Seems there a a lot of well informed builder types out there, thank goodness!
I'm building my house and garage, using subs of course, but trying to do some myself. The grader guy said I could help but his quote triples when the customer helps!
Growing up in Wisconsin, I became a huge Frank Lloyd Wright fan. I've visited many of his buildings and even looked into either buying an existing FLLW house or a set of plans. Big big bucks, to me anyway.
Many of his homes have hip roofs and huge overhangs, we called them soffits. Ive got hip roofs with 6 ft soffits. No more rotten wood!
Hardie board has a 4 x 8 x 1/4 sheet of their cement fiber board, sort of looks like T111. They also offer pre drilled material for soffit vents. Thats 2 x 8ft I think.
I've got lots of options but I know someone out there has a better idea than me.
thx and happy t day
