Repairing exterior cladding

Exterior cladding on southern wall has gone in terrible shape:


The wind and snow hits straight on to it.
Not to mention the sun.
Closer look tells the whole truth:



So we headed to buy supplies.
boards and paint:


We bought boards from Puumesta,
where is also possible to loan trailer for free.
Whole lot easier than empty own :-D.

My role was just hang around
and admire the solution of warning tape
(which we didn't had):


Paint we got from RTV-yhtymä,
where was going on funny campaign:
each paint can you bought,
you get two glasses:


We bought 2 cans,
so my daughter got four new glasses.

My hubby cut boards:


He made bevel to the lower edge:


Those were done,
so raining water wouldn't harm so badly in future.

Wall was ripped in parts, 
just in case of rain:


There wasn't any unpleasant surprises.
Were glad of that!

And new boards was added right away:


Then he painted it:


And let it dry,
before next layer.
It finally stayed unfinished over two weeks,
because of rain:


But now it is finished and next project can be start.
New drain:


He said, it can be done in fall...
