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.
    I have thought about covering mine up or at least part of it.

    It was quite the job...especially in the detail spent to cut the 2x4's to get the siding to plane out and not show waves!

    You have got that right. It is totally never ending and double with a houseboat! House upkeep + boat upkeep = Major Headache (Don't ask me how I know, just trust that I do)
