Last week we were thrilled to see the siding go up on the house. The carpenters are using a cement fiber board with a 5 1/2" reveal which is very close to the original siding. Even though there are many good reasons to use Hardieboard, we were so concerned all along about the reveal being too high. The big pieces of siding used on new construction just weren't going to work on the Vance house. Too much reveal would take away the historic feel of the home. So the general contractor, Ronnie, worked with us on it; and now we are all pleased with the outcome. This makes us very excited to pick out paint colors!!
