I would be calling the local building department. This sounds like a bad
idea to me. I know that when doing roofing at a point it is time to strip
it
down and start fresh. Stripping your home down to the structure would
allow
for new windows,insulation and other systems to be installed. The trim
details around doors and windows would look natural. Not built out

I have to agree. Considering the age of the house, you don' t know what is
hiding under all that stuff. It would be safer to remove it and see the
condition of the structure and not just seal in rot that can cause serious
problems in a few years.
