I am interested in siding a guest house in copper as “An Artisit’s Copper Clad Studio” in the Oct/Nov 2001 issue of FH. This looks like rolled copper about 18″-24″ wide. Nailed at the top and lapped. What would be the nailing pattern on this project?

Don't know about the nailing but I'd be interested in what sort of material cost you come up with for the copper. I don't believe it could be as cheap as the article made it sound.
That article was discussed quite a bit in the "Feedback on FHB" folder at the old site. I've got no clue as to whether those posts can be retrieved from this mess, but there was a lot of info re copper siding, prices, methods & the "Love it or Hate it" studio. Joe H
