Cedar Shingling
If you want to shingle the side of your house, here's a good tip on how to keep each course perfectly straight. First, snap a level chalk line. Then, attach a length of strapping as your guide. Lay a course of shingles on the strapping, making sure the joints are staggered. Leave about 5 inches exposed to the weather and repeat this process from the bottom of your wall to the top.
