I am tearing off the 4x8 sheets of siding from my house. It is a 100 year old house and lacks insulation. There are two more layers under the 4x8, the original siding and sub layer. I was able to do the north wall from the ground and pretty much rip the siding off by hand. I have no leverage on the south side, and came up with a fine neander tool...
