Ahhh the joys of owning an old house... Looking forward to seeing the new siding. I`m sure it will make the house look decades younger :)

But i’ld hate to cover the upper siding but it’ll be more efficient and all when done and we’re hoping to sell it in the fall

Ah I see. Yeah fresh sidding will help to sell it/ boost the curb appeal. Good luck!
 
Civicclutch- Yikes, what a job-o`-work!

Are you definitely gonna cover up that scalloped woodwork?

And, noting that it`s already a big project, I can`t help but wonder how it`d look if the enclosed front porch were opened back up (at the expense of that front room it provides).

Yes the scalloped will be getting covered. And there are already plans to make the porch an open porch although a 3 season porch would bring more money upon sale of house, just don’t have the time or $ for it at this point.

Civicclutch- OK...sigh ; ...but I do understand about your having to keep the job in the black.

I do like that the porch will get opened back up.

(Accumulator grew up in/around old houses that had lots of character you just don`t see these days.)
 
I wish you the best on your project. I have to agree with LED, owning a old home is a love/hate relationship. My home was built in 1909 and bought it in 2009. My house is 90% brick and whoever before me purchasing it started the outside project, new roof, trim and siding on a few places that were later additions. The yard needed help, but the interior was run down, spent 3 months everyday working on the inside prior to moving in. Luckily for me my father was a contactor and I worked and learned a lot with him, so mostly only material cost and my time. My father in law and I, replaced drywall, subflooring, etc. I took a sledge hammer to the kitchen, all new, and fully redid 3 full baths.

I too want to see how this turns out. After you may not want to sell!

Dave.
 
Ah, don`t you just love the old brittle asbestos concrete siding?

I`m an old house fan myself, just more character than brand new. The house I`m in now was built in `52 and is actually a little newer than I like.
 
Heh heh, never occurs to me what might be considered "old" :D I still think of "old houses" as having lath-and-plaster/boiler heat/etc. The house I grew up in was built in the `20s, and it was newer than many back then. I had a rude awakening when I bought my first place, it`s like these days *nothing* is built the way everything used to be; thirty years later I`m still getting used to, uhm...modern construction materials and techniques...to put it politely.
 
Here’s an update siding and other materials are finally delivered today thanks to the Wisconsin bipolar weather
