Finally having siding re-done from last years hail....(They dug a little deep on removal)

[USMC88-93]

They dug a little deep on removal under a window (One of their crew didn't know how deep to tear off nothing like seeing your interior lath and plaster when they are supposed to be working outside.) Other than that they have made a lot of progress in a couple of days. In the home stretch and roof next.

Stick some insulation in there quick before they close that up.

That Greenguard looks like insulation board. That company also makes a house wrap, but I can't imagine they're using two layers of house wrap, and two different brands.

Before the wrap went up, it looked like they were using remnants from all their other jobs. Like 3 or 4 brands of that matting under the large white wrap....I'll get pix later.

Hmm, interesting. So does the house not have insulation in the walls then? That's not as uncommon as people think. Family owns a farm house in Wheat Ridge built in the 1940's. Also has lathe and plaster. Total pain to deal with.

Believe it to be "celotex" fiber board (Also presumably asbestos containing). There is no insulation within the walls other than that black wall board on the exterior the cavities themselves are open. The house was originally built with a coal furnace so you were basically roasting in an oven in the winter i presume and the insulation did not matter as much as the convection of the cold air returns and the heater vents circulating the air.

Funny part is that last 3 feet on the back of the house was an extension added to the home in the mid 50's I have no idea as to why someone would go to the effort of adding 3 feet on to a house. If you were going to that kind of efort you might as well add full rooms on.... You can see the different roof line over it and the open space on the back where it sits on a cinder block foundation...

I bet the 3' was a deck. Now it is enclosed.

Should have pulled all the exterior off and insulated while you could.

Nope it was a legit, "hey we have some spare parts lets cut the back of the house off and add 3 feet" addition.

No real opportunity to do so as "pulling it off" would have cost me both in materials (whatever that would have been in place of the celotex), and the contractor time. I will have to do the typical cut the holes and blow stuff in from the interior whenever I get around to it.

I've got to say, that is a charming house. :)

Did they walk along the lawn afterward with one of those wide magnet things, to pick up some of the nails?
