Instead of
boat work this fall I’ve come into a bit of contracting. The house I’m working
on (down here in NC) has a type of plywood siding called T1-11 which means that
for every 11 inches of siding there is a 1 inch decorative grove cut into the plywood. This
gives a nice vertical look to the house. The issue is at the bottom of the existing plywood, it was never painted and rot has developed.

| The original siding |
So, out
comes the nails,,, hundreds of nails,,, (seems like MILLIONS of nails), each
one put in with a nail gun and every single one a real bear to remove. The guy
must have put over 30 nails per board!
 |
| Most of the nails had to be removed with a "crow's foot" and lots of pounding |
 |
| The old comes off and... |
 |
| The wall is stripped back to the blue board. |
With Anna’s
help, we installed new, primed siding and the wall looks great again. Now, it’s
time to paint!
 |
| New T1-11 on, the windows trimmed out and everything primed ready for new paint. |
