  1. I recently install HardiPlank over Real Stucco, but to do so I attached firring strips to the stucco (pressure treated 5/4) on 16" centers using 3" deck screws. This required pilot holes for the screws. Lots of work but worth it. I the installed the HardiPlank siding following the 1 1/4" overlap. To top things off I used 1" brad nails along the bottom edges to pull the overlap tight. Oh... before doing this project I installed new windows and added an extra 1 3/4" trim to bring out the vinyl brick mold so they weren't sunken into the siding. The whole darn project took a while but my heat kicks on a whole lot less often and runs a great deal less when it does kick on. I'm looking forward to the summer for similar results with the air conditioner.
