I thought I was the only one still using the old senco trim guns! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it👍🏼
It looks like a lot of water damage under the cladding. What was the approach to ensure there isn't mold, framing damage, termite damage etc under the exposed areas? DId you have to add flashing?
Real pro. Great job.
Thanks! Glad to be able to teach and share in these videos. Cheers!
Thank you sir👍❤️!
If I want to just fix a small split down the middle of one of the boards, what's the best product to use? I was thinking PL8x or Sikabond, or should I use epoxy or caulk? Or is caulk too weak?
What about waterproofing? I would have thought you need to take down the siding, add new sheeting, tyvek wrap it and then reinstall the siding. What are your thoughts on this??
You can if you want
You’d have to remove all the siding down. Just caulk your seams good and run with it.
On a balloon framed home from early 1900s. Nah. Let it breathe how it was designed. Properly “modernizing” a home this old with vapor barriers and insulation really is a big undertaking and has to be done correctly or you’ll cause more harm than good.
@@CR-zu3mb I "think" the tyvek would create too tight of a seal and black mold?
@@cocoablini No tyvek is supposed to breath air and block water.
I would have lightly wire wheeled the face to more mimic the face of the siding.
Is the idea there that it would bring out the woodgrain texture? I noticed that seemed to be missing.
What filter is in mask?
siding should butt against the trim. trim shouldn't ever be put on top of the siding. that's horrible design!
Not back in the day….
At the time trim over was far superior as the but joints didn’t have to be tight, and there was no caulk.
Furthermore when the boards try to curl/“run away” from the house they do so mostly on the ends.
Nails were expensive…especially round or what was called “wire nails” at the time.
Saying “Horrible design” about a house that’s over 100 years old is almost comical in a world full of “McMansions” that are condemned and torn down in 20 years.
I read a book on how to build your own home from 1902.
This is exactly how it dealt with the trim as it wasn’t uncommon to just stack 7 runs on a bench and cut them at the same time…hand saw, hot sun;
“shit and get.”
