Patrick: I've had another question down here. Tim? <br />Klusczinski: And maybe Todd has more familiarity with this, but aren't there vapor barriers that <br />you install on the inside walls over the wallcovering? And I'm not suggesting a windbreak, <br />which would go on the exterior side of the house because a vapor barrier should go on the inside <br />and sometimes that's 6 mil polyethylene. ' But, the after or the um, old construction alternative <br />goes on like a wallpaper, and that sufficiently keeps the moisture from penetrating the wall cavity <br />to incur things like mold infestation. <br />Sporleder: But you're talking about on the inside? Not on the outside? <br />Klusczinski: Yes. Vapor barriers don't go on the outside. Right, but windbreaks do, and that's <br />the tyvek wrap and stuff like that, so they breathe moisture, but the vapor barrier prohibits <br />moisture, so there is another way of accomplishing it. Just so everyone knows. <br />Culp: Can I say something? <br />Patrick: Yes. <br />Culp: The idea of removing the asphalt shingle would be the first consideration however, we <br />don't know what it beneath them on the home. So if we start to remove them with that plan, <br />there's no guarantee that we're going to recover clapboard on the entire home. The vinyl siding <br />seems like the best option to make the home complete and whole again. That's why we wanted to <br />go that particular route there over the asphalt shingle that's on the house now. Having <br />purchased the house forX amount of dollars, the budget is limited because of the appraised <br />value. <br />Patrick: What is the appraised value? <br />Culp: I'm anticipating it to be in the mid -70's when all is said and done. It's not been appraised <br />yet because the home's not complete, but once it's complete, we'll have the official appraisal. <br />Preliminary market research is... <br />Patrick: Is this being bought, to turn or to rent? <br />Culp: It's going to be sold. <br />Patrick: Hmm-hmm. I would think that someone buying a house in a historic district would <br />prefer to have the original siding. I know that there's no guarantees that there's going to be <br />clapboard under there, but I'll bet that there probably is. <br />Hostetler: On the original part of the house, but these many subsequent additions... <br />Culp: At least half of the house is additions. <br />DePalma: That was our fear in tearing off anything. <br />Patrick: Even if they restored part of it ... and didn't find clapboard on the back, just do siding on <br />the additions, Todd. <br />Zeiger: It's not just up to me. <br />Patrick: I know, I'm just asking your opinion. <br />Zeiger: I'm sorry, I have a bad voice today. Ijust wanted to clarify what the application is that <br />we're really considering. What's on the application in front of us is siding, painting windows, <br />soffits and facing, or facia as we're calling it. What I'm understanding you're really proposing is <br />siding the house, and building out all of the jambs. That's different than what you applied for <br />and what's in front of us. Am I correct in what I'm stating back to you in that you're proposing <br />to build out all of those jambs? <br />DePalma: In a way, I thought that it would make you a little happier. <br />Zeiger: Doesn't matter what makes us happy or not, I'm trying to understand what the <br />application is at this point. To answer your question Lynn, it probably would be possible to <br />expose the clapboard siding on the original part of the house, and then do some sort of a match <br />of color with different siding on the additions if its not there. There are lots of different ways to <br />do construction. They are going to have issues with regard to the blown -in insulation in those <br />walls though. <br />Patrick: What do you mean? <br />Zeiger: It holds (possibly 'pulls') water. <br />Patrick: Yeah. <br />9j <br />
