  Thanks for the information.

Sounded good to us until we asked a neighbour.
Some problems here; damp climate. Neighbour's 8 inch Hardy plank lap
siding delaminated in places.
However while there is/was a possibility that my neighbours batch was
improperly stored (out in the open?) before he bought and installed
it, the manufacturer's rep. gave him a refund and allowance for labour
for him to replace it on both ends of his A frame summer cabin. Wooden
8 inch pine on the other sides of his cabin is OK.

I've installed a ton of HardiePlank for Habitat for Humanity. Some
issues:

Thanks. But I am definitely not gonna install it myself (although I
now know what to look for when they ARE installing it). What I want to
know is how is it better than T1-11 to justify the extra $14,000 (nearly
double) that it would cost. Do I have to paint it less? Any energy
savings due to better insulating (or energy costs). Why is it (or not)
worth the extra money?
