American Foursquare Restoration

This section of house was so bad I decided to just rip off the old clapboard and replace with new. I'm using Tyvek and I have to say I really like the stuff over tar paper. It goes on easily and doesn't tear, and I like the tape as well. The stuffs not cheap though.

I bought some clapboard (clear 1/2x6x14) at a lumberyard close to my house and painted both sides with oil base paint. If the rain holds off, I'll be installing on Fri. There's a small roof that fits above the windows with a crown underneath. Should look nice when complete.
