- The very last exterior covering is done! We love how the PVC board and batten turned out - it is clean and smooth, with no exposed fasteners.
Two more videos yet to come with details of how we did the mitered corners and window & door trims! This video was long enough as-is 😁

Super impressive, I love how the hurdles don't stop you - if anything it seems to embolden you. Best of luck with the rest of the build, I'll be watching every single episode! Love from the U.K.
Thanks so much! We’ve faced plenty so far and surely plenty left to come 😅
35:06 Use expanding foam to fill in the area around the exterior light sockets behind the trim board to keep wasp out. Also, make sure the top and both sides of the light fixture base are caulked, while the bottom of the fixture is NOT caulked
I am watching from Germany..much love for you both 🌸
Phenomenal work. Looks really great.
Thank you! We're excited to be close to the finish line with the exterior. It's taken us quite awhile!
Nice! It looks really good!
Thank you! Feels good to be almost done with the exterior!
Did you have an engineer/architect/construction background before this work? You’re literally doing what my wife and I have dreamt of doing.
Nothing building related, mechanical engineering for a defense contractor!
Bravo! Attention to the details paid off for sure...
Looks amazing. What brand are the 4x8 sheets and did you get them at Home Depot also?
Thank you both! Yes, the 4x8 sheets are also from Home Depot. They are Veranda brand. I added a link to the description so you can see what we purchased.
Looks nice, good job.
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Working my whole life in the construction industry I always thought the pictures of people using some sort of ladder supported by hydraulic equipment we see in safety meetings were only from “third world” countries! Haha Gotta love wearing a respirator when cutting PVC, to then install it standing on a platform supported by a skidsteer! Made my day
Hey it had a 2x4 support post! Safety first 😉
@@MasonDixonAcres haha happy you’re ok to talk about it! Just rent a manlift
That was plan A, but I couldn't have gotten up in the tight corner. I would have had to get out of the basket either way
It’s beautiful 😍 🏡
Thank you! It's fun to see the project come to life from our initial design!
My friend, you're an engineer! Right? I was counting on you to make a jig for the battens instead of measuring every one 😁though I'm guessing there is a good reason? Edit - Ah! 30 min. in a jig appeared! Bravo! Edit - also the smoothness of the siding, especially if the finish product will remain white, will keep it much cleaner. Hardie board has beautiful grain but will defiantly catch and hold on to the dirt/fallout.
SEND IT!!!
Great work! I'd like the same exterior finish for my build.
Thank you! Are you self-building as well?
How did you plan for thermal expansion of these PVC sheets?
No need, they are thick enough that they don't warp when fastened to a flat surface unlike typical vinyl siding systems
at 10:01 you fold the slicker max screen under itself to mount the first layer. Won't that catch water in the fold and prevent it from draining out?
Nope it’s actually their recommended detail for the first course as a bug screen! The outer layer is filter fabric, water easily drains through
Where did you get the 4x8 sheets, having a hard time finding them in stock anywhere what so ever
Home Depot!
@@MasonDixonAcres yeah all pvc board products are discontinued on the home depot app from what I've been able to find
We got ours (same brand at homedepot
Why is your head flashing so high never seen that before?
What stone veneer did you use?
Yes please share the stone veneer used. Look great.
We used Coyote Gray from Get Real Stone. They sell through distributors! You can see more of the details in our Stone Veneer videos. Here's the first one in the series: ua-cam.com/video/imc2mUUWd30/v-deo.html
I would feel like a dork if I put flashing above my garage doors with an overhang like that....I guess someone could throw a water balloon or use a pressure washer
With the winds we get, it gets wet
Dude, you talk so much
You shouldn’t comment if your going to be a prick
