Well, it takes me about eight hours per 12-foot clap.
Siding is priced by Sq ft, and site conditions have a major bearing on s=cost, as well as the region of the country your huse is in.
Spruce is not an ideal siding matl. Why that choicce?

And the wall mtd lamps.
railings and other crap.
and the meter.

(And I think you'd want clapboards to be horizontal grain. ;) )
