Will you hand me the clapboard, please?

The word clapboard originated in the 17th century in the area of New England. A clapboard is a narrow type of board used on the outside of some buildings.

The first thing to do when replacing clapboard siding is to remove the old siding and weatherproof the walls. Next, you should begin installation of the 1st clapboard on the bottom. A person can then nail each subsequent clapboard over the previous until the entire house is covered.
