Ok thanks Julia. Sorry for the delay. I was on a family vacation last week.
Please see the attached photos of the rear wood siding of my home. Please note the many drill holes
and rot we found while exposing the siding to construct the rear addition. The rest of my home is still
sided with aluminum so I don’t have any photos. I’d like to have the boards approval to remove the
aluminum and replace the wood with cement board so the addition and existing home have the exact
same siding.
Thanks for the help.

Good morning,
I am reviewing your application to replace your existing siding with cement board.
To consider this application, the Board needs photos of the existing siding showing its state
of disrepair.
Please send me photos of the siding to demonstrate the need to remove the existing and
replace it with cement board.
