" So many New England houses are shingled houses and here what we've got is the preservation of much of the original fabric of the side wall but where necessary we've got to. Rebuts new beautiful red cedar shingles are friends from that cedar shake and shingle bureau have helped us out and I want out. Focus a little bit on the detailing that's done here this is called woven corners where they come together like this and the interesting Vito at the bottom of the house's. Three receding courses. Stepped down like that they create a little bit of a flare so that the weather can. Runoff for them but it's a detail that's original of the house we see it around the whole perimeter of the lower course. And -- I want to interrupt you look over your shoulders what I want to get to is how you how you do the weaving over here look at. We'll start by finishing this course here that we want the courses to alternate that he would end -- here and angry in exactly. And that is important from the point of view of how they take to the weather. Now you're shooting them with though with what sized fastener. -- Staples and as a matter where you put one or two or three no we try to put three or four depending on the size of action. This will be here. We'll just mark the -- it. You'll cut that off. That way when we latest went on -- overlap okay. The government -- the I want a three nearly together welcome back official to be killed four -- a little hand trim. But you don't actually nail through the edges do you know now. And Terry you do have surface damage in certain areas of the windowsill."

" And a sash themselves right good weather cracks and holes from over the years but we uses the liquid wood from -- Ron yeah -- an epoxy system. Which hardens the surface before we head. They won't -- pox -- won't or filler. And you have to wait a certain amount of time between job. Brushing this Simon and -- when it's dried at the touch we can put on pox how do you mix the the wood replacement compound ticket. Approximately what we wanted to be pretty close equal amounts. The and that people -- And then basically just knead them together. We were done. Tell the color is consistent. You want to make sure you have gloves on when you do this because you won't get it off your fingernails. -- won't kick off your calluses gap -- be this you know. He's the plastic or any kind of putty knife you can use an old shingle. And basically you want to -- the -- failure halts."

" And don't over applied is the more you leave on the more you're gonna have to sand off fled. OK and then you can just paint right over it after it's you can dried right you can paint -- covered with a varnish stain it won't take. -- well let's speak with our homeowner Paul about pain because I know it. He's starting to apply the Sherwin-Williams. Primer coat but Paul you've had to do a lot of prep work on the house right a lot of prep work out. Probably three and half weeks really just -- in sanding -- it's Andy's getting ready had great service to work. It's exactly right in this house obviously if you look at the door you can so that it's had many many colors applied to it. And if you look at the condition of the original shingles it looks like it's been grays and blues most of its life. May be a white coat on it at one point. Now what type of primary using onions and oil primer your way and yet. It's scenes were the best but I think. It's always been my preference especially when you've got old shingles that have already had a lot of paint put on the to continuing an oil based primer and then proceed with a latex. Paint yes yeah."
