    Plastic? Is it modern? On TV American cornfields have wooden houses.

    Ours came with the name Cabrach. We discovered this to be gaelic, meaning mossy, and well deserved.

      House is 8 years old. I say plastic because the siding is vinyl.

        (Sorry if I'm being dim)
        We are thinking of replacing our 1962 wood with it... or alternatively repairing bits and repaint.

          Yes, plastic shiplap.

          I joke about it but it really is a great material choice for siding. Doesn’t require any maintenance, holds it’s color, lasts along time.

            Are the walls of that house original terracotta tiles? It is very attractive both inside and out.

            @Steve-Miller
            Ours is mainly brick but with three sections of tongue&groove wood

              One of the rentals is sided in cedar clapboard. It’s a huge PITA to maintain in this climate.

                Methinks they are painted/stained wood shingles.

                  Here’s a picture of TLPH in the C. Maybe you can use it to help decide what to do on your house.

                    It may also be painted asphalt shingle siding. It was popular for a while.

                      @Steve-Miller Didn't think of that. Also a possibility.
