Problem: homeowner's house has a large unclad section of exposed concrete foundation/wall at bottom. He'd like it covered with siding.
Remainder of house has standard horizontal shiplap siding. I'm trying to figure out how to attach siding to the exposed concrete sections.
Along one wall I *could* furr out the wall and attach siding to the furring strips; there's a "bulge" there anyhow that needs to be capped somehow.
The problem is the adjoining wall, where the existing siding appears to be attached directly to the concrete wall. (How I don't know.) On this section, what if a guy were to drill for anchors, then screw each board to the concrete wall individually?
All this assumes the standard precautions: cover wall with vapor barrier, use siding pre-primed on both sides, etc.
Siding is 1x8, what the local yards call "V-rustic", shiplap with chamfered edges to form V-grooves between adjacent boards. (Stuff is expen$ive, I can tell you that. And forget about redwood: ain't available any more.)
What d'you think?
