A couple of days ago , I asked for advice how to trim around a bath
vent i installed. Because my siding was not flat, I followed the
instructions and cut around the whole perimeter of the vent.
It turns out Lowes had a mounting block for this purpose. Although it
was too late for me since I already cut the opening, I improvised and
used the block. I think it came out pretty good

First 2 pics are before.
Third pic is the block I got from Lowes.
4th and 5th pic is the finished product.

Nice recovery.

One difference between an amateur and a professional is what they do
about a mistake. The amateur slaps on some cosmetics to hide the
mistake. The professional hitches up his belt and finds a solution.

Somewhere in between lies a balance of learning from your mistakes and
persevering.

Very nice recovery!

I was worried that you were going to get stuck with a cobbled up mess
but this turned out nice.

cheers
