Hardie board is tricky stuff to work with if you live in a place that gets a decent amount of rain. I'm not sure about where you live, Case.
It's a cement board that's only finished on one side, so if it's not flashed or sealed correctly, the water will get to the unfinished side and it will rot.
You also need to use the correct caulk, or it looks like pigeon poop all over the siding.
We looked into having our house done in Hardie board but the price was ridiculous if you do it the right way with all of the joint flashings and corners.
