I was back to do a one year service call on this guest house my company built a year ago, and I was struck by the beauty of the Doug Fir Siding. It looked as good a year later as the day we installed it. In this video I'll share the How To tips to ensure your wood stained siding has beauty that endures.

The credit goes to Austin Architects Rick & Cindy Black for great detailing, and I also want to plug the Sikkins Cetol 123 stain we used. This has been a fantastic product. Enjoy the video. Matt Risinger, Risinger Homes in Austin, TX

@linzhanfh. What? Dang robots, isn't there anything FHB can do about these posts? No one on this forum is buying a Guucci bag.

Here in Texas it's usually wasps or mud daubers. Both are easy to eradicate and they both come regardless of space behind the siding or not. Best, Matt Risinger

In any case, that's a real nice looking project. Well done!
