Hi!
I have a project to cut an opening and frame an addition for a fireplace in an existing wall. The opening I have to cut is 5x4' vinyl cedar shake siding. The frame needs to be 5x4x4.
I also have to pour foundation for the addition.
What's the best way to cut the siding?
I don't know if I have to screw wood into the siding before I cut so that it doesn't fall, and then frame and slide j channels in existing siding.
I'm also not sure of how deep the foundation should be. This is for a gas fireplace that does not need a chimney.
