damontBack in May of last year I mentioned A New Project that I was doing. And I even took some photos as the project progressed. But there were technical issuess, and I have finally managed to get the photos to a place which, while possibly temporary, I can at least link to reliably, and if the photos' location should change I can just edit the links in these posts. (ETA 02Feb24: Uploading images actually worked this time, it had failed miserably a couple months ago.)
So.
My parents' back porch was built a little over a quarter century ago (mid to late 1990s) and, for some reason, the side walls were done up in basic white aluminum siding. The "front" wall which was adjacent to the kitchen and laundry room was done up in Texture 1-11 plyeood, painted white. I had painted that wall back in 2020 (having little better to do at the time). In the spring of 2023, Dad wanted to put a clock up on the porch, preferably on the side wall over the French doors, but mounting the clock on that old siding was not going to happen. So he decided the siding, which was showing its age, needed to come down and be replaced with something solid, and might as well go with Texture 1-11 to match the other existing wall.
I put in the low bid for doing the work, and got moving in the middle of May. My first task was to remove the old siding and caulking, and see what was under it. That took a couple of afternoons and one evening, and although I didn't take any "before" photos, here's what the side walls looked like after the siding came off.

Stay tuned, more photos to come.
