Looks good. I need to work on the outside of mine too. It was sided in raw plywood and painted red about thirty years ago. Some of it still looks okay, but there is serious warp and rot in a few places. The only thing that keeps those parts square is that I insulated behind them and sheathed the inside in OSB.

The material I installed is a preprimed OSB t1-11. It worked very well! it had board and batten that had weather and carpenter bee damage. I removed the batten and installed sheeting over the original boards..

Good job Jason,
I actually thought the first pic was the improvement
I liked that rustic look

I'm curious on what it looks like now with the door slid open,
you know with the new door and window

I'm just now getting use to using sliding doors for the first time at my place!
on a little smaller scale that is

Just need some real big ole Antlers mounted over the door,
painted white of course

The door/ the doors are four sections. The center two doors jack-knife out, then the exterior two sections roll open. The new window gets blocked just slightly and the entry door does not.. The opening is 18' wide and about 11' high..


Nice improvement!
Thanks!!

Jason, I`d go with the old sign, maybe spray it with some clear coat to protect it from the weather......... :thumright:
