Let's install some siding. We are big fans of LP SmartSide and have used it for many years. A big advantage to Zip System is that we don't need to install a WRB. So in this video, I can jump straight to layout for the sides and rear of the house. Layout for lap siding is very easy and there is no need for a laser to establish control points on this house. We prefab our window trim when we can, but we don't use time consuming techniques like pocket screws or biscuits. Instead we use a corrugated fastener tool. Square cuts are preferred with LP SmartSide and these joints are nice and strong, but the taller and wider your trim, the more likely you need a second pair of hands to help carry it.
