a certain amount of play in there that means I need about a quarter of an inch at either end at the same time you will notice that these nails here are installed so that they are not tight this allows for by piece of siding to be able to slide backwards and forwards with the expansion and the contraction if I have a long wall that's longer than 12 feet I'm going to have
