Another area of nastiness & rot. When Howard would pull off rotten wood, it often took parts of another board with it, we ended up replacing a lot more wood than we originally planned for. You can see the last time the house was painted, the sloppy sues didn't even bother to cover up the brick around the gutter downspout. So now we have to figure out how to get all this paint off the brick before we have the new gutters installed.
