Is brick and mortar forever? Not really.
When prospective buyers are looking at properties, they want a siding that will last forever. Or at least what they think is forever. The less maintenance cost's the better.

This home is for sale. And the home owner say's it's no big deal. Then it should have been reapired before I showed up.

Happy Holidays every one.
