I'm thinking about staining and sealing the cedar trim and just going with 1/2"x 24" corrugated galvalume on most of the exterior with maybe some cedar shakes around the entrance way.
We were going use this around the top 1/3rd of the cabin anyway, but I'm kind of warming up to this. If we ever get tired of it, it would be easy to take down and replace with "real" siding later on.
