It has been my finding that T-111 eventually needs to be replaced. I

would
nail or screw it only. It would be tough to replace if you glue it also.
Also I would cut in to the studs and mount 1x4's diagonally from sole to

top
plate to add rigidity to the structure. IMHO this type siding is for
appearance and not to add support to the structure.



That's certainly the first time I've heard of T-111 not being suitable for
sheeting. There are a lot of buildings around that would seem to defy your
belief that it will not add rigidity to a structure. I do agree with your
point about not using construction adhesive.
