In an exclusive interview with Australia's Sunday Night that aired this week, the late princess's former lover James Hewitt was asked point-blank about a pesky rumor that has been circulating since the '80s â that he, not Prince Charles, is the biological father of Prince Harry.
Here's a closer look at the longevity numbers in the NAHB and InterNACHI reports: 1  Aluminum siding -- The InterNACHI report projects that aluminum siding should last for 25 to 40 years.  Brick veneer -- Both the NAHB and the InterNACHI indicate that brick is a good choice for a long lasting exterior veneer.
Wood siding should be repainted every three to seven years, or stained approximately every four years. Aluminum siding can go about five years between paint jobs, and stucco five to six years. Newer types of materials require less frequent touchups; for example, cement fiberboard siding should need painting only about once in 10-15 years.
