The white was painted in 2003 with latex paint.The added bonus of gettin high off the fumes...
Yeah I know it's been 17 years but it shouldn't look that bad yet.
Latex paint clings to the surface until it's dry, then it peels off. Oil base soaks into the wood. Old weathered barn siding boards soak up wet oil base like a sponge. But that just means it's going to get good adhesion.
It's hard to find oil base exterior paint though, because everyone has vinyl or aluminum siding on houses today.
Pretty much it's just sheds, dog houses and chicken coops that still have wood siding.

Ever try that Dry lok stuff? Would that work a little better?

I put it on a dog house once.
Wasn't impressed.
I also tried asphalt driveway sealer on wood once, because I was impressed by what it did to the handle on the squeegie I spread it on the driveway with.
Wasn't impressed. Maybe if I'd put more coats on.

People go to Dollar General and get themselves a South Face coat thinking it's the same thing but it's really not.

This is almost one whole gallon of oil base paint.
Latex would have gone further but wouldn't have soaked into the wood for good adhesion and sealing. And it would be peeling off before spring.
The only new wood is the one on the corner. The rest is old wood that soaked it up like a sponge.
I went ahead and painted it because I wanted to put that white vinyl corner piece on.
But that's where I left off.. I'm out of wood. I was only able to reuse about half of what I pulled off because the rest is either too rotted or was cut for the two windows that were there. I don't know why they thought that corner room needed two windows but I'm only putting in one.
I went and spent $100 on new wood last night after taking this picture.
It's supposed to rain all day today.

Actually this is the last of the old wood. I had to splice scraps together just to make a 69-½" for under the window. But I ran out of screws. So it didn't get put up yet.
The other day I discovered that if I remove the center console I can fit ten foot lumber in the van. No need to rumble the old 77 Ford around.
Yesterday they only had 3 decent ten foot planks so I got a 12 footer. It also fits in the van with the rear door closed.

This is $100 worth of wood at today's prices. Just what's on the saw horses.
Four ten foot 1x12s at $17 ea. One 12 footer for $22 and a 6 ft for $10.
The mills couldn't get their pansy ass chicken shit CNN watching employees to come to work, according to the lady at the lumber yard.

That shit in the front happens to be directly beneath the cup holders. Use your imagination.
This van ain't been used to haul corpses around.
Unless my uncle Larry borrowed it...
