Cohousing-L Mailing List: building material questions

[HeidiNYS (HeidiNYS]

Hi,
We are in throes of building,  looking to our co-ho cohorts for input/have 
some to offer

1.  Porch material:  anyone know if the newer presure treated lumber is 
safe??? 

2.  siding: after lots and lots of phone/reading, we may have fibre cement 
options kind of sorted out.  write if interested! 

3:  glass:  can insulated glass doors provide the insulation of a regular 
door/regular door w inulated glass insert??  Seems to us, insulated gladd 
better 
that regular, however not as warm as inulated metal/fiberglass.....??  gather 
that beautiful wood is not a good insulator....
All for now,
oh... anyone have experience with an environmentally friendly paint??  
otherwise, will use Behr/Ben Moore..
best,
Ruth Cantines Island CoHo, Saugerties,NY
