Leftovers

HardiPlank cost $1000 delivered from Home Depot for what they call 1/2 pallet (I just call it a pallet) of 108 prepainted planks. Each 12 foot board with 6 inch reveal covers 6 square feet, so the pallet covers 648 square feet. It'll take about 3 pallets for our house, maybe 4.

I think my dad's house took 3 pallets with 30 full length boards left over. He posted his leftover planks on craigslist.org and had a buyer the next day. But the guy backed out because his wife wants him to build a 2 car garage instead of residing his one car garage. Dad re-posted and he had another buyer the next day, and this one showed up and hauled them away. We were all surprised. Had they not sold, we would have used them on our shed.
