I have done vinyl siding for about 10 yrs but never done any hardie shingles before. The house is a brick house with wood gables. Im going to be siding three gables. The house has already had soffit and fascia installed last year. The osb board sticks out about 3/4 of an inch from the wall on the bottom so i wrapped it with coil. I have a Hitachi siding gun for hardie plank that i will be using. What type of nail do i use to face nail areas that might need it?
Which way is best:
1: Put the siding right against the soffit channel on the gable and caulk?
2: Put trim against the soffit channel and butt the shingles against the trim and caulk?
3: Install Shingles and put trim over the shingles against the soffit?
4: Use vinyl siding channel and tuck shingles in the channel? on this option, what size channell is recommended?
Thanks in adavance for any help.
