The attic will hit R80. Brazelton is doing much of the traditional renovation work himself, with the help of his father and a few friends.

Go with an aluminum patch. Use aluminum rivits or screws. Avoid stainless or other metal screws due to the interaction of different metals. Use a sealant like 3m 5200 or Boatlife. Do not use fiberglass to patch aluminum. It just doesn't hold up well.
Removing aluminum siding. Tags: Roofing & Siding. I have to remove and reinstall my aluminum siding to repair some water damage around a leaking window. I am not sure how to do it, do I have to take it down from the top of the wall or can I just separate it at the joints.AREFULLY, you dont want to dent or bend the siding. Once unlocked, you can gently lift the loose piece and see the nails that attach the piece. CAREFULLY pull the nails with a flat bar or BIG catspaw. After removeing the nails, pull down on the piece comming off.
