It had batten boards over the quarter to half inch gaps between the cypress. The batten boards were removed when the building was renovated to double the width and the entire building lap sided with the exception of the front entry recess which is vertical beaded board. My plan is to re-cover the cypress with cement siding rather than remove and replace with OSB. The cypress is still very sturdy. My main concern is a building that old with very little insulation, what is my best choice under the siding. | |
