OSB lap siding......
The homeowner replaced deteriorated portions of exterior surface with pieces of OSB. I don't know if this is a suitable material. Any thoughts?

OSB needs to be protected from the weather and elements.

The paint isn't enough. Just like "Masonite" 1 paint chip or scratch and it will swell and wash out the glue making very nice termite food or mulch on the ground.

Not to worry John, at least I didn't think you were serious.

Thats just there to cover up the large cracks in the foundation.

I agree with John, it just needs a good coat of paint.

Re: OSB lap siding......
My biggest question is, What is behind that OSB? As John above implied, I have to wonder why someone is covering up the foundation?

From the picture, I get thats its a room that has been added onto a patio. It doesn't appear to be an actual foundation wall.

OSB is not designed for exterior finish. But I have seen billy bob use it.
They do make OSB siding panels though, it has a skin finish like masonite.

i can take you to a house in the historical district of Washington, N.C. with OSB on one side. Now I'm not saying what the neighbors think . . . But it actually can survive quite a while if you soak it in motor oil.

My brother in-law had a barn that he would soak all the wood with used motor oil. He moon-shined for awhile and it caught fire. I hear it could be seen for quite some distance away.

Mike,
I remember it was the talk of the town for a bit.

I worked on a ranch in Okeechobee Fl for a while where wood fence maintenance consisted of 5g buckets of hydraulic oil & a roller, might not be able to get by with that these days though.
