    Outdoor home improvement/landscaping
    Thank you. I also need to replace the siding that is at the lowest level because of water damage. I will also be replacing the gutters. My home is on a slab of cement. There seems to be old foam insulation that needs to be replaced. Can I do both, replace the foam with rigid foam insulation and a homosote expansion joint board? And then form for the cement pour?
