Should vinyl siding be installed over OSB or foam board?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
smoke20rules asked:


We started putting up OSB, not we are told foam board is a better insulator and the siding will install straighter. Also told OSB will splinter when nailed to (haven’t had a problem) and has a tendency for the nails to eventually pop out of and the board warp. The siding instructions seem to prefer over wood installation. OSB would strenghten the house, would it not provide extra insulation also and the OSB is the perfect thickness to line right up with the door and window frames. What are the pros and cons of each?

We had wood siding. We are removing it. It was installed over old sheathing from the 50s, which we are leaving on the house.

Johnny ` asked:


Ok, so i just got a really nice MTX Banner in the mail, and i thought they stick on your front or back window on the inside of the car. But the stickyness isn’t on the letters side, do they go on the outside of your front or back window ? Please help.
yea, i pealed some of it off and its like a normal big sticker lol. so i guess it goes on the outside? but wouldn’t it make more sense to go on the inside?

daphne asked:


I’d prefer to make it because I want it to be custom fit to the back window of my truck.
here’s a similar picture:

but I want it to be cut around the edges of the shape so that it doesn’t leave a rectangle around my graphic.
What is the cheapest way to make this?
I’ve seen those cheapy sticker makers on amazon.com (the xyrons), but I don’t think those will cut around the picture like I want it to; that is my main concern.
Any thoughts?
