When the siding gets installed you might want to consider using moist stop behind every butt joint which laps out over the piece under it. I cut 12” strips so i end up with a piece 12”X12”. This keeps water out of the joint once the caulk cracks with the expansion and contraction of the hardi. I use a staple slapper to pin it in place. Also, use smooth galvanized fasteners. The ring shank which get used on fencing blows the back of the hardi out due to the ribs in the nails. Edit. If they fixed that one issue with their coil gun it will rock and roll. I have a ton of hitachi pneumatic guns.
