This is really informative! Thanks for making this so straightforward.

[@JanitorIsBack]

anyone else more interested in the cowboy hardhat? 3:04

[@lowes]

When in Texas... 🤠

[@Matt-qg2nk]

Who wears a white cowboy/ hard hat to a construction site? A person that rarely gets dirty that's who.

[@michaels1326]

Always get a good laugh when seeing a grown man in a cowboy hardhat.

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

You shoukd laugh at yourself for being such a duech

[@scottmichaels1764]

Would be great if he had a holster and cap gun.

[@steinhog7305]

you just know he was the guy pulling up in the ridiculous lifted cummins

[@johnnyrambone]

You must be from Vermont

Okay you say in the video that they can be installed vertically or horizontally, what you're installing them horizontally. And that is my understanding too is that they should only be installed horizontally. That's why the writing is horizontal. And the stud markers are also based on them being installed horizontally.

Excellent video

[@mycats7321]

Can washers be used on the nails to make them less likely to sink in? Also, what about conventional hammering by hand? Or using screws? Can screws be used instead of nails? (It's not for a house- it's for a small shed).

[@TheeRiverGoat]

@Robert Leinen you’re a liar. I’ll guarantee you’ve never once screwed all the exterior sheathing on a house

[@cosmicninjaSN8]

@Robert Leinen screws break, nails are better because they flex

[@Bolockaye206]

Screws will not pass structurally as they have little sheer value. I highly recommend using nails.

[@kyosunlee]

Does this do vapor barrier only or humidity pass also?

[@illdecidemylifesdirectionl9992]

This video does not mention Rein screen

[@chancesover7268]

We never use framing nails... we use the staple gun

[@Nate_69420]

The installation manual specifically says not to use staples and doing so will not be code compliant in places that have modern building code.

"...keeping the sheets TIGHT TO EACH OTHER top to bottom. Maintain an 1/8 inch gap when coupling the butt seams to account for panel expansion" as the guy in the video moves his thumb along the horizontal long edge of the panel. How do you "couple" a seam anyway? Oh, it's Lowes, ah, yes, what do you expect.

[@awiseguydrinkingtea9735]

Anyone here from school?

[@Sean-rx5ep]

First

[@MrMIKEtem]

Sean Hody hip hip hooray 🥳👍
