I think I can do it and it should not be too hard.
The siding has a couple holes in the middle of the wall. I figure to remove old pieces of siding and cut new ones to length.
In order to put new pieces up so that they are firmly in place I plan to mark a line along the top edge of the old piece before I remove it. Then I will position the new piece on the line and nail in place.
To get the old pieces, that are above the new pieces, to lock in place, is it adequete to just tug on the edge by hand and snap it over the top of the new piece. Or is it required that I buy one of those tools for that purpose?
Is my plan good or is there a better way?
Thanks.
