Shed project question
have a dumb question about my shed project......I'm constructing a 12x16
shed. have poured concrete slab and put down one row of concrete blocks, I will pick up lumber tomorrow. planning to use 5/8" T-111 plywood siding. Question is should I frame so that siding sits on top of concrete blocks or should I frame with 2x4s to edge of concrete blocks and overhang siding? Total height of walls including concrete blocks is 7' thanks |

G Outside the blocks should work OK. Some installers will chamfer the square bottom of the siding 45 degrees toward the inside to have a nice sharp outside drip edge. Paint the edge well, of course.
