Best way to attach house number?
I was repainting my house and removed some brass house numbers nailed to a vertical siding.
The nails were rusted and the wood around the nail holes rotted. Some of the nail head look like brass but I guess they are some sort of plated iron nails.
Although the nails are small and the damage is small, I wonder if there's a better way to put up the house numbers that would not cause rotting. Using rust proof nails would be a start. But they could still cause rotting of the nail hole due to capillary action.
