The siding was pretty tricky getting off.
I used a circular saw and and cut down the center of a stud to remove
the shiplap and leave an area to nail in the new siding.
Even though the end of the garage is the only bad area, I may remove
all of the tiles and paint with a high quality paint.
The roof needs replacing and the installation of guttering.
