Question

Windows Or Siding...which Project To Do First.


I think I know the answer....but looking for thoughts.

I will be replacing all windows and siding on my house during the spring/summer. Which project should I do first.

I guess it makes sense to do the windows first.....does that sound right?

Thanks, I am here to have some fun and maybe learn a thing or two.....

Yea, that Avatar makes perfect sense for 'my style'....

There's a great group of guys here with only one (that I have seen so far) that can't take a joke. But sometimes those type of people make it very interesting and amusing for me (and my Avatar).

Do them both at the same time and you will have the most options and flexibility with both. However if you can't afford to do them both at the same time, windows first.

windows and capping first if the window are going to be recessed! makes J'ing (channeling)around the windows alittle neater.
