Comment on A Message to Manufacturers by George F

Well,I must admit that what you say is true. Manufacturer’s truly have a leg up if they provide us with easy access to details, information, which is simple and direct. It is truly frustrating to select the architect section of a website and find nothing useful or a blank email to contact them.

I just visited your blog for the first time and thought it was pretty good. Keep up the good work.

Comment on Cement vs. Cedar - Hardie Wins by Mark R. LePage, AIA, LEED AP

Mary Kay:

From Ben Moore, what do you think about Sea Pine (AC-17), Smokey Mountain (AC-1 or Galveston Gray (AC-27)? I just sent these colors to a client looking for colors for her cedar siding. I like ‘em all.

The “weathered” part of your request is more difficult. Weathered shingles are very inconsistent in their shading. Hardie siding is a lot of things, but inconsistent, its not.

Hello,
I just built a house with Hardie Shingle Siding.
I want it to look more like real shingle siding.
Do you have any suggestions on a good paint color to make it look like a weathered shingle?
Thanks.
