Today's word is "aggravation".
Started out trying to find those outlet blocks. I was successful at getting a substantial number of "say what?" looks from multiple Lowe's and Home Depot employees.
So, I gave that up and started blocking the vents. I learned that cutting hardi trim with a jigsaw is not much fun. I went through a bunch of blades so I had to make another trip to Lowe's to get more. The guy there showed me this fancy diamond blade which I bought and ruined in about 30 seconds. I finally just got pissed off and forced the cuts. I did get it done but not without a lot of frustration. (pics below).
Somehow I started with 3 4" vents but only have 2 now. I apparently sheathed over one. I probably won't go looking for it. It's the fan vent for the small 1/2 bath. I really don't care if the air goes in the attic.
Then I decided to put drip edge above the window trim. I thought this would be pretty easy only the drip edge wasn't right. My guess is it's made for wood trim and hardi trim is thicker. To make matters worse, Lowe's gave me 2 almost similar but not quite the same trim. The newer style trim is a bit smaller in each dimension making it even harder to make work. I almost had enough of the bigger stuff but of course I ran out before I could finish.
To top off my crappy day, I stepped on a nail, stepped on a piece of concrete that moved over and smacked my ankle, got bit by a spider or some bug, and this:
