Jim Katen Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Another mystery siding. Click to Enlarge 44.9 KB Click to Enlarge 71.9 KB It's hardboard, not OSB. Installed in '96 and in remarkably good condition.
randynavarro Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Wow. Not even a clue.. . . What'd you tell the client? Is that minimal edge checking from your first photo a concern? Or because it's 18 years old and if that's as bad as it's gotten, just a new paint job?
kurt Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Back at the start of the boom, I recall going to the lumber yard and seeing some new iteration of siding every year or so. There were a lot of fake wood sidings that were sold in 32" and 48" sections.
hausdok Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 No way to see the back - maybe up at the gable end wall in the attic? If you can see a marking, this might help: AHA01 International Falls, MN Boise Cascade AHA02 Broken Bow, OK Weyerhaeuser AHA03 Diboll, TX Temple AHA04 Roaring River, NC Abitibi/ABTCO, LP AHA05 Forest Grove, OR Forestex AHA06 Laurel, MS Masonite, IP AHA07 Catawba, SC Champion, GP Bowwater, US Plywood AHA08 Ukiah, CA Masonite, IP AHA09 Not used for siding Not used for siding AHA010 Klamath Falls, OR Weyerhaeuser AHA011 Sturgeon Falls, ONT MacMillan, Weyerhaeuser AHA012 Towanda, PA Masonite, IP AHA013 Not used Not used AHA014-19 Not used for siding Not used for siding AHA20 Klamath Falls, OR Collins
Jim Katen Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Posted March 3, 2014 A local inspector's son-in-law nailed it: http://www.collinsco.com/TruWood-collec ... ner-shake/ Looks like it's still made. I only recommended painting it. Hell, it's still on it's first paint job from 18 years ago. I'd say it's doing pretty good.

Jim Baird Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Wow. Looks like it makes up in thickness whatever it might lack in terms of durability. OTOH, there is the appearance. All I can say is what I've heard in these parts, "There's no accountin' fer taste."
