harditrim
i was looking at installing harditrim on the corners when i replace my siding
but the sizes dont make sense to me?
the trim now is 3 1/2 on one wall and 4 1/2 x 1 on the other so the sides are the same size
the harditrim comes in
3 1/2
5 1/2
7 1/4
11 1/4

do you have to ripe a piece or just not have them even on each side??
thanks Johnny

Yes, if you wanted the sides to appear equal, you would buy half and half, and rip the 5 1/2" trim down to 4 1/2. If you can make a *very straight rip* you "could" buy the 7 1/4, and rip it down the middle into 2 pieces- one of them 3 1/16 and the other 4 1/16... the blade will eat up the other 1/8. But I don't like ripping the harditrim so I usually avoid using it altogether.
