Hello all -

Speaking of siding, I don't care for cheap vinyl "strip siding". I've
seen some newer-design products by Certainteed and Nailite that use a
heavier plastic (polypropylene) with molded designs that mimic
individually-installed shingles (and do a very good job at it,
too). Anyone tried this stuff? Opinions?

Great stuff.
