    I’m not a “siding guy” specifically but a tradesman can always respect another man’s craftwork. Your comment about your employee coming to you with a tip is so true. Even as a foreman anytime one of my guys had a great idea I ALWAYS made sure to give them the credit.

      @@NWIVeteranConstruction​​⁠Out of my whole house soffit I have about 10 ft on the back porch where the soffit was cut maybe a 1/4 in to short and does not hold in the lip of the inner channel to keep it from sagging. Any idea of a easy fix without tearing that 10 ft section out and replacing it with little longer pieces. I don’t want to do that because the other sides are screwed in and are covered with the fascia trim.

    Thanks for the tips,, I've been watching Your videos, along with a few and others and they have been very helpful in my process. I've done automotive repair for 30+years, so fixing things is a no brainer. So far this summer my teenage sons and I have removed all siding, wrapped and taped the house, added 1.5in Foam boards, with 1in foam and 1/2 osb,, 5inch wide ,bucks around all windows but not doors. Didn't want to extend interior jambs on doors. But extra window sills,,, you bettcha. We used 1in thick vinyl 4in trim around all windows, I trimmed a rabbit from backside, for clearance over nailing flanges of windows, so the other 2/3 of back of trim board sides Flat against window bucks for good square corners and seal. I then used 3/4 vinyl trim boards on their side, as a picture frame around exterior doors about 2 3/4 in out from wall. So after the foam and siding they sit 1/4 in proud of J-channels. Looking forward to the utility savings from the extra insulation, and a new look. Going from white to Monogram Tuxedo with White trim. If you are doing a siding job anyway,,, the extra cost of adding the insulation, has been about $1750 on a 1400 sq ft ranch. That extra R-7.5, plus a way better air seal to the home, should get me that money back in a few years,, then savings every year after.

    Besides learning a method for trimming around the window your advice about being open to suggestions or advice from employees or fellow workers no matter what your level of experience is a very good piece of advice and if more bosses and company big wigs would use it I feel more companies would have better quality work and more efficient.

    Don't understand haters for this channel. If you don't agree with something instead of just hating why not state the way you do it and explain why you think it's easier and better or why the other persons way is wrong. The end result can be the same but one persons way may be more efficient and easier to learn. That is what these videos are supposed to be for in my opinion. Veteran Construction seems to be a program that knows what their doing and would be open to new ideas and probably try them at some point to see if it's better and let us know. I work on my own house a lot doing remodeling things which is not my occupation but I do enjoy it. I watch many videos about whatever I'm working on to learn how I can do it best and right for my abilities. No hate needed.

  • @kevingunn2516
    @kevingunn2516 5 років тому +4

    You should always start with a full piece and then do 3 foot cut back stair steps! It hides the vertical lines where your overlaps are a lot better! Then when you get up to the window you run just straight ones of course. You will not waste because whatever you cut off you can start on the another wall! Not saying this to be a smart ass but you hang Vinyl siding .you don't put it on. The nail has to go in the straight and you should be able to slide it back-and-forth in and out away from the wall toward you and back to the wall. You should never pull up on it when you know it locked .It should just float .You hang it put a nail in the middle and work your way out And it will come out straight every time. 22 years in the game. Love your roofing videos learned a lot from you.

    Know this is old but hoping you see this. Lost on what to do with j channel on front false gable to the front eave. It is a manufactured home and has a false or fake gable at the front of home. The gable eave is out 12" and matches perfectly to the front Eave. Like this _________/\________.

    Thing about gaps is. If it’s 85 degrees full sun on the south side you can almost slam it. If your siding in Alberta on a cold cloudy Day on the south side you need 3/4” minimum. Just use your discretion I say.
    When I do Hardie I just butt them even in winter that shit never expands it shrinks a little. I noticed all my hardie trims have gaps 6 years after install even When I slammed them in the winter.

    A little hint when siding under a window like this install a 12" piece of ice & water shield at bottom of window that extends 6" past lower window corners before j-channel & finish channel is installed, that way when you get to the point you are in this video the ice & water shield can go over the lock of the next to last piece under the window and cut back then put the piece that you show in this video, this will truly stop water from leaking behind siding when water rides j-channel to the bottom of the window, also tape your seams on fan fold

      @NWIVeteranConstruction  2 роки тому

      You have to stagger it. But you also might not be able to start with a full piece... I have a stagger formula, but it's currently unavailable at the moment. The 4 Staggers that work the best are 36", 30", 24", 20". I would try a 30" stagger first, but put your first piece up on the wall and mark out where the Staggers will be if you continue to take 30" off, then, hold up a full piece to those marks you made on the wall, and make sure that it never lands closer than 8 inches to the corner post (or any other termination points like j channel around a window or a door) there's an entire science to it lol if you try 24 or 30 inch and they don't work, you have to try another. Nobody likes those false factory ends you have to create when a piece doesn't quite make it to a corner

    First vinyl video i have watched that has actual installers on it. You miter your J on windows, which it seems no one else on youtube does. I only suggest you not cut your nailer off that J running down the side, let it come over the bottom, just cut the edge instead so you can still fold you flap around the corner. Water runs downhill, always keep that in mind so you don't want a possible water catch anywhere. i am happy to see you use a crimper, no one on youtube does, lol. Just so you know, if you measure to the bottom face of the finish trim, you just need to add 5/8" to get the proper fit. I hope that made sense to you, it's easier to show then it is to tell. I don't use a speed square either, and those people with a grinder make no sense. And yes, just cut where the siding is, no need to make a table. I'd love to send you a video of me cutting the J for window and door cuts, you'll end up using it and you'll understand the whole point. When you where putting that undercut into the window J, if you look you'll see the miter hung up on the siding, my way that never happens. For those who didn't catch it, near the end when it is sped up, you see that guy installing the window stalks. He backed up and looked around the corner, that was to make sure the corner lined up in case you had to make an adjustment. on your garage wrap, make the side pieces longer so you can bend an inch around the corner(the top) so when you put the top piece on, you don't have to caulk, it will be sealed.
    Greta job, finally an actual installer on youtube!

    Get 2 or 3 horses, a 2x12, 12 ft long and screw a 1x3x5 1/2 feet to the back in from each end. Working at a standing height is easier and faster, the 12 foot long 2x12 keeps the siding from sagging........ the 1x3 keeps it from falling off the back of the 2x12.

    It looks like water that runs down the side pieces of J-channel of the window would run right behind the piece of siding that is below the window (the piece that has the cut-out section). Am I missing something? I'm not questioning the professionals in the video, just trying to DIY something and don't exactly understand how this is supposed to work.

    Hi brother builders. I bought an old p.o.s. house. It's about 100 years old. The previous owners took every shortcut, and did only cosmetic work, without repairing framework, waterproofing, or even wrapping underneath. It's a slab on grade, no crawlspace, and even partly below grade. It has vinyl siding, poorly installed.
    Basically I have to rebuild the whole house without tearing it own and going from scratch. I have to do this work by myself and on a limited budget. I have many different experiences in renovating, no siding experience. A lot of trowel work, framing and painting. I'm retired now on a minimal pension.
    Any tips you or your fans can give me, especially money saving tips, would be greatly appreciated. Can I reuse some of the old vinyl? Have you got any videos to guide me? Mostly, I'm wondering how to connect from the slab below grade, waterproofing, and doors, which are flush on grade.
    Thanks for your vids. I'm learning a lot. Appreciate your help.

    • @NWIVeteranConstruction
      @NWIVeteranConstruction  2 роки тому +1

      Outside of the videos I can't offer you much without being there. As for reusing vinyl, I doubt it. Anytime you try to match existing vinyl it never looks right if the existing has any wear on it

      Rodney Gray not a bad idea to level EO panel on in between window cuts ..but I think the best method is to run the longest side that bonds to a corner then pull down off the windows an make a pencil mark on j Chanel and match about two courses down from window top..assuming window headers are level but still try and make it look even

    • @jonathanponcelet2109

      If you can hang right all you need is a level line to base starter strip off of.

    Do you have to flash on top of windows? I can't seem to find any videos on this. I have J channel ready windows. I was told I need to flash on top, then add a J channel, yet I see houses that aren't done that way.

      Watch my j channel video. If you can see how the windows are done that's the correct way. Sometimes others aren't able to get so prefect though
