Has anyone ever installed hardiplank?

My house has T-111 siding and i have decided to replace it with hardiplank.
I'm going to strip off all T-111 siding and replace with plywood. I will install a moisture barrier between the plywood and hardiplank.

My carpenter skills are pretty good so the installation part wont be a problem. Thats what i did to pay my way through college.

I have installed hardiplank once about 12 years ago on a shop in the customers backyard. I can't remember exactly how it was done, but i can figure it out.

Anything that i should consider before i start?

I will go with 8-1/4" lap siding.

My parents has installed that stuff on their last two houses. Chalking STRAIGHT lines is the hardest part of it, after that it goes up real quick!

Have fun :D
