Hi guys
Quick question. I am thinking that these are just old concrete forms left in the foundation after pouring. One was rotted with insect activity. They do not go all the way through the concrete I can't tell how far they go above the siding. What do you guys think? Safe At Home Inspections,Inc.

I've seen those twice in the last 2 years. I think they are nailing strips for siding. They allow the siding installers to install the siding down the foundation walls further.

Are they only in the corners? One would think they should have used treated lumber this close to the ground.

Pest control guy is going to say it is not correct.
Possible forms, possible siding attachements. |
