Hi John, This house was built in 1967. The Cedar siding has been replaced twice as well as the roof. All new windows were replaced twice as well. It's now getting a Hardy board exterior and metal standing seam roofing .I did that on my Houston home and it has weathered many a hurricane in fine fashion. All of the batten insulation has been removed and a spray in type will replace it, sealed with a vapor barrier in between the drywall and insulation. Very tight and eliminates bugs and mice as the weather turns cold. I have been doing the demo myself. Unbelievable how many bugs and rodents have lived in the winters over the last 57 years. I have gutted the entire lower floor and I have not found a thing that I regret removing. I started removing the plaster last fall. One day I was watching the computer and my wife screamed like bloody murder. A 36 inch fox snake fell from the ceiling! It apparently found a way in and ate mice during the winter. They are a constrictor type of killer. That freaked both of us out! Bob
