Removing A Piece Of Siding ?
|
|
| Robert11 2006-04-27, 2:21 pm |
| Hello:
Other than using a thin hacksaw blade kind of approach, any other good
techniques for removing a piece of house wood, horizontal,
siding (called clapboards ?) to get rid of the nails holding it on, that are
covered by the siding piece right below ?
Have never done this before.
Thanks,
Bob

| That might work except the OP said it was wood siding. Maybe you are
joking...

LOL!
Sorry Ray. I had a mind fart. I had vinyl siding on the brain. I just did a
bunch.

I used a reciprocating saw with a long metal cutting blade. Just slip
it under the siding and cut the nails off. I did this to replace all
the damaged siding before painting. =20

You could simply pry it up a bit & pull the nails.

Not on my house. They nailed the siding with 2" coated ring shank
nails. Try and lift the siding, and the heads just pull through,
leaving big holes. Even when I could get a grip on a nail head,
attempting to pull it out would usually just break it off below the
surface. Even the cut off stubs, vise-grips and prybar, a few come
out, most just snap.. I just hammered them flat before putting the
new siding up..=20
