I just recently started doing over my three season porch. While taking down some insulation i found that one of my window frames was infested with ants. I have to replace the window frame and put the window back in. In order to do this I have to remove quite a bit of my exterior vinyl siding. I was woundering if it will be ok to rehang the existing siding or do i have to go out and get new siding?:confused:

No problem to re-use. It will come off easily.
IF you have a color like a blue or green, you should watch the old vinyl in case it has faded some, where the lap was at the end won't have faded, and you'll have to try to make sure to get that end back under the next piece so you don't have a"two toned" look :)
