Billowing in the wind

It is windy here during the fall/winter. And that is an understatement. I have woken up many times because the wind is so loud. I think we may have just discovered that the source of all that noise isn't actually the wind. Tim just took me outside (in the freezing wind) to show me what the siding on the side of the house is doing during this wind. THE SIDING is rippling in the wind. It is still attached to the house--for now. It is not an uncommon sight after a winter storm to see houses missing siding. Hopefully, we can fix this before we become one of those houses. Only problem, Tim doesn't like heights. He doesn't do work up on ladders.

David was always afraid to go oup high but he had to paint our old house and had to overcome:) Hopefully Tim won't have to go up to high.

Yikes!! We were once in a wind storm in Eugene and the roof on our house started to come off...piece by piece! Scary.
Hope you get it taken care of soon.

Yes, the wind keeps us up at night too, I worry about our siding with every storm. We have a 25 foot ladder you can borrow if you need it.
