I'm looking to install my vynal siding and need to bend the aluminum around the windows and doors and over the fascia. This tool is expensive to buy and i'd like to rent it for few days. Any idea where i can rent it? I live in northen NJ.

I am preparing to repaint a 600 sq ft cottage with old wood siding (horizontal boards). Scraping off peeling paint revealed a number of areas where the siding is rotted. In one case, the rot extends 3 feet wide and one to two inches tall. In some cases, it goes right through the wall. I had someone dig out all the rot and start filling in with bondo with hardener. He used one can and estimates that it will take 2 more to finish things. This is certainly the easiest way for me to do this rather than try to cut out and replace the boards. But is this OK? I am not planning to replace all the siding with Hardiboard and have put in alot of time in prep already. Will filling in buy me a few years? I live in the Pacific Northwest- no snow but lots of rain. There is also rot between some of the boards. Thanks for your advice! I really dont know what to do.
