My current siding job includes installation of factory-made Certainteed PVC corner trim. The walls are sheathed with 1by boards, and the sheathing does not extend past the framing for any wall.... in other words, when I hold a scrap of pvc corner board in place, there's a vertical gap under the corner trim running up its entire length, and the gap is 3/4" square in cross section because the 1by sheathing boards are not butted up one against the other.

Whaddya'll think? Should I do anything to fill that gap before applying housewrap? I'm thinking of at least adding a small bit of PVC scrap to fill the gap at least at the bottom to help keep out vermin and backsplash, since the sill is only 6" above grade.

Thanks for your thoughts; I used to offer pennies, but hey - there's a recession on.

i usually do an aluminum wrap [6x6] over the tyvek on all my corners and i wrap a ''bug shield'' along the bottom at the starter line under the wrb to close off the sheathing from the foundation
