Hello there fellow ambitious "do-it-yerselfers" ;-) I come here looking to see if anyone here is familiar with vertical siding with the wood "look" to it? Not to be confused with solid colors with the wood grain appearance. I must mention that I am only the, "Do it yourselfer" assistant (like Robin is to Batman lol) therefore, not to be confused with a know what they are doing, information retaining, brain behind the project person...that would be my husband. I'm just the scout and occasionally like to make myself out to be the on-site 'supervisor' a.k.a. "all talk-no action" LOL You know, the typical white-hat type. ;-D Okay, now that I think that I have given a fair assessment of myself... we are finally looking at vinyl siding to complete our "do-it yourself" total house building project <--total understatement! lol. We've grown tired of our current S.E. Alaska siding which is quite popular here: Tyvek. While it makes for great advertisement...by no means aesthetic to ones eye:-D I'm sure that our local property tax assement man has been also awaiting for our home to develope the completed look as well. lol Anyway, we are hoping to purchase 12 ft. span vertical siding in the wood look. Thus far we have only found 2 companies that carry such a look in vinyl siding and in the vertical: Cedar Lane and one company located in Canada. My question is, is anyone here familiar with other companies that sell a product similar to this? Cedar Lane produces 5 choices and neither of them quite visually suit us. Any information would greatly appreciated. Thanks much, ~p2 D.I.Y. home builder assistant and still living to talk about it. lol
