Ok I was about to go off about flashing at but joints until the update at the end lol. Well done. I am going to DIY this myself. I’ve read all of the manufacturer information and watched hours on hours of videos.
Thanks for the "update" at the end. It matches all the other installation guides I've seen. My friend sided his new house in coloured Hardi planks and left a whole 1/8 inch gap at EVERY join, with a square of black tar paper behind join. Upon questioning, he told me the gap had to be there for "expansion". The black gap lines now show up quite badly. He might have to go around and fill each gap with pre-coloured special order caulking. I'm a little frustrated at whoever gave him that advice.
Martin, just like to confirm with you: so we can add hardie plane on top of existing t111 plywood wood siding plus moisture barrier? We don’t need to add furri strips for circulation first? My current exterior wood panel is 5/8 plywood so far. I like to add extra layer of fire proofing material, hardie is my choose. Correct? Help, help, thanks.
Russel Caldera its called plywoid siding..the thickness you have to match it to yoir needs theres different thickness..measure the one you got and just match it with the one you buy
The research I've done, suggests that slip sheets be used behind all butt joints, not just caulking alone, due to shrinkage, and the inability to properly re-caulk and re-paint these areas. very unsightly from the examples I've seen.
Ya don't caulk the butt joints, never, follow Hardie instructions, they have fine details to follow. And all cut ends must be painted with the Hardie paint kit, and there is special caulking that matches hardie color Plus paint
Is it ok to go right over the t1-11 like you did on this video? I'm getting ready to do this to my house I would love to hire the pros but I only have enough for the material but I think I can lol
I wish I had seen this video a month ago. More importantly, I wish MY CONTRACTOR had seen it too ! Very informative.
Thank you.
This was an excellent presentation. Clear, thorough, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!

Me too until I saw your reply.
...brilliant...this guy just punctured the seal on perfectly good siding above what he was replacing to "test it"...put down the hammer, Sparky...
I wish you all worked in Arizona. You appear to be THE experts in siding projects.

Gumboot Zone caulk all the butt joints
You do a lot of damage to the ‘good wood’ when testing. Do you smack the hammer claws into all the siding on the house?
No lie, saw that after hitting it with the hammer, he will need to replace it now 🤦🤦🤦
Great info.
Good video!

Anything specific about the plywood you used to replace the rotten siding down along the bottom? Thickness, type, etc..

Why not use trex wood on bottom..doesnt rot ?

Jaz &
If you went around my house beating all the good wood with a hammer I would be PISSED!
Be like.." Hey bro WTF ARE YOU DOING!?
Relax I'm a limo driver
No shit. This is good siding except for where I just beat the hell out of it.
He could beat the wood even faster if somebody was there to hold his caulk.
It's ok, I've been educated by UA-cam.
🤪
Great vid..needs more likes
Video 12 yrs ago Changes have been made.
I was always taught not to caulk the seems and put Flashing behind each one.
You are correct! This video was filmed in 2007 and has an update at the end showing the flashing detail you discuss. Watch the entire vid!! lol
No need to replace this ⚒️🔨⚒️🔨⚒️🔨⚒️🔨⚒️🔨⚒️🔨⚒️🔨⚒️🔨 now you do lol 😂😆
Shit original siding.
