Lets hope so. I'll keep everyone updated on the outcome. Thanks again for the help.

Dang. Sounds like we might be screwed then. Guess all I can do is hope the builder has a heart. Which I suppose is unlikely. Here are a few more pics of the brick. Should I be able to see all the way through to the moisture barrier? This is my first new construction purchase. What a headache! Thank you for all your replies. http://www.flickr.com/photos/78522521@N08/

The house was a new construction purchased under a VA loan so I believe it was the local new construction building inspector that did the final inspection. Can I give the county a call and have them send out another inspector? Do I have any options here? I have an e-mail out to James Hardie with pictures. Still waiting to hear back from them. Sorry about reposting so in so many places. I'm just pissed. We have only been in the house 2 months and i'm deploying soon so I need to get some answers. I can't believe builders are still cutting corners like this. Such a cheap fix to do right the first time. Some peoples kids. Joe

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and desperate for some help to put my mind at ease here. I just bought a new house in Navarre, FL and have some issues with the siding that seem pretty suspect. 1.) James Hardie siding insatalled using vinyl trim/flashing I've never seen this done before. Looks cheap and just wrong usingvinyl siding products with James hardie siding. 2.) A lot of the flashing installed seems like it will just dump water right into the wall. (there are no holes drilled into the bottom of the J-channel at the base of the siding) Please reference pictures. I am not a contractor and don't know much about building houses. The flashing install just does not seem right. Thank you for your input. Link to photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/78522521@N08/
