HardiPlank Siding

They started the siding. After a number of ideas of what to use it ended up a 12" horizontal rough cedar look.
First the 1"x4" trim went up and then the siding, starting slowly 'cause the first course is important to get right.
I haven't decided what color to paint it. When I was going to use wood I was just going to stain it. Actually the primer color looks pretty. Maybe I'll go with a light grey. Of course I hear the mud daubers avoid light blue so that might be a plan. I'll have to investigate whether that's just a tale.
What they've done sure looks good so far.
