Brandon Whitmore Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Great picture. I've been recommending that people remove those trim boards for years for that exact reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocon Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I agree, the trim never seems to work well. Click to Enlarge 72.32 KB Click to Enlarge 76.43 KB Click to Enlarge 76.88 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 At least they used Z flashing. The practice around here seemed to be to use a horizontal 1 X 4 or 1 x 6 in lieu of Z flashing. Years later when the siding begins to show rot damage above the horizontal band, the original band (usually rot resistant cedar) is simply replaced with the next larger size piece of spruce or yellow pine from one of the big box stores. With lots of sloppily applied cheap caulk. Stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denray Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 On a two story, especially, you are loosing the sheer value when that one edge is no longer securely attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie R Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 See a lot of town homes built in the late 70's here in Maryland like Kevin stated, no flashing, just bigger and bigger trim boards with huge amounts of cheap caulk. Soon as you see the wood paneling on the outside, you know you have issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 The band over the z-bar was entirely superfluous. Without the band the z works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
