On outside corners, you only need one vertical trim piece. Butt siding from both walls into that one vertical piece. Saves money, saves time. Also, trim on the windows looks bad with those large gaps. I believe that Hardie's instructions say to trim windows first, then butt siding to 1/8", then caulk. Also, don't know why you'd nail directly to sheathing/wrap and not to vertical strapping to provide air gap for air circulation and drying behind siding. That's code anyway in most places. Prevents rot/mildew
Great coverage of multiple choices in Hardie trim. More detail is needed on Caulking methods especially where "Not" to caulk. Details on type of nail would also be useful (stainless, galvanized, smooth or ring, etc..).
I bought official Hardie trim, and it doe NOT cut like wood. Just try to cut with a 10" chop saw and you see sparks and basically ruin the blade. I assume there are special blades for this. We resorted to the "score and snap" method.
Ok i learned to do trim with my grandpa and he puts siding first before trim but other i worked with say thats wrong trim goes first does it matter i think the my grandfather way better

If you counter sink the nails using headless trim nails, what do you fill the holes with?
At 3:50, the back edge of the trim board broke!

Someone ruined all that trim 😅
Sorry but the outside corners look like shit! Use AZEK instead and run the pieces through the table saw on a 45 degree angle.
You should remove this. It is outdated and wrong info.
