    I once had all the aluminum siding removed from the large buildings used to dry hops, my advice is to sell it as scrap. Anyone who has used aluminum seting in the past only does this trip once.



    With hot and cold weather the aluminum sheet has a tendency to expand and contract elongating the nail holes once this happens even the slightest windstorm will remove the sheets blowing them into your neighbors yard.

    Any sheets still attached come of easy using a long handled shovel to work your way under the sheet then pry up. The head of the spade has the right angle which makes it the perfect tool.
