| Hello:
|
| Live in New England and will be geting a new siding job.
| Siding will be the typical horizontal clapboard style.
| Guess Cedar is the de-facto type of wood for this.
|
| What type of quality level is most common in New England ?
|
| Am confused over what the contractors are saying.
|
| Do I want just "clear Cedar"

if is going to have a clear coat





| Or Red Cedar ?
| Or,... ?
|
| What "quality level" should I be specifying ?
|
| Any help on this would be most appreciated.

| Really don't know much about this kind of thing, and would like to
have
| written into
| the contract an appropriate type and quality level.
|
| BTW: I looked pretty thoroughly but can't seem to find a cross
sectional
| view of a "water board".

try looking for a "water table"




| The trim piece wood that when used goes below the lowest piece of
horiz.
| clapboard.
| Anyone know a link for ?
|
| Thanks,
| Bob
