How do I close the gap from the exterior cladding overhang to the foundation?

derek hill April 2, 2021Last updated: April 5, 2021

i will be removing my exterior timber cladding and adding a further 100mm of insulation and installing new timber cladding on the outside, All around the base of the house is stone so the cladding would stop about 400mm up from ground level,

my question is how do i close the gap from the exterior cladding to the stone, as there would be an overhang of 100mm due to the extra insulation., basically my house is 100mm bigger all around than the stone foundations.

hopefully ive explained my problem correctly
