Above you can see a damaged section of Masonite siding on the Merritt property, with the improper gutters installed this caused the water to run down the siding causing some water damage.
Here the old siding was removed very carefully as not to disturb the original siding which contains asbestos. Asbestos siding is ok as long as it's not disturbed, being that it releases harmful particals in the air, and is quiet costly to have removed. So covering the old with new siding is a cost efficient and safe way to achieve potential harm from breaking up asbestos.
Not being able to buy the previously used siding "Masonite", daddy Dave had to make his own stripping sheets of plywood into the desired width(this was suggested by grandpa Anderson and worked quite nicely).
Next it needed to be sealed with a fresh coat of paint, but after buying the paint and starting the work it was discovered the colors didn't match. With rno time to go back to the store and rain in the forcast for the next couple of days this needed to get done regardless the color. The siding would need a second coat any way and then daddy Dave will make sure the match is a match.
