Thanks for putting these videos out. I flip houses and do my own siding so not anything like a professional siding installer but I do my own siding. So far in parts 1 and 2 and the tools I use video I’ve several tips that will make my work easier and three techniques that I’ve never seen before. One, for example is the way you join J channels. That is slick as can be and really does look much better than a butt joint. Thanks again!
No problem! Glad to help :)
@1:06:33 Instead of overlapping by 1" only, I measure a distance of 1" between the 2 pieces of siding at the hem, that way the other overlapped siding is already under the hem. If I remember correctly the notched distance measures 1-3/8". It ends up giving me an overlap of 1-3/4". No problems so far. Like you said "That's the way I do it and it works for me."
Yep, that’s not bad. And guarantees the pieces never separate.
Watched all three videos great info picked up a couple of great tricks. Learned how to install j channel the same way years ago.. ran into a tough one today if you could help. What to do when you run up the wall and the nail flange is at the top of wall into the j channel any help would be great
If the nail fin of an upper piece is in the way I’ll sometimes pull the nails and fish the corner nail fin behind it… if I can’t do that I’d trim the nail fin back on the corner a couple inches.
I don’t know if that helps. But you could send a picture to my email if it isn’t helpful.
Where can I get the scaffolding you are using?
Hi Len, Most siding supply companies also are able to sell scaffolding. If they don’t have it, I’ve had good luck with industrialladder.com (not a paid link). Good luck!
So I’m trying to understand why some contractors use hammers instead of a nail gun?
If you mean roofing guns, one of the reasons I don’t use those is because the inconsistencies in the nailing. Staple guns are less common probably from a lack of knowledge (and maybe code requirements in some areas of the country).
I’ve had to hand nail a few jobs. One was because I had to use aluminum roofing nails (per code requirements). And another I had to use 3” roofing nails just to reach something solid.
@@sidingschool gotcha. Thanks
I dont have your email . And I will send it tomorrow if that's ok. I don't think I gave you enough info .
