Hello Guys!
Question: What is the correct way...dos or don't in replacing patching or replacing old siding (1x10 cove redwood).
I have heard from a pro that the finger jointed stuff in some cases may have issues.
Its a 1920s house with some of the siding dry rot...
I understand that you shoud preferably start and begin at a vertical stud. However if that is not possible...how do you attach/join the new siding with the old (where there is no vertical stud that they meet)?
Leaking...i assume their should be tar paper under the siding...and patches of paper should be stapled if need where the old wood is replace???
Since the house is old...is better to use galvanized screws rather than nails...as the studs/ framing wood is old?
Thanks Starrider
