CONT

Wood shingles, as a rule, are easier to repair than clapboard. You can usually fix those that have split or warped by simply nailing them down with aluminum or galvanized nails. If the shingle is on the exposed side of the house ... cut a piece of roofing paper approximately the size of the shingle and slip it underneath the shingle before nailing it down.
