Go green on the roof, I did it to hide my place. I didnt want to be found.
Siding, with OSB already on there, wrap it with some Tyvek and use planks. In fact, Hardi board cement. Great for forest fires and the planks are so easy to work with vs a 4X8 sheet. The cement board id a bear to cut, use a diamond blade and wear a mask, do not breathe in the dust (silicosis disease)

I helped a buddy install the Rustic Cedar and he bought hsi with a line on it, the line was for reference to set the next plank on to keep it square.
It looks nice when installed and painted.

I used GREEN metal roof....u don't want PINK metal roof after 15 years...>LOL. the green roof keeps ya under the RADAR
I went with Hemlock board and batten siding for my southern cabin ( is was custom cut in NC for me and bought of Craigs list)
I also bought the hemlock board and batten at a saw mill in the great north woods to do my northern camp...
BTW~~the wood borer bees DO NOT like Hemlock..which is great for the south

Is it my imagination or is the roof ridge line bowing down?

I think it's the color of the background and the tar paper on the roof.
