@mikewieggers6337 2 года назад

I totally agree, the weathered grey would look great with the black. As an added plus, the post and timbers that make up the front gable would act as an accent to the front of your home. In contrast to the grey and black, the timbers would pop!

@CJ-tx8nu 2 года назад

One thing to take into consideration when defending your structure against wildfires are the eve, soffit, foundation and gable vents. Embers can get in and ignite materials even in settings like yours where there is plenty of defensible space. There are vents that are essentially spark arrestors and will expand and close off as heat increases. This in addition to a sprinkler system can make a huge difference

@LadyTSurvival 2 года назад

I was thinking sprinkler system as well, BUT... If wildfires approach, the power will be cut off. Then no sprinklers unless it's solar powered, if the wildfire takes out the solar.... Again no sprinklers. There is no perfect solution, but making your landscaping fire resistant will help. Rock mulch, no big bushy plants up close etc. You could even make a road all the way around the house and gravel it so that it's a firebreak as well as a circle drive.

@LadyTSurvival 2 года назад

Eaves and soffets can be constructed from metal siding.

@18rcurry 2 года назад

Do you plan on building a Firebreak around the outermost perimeter of your property and even consider a second Firebreak into the property from the perimeter tiebreak should you decide to do this. Along with other Possible recommendations you have received.

Sprinklers are all well and good, but embers getting blown into the vents( which will need to be installed to prevent mold in the attic) so the spark arresting vents will be a must.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the others too, but like you said, the gray is not only more of a coastal look, but it’s more of a modern look. And the darker one would tie into your currently standing barn. You don’t want that barn to stick out like a sore thumb. Dark brown!

@ddg4bob 2 года назад

A great alternative and a most productive trip. This feel like a tremendous burden off of your shoulders. I also vote ufor the dark brown. And, the suggestions you received about preventing embers from bypassing the concrete siding and finding their way into your wooden infrastructure were excellent. Soffit, facia, vents; all are vulnerabilities. Jeremy, time to put on your fireman's helmet and and assess your home's survivability as a bunker against heat and flame. A limited sprinkler system might be a creative and effective defense. I picture a cloud of spray thrown up around your house by a series of strategic placed nozzles, some even installed in the surrounding landscape. Good luck.

The siding looks like a very good option for your build. The grey looks really nice. For fire protection also look into eve and soffit protection. After the Camp fire that burned Paradise, CA. is was found, many structures that burned had fire retardant roofs and siding. The fires made it into the structure through the eves and soffit.

I love the fact that you always include the kids in your life events. Making memories are what life is about, opportunities sometimes only happen once and if we forget to take them they are lost forever. As a dad I missed many opportunities in doing things with my kids to earn money so I could afford to do things with them but I enjoyed the time we did spend doing the things we did together. Most importantly is just being there for your children because when they are no longer kids that time is gone forever and all you have is the memories... Making memories that last a life time is huge!!!

@wallykramer7566 2 года назад

Several thoughts come to mind: 1. Is fireproof siding justified? There are open plains around your house. Some well timed lawn and field mowing might be enough to keep the house safe. 2. Choose the color which *feels* most right. Ignore logic and reason for the _color_ because the color will feed the soul-the material reassures the mind but the inspiration comes through the soul. 3. Will having multiple siding patterns make it appear "busy"? What about KISS (keep it simple, stupid) for a more tranquil and peaceful effect? I spent a few days driving around Missoula. Their traffic patterns _are_ infuriating-especially during commuting hours. It is like they copied the worst aspects of Portland/Vancouver's traffic congestion.

That siding really looks like awesome stuff. One thing I would consider is that the grey house you looked at is exactly what any barn wood that has been weathered for a long period of time would look like. It may look beachy to you but if you are looking realism that would be my choice with the darker grey border and it looks better with black windows.

You absolutely picked the right material for your house. It will look spectacular and be safe from wild fires. A modern solution. But for the color, that is a hard one. Don't rush it. I would wait and muse about it for a few weeks. I believe one will arise as a clear winner.

The grey will look great. I think that siding is the best choice for your home in that area, or for any area. Have a feeling the no left turns help prevent wrecks.

Yep, I'd go with that...Lol. Personally, in a frame house situation, I would've looked for concrete enhanced products anyways. They're more maintenance free, longer lasting, and pest/ fire resistant. Hardi board/ plank products are very popular here in Florida. I like the wood tones mixed with the grays. Horizontal bottom, vertical top. 🙂👍

I do love the grey but! The dark brown is awesomeness for your build, it just ties everything together.

I built log homes for several years using long yellow pines thru a company based out of Irmo South Carolina and am impressed by this product. Thank you for the insight.
