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

Re: Cheat Or Not To Cheat
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?

Re: Cheat Or Not To Cheat
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.

Re: Cheat Or Not To Cheat
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.
