(FOX 2) – – This week our Jill of All Trades, Jill Washburn is showing us we can make our own vinyl siding for our house or garage. As with most successful projects, prep work is key.

The first thing you want to do, says Jill, is to cover your plywood jacket with house foil. House wrap is a breathable synthetic fabric that releases water vapor but prevents water droplets from entering so moisture is not trapped behind your siding. It’s great protection for your structure and it’s not difficult to take.

Jill of All Trades is preparing for a new siding

In this episode of Jill of All Trades, she shows us how to prepare your home or garage for your new vinyl siding.

You’ll need to stretch the home wrap around the wall you’re working on and tack it on with a hammer stapler. It goes up quickly and doesn’t have to look perfect or pretty because everything is covered up anyway. Once you’ve covered the entire span, you can tape all the seams shut. You may also need to glue the edges of the house wrap onto the plywood. It’s all super easy to do.

After the house wrap is done, it’s time for the starter strip.

The starter strip is a small strip of aluminum that should be nailed to the bottom of the wall so that your first row of siding can hook onto it.

The main thing here is that the starter strip is as level as possible. If your starter strip isn’t level, your siding will be up to the wall.

Also, make sure, says Jill, that your starter strip is level and aligned on both sides of things like doors, chimneys, etc. If it doesn’t, it can make things more difficult as you work your way up the wall. You may want to snap a chalk line into place to just keep the starter strip level as you descend. The starter strip should be nailed firmly to the wall, with the nails no more than 16 inches apart.

Next you need to hang the J-channel.

This is the edge piece that surrounds things like doors, windows, paneling work, etc. Wherever a line of siding would stop there should be a J-channel to cover the cut ends.

Like the siding itself, the J-channel is available in many colors. Jill says some people customize the J-Channel to match the color of their disguise. Others fit the siding. Jill usually matches it to the trim color as it adds extra lines and dimensions to the trim. However, this type of thing is really just a personal preference.

Additionally, Jill advises NOT to nail the J-Channel firmly to the wall. The correct way to hang it, Jill says, is to nail it down the center of the slots at the top, placing the nails no more than 12 inches apart. When you’re done, you should be able to slide it back and forth very easily so that it can expand and contract with changes in temperature over the year.

Jill says the J-channel cuts easily with a good pair of tin snips. However, she warns that the vinyl will become a little more brittle in cold weather. So if you work in cold temperatures, be a little more careful when nailing. A missed hammer blow could crack or even break your J-channel.

While hanging the J-Channel, Jill tells her to “think like a raindrop”. You need to think about how water will drain on the side of the house.

The J-channel over things like windows and door frames should extend a little beyond the J-channel pieces that run along the sides of the window or door. Then you should cut off a small flap at the bottom of the J-channel at the top and fold it over the side panels. This will ensure that the water that gets into this top will drain the sides properly and will not run behind the siding. Jill shows how to do this in the video above.

With your house packing and starter strips and J-channel parts in place, it’s time to start the actual siding. Jill will do this for us in the next episode.
