Siding the South side
Siding the West side
Clapboard
The black cube is being transformed with clapboard pre-painted to match the historic round barn and dwellings at nearby Hancock Shaker Village. Seeing this today made Susan suddenly nostalgic for the 1880s house we owned in Rhinecliff for 10 years. SIPs and glu-lams are very cool but there’s something about siding: This house is starting to look like home.
Furring strips
Furring strips will provide a backing surface and a ventilation gap between the SIPs and the exterior clapboard. The strips are glued directly to the SIPs to provide ensure strong attachment to the house. 30lb. felt paper will go over the strips, followed by the clapboard.
