Disaster...a HOLE!

So we were told our siding is made of a compressed compound similar to that of a cardboard box (where do people buy this stuff ??)
Anyhoo.....it seems to be crumbling, as a box does, with the changes in weather here in NY and we have developed a HOLE! As they were putting in our new windows we took a minute to review the damage. (when I buy more batteries for the camera...I'll post pictures of the beautiful new windows and tell the story of the redneck window incident.)
