When the Lake Whatcom Cabin leaves our shop next week it will have a good amount of the siding complete. In these pics you can see the beginnings of what will be a siding package composed of all Cedar trim, Hardie horizontal lap siding and Hardie panels, over a rainscreen. You can see the vertical fur-out strips over the building paper. These strips allow the siding to sit just off of the building so that air may circulate behind the siding skin, reducing the possibility of moisture penetration and damage behind the building paper and structure of the home.The set date has been set for next Thursday Sept. 24th. The site framing is also wrapping up within the next few days in preparation for set.
