I guess my concern is more about the interaction between the brick wall and the hardy wall.

UBC 1405.3 mentions "Flashing shall be installed at the .. penetrations and terminations of exterior wall assemblies... and similar locations where moisture could enter the wall."

Don't get me wrong. I'd like nothing better than to hear I have nothing to worry about. I just don't understand why every other house has the flashing but mine doesn't. It seems too easy for the siding installer to say it's not needed and the other guys were doing overkill.

Thanks,

Jay
