Hello from the midwest,
Where we use vinyl siding to replicate logs?

Have a bid to do on log cabin vinyl siding (labor only) and have never installed it before so had some questions:
Rustic Ridge log cabin vinyl siding made by RMC siding in Fremont OH
info: The stuff (12' pcs) is foam backed and appears to have a profile where it protrudes out from wall about an inch. I see they sell two sizes of J channel, one normal 5/8" and other 1-1/8" to accept the panels. Looks like it locks together like normal vinyl siding with normal nailing hem.
1) I assume you would have to cut with a saw because of the foam and the shape? (similar to cutting vinyl soffit)
2) We have never installed the foam backed siding before let alone foam backed log siding so I am not sure how much longer it is going to take to deal with the siding itself, the foam corners etc? I will allow extra time for this type of installation but if you've dealt with it before maybe you have info on this.
Customer will supply all materials so I am not concerned with that aspect of the job.
Thank you,
Dave C
