Just peel away the aluminum siding and let water get trapped between the aluminum and 100 year old wood. 
Erol,
Is that the same house with the SEC millimeters from the gutter? What a pit…
Yep! Sure is Mark. I’m fortunate to have many, many pics that I can share. I’ll post many of them tomorrow. I know everyone has inspections pics to share, but many that I will post are severe damages due to age and neglect of property.
That will do it Erol!!
