Checking over my barge boards/soffits this weekend with a view to
rubbing down and repainting.
They are rotten in a couple of patches.

As a cheapo option, I am planning to cut the rotten patches back to
sound wood, replace with new timber, then paint.

Anyone done this and got tips for such a project? The only problem is I
may have to remove the guttering in one place.

Fortunately, its a bungalow.
