Nails should be installed every 16 inches along the top and bottom of the entire length of the clapboard, making sure the nails are secured into wall studs. The nails should be secured into the clapboards about 1 inch from the top and bottom of the clapboard. Done properly, only the bottom nail will be visible in the finished product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When you get to the final course of clapboard near the roof, you will need to rip the clapboard (cut along its length) to the appropriate width. Note: Be sure to measure and cut such that you remove the top of the clapboard, otherwise your top clapboard will have an uneven thickness relative to all of the others pieces installed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To dress up the top house siding clapboard, install a small trim board (e.g. 3\/4 x 3\/4 inch trim piece) up against the top of the clapboard and the bottom of the soffit.

Then cut the other edge of the clapboard to the appropriate length.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Final Thoughts on Installing House Siding<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Installing house siding takes time and it works best with two people, one for measuring and nailing, and the other for making the cuts. When installing home siding, you can never measure and check your lines enough. The worst thing you can do is to install house siding in a haphazard way. You do not want to wind up with clapboard lines that are crooked. Again, home siding will make or break your home&#8217;s exterior appearance. Take time to consider what house siding is right for your home and take your time if you plan on installing it yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/patching-wood-siding-ebook\/\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Patching Wood Siding Ebook<\/span><\/a><\/b> &#8211; If you require detailed instructions and pictures for patching wood siding see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s <b><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/patching-wood-siding-ebook\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Patching Wood Siding Ebook<\/span><\/a><\/b>.
