Our house is ICF construction and was covered in vinyl siding when we built it. Time has rocked on and the sun has made some of the pieces brittle and cracking particularly on the south side of the house. Wife has decided we are going to replace the siding with metal barn roofing so it matches my workshop. I priced 70 sheets of 10'2" yesterday and 1200 color matched screws at Builder's Discount Center in Lumberton NC at around $2700. Same from my local Lowes store was $4500 even with my "friends and family" discount.

We are going to put 4 courses of 1"x1/8" aluminum flat bar around the house attached to the vertical plastic ribs in the ICF blocks to give us something to attach the metal panels to.

I'll post pictures as this progresses. The heat has broken and it's time to get the outdoor projects done.
