I plan to skin out "Baby Bear" and "Mama Bear" with wide plank WP B&B... Then shoot the interior with closed cell foam... Lock it up tight. Then sort out the interior. Probably a combo of boiled linseed and 0W-16 motor oil. (I have a suspicion that the bars and other critters might naw on the straight linseed). Testing now. Fasteners are not yet solved. Nice view.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Vinyl board and batten & vinyl shakes. 1200 sq ft cabin. Hardie board and batten would have been $15k more The barn metal guys are now starting to crimp metal in board and batten around here. I like that option. The exterior doors are fiberglass and will be gel stained to match the wood on the back. There will also be a stained wood 8x8 on the front porch corner

If you build a wood frame house down here, you won't have much left in thirty years. Lol.

Hardin284, the house picture you posted brings up another matter. Carpenter Bees! I like the look of wood but the home we had in Michigan was significantly damaged by those bastards. Do any of you have any idea how to prevent them from destroying the wood on the exterior of a home?

Carpenter bee traps and I think there is something you can spray on the wood that helps. They do suck. They can bore a 3/8” hole in no time

A mix of brick an stone looks good, purely a personal choice, most brick manufacturers make thin brick either cut down full size or cast in thinner profile. There are a number of "fake stone" manufacturers out there, i would not got with any vinyl stone prefer cement type cast stone more durable; look at Culture Stone, El Dorado to name a few they have a wide selection of stone types. You can do a mix of these both are applied over lath with a scratch coat, thin brick typically needs a brown coat to create a more level base. I'd recommend you explore using an AWRB ( air water resistive barrier)on you sheathing to prevent potential damage from incidental water intrusion. You'll want one that is self sealing the holes from fasteners for trim and lath, NOT TYVEK or ZIPWALL!!!. Take a look at mag oxide (Multi Panel) sheathing a bit more expensive but non combustible and vermin proof. Dupont makes a product called ArmorWall very nice option giving you CI ( continuous insulation) again a bit more money, CI is most efficient way to insulate your home. Whatever you choose be sure you contractor is reputable use high quality awrb and installs flashings to manufacturers recommations. Like everything else buy once cry once. Be glad to answer to any questions you might have, I work more on commercial side but residential is pretty much the same in principal.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

Thanks again everyone for your comments. I will look into these various products and talk with the contractor.
