Hey, it's 5" siding!
So we have been driving around trying to guess which houses have 5" siding... And here it is on our own house! Guess it was meant to have larger siding! We will be using LPSmartside, the smooth surface, for our siding as I can get a great price for it through work. House looks like it is in shambles, but this is just the beginning of demo! And yes, there is lead paint in the outside paint, but thankfully not inside! Tom, our builder for the reno, took care of it as he is certified to remove lead paint. New laws in the US require contractors to take classes on becoming certified in lead paint removal.
ripping out the carpet... nice- hardwood floors
We got the go ahead to take the carpeting out... And found maple hardwood floors throughout the house. The 2 rooms without it is the studio and kitchen, where there are asbestos tiles. We have decided to leave them and put new flooring over them as it carries a huge price tag to remove them. The hardwoods we plan to fill in where there are gaps and staples/stains and have them refinished.
