The 24" explanation just blew my mind. This is genius. Smart design. Smart implementation. Love it.

I install James Hardie siding for a living up in Canada. For board and batten we always strap out the walls with 1x4 straps so that condensation doesn’t build up between the sheets and the wall. We use colour matched James Hardie battens so that they match the sheet colour perfectly and use colour match aluminum for all the flashings.

Another well explained on every detail that is needed and should be noted. As a Certified Home Inspector I was happy to see your explanation between the siding nail and a finishing nail. As there are a lot of times you won't see nail head sizes due to the over lay. One thing I see a lot is that builder don't switch between the nail guns and I find after looking closely a ton of finishing nail heads. All ask, well "what's the problem with that, besides a lazy builder not changing to the proper sliding nail gun and nail head size." Answer is simple, as I said before If installed correctly you shouldnt find many head nail exposed in the first place. But the biggest reason why you are to use a sliding nail with a head is to keep the wind from slamming against the outside structure and lifting the James Hardie or LP siding w and ripping it off the wall. As Matt said the ring shanks they're pretty tough to pull out at that with a big diameter head keeps it in place rather using finishing nail the wind would be able to just pull the sliding right off that tiny nail head.

This is the most helpful video I've found on this topic. Thanks.

I’ve found out that a dewalt nibbler does a great job cutting the hardie board. There’s literally minimum to no extreme dust and the cuts are very clean. You just have to look at your cut line & make sure that the sides of the nibbler is on it. Do a little practice on a scrap piece and I think you’ll enjoy using it, instead of using a saw with a hardie-blade.

A Wise man once told me you are only as good as the flashing you install. You gotta think like water 🤘

I need 12 things to know .... maybe more! Thanks Matt always love catching up with your vids

Shouldn’t you gap the panel a 1/4” above the Z-flashing to avoid capillary action?

Preparing to have my siding done on my new construction home and wanted to know more about the process. This video was so helpful! Thanks so much for sharing.

[HerefordGal]

Thank you for a very informative video. We have very old vinyl siding and live in the high desert of Nevada, where the wind and sun take it's toll. We are also rural, so we are considering having our contractor friend come help us do this. Thank you again!

You can also use the electric scissor that’s made to cut the James Hardie boards and I think we can use that for most of the cuts

I'm planning on GCing my personal house build and was hoping to do the B&B myself. You always put out top notch (informative) content. Really appreciate it.

[geomod]

Thanks Matt. I'm looking into using this siding for a project I'm working on. Thank you for the helpful information.

[garygerfelder]

thanks for a great explanation and instruction on installation. I will be trying this later this year on my garage
