great work.
The Doing Vinyl Siding Right article is excellent. There are a lot of ways for water (especially driven rain) to work its way between the pieces of vinyl. In our Dallas home inspection work, we see quite a few leaky installations that have led to expensive interior damage, mold and rot. This is not a job for amateurs (or professionals) who aren't familiar with how all the different trim pieces are supposed to work to keep out the water.
