Warren,
I agree with you about the vinyl siding. I painted my house three times I think it was and decided this is to darn much work. I have had the vinyl siding on now for around 21 years and it has faded in our hot sun, but still beats the painting every other year. Plus the extra insulation the 3/4ths inch thick Styrofoam they put under it helps the rest of the houses insulation.
