I still like aluminum siding a WHOLE lot better than vinyl.
Vinyl is cheap, easy to replace and maintain, but it's also easy to
damage, flutters in high winds, and doesn't give a sense of confidence
in the overall structure.
I like my houses to have brick siding. Just looks and and feels
solid. Costs more but worth it in my opinion.
Rock is free here just for the pickin' it up ... maybe that's why they
call it Stone County . My house currently under construction will have
rock technically Arkansas field stone up to the bottom of the windows ,
split white oak shakes above . If I can figure out how to make uniform
splits ... might just have to make use of the machine shop to build a device
to do that since I know of no one around here doing that . Maybe a
horizontal band saw , that'd leave a nice rough finish .
