I know I have seen a lot of discussions on here, but couldn't find on thread that really helped me make the call on it.. I have a 40x40 pole barn, r19 in the walls with vapor barrier. The ceiling is already hung with metal and it over laps 4-6" at the three joints. I am going to do blown...

Got the rest of the driveway in, started moving thing in, compressor, work bench, and setup/painted the pallet racking. Lovely orange color Battleship Grey.. Last load of the free millings going down.. Finished trim around peg board..

Got the rest of the driveway dug down, hopefully getting more millings today. Extend my berm out and made it 40 longer with all the dirt i moved. Couple pictures of the trim I painted up and in place now.

In total I got roughly 70-85 tons.. Took us from 11am-5pm to get the ground dug and all the millings moved in. Ground was rough digging, hard as a rock. I am about 70% to where I need to be now and really happy with the free start.. The entire driveway is 4"-6" thick, up near the shop its 8"...

Got the call I have been waiting for, FREE Millings coming all day today, wish I had the driveway dug so i could place them right away, but I'll take a half day and get-er done I guess..

Got all the trim cut and two coat of paint on it tonight, hopefully wrap this up over the weekend and get some stuff moved in. Gotta run airlines and gas line next..

yeah but not sticking well at all, can scratch it up like a lotto ticket.. Debating on sanding it off and after re-applying..

Just got some good new, fingers crossed, my cousin works for the town, had me come up to sign a release for asphalt millings. So I need to get my **** out there digging a drive way to the shop. Coming close to the end of the season and they have a surplus so might score some for free..

I would run them 8' if I could do it again, just gives you extra strength for finishing if you are going to do it like I did with girts inside. But even at 8' (or 7'6") I still found that adding the extra stiffener in between really helped strengthen the wall. Really depends how you are going...

Came home 2 days early from the cottage because of bad weather and I was able to bang out a ton more. Finished up the panels, painted like a mad man and put up some electrical covers. Next up some trim and start moving stuff in. Finished up the last piece of paneling.. Close up of my...

Thanks guys, just got back from a week of boating, drinking, and fishing.. Now to get back into the swing of things..

Got almost the entire wall done last night, stopped cause it was getting late. Most importantly the lasting ******** OUTLET is done... fewwwwww..

Got the rest of the back wall done tonight, slowly but surly.. I am ready to fill this mother its killing me...

Got back at it tonight, got all the peg board up and started the upper T11 before calling it a night, the oldman came over to give an extra help.

I did find one benefit, its fire proof rating.. Vinyl will burn quick once its started.

Not kidding at all, I am sure no house with hardy board has ever had a wasp make a nest on it.. Lol come on.. If the siding comes off in a wind storm it wasn't installed properly. I have seen this happen in the Ryan track homes or in national builders, but never in a quality build. If its done...

I believe its nearly maintenance free, minus washing if you want to. Our house is 21 years old and beside it fading I have only had to calk some windows it has been 0 effort on my part.. I am just saying I don't understand why people pick a siding that will require painting etc.. All siding...

I still don't know why people go with a siding that requires future maintenance, specially with all the crazy vinyl sidings available today. I have heard nothing about great things about hardy, but why want something you will have to paint at some point.. way off topic... sorry..

Didn't get much done today, but picked up the peg board for the back wall and got one mounted before calling it quits.. doing the entire back wall 4' section and above this I'll put T11 up..

I am going to paint them a dark gray, then the upper boards will be light gray to help reflect some light.
