I've been considering buying a couple of his prefabs and having them barged down. Would you recommend this? We don't have people on the island who can build stuff.

I am a little bit confuse about the "siding options".

Cedar, T-111, Log, is like plastic, PVC, or something else...?

What about real wood..? Is a finish work or not..? If not, at what stage, the project stops..? how much money you gonna need after..?

What is confusing you? Cedar can be lap siding. Pine can be lap siding too. T-111 is plywood with vertical grooves of various spacing. log is a log looking veneer simulating a log building but is only about 1/2 in thick. Go to your local lumber yard and ask and look.

Cedar and pine are real wood. The FAQ page might be helpful

OK now i see the problem. I didn't notice that he is from Greece. The only thing they have over there is stone and brick. and probably no lumber yards, my bad.

Lol. He's not an American. One then there E. U. P. Ans.
I think Greece. Anyways I think he is a bit challenged by the English language, but knows way more than I do of any foreign language.
