What happens here

Carefully position the newly cut fiber-board siding piece into the open gap on the wall. Ensure it is level and aligns properly with the surrounding existing siding planks. Once aligned, secure the new piece by nailing it into the wall studs. Drive the nails flush with the siding surface using a hammer.

Goal: Secure the new siding piece in place.

What they say

Hide

that's really just glued together. It's got a paper on it and then it's pressed to look like wood. And what I call it is glorified cardboard sighting. So this is it, when water hits it, it just crumbles up. So the trapping process is a little bit different. You can't sand this. So people see us not sanding and stuff and treating it a little bit differently because it is different.
