Not sure why this turned out like this

You are very welcome! I went by the house outside of town behind the big fence. The fence was closed and no one was around.

A helpful man at Pack’s looked up some information. He said the company named Beacon makes my siding ( or at least used to make it). He can’t find a dealer within 100 miles of PB.
He did give my the web address so when I get back to WiFi on Thursday or Friday I’ll try to find a phone number for them and give them a call.
I got most of the yard cut in PN before the battery needed a charge. Sounds like a great reason to sit down and cool off!
In my garden at home I’ve had to pull all the cucumbers and cantaloupe vines. I meant to pull up all the zucchini before I left because it’s so infested with squash bugs. But I just remembered that I didn’t do that this morning.

@jthornton I finally had success today!!
I found a company that has more of my siding!!
They are in Herculaneum but that is between my house and PB. So I’ll take it. Now I just need to get a trailer or borrow one and go pick it up.
Then the next challenge will be finding someone willing to work that knows how to install the siding
The one guy that was going to give me a bid told me today that “he is really busy and it’s been a long time since he has installed siding”. The second company hasn’t returned my last couple of calls.
But once I actually buy the siding I won’t be in a huge hurry because we still have a lot to do before we can put it on the market.
I’m just super excited that I finally located more of the siding!!

That's awesome.

Putting up siding is easier than sheetrock until you get above your head.

Go to Gamblin's and ask at the counter for names and numbers of small reliable handy man's. Tell them what kind of job you have. They are the best source of info for that. When I wanted the 30x50 built I was told Joe Good is the best in the area so I walked to the counter and asked if anyone had Joe Good's number and 3 shouted it out!

Thanks! Especially since all the siding in the back is over my head!

Well, I’m hot and sweaty but I finally got all the insulation above the living room done! Being up in the rafters of the attic was brutally hot. Couldn’t be up there after 11:00 AM but I could go back up after 7 PM. Glad that part is done .
The remaining bedroom I can do on a ladder from in the bedroom.
I only have 1 more area to do from the rafters and I’m hoping to be able to do that on days with the highs no higher than 88.

I wasn't sure if it was a family of mice up there or not when I passed by... at least you can close the door and run the AC now.

Did you knock on the front door? I thought I heard someone knocking but I was too hot to climb down. I just wanted to get it done!
