Is there a catch to this $1,200 apartment/small home in East Flatbush?

NEW SIDING ON MY HOUSE $$$ - How much for a 1200 sq ft home?

OK, it sounds weird, but it's not really: I've got a mobile home, and I want it to look more like a regular house. I'm basically going to rip off the metal siding, and put regular wood siding. It's about 1200 square foot. How much would you guess the materials alone would cost? (I'm going to do it myself) I've never done this. Are there any tricks, or pitfalls I should know about? I'm in California.
Answer:

Mande, Before I replaced my mobile home with "wood siding" I would check out all the alternatives. Have you considered vinyl siding -- it will last you a lifetime, no upkeep and you will not have to paint it -- ever. It may cost a bit more initially but it would save you so much in the long run. Not sure about Cali prices but I bet they beat N.Y. !!!! Check out the prices at Home Depot or Lowes and talk to the salespeople. If you are going to do it yourself then you should read up on all the tricks and pitfalls. Buy a DYI book and do some homework before you begin!!!!
