French door wood repair

My dog has chewed the wood trim around the glass panels on my french doors.
Any tricks on repair or replacement of the trim?

Exterior Paneling and All Exterior Sidings
replacing siding --> bit of a jam

J

jimyyz on May 03, 2009

i replaced some vinyl siding and replacing one strip turned into 8 (from about halfway up the wall to the bottom). Now that I've replaced the plywood below it's time to put the replacement siding up. My concern is starting from the bottom and making sure the pieces line up when I get back to the to of the area I am replacing. Has any one replaced vinyl siding backwards i.e. going from the top down? I know its the "wrong" way to install siding and it will be harder with the nailing but it will eliminate the potential alignment problemRead More

Best methods for scraping and painting the house?

I am going to scrape and repair the wooden siding this year. Then of course paint the house. We are trying to get a few more years out of this siding before replacing w/ vinal. The house has several layers of good old house paint that is cracked and flaking everywhere. The paint is so thick someplaces! My idea is to get a pressure washer and try to remove most of the paint that way. I would try to blast downward to avoid spraying water up under the siding. Then scrape and peel whatever is left. Then I would go around and caulk seams, cracks, voids, ect. I will use a paintable caulk. Then I guess a primer would be in order? Any suggestions? Can I spray it on, or do I need to use brushes? Then of course what kind of paint to buy? I would like it to hold up at least 5 years...Read More
