Ron Brenner Architects All siding materials are James Hardie. We used a pale yellow on the horizontal siding and a linen white on the accent areas. I no longer have the exact colors available.
Ron Brenner Architects Thanks for the question. The horizontal siding is James Hardie, fiber cement lap siding. The vertical board and board siding in the gables is made with James Hardie, fiber cement sheets with 5/4x6 CMi, MiraTec boards placed over the sheets at 12" on center.
Are bay windows outdated? - Just bought a ranch house with an addition. 2 large windows to the left of the front door, one to the right then a deck with sliders. The house overlooks the water. We need to replace the windows on each side of the door. Right now they are bow windows. Any suggestions for the new windows? »
6. Replace an outdated AC system. With the summer months approaching, now is the perfect time to assess air-conditioning systems. If you are installing or replacing central air, look for an Energy Star label with a seasonal energy-efficiency ratio (SEER) of 13 or greater, which is the new standard, though older models are still being sold. New window air conditioners are nearly twice as efficient as older ones, so springing for a new unit could cut your home cooling bill in half this summer. Look for an energy-efficiency ratio (EFR) of 10 or more for window AC units.
Tranquility on a warm summer evening.
