Just curious to see what folks on the other side of the country are doing.
Just like when I moved to SoCal and asked wholesalers for hot-dipped galvanized ring-shanked roofing nails to fit my Senco gun and got laughed at. The VP of the company tells me I'm the first person to ask for them, ever, in 20+ years of them being in business.
Have you (Tim) used the cement fiber products over there?
Factory finished Hardi products have a 25 year warranty on them. Unfortunately the job I was going to use it on lost their funding, so I never got the chance to compare. The preprimed stuff is nice, but I guess people are getting lazier nowadays.
In fact Fine Homebuilding had an article on it last summer I believe.
Here is what I found online:
