I am installing a generator inlet with existing double 4 Vinyl siding. It is 4”x6” reliance pb30. Does anyone know the best mounting block to use? Or better solutions?

We are siding a house and are looking for a navy blue type color. We are having a hard time finding a Navy Blue that is not gray or greenish.

We have looked at: Pacific, Marine, and Midnight Blue from Certainteed and Deep Water and Steel Blue from Norandex. Can anyone provide some feedback of brands or suggestions, it would be appreciated.

My wife and I had a contractor out yesterday and for our 1600 sq/ft house he quoted approx 30k for the James Hardy siding. Is this normal?

We live in the Denver Metro area.

Hi everybody,

I live in Florida and am replacing the siding on a 1940's wood frame bungalow. I've pulled the old siding, and am down to just exposed studs. Should I cover all of the exposed exterior studs with plywood, then vapor barrier, then siding?

On a side not, I'm considering having blown-in cellulose insulation, maybe after the plywood is up but before housewrap. Let me know your thoughts on this too.

Anyone ever heard about someone putting new tongue in groove Vinyl over old aluminum existing siding?

I have a huge lot of old 1/2" thick, 8" wide, 6' long cedar planks from my in laws old fence. Is there any way I could use these to side my new 8x10 shed which has 8 foot high walls?

Good morning. I made an unpleasant discovery this week as we got the first of our annual springtime rains. When we bought this house a few years ago the basement was partially finished and I just finished tearing it all out and roughing in new framing for bedrooms. I happen to go downstairs during a rain storm and noticed water running down the concrete wall. I pulled back the insulation and holy rot batman! The underside of the siding is visible from basement as the sheathing has disintegrated and the surrounding wood is wrecked.

I already know I am going to have to pull the siding, redo sheathing and do some floor repairs, as well as add some gutters.

For now, what is the best way to avoid more water coming in? It seems like both the siding was installed incorrectly as well as the roof flashing. Can I cut the flashing back and slide a kickout under the siding and roof shingles? Will that be enough?

Any thoughts or direction will be incredibly helpful, thanks! Luckily we have a few days before the next rain storm so I have some time to tackle this.
