They both look equally unappealing. Maybe your way is less unappealing.

Instead of putting those pcs of Hardie plank on top of the soffit could you put backing in to nail the soffit to? Or would that not work

I would never use that cheap crap.give it a few years and you can stick your finger thru it cheap and brittle

Plastic soffit? Reeks of cheeze

I give this a 2….

Run the f channel out even to gable with a 90 out to the facia it's nice and tight and gives you the support for the soffit..hard to back cut soffit with no upper backing..

Ive never seen vinyl put up with staples! Ever.

Nice job! I really appreciate seeing the siding centered between the corners!

I do all my construction diy. This is a good video if you want to make repeatable H channel because you get measurements to start out with. The other videos are going too fast.

do you rabbet a cut or channel under your window trim? or just run it flush to thr trim and caulk it?

one solution for painting those ends would be a ketchup or mustard bottle.

Back in the day, there was a cement shake siding with asbestos in it made by Gold Bond. It came with a whopping 5-year warranty. I installed this junk on four ( too many ) homes. You had to be very careful or it would crack when you nailed it. We used a shear cutter that also trimmed cuts around elec boxes, windows, etc. If you weren't careful it could break off. Each pc was 36"x12", 5 bdls per sq. Each job was figured for 10% -15% waste. Couldn't be helped. Makes me sick.

Using a heat gun very carefully helps.

That looks like a good, high performance house. I see zip, lots of flashing, mounting blocks..very nice. I love that you kept the level of quality going. You never want to disrespect the work of the people before or after you!

amazing, simple as that, you are the best, thanks a lot

How would this work with F-channel if at all?

Man, i loved the video. All 8 hours of it. Good info. No, seriously, you are a good teacher.

Nice work!! Installing siding now and they want that starter strip nailed tight with no movement. Ply gem. I was debating using my stapler…ran out of nails. Thanks for the tips. Very helpful.

Brandon, as good as the instructions were, and they were far better than most, I wouldn’t have tackled this job for the first time without your video. There’s no such thing as being too thorough for beginners. Thanks for your video!

Hi ,glad you l5-s1 worked . I had,same,surgery 2 yrs ago. My left leg was going dead etc. Injection etc did not work for me either. 100% success for me ,post op apart from first night was ok, lots of walking helped I'm sure and,PT. I had 50 staples 9" incision and a special plastic type patch to cover everything for a week . showering after a few,days. Some pain on occasion but all fine now. Just finishing up an out building 10x17 including ground prep on slope, concrete work , framing, roofing etc. I'm starting vinyl siding now and getting tips from you and others. There is no way in hell I could have done this before surgery. I'm glad I went straight to a neurosurgeon and bypassed the chiropractors. Only PT. I definitely appreciate a 'mechanical solutions '! I'm now 66, sold businesses and retired . you should be in good shape from.now on just be ,sensible . I was but its ,just one,of those things, I even put it off stupidly while covid happened and,continued working. All the best with your recovery and financial issues. Cheers warren

I told my contractor to tape the J channel with 6-inch flashing tape

Are you anywhere near Rhode Island. That's exactly what I want done. The guy I hired to do my siding is just cutting it square and it looks totally hack. So now I got to tell him to stop until I hire someone that can do the 45 cut.

Get better Brandon! God and your work ethic will make everything better than you will know.

Great Job Gentlemen !

I have aluminum siding and have to replace with vinyl siding. Any idea?

Finally someone who understands where the water will get behind the siding 100% of the time!

couldn't you have just flipped the corner over and put the end that wasn't square at the top, where you wouldn't see it?

Is this for all corners?

*YOU, Good Buddy, did a SUPER JOB on this video since I just bought one of these doors and cringed to see INSTRUCTIONS along with the I HAVE TO PUT THE THING TOGETHER* They forgot to add the line *SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED* ! So let's look at this! *A WIN WIN for the manufacturer in less employees needed to do the jobs, no more LEFT or RIGHT door mounting (just reverse it), no returning item to the store cuz something YOU DID don't fit right and of course charge more for the door* . I think ANDERSON should include your video with the doors they sell us! Thank you buddy!

That was very good cuz it was *REAL WORLD - CANDID* ! Thanks!

You gonna put siding on a car??? *COOL* !!!

If u missed a nail and took it out and inserted it into another spot, don’t u need to put tape to keep it waterproof? Also all the old nail holes?

Have a loose piece on garage. Was sagging and came loose. Was not done right. Question: Where do you get the tool to lock it together?

Thanks great video. Real Professional.

You lapped the j the wrong way. I will try your technique! Thanks

Is there any way for a homeowner diyer to do this without a siding break?

HEY - *I LIKE THAT* Just found, liked & SUBSCRIBED! (Everyone should - IT'S FREE!!!

great video but those straight seams bothers me lol

I just discovered ur channel and now I’m obsessed about learning about siding!!! Thanks for all the details, tips/tricks and showing us the failures as well so we know what problems we can face when tackling a repair! I find the hardest part is finding a supplier that will order the precise siding to a homeowner. I am going to try beacon or ABC supply this week to see if I can have certainteed 4” and 4.5” double dutchlap herringbone woodgrain vinyl siding! (Thanks to ur identifying video I was able to confirm what exactly I need!!). There’s no online retailer that we can purchase and have it delivered?

Doesn’t water drain along the cut on the back?

It really help a lot

I agree build it to last not just to sell it🇺🇲👍

nice work!!

Now I see this lol.

Nice looking job. That's the same way I'm doing the metal j channel on my house. Using metal siding. Down side with the metal is that it's not very flexable when I'm trying to get the sheets in place behind it.

Thanks for the long version video!!!

What if my double four white vinyl siding is 22 years old and doesn't have any markings Will I find a piece that will still lock into the existing vinyl siding

Is that horizontal? Isn't that creating a trough for collecting water?

Why don’t you just use the plate with the J built right into it? None of this messing around. Too much overlapping on such a small piece makes it look too busy.

Tips that might help a successful and healthy installation (IMHO): 1). Don't wear expensive Apple Watch/chains/jewelry when working. 2). Use shims and a level to get more accurate spacing. 3). Don't throw instructions away prematurely because at some point, you might need it considering we don't think like the mfg/door designer. 4). Don't put heavy objects on glass. One never knows about the weight and stress and just one mistake can cost dozens of dollars. 5). Predrilling helps the wood from splitting/running. 6). It wouldn't hurt to use a small piece of the box cut and placed into door to keep it firmly in place when doing adjustments until the handle is placed within door. 7. Don't be shy in calling Anderson/Emco's "800" number if parts are short/missing/ruined. They'll send out to you without charge including the twisted rubber sweep which lets light and insects into the home. 8). When you throw parts, etc. to the group, place them away from the work area. Cement tends to hurt when contacting it and people just doesn't seem to bounce very well. 9). Installers shouldn't' take off too much pass the point of exactness to the edge and to flooring/cement threshold. IMHO, I've found that daylight passes through them and insects especially like it for passing through to inside. 10. Put on bottom hardware prior to adjusting/installing the floor sweep for more accuracy. 11. Use a pencil mark on the sides of the metal sweep from inside so when drilling, the exactness of the sweep and rubber sweep is there. 12). I've found that a small tap with awl/ice-pick dimple helps keep the drill bit from "riding" and going off course. 13. Use of a Phillips screwdriver for some sensitive drilling or reduce the torque on drills that have lots of power to strip the screw hole. 14). I place the hydraulic closer at the top to keep something from getting caught into it at the bottom (including pets and children's hands) and tends to be aesthetically, unsightly and displeasing. Lower mounting tends to get more "kick dust", etc. to cause the closer to fail at some point, including oil and water spills. 15). Cut and measure twice because we all make mistakes and being correct is much more pleasurable than errors. 16. Other than that, you did a decent installation. :-)
