looks good trc51... just a question, what was the reason you didnt go closer to the ground with the siding? If it was the concrete, you could have just extended the sheeting down a foot. Just wondering.. Never seen siding like that before.

Mine wasnt insulated so I did it myself. I used regular foam insulation like they use for one use coolers. I painted it with exterior latex paint before I cut it. It stuck very good. Actually made the foam stronger since the latex crated a layer like paper to drywall.

I thought you only need a respirator for arc welding or flux core welding? I have been using a particle filter but it actually seems that since I switched to a full faced lexan mask for grinding, it hasnt been a problem. Love the full face mask.
