After watching how to do this I now can confidently say I'm going to call a professional! haha

Thanks! Yes, I watch videos like this to pump myself up to fix things at my house that I'll only ever do maybe once or twice in my life. It's good to watch people who know what they're doing, like you, and then try to copy you.

I just bought an older house with a combination of brick (lower) and hardyboard just like this ... and I have rot in several lower places, especially the detached garage which is all board. This info really helped. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I will be doing a bunch of siding replacement on my house shortly and this video helps a lot! I was on a forum asking what nail gun people would use for siding. Got a lot of conflicting answers (although helpful) and probably started some opinion battles, but from watching how you do it a hammer and nails will probably suffice. It will also save me a couple hundred bucks that the nailer and compressor would cost so I can buy a nice chalk reel!

For anyone else wanting to know, that tool he shows for blind nail pulling seems to be a Dasco Pro 640 Shingle Ripper.

We just bought an old home (b. 1900) and I'm mentally gearing up to tackle some projects on my own. This really helped me visualize and fully understand what I'm going to be doing with some of the rotten boards. Thank you.
