The project entails blowing out 2 bay windows and putting standard size ones in place. Problem is we need to figure what to do about siding. The last 7 years we have looked at siding and have never came across these. I've considered doing cider slats painted this color but it's still gonna be an eye sore.

And for those who will suggest it, no I'm not going to reside my entire house.

lap siding designed to look like shingle siding

Might be actual shingle siding that's been painted. Hard to tell from the photo. Maybe take one off and take it to a building supplier and ask them what they think it is.

I think it's press board. Like old fashioned MDF, or high tech insulbrick. I seem to remember ripping it off houses before.

That or fiber cement, I think.

Careful if it’s fiber cement. Sometimes it contains asbestos. Not a big deal if you don’t break it.
