brought full sized shingles for me to choose from. I could stand them up or lay flat next to the brick and look at different times of the day. It was immediately apparent the two greys I was considering were wrong (Cobblestone and Georgetown) and the Weathered Wood was the right choice for me.
