I did my shop with the Hardi board planking 7 years ago. It takes paint very well, and is holding up just fine. I installed it myself. I tried to follow the installation instructions pretty close, except that I caulked where the next board touched the one it was installing against, and I used screws counter sunk slightly right above that joint as well as at the top of each new board per the instructions. It's amazing how you can hide the "holes" with some caulk and a putty knife!!!! Paint over and they are gone. The real wood trim at the entry door....not so much. Rotted out at one lower corner the second year. Need to take it out and replace it with the plastic stuff. Jim.

No, I'm not an electrician. Any information I share is purely what I would do myself. If in doubt, hire an electrician!

At a minimum, I'm Pentatoxic...Most likely I'm a Pentaholic. There seems to be no known cure. Pentatonix, winners of The Sing Off, s3.
