I couldn't find a link, but what you basically do is saw the board with a circular saw lengthwise (only deep enough to go through the board). This will make a gap in the middle to give room to tear out the old board. The new board will need one side of the female "vee" cut off. The male vee then fits into the female vee of the existing board and then you just push the new board into place. You will probably want to silicone along the new seam first and then nail it in place.

I hope it is clear.

YES! I see what you mean, and I THANK YOU very much! It still has the lip on the outside, to stop the water getting in!

Why didn't I think of that!?!?!?

Thanks
