Traveled out-of-state yesterday on short notice so I didn't get to work on the house. Today I sanded about half of the clapboard on the backside with a palm sander and 60 grit sandpaper. I do not recommend the sander vac pro (made by the paint shaver people) to finish off the clapboard. It is very easy to gouge the wood with that tool and any ordinary palm sander will work better. Here is the "before photo" of the clapboard:
Here is the same area after getting hit with the palm sander/60 grit:
The slight circular indentations are from the paint shaver. I'm hoping the paint can cover that up.
Tomorrow I'll finish up sanding, spot prime the nailheads and fill in any holes with wood putty. Will probably lay some primer down this weekend.
