I just replaced exterior trim on my garage with pre-primed 3/4″ spruce trimboards. What garbage! A lot of the boards were cupped and twisted and split when I nailed them up. Even the straight/flat boards tended to split on the ends, even when I drilled them first.
What should I have used? I know I can’t expect to go out and buy the sort of wood used when garage was originally built (1920s) but there’s got to be a better alternative.
