The idea of a cement board siding product was new to me until we moved down here to hurricane country. With a few tips from a contractor and the right tools, installing Hardie Board siding turned out to be a very straight forward project that any DIYer can do. Getting started and determining the amount of reveal you want for each board might prove to be the toughest challenge. After that it's just a matter of keeping everything level around multiple sides of the house and the windows and doors. Find out all of the installation details with some tips and tricks at the blog post link below!

The Space Between on Mar 07, 2014We have to do whatever our historic review board tells us to with the exterior, they weren't on the approved materials list. I know it doesn't make sense ... they also don't let homes install impact glass (hurricane) windows if they have wood windows, they have to replace with new wood windows and buy hurricane shutters (we're in Key West). The historic board is more worried about easthetics than practicality sometimes unfortunately.
