I had someone patch it up with aluminum.  

- any problems like Knob & Tube or Aluminum wiring?   

The aluminum wiring issue is my only concern because rewiring a house, even a small one can be devastating

One of them had softball size.Yes that can ruin aluminum siding.

I was paying our maintenance company to make them, then I found an aluminum company that makes them for about $15.00 each.  

(Especially if it's in the southeastern part of the city where you could advertise as being near Sloan's Lake and the Highlands there in Denver.)

The cabinets were RTA cabinets and we were really impressed.As mentioned above; my dad and myself spent nearly 3 agonizing months every Saturday and Sunday ripping off one layer of aluminum siding, and then cedar lap siding to reveal the original sheathing of the home.

I am located in South Eastern Ontario, Canada.

I am planning my exit strategy from the fire department in the next 7-10 years, and would benefit from the tax advantages with regards to my pension in the southeastern states while maintaining my portfolio in the northeast.

So when the roof finally came off, I not only had 5 layers of shingles on both the house and attached garage (21 square in total) I wound up having to re-deck the entire house, and fix a cracked roof truss.Thank God I did it myself with some hired help, or I would have been looking at a $13,000-$15,000 job, easy.Additionally, the house was originally wired with Aluminum wire, which may or may not be the worst thing in the world, depending on the electrician you talk to.
