I have a stucco sided house that i am repairing repainting.
Gap between light and siding.
Twist the white wire from the light fixture to the white wire coming from the wall using a clockwise motion.
Light channels were stapled underneath ran the lights and soldered the wires.
Use a wire cap to secure the two white wires together.
What s the best way to fill that gap.
Two coats of primer and two finish coats with sanding in between.
Do not caulk between siding and any built in receiving channels located at or around windows.
Vertical trim gap caulking.
The gap between the wall and the trim is fairly large at least 1 2 inch.
Twist your wire cap on to secure the two wires.
Threw up the shelves secured with screws.
And very often with the old wood windows there is a brick mold.
Always caulk between the siding and the trim.
It seems too wide for a bead of caulk.
I let my oldest spray the primer for practice and then the bottoms of the shelves.
In all about a 10 day project with some cycling and swimming in between.
Leave a 1 8 gap between the siding and the trim or other materials to allow for structural movement.
That s what actually when i say brick mold that s what it s called.
Twist the black wire from the light fixture to the black wire coming from the wall using a clockwise motion.
Always prime or paint any cut edges that are inserted into a window j channel.
Wipe away any excess caulk.
In the course of repairs some of the caulk weatherstripping between the trim and the house came off.
Wet your finger and gently wipe the caulk in the gap to give it a smooth rounded appearance.
During my time working for james hardie i very rarely got calls from homeowners that wanted to submit a warranty claim for their hardie siding.
Now when it comes through the wall there probably in the old window design was a brick mold or a trim that went around the outside of that window that was wider.
