Jerry: You leave this thing.open and you these corners open for leaks. <br />Rom: That's my concern, because the vinyl protects it, for, for good. That does expose <br />it, but by caulking -there are preventative measures I can take if this is what will get us <br />going on this. <br />Tim: Can you specify the caulk, now. <br />Rom: Specify?! <br />Tim: Silicon or latex? If it's latex, it doesn't really bond that well ... to wood. <br />Rom: Silicon. <br />Tim: Right, and you are willing to use silicon caulk? <br />Rom: It would have to be a100% silicon caulk. <br />A discussion of the virtues of various silicon caulks ensued between Rom, Jerry and Tim. <br />Rom: If I am going to leave the corners with the natural wood I am going to paint them <br />green just to, I think it would look far better, because like we had talked, I believe it was <br />you (Lynn) that made the comment about what we could do to accent the corners rather <br />than them being white. And I think that it would look fantastic if it was green along with <br />the soffit and fascia and the window trim. I think that would look very nice. <br />Todd: Just like the house across the street. <br />Rom: Yeah, basically, basically. <br />Todd: No, exactly like the house across the street, white and green trim. <br />Tim: I think it was the northeast corner of the house or the northeast side, when they did <br />the initial installation of the vinyl siding it went just about all the way to the ground. And <br />I know that we discussed that just a little bit and I think that the remedy for that was that <br />you were trying to conceal whatever asphalt shingle was present on the house in that area <br />and bring your vinyl all the way down to the ground. Has it been determined, once the <br />asphalt shingle is removed, if you wouldn't need to go down as far? <br />Rom: Here's what my plan for that was. We were going cut six inches up and take a 1"x <br />6"treated piece of lumber and wrap it in aluminum. Okay? And basically it would look <br />like a frieze board around, then you would have your frieze board look and then you <br />would see your block underneath. Okay? And being that it is treated and wrapped in <br />aluminum and then we'd J trim to the top of that, I think that that would look very nice. <br />k, <br />
