I began the MASSIVE residing project at our farmhouse a week ago as well - I'm re-milling and rehanging original siding back up after sheathing - check it out!<br /><br />Agree 100% on re-use - on top of the cost often times the quality of materials is FAR superior - even with age - than the stuff sold today!

That partly comes from a limited budget; have to cast about for things we don't need to buy.

They made us put one in the sewing room. Luckily that isn't a room that gets a lot of use and there's another double hung window in there. Oh and the crank is supposed to have a guarantee on it. We'll see.
