One quarter of the eastern side of the narrow weatherboard cladding house has rot, you can poke a pen thru. some studs are also gone. builder recommends re- cladding the entire eastern wall as the rest is better but still v weathered.
He said its hard to find that narrow timber board these days.
Any suggestions?
A REA suggested blue boarding the whole thing and render to add value. That's expensive and there's other repairs first . We want to do itup, the whole housee is dated n tired, a new facade (paint/render??) wd add value. but money is tight for now we just wanted to get the essential done.
but the essential is a whole wall. Plus all gutter and down pipes need replacing and it's high set. So to do both render/paint/reclad n gutters at same time saves on scaffolding costs.
Any ideas? We can technically afford it but as its to be a PPOR we had planned to pay mortgage down. But gutters are urgent, there are whole sections just missing from rust decay.
Ideas welcome: to do the cladding up so its not rotting and ao it looks more modern. It's in a nice Reno-crazy area.
