Dtret Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 So ever since I got the shed put up I’ve wanted to give it a new look. So I finally found enough used siding on marketplace to get the job done. 75 bucks. Plus another 140 at menards for corners and edges. The before look.

Dtret Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Still got to paint the green. But the weather will not allow that. I covered the window. Two days. 215 bucks. I’ll take it. I’ve never done siding before but for a shed out back it’s ok. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 So apparently I’m not done. Wash rinse and repeat. I cleaned up the part on the grass but the rest is going to have to wait. Way too wet down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Dennis the shed looks great and i didn't even see any of the residual blood. What did you use to get it off, or did you cover it up with the left-over siding??? Yes be careful by those future 2x4s i don't want to see you fall and get hurt...

I have one neighbor that can see my property ( or what is use fit that matter) all anyone else can see are woods. And they could care less what I do ( I let them use my tractor). The eyesore was in our eyes only, but it was pretty knarley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Dennis, did you insulate before you hung that siding? Because something tells me you’re gonna be sleeping out there come winter time if Karen doesn’t have a spot in the garage by then. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cny first gen 71 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 My latest project paint the front porch, I decided to go with white railings just for a change. Was practice for when I do my rear deck that one is a monster about 20 by 25 feet with all them spindles and on the second level of the house, that's gonna be a real pain but needs to be done. Here's before and after. Then a new electric jack for front of my trailer and clean the awning. Busy days. But I didn't hurt myself other than old people pain 😅 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the finance’s allow, I’d do a stack stone. A few rows should do it it has to be enough to hold back the yard. Run the first row about an inch on the concrete so it forces the yard to stay put.
