Thanks. Me and my wife both had it last year too. I haven't taken a test yet this time. But because of that we haven't been to the boat this weekend. But we are supposed to have a siding crew here Tuesday and I have stuff that I need to get done before they get here. They are wrapping the one garage window with aluminum and the one trim board was rotted. Well turns out there was more than just one board so had to remove all that today then cut new pieces then paint them. Still have to paint the other side and get them put up tomorrow no matter how I feel. Yeah they will be wrapped but I want additional protection just in case it leaks
 
This is what I i have going on. I'm not erecting it, but have done everything else, including tearing down a 30x50 barn with 58 ton of concrete.
It's going to hold my boat in the winters.

Lost my dad on Thursday. He died peacefully at 90 years old. My mother passed away in Feb 2019 and all he ever wanted was to be reunited with her. Now he is….we came to the boat this weekend to rest and reflect.

Dang I was really hoping you could be a little more specific and share a few more details about prepping for your siding project while possibly being sick with Covid on the “Happy 4th” thread. What color did you decide on? Material? Costs?

Our house is brick but 20 years ago we built an addition on it and that is vinyl siding so thats all we are replacing. Going with Ironstone (dark gray) with white accents.
As far as prepping I had to remove my deck. Really only had to pull the first, maybe the 2nd deck boards so they could get in there but since the deck is 20 years old I decided to start from scratch so ripped the whole thing down. Also have a window under the deck that had rotted trim that they are going to wrap with aluminum so had to replace the rotted wood. As for costs, I also had a metal roof put on my garage. That roof is pretty flat and only 32'x20'. Total for siding and roof was about $9000. That doesn't count the deck. That will be about another $2000 but I'm doing that myself.
