Hello,
I want to start re-siding my house soon but have a few questions on what to do about the two issues below.
Issue #1: Interface with chimney
One side of the house has a chimney and won't be covered with vinyl siding (See first and second pic). Would corner flashing be used and adhered to the chimney? I'm at a loss on how to ensure the chimney/siding interface is protected properly.
Issue #2: Stepped foundation
The house is on a sloped grade so the foundation has two 8" steps in it. The last pic shows the location of one of the the foundation steps drawn in black.
I wasn't going to originally, but now I plan on installing skirt-board/water table board around the perimeter of the house. What's the best way to deal with these steps? Just simply install the skirt following the foundation steps and install starter and j-trim as required?
How would you deal with this if no skirt-board was installed? Angle the starter strip or make the siding stepped as well?
Any pointers would be great!
Thanks,
Mike
