So I put an azek cleat up to butt the hardiplank up to. Then I padded the corner - you can see on the ones that aren't done yet, only 2 are finished. Put a 1x12 piece of azek (rhino actually) on each side of the corner, than put the azek premade corner over that. Balanced it on the other side of the pilaster with a piece of 5/4 to the same rip, overlayed to form a J channel over the hardiplank.

Hopefully that'll make sense if you look at the pics. I wanted some strong greek revival allusions

Thanks on the land, I'm working on it - clearing the forest here got me into tractors. Hired a guy with a kubota, and as I was helping him cut it down, decided, "I need to get one of those"

Charles thanks for the info keep up the good work
