Well, that's just great. More stuff about which I'd had not a clue. Didn't even know that the siding here is vinyl. Read the Wikipedia entry on "cladding". If the fire concerns relating to some types of cladding weren't bad enough, it also reminded me of the movie the wifey had us watch the other night - Tin Men. Depressing on so many levels. Alas, I *did* learn a little. :-)
