Pros and Cons of Slab/Post n' Pier

[Carey]

Dave, We are just starting to intall plastic trim. For obvious reasons, we are trying to use very little wood, so any trim we will use will be plastic. They say you can weld it with clear PVC cement, but I had a devil of time trying to weld it in-place, then jigged up clamping rig.... it did work, but was not at all convient. May end up caulking the cut ends (esp. if I can learn to caulk like Royall! Man he draws some pretty clean caulk lines!)
