HI THERE, AND WELCOME TO "YOUR HOME-IMPROVEMENT MINUTE". WANT TO PROTECT YOUR HOME, SAVE MONEY, AND GIVE A WHOLE NEW LOOK TO YOUR OUTSIDE? CONSIDER USING SIDING. FORGET THOSE OLD ALUMINUM-SIDING JOKES FROM THE '70'S: TODAY'S SIDING CAN BE MADE FROM VINYL, STEEL, WOOD, OR CONCRETE--AND CAN LAST AT LEAST 15 YEARS. YOU CAN MAKE IT LOOK LIKE STONE, STUCCO, OR EVEN BRICK. YOUR CLIMATE AND YOUR BUILDING'S ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE ARE IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS. ALSO, CHECK OUT LOCAL BUILDING CODES, BEFORE YOU MAKE THE FINAL DECISION ON SIDING. GETTING A QUALITY MAKE OF SIDING IS IMPORTANT, AS WELL. THERE ARE MANY QUALITY MANUFACTURERS TO CHOOSE FROM. SOMETIMES, REPLACEMENT ISN'T REALLY NECESSARY; ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SOME CLEANING AND REPAIR. IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING AN ALTERNATIVE TO VINYL, CHECK OUT "JAMES-HARDIE"-DOT-COM, FOR NEW CONCEPTS IN SIDING PRODUCTS. WHATEVER CHOICE YOU MAKE, IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO LEAVE THE INSTALLATION TO A LICENSED CONTRACTOR. CAPITAL-IMPROVEMENT-REPAIR FINANCING IS EASY, WHEN YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO. TO LEARN MORE, LOG ON TO W-W-W-DOT-"N-C-B"-DOT-COM--YOUR HOME-OWNER AND CONDOMINIUM-ASSOCIATION LENDING RESOURCE. THIS HAS BEEN "YOUR HOME-IMPROVEMENT MINUTE".
