Yes, I have used some cement board at work and was quite impressed with it. And a lot of it nowadays is made with recycled fly ash.<BR/><BR/>Hey Woody! Yes, I like it too and yes, it's heavy! Especially when you are hanging it by yourself. God, I thought I was going to die!<BR/><BR/>Hey Richard! Ha! That irritates you too huh?! lol! As much as I hate Pella you would think that I would not advertise for them so. See, a friend gave me those windows but as with free stuff, sometimes there is a catch and that is they didn't come with any of the cranks to open them. They are casement windows and the stickers are all on the inside, between the panes and I just have not had the time to order new cranks or sit there with a pair of pliars and open those stupid things. <BR/><BR/>Hey Molly! That's OK; I'm glad you posted here. He is cute and we call electricians Sparky too! It was a funny story and one I STILL hear about at work. Never live that one down. lol!<BR/><BR/>Hey FC! Thanks! Yes, the grain is wonderful. I had never worked with it before but love it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much karl! My image of the house is getting better also! I am trying to come up with a drawing or something showing the house completely done but I'm not real good at some computer stuff.<BR/><BR/>Hello Jenn! Thanks so much. I will show how I installed the siding. It's sort of a pain but I think it works better than putting the trim over the siding.MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-12293143515094190442008-05-07T21:52:00.000-05:002008-05-07T21:52:00.000-05:00Love that simple trim detail.

It's all in the details. And you've got it.

The siding is a wonderful product. I did help hang the siding (it was the first time for the general and me) and I really liked just about everything about it. I had done several houses in cedar siding which brings me to my point on hardie board. It gets damned heavy around 2:30p.<BR/><BR/>The house will love its new skin.<BR/><BR/>peaceWoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877959836671583682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-11945772871771277622008-05-07T00:51:00.000-05:002008-05-07T00:51:00.000-05:00That's real nice looking window trim!

I love the look the wide trim gives. <BR/><BR/>I'm very impressed by how well our fiber-cement siding took paint (although we didn't get the Hardie brand). I even used the fiber cement to protect the foam insulation around the perimeter of my monolithic slab, and so far none has bubbled or peeled. Amazing.<BR/><BR/>RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630929746033282061noreply@blogger.com
