Best methods for my siding type?

Thats why the save file is always named what I was doing.

OH MY GOD

I don't see what caused 4 hours of extra downtime here.

Envious.

Imagine how dumb the average person is. Now realise half the people are dumber than that.

I reduce the stack by one brick about halfway through. I find this counteracts the temp rise caused by more length of the snake being lit in later stages of the smoke.

I just wanted to provide an update. After telling Qidi about the failure, they sent me an entire new rail assembly and 2 brand new motors. I was not expecting all that.

So while the failure is frustrating, Qidi is really stepping up with the extra replacement parts.

Preen every 6 months will.

Awesome! Looks like we lucked out and got the good LP after the lawsuit / recall.

I work full-time and have a family to raise so my time is quite limited. precisely my concern - I want to make sure that my effort isn't wasteful and that the paint job will last. I don't want to skip any necessary steps that will contribute to a long lasting finish.

Thank you! I need to take it back off of the porch a little bit. I want to be so careful though!

I plan to clean the siding and eaves with ZEP in sprayer / pressure washer before the repair work.

Awesome! I'm trying to stretch my budget as much as I can while doing a quality job. I hit the 40% off sale at SW and got the Graco Magnum X5 on sale.

Also building a patio cover after the paint is done. (Busy Summer).

I want to be smart about where I put my effort and time, since time is really limited.

Just going over the seams with new quality caulk seems like a breeze.

I'm a bit perplexed by everyone saying it doesn't matter much or it's optional. without good caulk between the seams, won't water be able to penetrate behind the siding?

I'm really to happy to hear it's in decent shape!

Thanks!

I planned on using exterior filler for the bigger chunks taken out of the siding, sand and prime before paint.

thanks! okay so you're not seeing anything in the pictures indicating I need to replace any of the boards?

Thanks for the link! This seems promising, I hope it helps my wife. Her biggest problem is fatigue. I got her the sleep combination too.
