Cut New Section of Board
Cut a new section of board to fit. Saw off the tongue of the new board. You may have to secure it in a work bench to make the cut.
Attach New Board
Secure the new board in place, nailing through its face because there is no available tongue for angled blind nailing.
Add Finishing Touches
Fill the nail holes with putty then sand when dry. Then paint the board to match the surrounding surface.
