Now we're talking...

The Aluminum Siding is in!

We built the wood sub-structure first,

painted it

with exterior primer,

& fastened it

to the head, sill & jamb

with 3" screws

The siders fit the aluminum parts

to the sub-structure.

They 'dry-fitted' it first

before fastening it with

wafer head screws

& vertical beads of

construction adhesive.

After the corners, window trim & base

were fastened & flashed ,

the siding was cleated on

starting from the bottom.

The "T" will be 5/4 hardi-trim

painted to match

the window frames.
