Have you considered flipping the boards? When you flip over the boards, you'll probably find that you have good bare wood. Repair the cracks and holes. You can wash both sides with a mixture of 2 ounzes of tri-sodium phosphate or phosphate free substitute plus 1 quart liquid bleach in 3 quarts of water. Let the solution sit on the wood for 15-20 minutes but don't let it dry on the surface. Power wash the cleaner from the surface. Allow the wood to dry for 3 good dry days. Put the boards back up with screws instead of nails. Apply a good stain and you'll have a beautiful cedar wall again.
