husband & I are getting ready to start new home for ourselves – been building homes for 14 years.  Husband hates vinyl, (we have cedar now), I’m sick of staining.  Considering James Hardie for ability to be able to change colors, but also considering Boral Bricks pastelcote on the front of the home  – going for country french kind of look.  Haven’t found too many people locally who have done it – would appreciate some reviews/thoughts or ideas from anyone who’s done it.
