Siding project started

We finally started work replacing the siding of our 1968 house. We're using HardiPlank, factory painted Woodstock Brown. The material lasts 50 years and is repaintable, unlike most vinyl siding. The factory paint is guaranteed against cracks and peeling for 15 years. Anyway, here's the story.

It didn't take long before we found this spot with NO insulation.

After opening it up, we concluded that it's where the second fireplace would have gone had the buyer chosen this option. We added insulation and insulation board and it was as better than new. But what else will we find?
