Comments (24)Tib...we had Certainteed. Many boards cracked. The co replaced the boards. We paid for the labor to replace them. They didn't match due to fading. House had to be repainted. They provided a few buckets of paint, lol. just a headache with all of the warranty issues. Then there was a class action suit that we chose not to participate in....yada, yada, yada. I haven't seen the issues online with the Nichiha and have considered this brand as well. lots of good stuff online about the LP Smart Siding but who really knows about that stuff in a few years. Gotta choose something sooner or later....See Morereplacing t 11 siding with hardy board
Comments (5)The Hardie board I have on my house is about 1/4" thick, and it's nailed to standard 7/16" exterior sheathing. The bottom edge of the Hardie board is set off from the foundation by the thickness of the sheathing and looks just fine. I don't think this is an issue for you whether you leave the T1-11 in place and add sheathing, or replace the T1-11 with sheathing. The only issue I would ask you about is what is the trim you currently have around windows and doors? And what happens with this trim if you change the thickness of the siding?...See MoreWainscoting (board & batten) construction dilemma..
Comments (4)All your trim needs to be considered when doing a project like this -- base, casing, window stool and apron. I prefer to have a reveal, or small setback where one component meets another, so in your case, I would hold the stiles and rails forming the paneling back (they would be thinner) from the face of the window casing. This shows a 1/8" step where the base meets the door casing, and a 1/4" step where the paneling stile meets the door casing....See Moreis there a standard size window trim, and base trim?
Comments (52)Those modern farmhouses have several commonalities that I see at first glance. Examples being (some of which were noted): white exterior, white eaves, black (metal) roofs, black window sashes with minimal white trim, Design elements, not an architectural style. large windows, Ok could be architectural if it had a better description of the type of windows and how they relate to the rest of the house. lots of windows, front porch entry, Design elements, not an architectural style. roof gables with a strong pitch and relatively minimal adornment, Now this describes an architectural element that helps define a type of house. and when there are adornments they’re natural (ie cedar), vertical or horizontal siding (or a mix), and usually a board and batten element. Again, design elements, not an architectural style. The house with the black eaves and stucco in that in one example is clearly an outlier in whatever search you ran. Why would that be an outlier? I actually left off others that were described as Modern Farmhouse but were definitely outliers. Some were painted in colors, etc. In short, what they have in common is a simple, bright exterior with a focus on getting as much natural light into the interior as possible. So does any well designed house. So how does that make it an architectural style. I’m sure there are more commonalities, but I really don’t care whether the small contingency of detractors on this forum is willing to accept the term as a style, architectural or otherwise. I just don’t understand why they can’t stay silent if they don’t care to be helpful. It truly boggles the mind. Because it isn't helpful to just throw out terms that really have no meaning. Ideally people come here not only to help their own homes but also to learn and become a bit more educated. I'm sorry if you don't think that's important....See Morebardzil
