cheat or not to cheat
when running up a 3- story condo with terrible framing ..windows all over the place,would you go 4 and go,or would you cheat to make windows look like the fall on a coarse(windows are 1/2 up and down all the way down the line)im just finishing up a 5 building project 260 units. It was my first time with hardy and pvc trim alot of learning as you go, at least the owner is pleased and it's coming out better than the other outfit that did the previous phase.......input would be great

I'm gonna take a wild guess
and say, you have windows
that aren't level with each other
and you're having a problem
making them look right with
the siding courses?

Best I know is set your
coursing for the high ones.
A tad low won't look as bad
as a tad high.
If they are 12' apart you
could cheat a bit, but 24"
doesn't give you much choice.
Maybe Patrick, Doug, or one
of the other window guys has
a trick for you.

Find a happy medium for your siding courses, and then adjust your J or window trim so that it lines up with the siding. Makes it perfect everytime.
