he's face nailing... the exposure looks like it's too wide for blind nailing, unless you like potato chips
one of the reasons i don't like to exceed a 6" exposure
no, I don't think so. Even if it was 7" exposure, Hardies recommendation is to blind nail. 7" is the norm around here and it is never face nailed. I'm just confused why about all those nails compromising the siding installation. not to mention the look.
I've seen it done around here also, then they had to go back and face nail because the client complained about all the noise everytime some wind came up.

That's the biggest drawback to wide cement siding. The only time we use siding that wide is to match the old Masonite siding on a house.
That siding looks like more than 7" exposure, which we never face nail.
