I need to replace the T1-11 siding of the chimney chases on 2 of my rentals, and the pickings are slim. Currently, [available] sheets of ~1/2" T1-11, 8" OC is $52, and the same, but with 4" OC is around $100+. I decided to router the extra grooves in an 8" OC sheet, saving me $40+ per sheet.

Since it was not exposed, I figure it could've been there before packaging. The second had a deep scratch on the face caused by the joining bar. The third had a minor scratch caused by the joining bar as well.
