It looks a lot better with the cladding than without. Thre was an article in La Renaissance Lochoise about eco-construction, and this building apparently is an eco-construct. The site has been an eyesore for months, which seems to be par for the course, speaking from experience!Pollygarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519711639714303756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554428418150974947.post-35267140165430068452014-10-19T08:54:05.403+02:002014-10-19T08:54:05.403+02:00Is he an owner builder or a tradesman?

All these wooden clad buildings that have been springing up do not weather nicely in my opinion. Untreated oak takes a long time (decades, even centuries) to really age attractively, and treated external wood never gets there. Instead they go a nasty brindle sort of colour and pattern.
