Actually, we ran a 28'er across them to set the sub-fascia, all ends were securely clamped down.

That would have been a lot cheaper, 'cause the dog would be in the ground!

We call that a three season porch up here. You can guess which three those might be.

You must be married. My wife has three horses, only rides 1 once or twice a year (just around the yard). About $700.00 a year in hay, $250.00 in vaccinations, $400.00 in ferrier visits. Expensive lawn ornaments. Not to mention three dogs who go to the vet every spring for shots & such, $600.00. I'm starting to feel ill, I think I'll stop now. I know, I've been "whipped" for seventeen years.

Homeowner wants to use tongue and groove redwood now. Any recommendations on how to fasten the new siding, because some boards will screwed into studs and others just into the 1/2 plywood sheathing.
Thanks

First and foremost, something was going on to cause the original siding to move substantially to shear off and pull out screws. Possibly excessive moisture behind the siding. Possibly the composition of the siding. Was it a manufactured product? If not, what species of wood is the existing siding? What type of sheathing is behind the siding and what condition is it in? I install verticle siding with either 2" or 2 1/2", 15 gauge stainless trim nails, according to whether or not a breather membrane is used behind the siding, which I do highly recommend. I try to maintain 12" spacing when using gunned fasteners. If you are hand nailing, a Maze SS Split-less, ring-shanked siding nail would be advantageous. Spacing can be spread out to about 24" using this method. All fasteners should be blind nailed on a T&G siding where possible. I'm not sure screwing would be practical or even possible when blind fastening is the preferred method of installation. If the sheathing is in poor condition, it should be replaced to insure a solid nailing base, 5/8 would be recommended for vertical siding installation.

Vertical siding
Thanks for the info !
The buckled siding is a manufactured product ( finger-jointed redwood primed front and back). Tyvek is behind the siding. I was told the siding was installed upon delivery and then painted. It was installed tight and began to pop off during its first winter in Calif.
