Western red cedar shiplap is looking so nice on our Colorado build 🥹
If you look closely, you’ll see the horizontal girts running behind the siding (the black lines). These are corrugated so that if water ever gets behind the siding, it can drain freely out of the gap at the bottom and avoid causing any future damage to the home. Plus, the very bottom girt has a fine fabric screen that lets water out, but keeps bugs from getting in. Air can flow through too, which lets the wall dry out. Details like this will help this home stay beautiful and functional for many years to come.
