Reply #1: Why are you afraid of what you will see ?

It's summer time, just remove those boards ! The garbage can,- can handle what ever it is you see or see not !At worst you will see weather rot,thats about it unless you think hornets are in there, if thats the case just get a can of Raid. Get yer pry bar in there and work the boards off.Start off by prying the nails out not all the way at first and work yer way up the board untill you get a feel for it. Start out a little at a time moving up as you go. It's not much different than prying out a molding strip you want to keep-you work it out carefully.

Good Luck !
