We feel lucky to have a quality lumber yard not far selling clear cedar clapboards we've fitted around the new front window, which helps enclose the old farmhouse porch here. It costs $1.64 a ft. unprimed, and we have used a few hundred dollars worth of it.
The sunroom on the far left side of the house will need an enclosed interior wall of this clapboard replaced as well. The far right greenhouse clapboards are ok.
Below is the house finally all painted "Alabaster" (a Sherwin Williams color) mixed in Benjamin Moore's "Moor Gard" Low Lustre acrylic paint (siding) and "Moor Glo" Soft Gloss acrylic paint (trim).
