Awesome. You going to have a roof on it before winter settles in? I can think of nothing more fun than tinkering inside my new garage when it gets cold outside.
Is there not sheathing/plywood under the siding?For the vertical siding. I think they went a little overkill. It could have been 24", not 12
There is, but since it is 3/4" cedar they wanted to ensure that they were able to get good purchase, and with the 8" boards, they would have screws just going into the sheathing and not the studs. Wind loads are pretty high around here, so they went a little overkill.
Just talked to the framers. It is going to be ring shank nails. We really liked the vertical look, since we wanted it to be very different from our house.Screwed on siding? Holy cow! Here it’s applied with ring shank nails.
Wouldn’t clapboard (horizontal) cedar or Hardy plank been easier on a studded wall? I just covered old vertical 1x12 ship lapped siding on my barn (timber frame) with cedar clapboards, 6” with 4” reveal, and I really like the look.
