<br />2) Re-side the house. The original siding is nearly all gone except for a patch on the second floor at the <br />back that was covered by the second-story extension. This, however, does indicate that the original <br />siding was clapboard with a 4.5” reveal and that the corner trim was 3” wide. This project would remove <br />the existing large format cedar and replace it with vertical grain red spruce clapboard from the Ward <br />Clapboard Company, https://wardclapboard.com/, and with new corner trim (probably cedar for rot <br />resistance.) <br /> <br /> Figure 9 Current back, showing a) outline of extension b) new back door location c) original clapboard section <br />3) Extend the kitchen/mudroom at the rear of the house.
