I had a couple of minutes to look at it this afternoon.  <\/p>\n<p>I headed out with my drill and a couple of screws to tie it back down.  A shard of it had broken free with the screw intact.  So I tried to remove the screw from the shard so I could put it all back together, but I stripped the screw head.  Fine, I&#8217;ll just align the board properly with the shard with the screw in it and screw the rest of the board back into place.<\/p>\n<p>The board no longer fit into the slot alloted to it.  I tried to tap it in with a hammer, but after examining the board below it, I saw that it had warped up so that the whole length of the board was not going to fit.  Judging by the twist at the end of the loose board, I don&#8217;t wonder if the slow warping of the bottom board wasn&#8217;t what caused the board to spring loose in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I suppose the proper way to fix it would be to replace both of the boards.  However, that&#8217;s not the way we do it in my family.<\/p>\n<p>With long enough screws, anything is possible.  So I screwed the board back into place with a little overlap at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>So, now, a musical interlude describing how to best inspect my repairs and paint jobs:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lN4AcFzxtdE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Watch for an update in this space in a couple of weeks, wherein Brian discovers that an animal of some sort had been using this loose board as a gateway to a den and has died under his shed and has begun to smell really, really bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A board came loose from beneath my shed, and it&#8217;s been waving in the breeze for a couple of months (probably in multiples of twelve).
