I have a 60+ year old house with wood siding. I have to paint it or replace the siding. If I stay with the wood siding, I was thinking about puting in screws where the nails have pushed out from the siding. The nails don't have much bite anymore. So, I was wondering what people thought of the idea of using screws. I live in Arkansas, so moisture is a big problem. Thanks

But don't overtighten them because I've seen them pulled thru as the house settles or swells.
>Galvanized deck screws. Totally great idea. Do it sooner rather than later.
