"Lil' Dave" - Re: hardy board for a roof
- Even though a roofing material would be tempting, don't do it. The warranty
for the siding is transferrable. So use it in that fashion. See the
jameshardie.com website for warranty and installation procedures. You have
lap siding of unknown surface texture. A shed with such siding, if properly
applied, will easily outlast the wood siding counterpart.

Maybe I shouldn't admit it, but I've already used the stuff on a roof.
It was a temporary measure and it was the _available_ free material. I
also used plastic roof cement, webbing, and long roofing nails. It was a
large patch over existing shingles. I don't know if it's still holding
up, but I know it lasted through a couple of storms afterw...

"JerryD\(upstateNY\)" - Re: RV electric
- On a RV board, they were talking about electric service to RV's.
Usually they have a 30 amp service, plus a 50 amp service, in some places.
The 30 amp service is 120 volts.
I understand the 50 amp service is 240 volts.
If there were a 50 amp double pole main breaker, wouldn't that give you a
100 amp service ?
I looked at my service here and there is a 200 amp main breaker.
Is the br...

"M Sullivan" - Re: Looking for ideas - covering up Blueskin
- I'm referring to the 2-3 feet between the ground and the siding around the
perimiter. The rest of the house is sided with sand colored vinyl siding.
Most homes in the neighbourhood are wood construction on concrete
foundations, so the foundation that is above the ground is usually partly
black from the waterproofing tar substance, the rest is natural concrete. I
do know that there...
