We are going to reclad our daughters home using Harditex on battens over cypress "log cabin" weatherboard.

The house construction is timber frame atop brick dwarf walls.

My question is how do we finish the sheet where the frame meets the brick or do we continue the sheet down to ground level?

Cheers Bob W:

How much brickwork is there to cover height wise? If you fix harditex to the top of the brickwork, maybe you can bag or render brickwork to finish it off
