[DIY] Re: Painting Mobile home walls

Hospitals (and maybe other commercial bldgs?) used a teflon-coated wall vinyl, in some areas. Maybe mobile homes did also? It might require stripping, or just panel over it?

Re: [DIY] Siding and Window Replacement

I had this done to my house. I removed all wood siding, added additional insulation and weatherproofing, installed new windows and went back with hardi-plank siding. The hardi-plank was the best idea and I would do it again. I had all of this done at the same time by the same contractor.

My house was built in 1955 and had wood siding which was covered with aluminum siding maybe 30 years ago. I will be replacing a patio door and one window. All the rest have been replaced already. I want the siding to be replaced also. I would like to know what should be done first, siding or window. If possible I would like a smaller window. It is above a bathtub. And suggestions as to siding choices? Our garage has vinyl which was installed about ten years ago when we had a new garage built. Both are white. Should the aluminum siding on the house be taken off before new is installed? Should the original wood siding be kept on?

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks,
