A pox on our house

In South Louisiana cypress siding is used on homes because of its indestructibility. The siding might look as if it was put up yesterday but can be more than 100 years old.

While cypress stands up well against moisture and bug infestation, it's no match for the hail storm we had two weeks ago. You can see in the photo that it looks as if someone dabbed a brush in white paint and stippled our house.

I guess I know now what I'll be doing this fall.

  1. Let those hail marks alone a couple years and I'll bet they'll fade away. Why bother fixin' what's goina fix itself. There's better things to do in fall, like pop a beer and watch football!

    Enjoying your blog,
