A corner board is damaged at the bottom as the downpipe was missing and rainwater fell onto the panel.

Unfortunately, it's not just a matter of removing it because details around the doorways must be removed first otherwise. Unnecessary hassle, I think.

  • Considering taking a board to the miter saw, cutting the end at an angle.
  • Using this board as a template, placing the multi-master against the template and making an angled cut in the panel board.
  • Breaking off the damaged lower part. Then making a new board that matches and nailing it in place.
  • Paint and move on with life.
(thought of cutting a bit above the hinge.)

It seems like an okay plan for an outbuilding; it seems like they used to splice at random without even angling to avoid water getting deep in between... or that’s what I guess, haven't removed such boards yet to see how they did it.

Just do it! Throw on some utefog in the seam and you'll have double condoms ;)

If possible, it's best to always slant and insert. Maybe it's possible to create a small angle just under the hinge.

And if not, I'm a bit of a wood nerd and therefore like to use wood glue and sawdust in the joints. Sand it down roughly, and I think it turns out really well. Use a knife or something to press the paste into the joint.

Sawdust? Should the sawdust go between the boards or just on the cut to camouflage it?
 
In between, then sand down and paint. Ancient times' joint ;)

Exactly - you mix a grout from it. The wood glue becomes transparent when it dries :)
