Is there is an easier less back-breaking way to dig post-holes? Roy Jay,

Once it is painted to match. You will no doubt paint the whole wall – also, depending on where the bad siding located – front side, or rear. Looks will count most on the street side. In the back, you won’t even notice any difference once it is painted. Fixer-Jay / mb Roy:

This lap siding seems to be made of some type of hard cardboard material since it crumbles in my hand. The siding on most of this house is in good condition but in one 3 x 4 ft. area it needs replacement.. Is Masonite still sold or can I replace this siding with something else? It is about 3/8 inch thick. Roy Roy Jay,
