It reached (or got very close to) 90 degrees F today. Rachael brought in lemonade for the crew at 10:30 this morning to help cool things down. Despite the heat, more of the Tyvek wrap disappeared under the steadily growing field of cedar siding.
- 5/31 :: Daniel adds : That cedar siding is so good looking, are you going to paint it?
- 5/31 :: We add : It's paint-grade cedar, so because of the glue that helps keep it together, we're obligated to put some kind of protective coating on it. We were initially thinking we'd stain and seal it, but we think the UV will still pass through whatever clear sealer we use and compromise the glue. We've also been cutting and mounting it with gaps along trim to allow room for caulk, which we wouldn't do if we were hanging stain-grade cedar. This bare cedar does look good, but we're pretty confident we'll have an equally good look once the paint is on.
