The project entails blowing out 2 bay windows and putting standard size ones in place. Problem is we need to figure what to do about siding. The last 7 years we have looked at siding and have never came across these. I've considered doing cider slats painted this color but it's still gonna be an eye sore.

And for those who will suggest it, no I'm not going to reside my entire house.

I think it's press board. Like old fashioned MDF, or high tech insulbrick. I seem to remember ripping it off houses before.

That or fiber cement, I think.

Careful if it’s fiber cement. Sometimes it contains asbestos. Not a big deal if you don’t break it.

I thought the same thing. The edges are too crisp for Masonite
