Thanks Chuck for the reply,

No, actually, I meant the hardi-backer horizontal lap boards. I don't
like the panel system by any company, because it looks "artificial",
particularly if the edges aren't finished. My stucco work will be the
traditional over wire method (not chicken wire and stucco nail
though). There's some new mesh stuff, and over 30lb felt, I figure my
OSB should be fairly safe from problems of rot. $2.25 per sq ft?
