We're replacing a concrete landing with pavers. The concrete was about six inches higher than the foundation and butted up against the garage wall. As I'm chipping out a few inches of concrete to lay in the pavers, I have exposed the wood framing in the garage. The original sheathing was 1950's vintage fiberboard, and that is all gone. Pictures below will help explain. I want to make sure that I protect this area right, before I put in the pavers. The exposed wall is about 7' long. I'm guessing that I need flashing and plywood or a hardee backer type of product. So some questions on how to proceed.
How far down do I need to get the flashing?
Will construction adhesive be the right way to attach it?
Since there will be some concrete up against it and probably a one inch layer of sand, should I use hardee / cement board?
How far up do i need to go? I rather not pull off the old AL siding, because I know the older clapboard is still underneath, and I don't think the AL will take too much abuse without scratching or bending.
Any other things/concerns that I'm overlooking?
