He indicated that he did get his new roof and it looks the same as it did before. Mrs. Lord indicated.that the Caster house is on the corner of the entrance to the library. It is an O.H.I. house and was built in 1854. Mr. Barker noted that Mr. Caster was here October 9, 2000, discussing his roof that the board approved and then they had a short discussion about adding vinyl siding. Mr. Caster indicated that the new siding would be mostly lap siding. There is some drop siding on one section of the house. The intention is to vinyl side it all in the same type siding. He read the work statement from DiSilvestro Roofing to himself, "Install Brentwood siding with costumer color choice including half inch insulation board on house". "Cover all sofits with bedding as needed, cover all window door and trim in aluminum casinas, cover all fascia in aluminum coil stop". "Fencing will be replaced with new viny] fence".

Mrs. Lord questioned if there was basement under the whole house. Ivlr. Caster indicated that there is basement under the two- story area and there is basement under the east wing. There used to be a fireplace in the easf wing. Mrs. Lord questioned if he had considered having it painting or going with wood. Mr. Caster indicated that the cost of maintaining the wood persuaded them to go with vinyl siding. Mrs. Lord questioned what the condition of the wood was that they are covering. Mr. Caster replied anywhere from good to fair. There are areas that should be re-done if they don't get the vinyl siding permit.
