Crude Cape Cod 2

We decided to improve upon the crude Cape Cod design, dressing up the exterior with some period architectural elements. The result doesn’t look very Cape-Cod-like – just cottage like. We did catch ourselves falling into a bit of a trap; we weren’t thinking about the cost of the features we were adding. The larger widows, and cedar shake siding may look nice, but they both cost more.

Time to get some hard numbers on the costs of different siding materials…
