Label Shutters for Reinstallation and Orientation

flip them over. You want to know, we've got a lot of shutters on this house, so we want to know exactly where this one came up cuz every hole and every screw hole is different. So, I've got a roll of tape here. In the shutter itself, you can see there's a bottom and top portion. Fat portion down here. The arched portion is the top of the shutter. So, you want to make note what's the top. So, you don't install them. Everybody does it. They install them upside down. Then, you got to go back and reinstall them. So, we put a piece of tape. We're going to put an arrow showing that's up. And then we'll shutter. This will be number one. And then um you want to number yours in some type of logical system. You know, I can start right here and go number one from left to right or you can start over there. Whatever works for you. You got to get some type of numbering system. So this shutter will get back up to where it goes. And you can't put a mark on the house because even though the shutter is going to go up, you end up painting that mark. So it's just good. We use usually start from the left and we start with number one and work our way to that side of the house. And that's how you'll remove the shutters once they're painted. Or if you're not going to paint them and the house is painted, they just reinstall the exact way they come off. Make sure you flip them over, look on the back, determine whether they're paintable or not before you decide to paint them. This is Chris, the Idaho Idaho Painter.
