I'm a lefty and I still struggle to put Tyvek up. Not physically, but mentally.
#30 felt says "Put me up any way you like, I look and perform just as well, right or left."

[Tom Struble]

i had a feeling you were gonna say that

I won't enter the tyvek vs. felt contention. But, one thing I know for certain is that lefties make the world right.

Good Luck

Lefties in a right handed world....we can use both hands equally! I love it when people struggle to get the right angle, I just switch hands.

Don't dare let TomR see this....

Why is it that I'm never in the IN crowd. I'm a righty and I'm not even very good with that.

[Tom Struble]

I like it like that too.

[WNYcarpenter]

Again, very nice! I like the shadow lines.

couple more questions....

This was a reside?

you tore off the old wood siding (butting), left the trim, sided to the old corners, casing, etc...then applied new trim?

I like the look, and making a reside easier... but it would be a hard sell to my PM. is there a water table/skirting

[Tom Struble]

house had alum/asb/then origional clap
i took of thealum/ and asb left the origional clap siding
origional corner boards and water table were previously removed

i installed 1/2'' osb to the entire house over the claps butting up against the origional window and door trim

[Tom Struble]

yes there is a water table detail but i have no pics of it
here is what i started with
