[Shop-talk] building off of a vinyl siding wall

[Thomas Coradeschi]

Great advice! Do make sure that you add a drip edge to the top of the header and do the other things to ensure that the sheathing stays dry. The OSB sheathing on your house will deteriorate quickly if it is allowed be wet for any period of time.

Normally siding edging (as shown in your example photo around the outlet) is used to maintain a waterproof boarder around the header board.   It is also a good idea to put a bead a caulk around and behind the header board.  We used Azak(sp?) to make a header that was low maintenance.
