Not sure our plan... there is very old wood siding under...this definitely makes residing a priority though...
@greybeard asked my question. I ASSUME it is. Wood siding doesn't generally rip off like vinyl, wood is much stronger. And ... maybe I'm weird, but I don't think putting vinyl directly over wood siding is a good idea. It isn't going to sit right and I would GUESS be more likely to tear because of that.

It's one of the downsides to vinyl siding unless it is really high quality (thick) vinyl. It's generally so thin that wind can get between the seams and start tearing it loose from the fasteners.
The upside is it's low cost and ease to install.

It's aluminum over the wood...but I also found vinyl trim pieces in the yard so am guessing it's been repaired before... will probably replace it with vinyl.... but take everything thing off then a house wrap. I am thinking DH said the wood would stay?? But I know our previous farm house we took all the layers of siding off (there was 4,5 I think)

Coffee is on. Sunny and 23°

Keurig is hot.
It's 43° here right now.
House is ready to start receiving visitors so if any of you are passing through stop in for coffee, hot coca, ice cold bottled water or just to chat.

I do my morning check while my coffee brews. This mornings check found raccoon destruction. I had one dead hen and one hen I had to finish off. By time I got done cleaning up the mess and skinning the hen I had to dispatch, my coffee pot had shut of... So insult to injury is microwaved coffee, and I found out we are out of cream. Oooh, if I find out who put that empty carton back in the fridge....

29° and overcast. 100% humidity. Chances of mixed percipitation all day. The roads are slick so school was cancelled, so I must grudgingly assume my role as my family's free daycare service.

That raccoon will be back, better secure the coop like Fort Knox. Sorry about the hens, I love wildlife, but not when they go after livestock.

I like wildlife too... It's tasty. Put it in a crock pot, add some spices, bell peppers, onions and barbeque sauce and coon makes the best "pulled pork" sandwich you'll ever eat.
