We plan to use two different types of siding on the house, and the pictures in this post document the first. We are installing Nichiha smooth lap cement siding with a 4" reveal. Because of the height of the house, the guys are installing the siding, priming, caulking, and painting one side at a time. Then they will move the scaffolding to the next side and do the same. We painted the siding with Amherst Gray by Benjamin Moore.
