Unless something goes terribly wrong, a couple of months from now I expect to co-own this house. But that’s not what I wanted to talk to you about.
See the sides of the house? You might think it was stucco – but you’d be mistaken. It’s not real stucco – it’s Eifs.
Eifs. Rrrrrrr….
A month ago, I had never heard of eifs. Now I hate it with a passion. I am contemplating replacing most of the swear words in my vocabulary with eifs, as in: “eifs you, you eifshead!, Eifs off!, Ee’s such an eifshole,” etc..
In the meanwhile, if you know of anyone who can replace siding with reasonable skill (and at a reasonable price) who works in Portland, Oregon, please let me know..
Ah, but it’s not asbestos shingling. That should count for something, right ? ;)
Have you seen Blue Vinyl? Awesome examination of the PVC industry and some great stuff on alternative materials. Check it out.
Tristan — I’ve seen Blue Vinyl. Great film, I have mentioned it to Amp, et al. But I’ve only seen it on Canadian TV, is there another way to get ahold of it?
bean,
I saw it a little while back at the Red Vic in S.F. The audience cracked up at the alternative building contractor wanting cheeseless pizza (I imagine a fair number of us were vegans. god I love the bay area). You can order on vhs from the website. It’s a little pricey but worth it I think.
