Hello

Power Meter on side of house with elbow 90 degress into the siding 7" above starter strip

Powers been shutdown and I have it pulled away from the wall. Its about a 3" Round cut ill have to make somehow.

How do you cut siding or design trim around the elbow that goes into the side.

Router?


I also thought about boxing around the entire thing but that would look kind of stupid with a dark siding with white outlined trim.

All of these suggestions will work. But... The siding shear will not give you a clean cut, they are more for straight lines mostly. The hole saw is expensive and will be ruined. The multi tool with carbide blade would be hard to get a clean line as well. Use a jig saw and consider the blade done for after a few cuts, they are cheap.
