Steve, we really needed to hear about siding. Here on Prince Edward Island, where salt is in the air, we have to be careful. I thought Harding cement board has now upgraded so that it is Atlantic area friendly aka: salt resistant of sorts. Thanks Steve 🙏🇨🇦☺

Smart to point out around the 7 minute mark of no need for an inside corner cover if planning and thinking is in play. Thanks for pointing that out. 🙏🇨🇦

Siding looks fantastic. Appreciate the the explanation for the variations; I knew it looked good but didn't understand the "why". 👍 When do you need to pre-paint edges before installing? Is that just for larger gaps?

[@stevenbaczekarchitect9431]

Larger gaps

[@kpezzolesi]

If you install the nickel gap horizontally, will there be any issues with water retention or staining from the ledge at the gap?
