too one of the questions is you know am I going to ends of the corner boards ends of window trim stuff like that if I was to right here that's what we would call 100% cocking package and that's not standard I would charge you know us significantly more to fill all that in don't want to caul everything you know and seal it all up cuz you want the siding to be able to breathe corner board right here Corners Nails the nail jobs not too bad there's any that are sticking up really high you just definitely want to set those with a hammer but these are pretty big gaps so you want to have an excellent cocking so I do highly recommend Big Stretch that's what I use on all my cocking jobs
