My whole company spent an entire summer working on one in Cleveland,Ga three summers ago. We attached 2x4 rips like shims to the entire exterior, installed sheathing, installed house wrap, installed all new windows and doors with interior jam extensions, then installed Hardie lap and hardie shake with hardie corners and composite fascia and soffit. Then added a 750 sq. ft. addition (two story) gloating 1500 more feet...what a job! We lost count on the dead and live carpenter bees...also replaced the entire roof.
