All the wood on the sides was so rotten that there wasn't much to use as a pattern. Additionally the factory didn't miter anything, it's all square cut then tacked together. Maybe they didn't have a miter saw?
All the duct tape on the siding is to try and keep our tarps from ripping to shreds. It's tornado season here in the midwest and the wind never stops blowing.
