Yep, it's 'siding season' at my place, too...
The house was painted about 8 years ago, and this side has been hammered pretty badly. Powerwashed the hell out of it, and after another day or two of drying and minor repairs, it's going to get fresh primer/paint.
I'm having trouble with the cedar shingles, though- I used an oil-based primer on them originally, with a latex paint- about a third of it failed. I'm going to use a similar approach, with better products, and hope that it grabs hold this time. (The same materials on different aspects of the house are doing just fine.)
For those familiar with cedar shingles...they were washed & lightly scraped a few days ago, and as they are drying, some of them are cupping. I don't really want to face nail them back down, and have visible nails...anyone have any suggestions on how to flatten them back out?

Gonna take more than a few days and then maybe not as flat as originally. What’s wrong with slamming in some face nails? Yer gonna paint over ‘em anyway. Don’t overthink it! 😊

The backing behind the shingles are 1x4 rails, not sheathing...not sure I'll hit anything with a face nail. I'll give it a few more days, and hopefully they'll lay back down a bit. If not, I might have to try nailing, unless I can think of a better solution.

Presumably where you would nail the overlying shingle is where the underlying one is nailed to the furring, no?

Nope...the shingles are about 13" long, and it has a 5" exposure, so the furring strips aren't necessarily where the bottom edge of the shingle is.

Bummer - crankloons did that, eh? But you should be able to measure back up and find the furring.

Well, the original house was built around '45, and was intended as a summer cabin only- pretty fast construction, but typical of the area. Still, it's managed to stay upright for a long time...the improvements I've made over the years are definitely helping.

Waste of a good hull just to keep some rain out if you ask me. 😉

Xcon-Lack of knowledge. I figured gambrel roof would allow more headspace. Then I said feck it and made the walls 8ft. anyway. Now it seems more like a shedthedral. The height seems to have pissed off a neighbor too.
Things go sideways (I couldn't fix the picture on this tablet - seriously).
This morning I got the knock on the door. Tagged by the man. The man was actually really nice. I know it's my fault. I misunderstood exempt to mean no permit necessary. It meant no building permit, but still need approval.
Now I need the blessing of the guardians of the lake. However, the guardians are closed for the winter. It is a question of site coverage. I have the space, and the shed is built on an existing slab (where old shed was). Still it is being suggested that I must respect the authority, and cease and desist. I may watch shed rot over the winter. The glory of the process of nature.
Anyone know how to call in a favor in S. Lake Tahoe?
TLDR version: If you feel getting something done, don't build shed to store divorce leftovers. Enjoy the winter.
edit: ^nice shitter! Every man deserves their kingdom, and a seat to admire their domain

A large tarp will protect that for the winter. Looks like an 8x10 which shouldn’t require a permit in most places - but it’s also pretty tall which will likely trigger the need. There is the bulk plane, which limits the height as you get closer to the property line, there is also often a need for a firewall on structures less than 5 ft from property line. Yeah - I probably would have complained as well. This is all IRC, local might be different and probably is in a place like Tahoe. Good luck. Seems to me you might think about how to shorten that thing as your cheapest option, to make it a garden shed instead of an accessory building.

It's not much - just a ledge built from found rock with a single support point on a steep hillside. Done solo.
