Redoing the siding (vinyl) and flashing after a new shingle install.
With a profile like this how does one overlap at the peak so that it isn't just relying on a bead of sealant where the two butt up against each other.
Having a hard time wrapping my head around it due to the angles.
I tried to get some overlap but then ended up with the line being angled instead of straight.
(ignore the gap in the dripedge - whole other deal)
I wondered. About drove myself crazy up on the scaffolding snipping a little piece here and a little piece there trying to get something to work.
I'll pull the fascia that's there, remake some and then put some flashing tape along the wood behind it so that on the off-chance there is some water penetration, it will roll down and onto the housewrap.
[color=#383a3b]I am making a living space in part of a shop. The shop had No Wrap just OSB siding on 2x4 studs. We thickened the 2x4 external wall by adding a second 2x4 wall for running our plumbing + electric. We are ready to start insulation. We now have a whole 2x4 wall dedicated to insulation and we have both pink bats and pink foam board. We also have both GE Advanced Silicone and GE All Purpose Silicone. The bldg (shop) was never wrapped it is just osb siding on studs. part of the shop we are making into an ADU. This is why we bought the silicone.
Considering first sealing up each interior perimeter of each stud bay and any seams we come across with silicone. Then putting in a layer of bat and then a layer of foamular.
Would that be a good method considering it was not wrapped? [/color]also, would it be advised to put a layer of plastic or house wrap up? Where? against the osb? Or enclosing all the insulation?
Honestly, the more articles I read about vapor, air and moisture the more confused I get...it is kind of a black hole of info.

Hello all,
I noticed a crack in the window sil/stool, with one end coming up. Material looks to be PVC. Most of the repairs seem to focus on wood rot, but I wasn't able to find much information on how to correctly perform this repair on cracked PVC in this location. I was initially thinking some sort of PVC filler/glue, but wasn't sure how this would hold up with changing temperatures. Would appreciate any advice/thoughts. Pictures below:
