When the mason had difficulty removing this section, this carpenter suggested that he had experience with covering it up. on my wife’s ok, He ramset 2x4s into the formstone and glued that osb up and installed it. removing the osb, maybe a possibility, but I have left it to this point thinking that I could just work with it. the whole problem was initiated when we couldn’t get in touch with him between agreeing to allow him to do it and him actually doing it (his end) + he was kinda a dbag when I asked him questions about installing the windows on the first floor. He was the mason’s (who we are getting ready to work with again) buddy… I should have been on site or I should have used someone I know… never again. how’s that for sidetracking I’ll reply more later Paul. thanks.

Yeah, I looked at the photo again and you do have some interesting issues with that roof stone. Particularly the proportions of what you might do on the rebuild. What’s behind the OSB? Good brick? Could the new flat stock be not quite as tall?

I can definitely visualize attaching 3/4 or 4/4 PVC to the top and face of the stone, then adding corbels or larger profile crown on the upper portion. Might even look decent with that combination plus the scalloped siding on the lower section.. IDK.

Salvage shops for corbels and such an option 2. Azek in a board and batten fashion or maybe 16′ Azek horizontally stacked and trimmed with the profile you mention. 3. and I think this may actually be the front runner… vertical, shake or scalloped vinyl siding over flashed/wrapped OSB. The real issue is that OSB is tucked up flush to the stone cap on the roof (yes)… I can’t figure if I want to try to attach something to the front of it. build on top of it and/or remove it and just do what? All he had to do was select a finish grade ply paint both sides and go from there. don’t get me strarted. that was a big learning experience. period.
