This is a follow-up to my original posting about research on siding options. A few people asked why I specified no brick or stucco. Our houses have already gone through the preliminary design phase, and neither brick nor stucco are appropriate for the style (which is sort of updated "New England" -- though other New View folks might have a better description). Despite not fitting aesthetically, we did briefly discuss brick and stucco and were also under the impression that it was not the most cost effective option. Someone informed me today that there are Usenet newsgroups devoted to homebuilding. Do any of you have knowledge about the name or content of such a newsgroup? -- Sue Cunio Salem On Sun, 10 Apr 1994, Fred H.
