A few pics of the installed James Hardi Siding on the Revere Consultation.  The owner wanted a modern sleek siding that was inexpensive.  The solution was standard James Hardi smooth panel siding ripped into a module that worked with the layout of the house.  The horizontal seams are covered with a simple galvanized z flashing, the vertical joints will be caulked, the screws are Kreg pockethole screws typically used in woodworking ( they have a weather proof coating as well as a self drilling tip and a washer head).  The corner and end caps are a Fry Reglet extruded aluminum trim made especially for Hardi siding. This siding just covers the upper cantilevered bedroom portions of the house, the rest of the house is wrapped in a natural cedar siding.  The siding will eventually get painted, our latest color opinion is lime green.
