As we get closer to getting our home build dried in we are reconsidering the plans we had for the outside of the house. We wanted to build a log cabin, but now we are searching for a better alternative. Check out what we found here www.everlogs.com/

One thing to take into consideration when defending your structure against wildfires are the eve, soffit, foundation and gable vents. Embers can get in and ignite materials even in settings like yours where there is plenty of defensible space. There are vents that are essentially spark arrestors and will expand and close off as heat increases. This in addition to a sprinkler system can make a huge difference
@LadyTSurvival
@LadyTSurvival 3 жыл бұрын
I was thinking sprinkler system as well, BUT... If wildfires approach, the power will be cut off. Then no sprinklers unless it's solar powered, if the wildfire takes out the solar.... Again no sprinklers. There is no perfect solution, but making your landscaping fire resistant will help. Rock mulch, no big bushy plants up close etc. You could even make a road all the way around the house and gravel it so that it's a firebreak as well as a circle drive.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the others too, but like you said, the gray is not only more of a coastal look, but it’s more of a modern look. And the darker one would tie into your currently standing barn. You don’t want that barn to stick out like a sore thumb. Dark brown!

I love the fact that you always include the kids in your life events. Making memories are what life is about, opportunities sometimes only happen once and if we forget to take them they are lost forever. As a dad I missed many opportunities in doing things with my kids to earn money so I could afford to do things with them but I enjoyed the time we did spend doing the things we did together. Most importantly is just being there for your children because when they are no longer kids that time is gone forever and all you have is the memories... Making memories that last a life time is huge!!!

A great alternative and a most productive trip. This feel like a tremendous burden off of your shoulders. I also vote ufor the dark brown. And, the suggestions you received about preventing embers from bypassing the concrete siding and finding their way into your wooden infrastructure were excellent. Soffit, facia, vents; all are vulnerabilities. Jeremy, time to put on your fireman's helmet and and assess your home's survivability as a bunker against heat and flame. A limited sprinkler system might be a creative and effective defense. I picture a cloud of spray thrown up around your house by a series of strategic placed nozzles, some even installed in the surrounding landscape. Good luck.

I was leaning towards the wood color until I saw the pole barn at the end. The gray would match that so much better and kind of tie all the buildings together (assuming you'll use the same siding for the utility shed).

The grey will look great. I think that siding is the best choice for your home in that area, or for any area. Have a feeling the no left turns help prevent wrecks.

I love the lighter golden color! I think it'll be gorgeous with the black roof and windows. I'd even make the house corners black but that's only my opinion. Y'all do what you love and either way, it'll be gorgeous 😍, it's turning out so nice! Giant hugs to you and yours! The ad and seeing y'all have fun was a joy!

What a great siding option. While the gray is quite nice, I think the "fresh" lighter, natural color would be a wonderful contrast with the windows and roof. Thank you for sharing your family time at the water slides - Those sweet smiles were contagious!

That siding really looks like awesome stuff. One thing I would consider is that the grey house you looked at is exactly what any barn wood that has been weathered for a long period of time would look like. It may look beachy to you but if you are looking realism that would be my choice with the darker grey border and it looks better with black windows.

For first safety #1 thing to look at is the roof. That is where embers land. Make sure the drainage doesn't capture leaves and do anything possible to keep the roof from burning. That metal roof was a good option.

Something else you may want to consider is a possible retention pond on property close to house,barn. Maybe run all water run off from barn, house into pond but also a water source if needed for fire department if needed. Everything is looking good.

Yep, I'd go with that...Lol. Personally, in a frame house situation, I would've looked for concrete enhanced products anyways. They're more maintenance free, longer lasting, and pest/ fire resistant. Hardi board/ plank products are very popular here in Florida. I like the wood tones mixed with the grays. Horizontal bottom, vertical top. 🙂👍

Amazing siding material. All I can think of is when Trex decking came along. It caused quite a stir! I like the grey for an ocean front home. The natural wood tones look more like a mountain lodge. So many choices! You can't go wrong. Just a matter of the look you are going for. Fire resistant, low maintenance is awesome!

You absolutely picked the right material for your house. It will look spectacular and be safe from wild fires. A modern solution. But for the color, that is a hard one. Don't rush it. I would wait and muse about it for a few weeks. I believe one will arise as a clear winner.

I really liked watching you take the trip to find a new product for your house, and at the same time carve out time for you and the children to have fun together. Also to relax away from the daily scenery and ENJOY city living again: to turn right only and see how quickly you can get from point A to point B. God bless all your days, your decisions and your down time/play time as a family!
