Stripping the siding off the exterior popout. This ended up being another point of contention with the contractor as his scope of work stated he would not be doing any electrical, plumbing or interior finishing work. I argued that providing new siding, staining it and fabricating new inside and outside corner trim was part of his scope and he would have to cover it. Follow up discussions revealed this guy wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and some heated text exchanges occurred. More on this later.
