Happy New Year.
I've got an issue where the siding under the cathedral ceiling is using the exterior siding of the 2nd level on the inside of the 1st level. I've got a split level on the 1st level, where the garage is 24" below the main floor, and the 2nd level is completely above the garage. The main level is L shaped around the garage. If I have a ceiling then the siding renders fine (including the wall space above the shelves), but if I switch to no ceiling for a cathedral, then the siding goes all wonky. I've tried deleting the roof and rebuilding, but to no avail. The issue happens above the bookshelves in the living room area. I've got a wall break where the interior LR wall meets the exterior wall at the right front corner of the LR.
Great room ceiling height is 9', garage ceiling height is 9', so the 2nd level and the main floor share walls, as the 2nd level floor is lower than the ceiling of the main level. Slab floor on main level.
So, any help on sorting out the siding in the living room would be great.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
