Cinder block transformation.
This is a fun job! We are installing HardiePlank siding on this block house, using a rainscreen application and a radiant barrier insulation system.

Finished house.
The first thing we do is to remove the window sills.

Then we install 1x wood strips. This give us an nailing strip an a way to allow air to flow behind the siding.

We then install a foil radiant barrier- google it, its very cool. HardieTrim at the windows and corners.
