On outside corners, you only need one vertical trim piece. Butt siding from both walls into that one vertical piece. Saves money, saves time. Also, trim on the windows looks bad with those large gaps. I believe that Hardie's instructions say to trim windows first, then butt siding to 1/8", then caulk. Also, don't know why you'd nail directly to sheathing/wrap and not to vertical strapping to provide air gap for air circulation and drying behind siding. That's code anyway in most places. Prevents rot/mildew
I bought official Hardie trim, and it doe NOT cut like wood. Just try to cut with a 10" chop saw and you see sparks and basically ruin the blade. I assume there are special blades for this. We resorted to the "score and snap" method.
Ok i learned to do trim with my grandpa and he puts siding first before trim but other i worked with say thats wrong trim goes first does it matter i think the my grandfather way better
HI..we have a house that had this siding installed about 6 years ago. SEveral peices are delaminating..and the owner wants them replaced. Is there any way to remove lower peices (near the deck line) without damaging the ones above???
window head flashing should be a folded up dam on the end. bending down encourages water to run off the end of the flash and run down the joint. end dams are mandatory in my area. the improvement is significant.
Great coverage of multiple choices in Hardie trim. More detail is needed on Caulking methods especially where "Not" to caulk. Details on type of nail would also be useful (stainless, galvanized, smooth or ring, etc..).
Trash product
Someone ruined all that trim 😅
What about flashing?
you go first.
Can hardieshingle be weaved on outside corners?
If you counter sink the nails using headless trim nails, what do you fill the holes with?
You should remove this. It is outdated and wrong info.

Ya, they make a thing called hardi blade.
Diablo blade for 10" is $100 bucks.

Sorry but the outside corners look like shit! Use AZEK instead and run the pieces through the table saw on a 45 degree angle.
We have this and those gaps are perfect homes for BEES! Yes, they crawl up their and lay larva,. We do not recommend.
GOOD JOB 👏

What type of calkin did you use
Anything exterior rated and paintable. Don’t use Alex Plus that stuff cracks outside
This isn't correct the nails should be 3/4 of an inch from the top of the board when blind nailing

At 3:50, the back edge of the trim board broke!
