   Stuff is heavy. Really a two man job. Three if you want production (one cut and two hang). Have not used the Tamyln corner treatments. Have used the Snap Vent. A putty knife helps. Seems to get easier as you go along.

   *If you're stuck without a helper whatever you do will be slow. An old trick is to bang in a nail down where the helper is supposed to be, rest the far end of your work piece on that until you set the near end, then set the rest. You wouldn't want to put a nail into the hardi-planks as you go so make a "J" shaped hanger that you can attach to the sheathing. Make the long leg of the J long enough so the nail can be pulled from above the plank. Also use some real stiff material for your hanger - a piece of leftover tiedown strapping (already comes with nail holes) would probably work well.Comments? Ralph
