   Replacing vinyl siding is the easy part. It's kind of hard to explain, but you just nail the top nailing flange in place while holding the piece above up out of the way. Then the piece above just snaps down into its original position and covers the nails you just installed.

   Getting the old off is the tricky part but not bad if you have the right tool. Read < Obsolete Link > this thread to find out about the tool. Oh - and before you remove the nails on any siding mark the location on the wall of the top edge of the piece with a pencil so that you can get it back in
   i exactly
   the same position (height).

   *If you are doing a few courses, try and pop the top one first. Then, you just have to pull the exposed nails working your way down.If you can do this, I've had luck renailing working up, then float the last piece....which is now somewhere in the middle. Easier to do than explain....but still a pain.....but not a killer. Jeff
