Referencing the flashing paper. It's typical in tracts for the window installer to place the window and tack the flashing out of the way. They are then supposed to fold it down.

Failing that, which is 100% of the time, the sider folds it over.

Sider obviously just said F U and continued on his way.

I'm kinda torn on that. I used to do really nice homes years ago in t-111. A good eggshell paintjob and keeping the sidewalks and soil at least 4 inches down and it holds up real nice.

Like everything else it's all in the application.

What screams crap to me is hardi. I can't stand that stuff.

True, Hardi is renewable construction, it has to be replaced every few years. There is a massive class action suit now against CertainTeed's fibercement siding.

Kind of like trying to attach a deck ledger to a house with T111 and flash it properly. I am sick of T111 from all of the work I did in the Poconos.

That's the key. Counterflashing is your friend. If that small principle were applied more frequently, most rot problems would evaporate.
