My Dream Shop Ep-47: Easiest Way to Install Soffit!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 бер 2024
- In this episode of building the dream shop, I am pretty sure we just found the easiest way to install soffit. This new metal soffit product called speedlap truly is easy to use. I also went on a tour of the manufacturing facility where it is made and was able to see the whole process. Big thanks to Metal Wholesale for the tour of the Facility. If you want to give their SpeedLap Product a try, ask your local supplier or contact them here Sales@speedlap.com

“No! Hand it to me right” is such a dad move, Greg 😂
You would be absolutely perfect on 'This old house' you need your own tv show, you and Greg. You are a natural infront of a camera and also teaching/explaining your craft
The “sweet little plane with a built in parachute” you flew out in is a Cirrus, and I’m gonna be an engineer for Cirrus when I graduate this month!
You got a mention on Scott Brown Carpentry site yesterday.
I was surprised by that, then realised I shouldn't have been. Scott is a perfectionist, so it makes perfect sense he would shout out Kyle & Greg.
A pro tip if, you didn't know already, instead of cutting aluminium with a snipper is to scratch a line with a sharp Stanley knife and then fold it and break it. You won't get wavy edge as with a snipper.
Love your guy's channel, I use it as inspiration for my own dream shop build on my channel. While I'm not nearly as talented as you guys I'm DIY on a budget! Keep up the great content.
I am fascinated by Factory tours, but always amazed at the tool design.
Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴🏴
Hey Kyle- could you do a short content on the details of the grade build up for the inside concrete floor and how the concrete interfaces with the piers and grade board? How far up the grade board does the concrete finish grade end up? Where does the floor thickness end up relative to the bottom of the post? All that sort of detail. I’m having a hard time visualizing how that all looks. Thanks for all you share, it’s very helpful.
That looks nice! Here in Wyoming I would love to try that soffit. Being a contractor, I always like seeing new stuff that makes our life easier. Thanks for showing that part.
My name is Kegan! I’m not the one that packed it but it was cool to hear my name!
Factory tours are always cool to watch.
We use the smartlap for fascia on all our siding builds here in British Columbia, Canada. I love the look. Tip for ya. Install the soffit j normally on the house, install your soffit like you would normally as well with the staples into the sub fascia. Then before installing the lp fascia, put a reverse drip edge to cover the cut side of the soffit. All major brands sell it obviously. It also allows for easy removal if your soffit gets damaged. You can either install it by staples on the sub fascia side, or use screws on the bottom, like you would with regular fascia, to have easy access for repairs! You get a nice flange to cover your cuts, and it’s so simple for instal!
Love the channel, and all your tips!
Wow what a journey flying across wherever to look at different new ideas in the metal industry what a way to go fly into the clouds so that you can see your next product thanks for the journey we really appreciate it😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Cool tour!! Their equipment reminded me of all the years I worked maintenance in a vinyl siding manufacturing plant!! From the formers, to the cutter! it does go together quicker than the vinyl soffit did!!
soffit looks good...on those gables I always start at the bottom with one vented piece and finish at the top with a vented...then you get good airflow to let that hot air in cavity vent at the top...jmo
Darn good opinion as that's the whole point of doing this.
11:07 I thought it was gonna pan over and Greg was piloting 😂
The factory tours are always awesome
The supplier trips are great. This old house did this along time ago and it was cool…. Keep up the good content
All the experience you 2 have got, maybe is there some idea you both have to make certain jobs easier, you could develope?? Loving the series but, as the houses around youre workshop are so close, are you limited to what noises you can make??. like revving machines, banging etc: Thanks for the video.
I wants one just like it!!!! Thing is built way better than my house
That would be a Cirrus plane. Built in Duluth, MN. Not all that far away from me.
Good Morning to all!
Kegan just got famous your not gonna be able to go anywhere without signing autographs taking pictures. Seriously though that is a great product also i don't remember y'all doing a birdbox
Huge fan of poured concrete forms that look like stone which Andrew Camarata just put in on his enclosing of his garage space. "Ground force wind protection" i think is a huge deal in building everywhere outside of the Northeastern USA as are reinforced garage doors. New Tesla Cybertruck truly amazing hauling machine from what I've seen if you're tired of paying for diesel fuel. Ford and Rivian making really good looking battery electric vans which might be the best thing ever for finishing work mobility/tool shed on wheels. Definitely a huge fan of metal roofs. Spray foam insulation has gotten good press as well (Lumah Acres also on UA-cam.) One of the best way for creating passive insulation later on is putting a second roof right on top of the old one somewhere down the line. Amazing how far construction materials have come over the past 20 Years as well as the tools😮😮😮😮😮😮 Definitely no fear of charging top dollar for all of this tho.
The new soffit you're using is the same locking concept as vinyl soffit. Good locking features and quick and easy
Great Kyle 👍
Good morning happy Easter 🐰 1👍😃👍
They need to make the soffit where it literally snaps into place. I do like how fast it goes up. Im a little Leary if da wind is going to rattle it.
You have a great show, you explain things so well. Better than a shop teacher:) BTY I live in area and one of the first videos I saw I recognized about where you were. I was surprised to find out that I drove past your new shop all the time, going to the marina. So Friday I was the black Ford the tooted as you were leaving for the day. It kind of startled me, you pulling out, I just was going to take a glance at the shop, driving by. Great work.
haha awesome
Hi Greg!
Kyle, when mating the two surfaces of the soffit material, I'd bet a nickel that the two mate up the way they do, without two surfaces lying flush together to prevent any place for moisture to condensate and then sit, wet for a long time, between the surface, causing eventual rust. Just my 2 cents! Looks great!
That soffit product looks pretty nice for a conditioned attic space but I'll be building a vaulted non conditioned attic space so I won't need that type of soffit material. I'll probably go with western red cedar.
really like the grainy texture of the metal
I was also shocked when you didn't nail the J channel 😔 hindsight is 20/20
You, Greg, and your families have a Wonderful Resurrection Day!!!
I have a similar product that was put on my home almost 25 years ago. The issue I find is that today I am look at replacing my fasca as it has discolored and looks unsightly do to the weather conditions here in Florida. But the more difficult part is when I installed cameras for a security system around the home and had to take this type material down to put a reforcement board above it to fasten the cameras to it. And my fascial vent install has staples in both sides that I have to remove to get the panels down.
You mentioned you're not using metal siding. What are you using? Love your channel and OCD.. I've been a finish carpenter for 40 years and stressed over 1/32" gaps, out of square and out of plumb!
It’s time Greg starts standing his ground and watch Kyle meltdown😂 awesome job guys
Kyle there’s a basket level button on the lift control board just so you know
“Give me the dumb end”… when 2 people are measuring.
Gotta respect the balls it takes to put your name and picture on the product. To me that’s better than any warranty
This guy just might know it all! 😮
Nice
Love the look of that soffit. What about insects, usually wasps, trying to get in the channels?
Gregg should be included on the Vegas trip. He is your right hand man. Batmans Robin.
The Lone Rangers Tonto.
Nice job guy's, you keep telling him Greg 😅
You should always hold your ledger board an eighth to quarter inch higher than facial. That way there's no chance of water following your soffit down towards your building.
You need to get a sheet of aluminum veneer plywood for those end caps that would make a nice job
Good afternoon
Cirrus SR22 Turbo
I would like you're opinion on the insulation they offer to go between the metal roofing and purlins my last barn didn't have it and we got condensation just a livestock barn your input would be appreciated thx
Ya Should have put some can lights in the Soffit!
What staples do you use to attach the j-channel and soffit?
Vinyl soffit goes up the exact same way. The only thing I don’t know is, if vinyl can come in black I like that black look though.
i demand a toolbelt video
Hey Greg, I know what it’s like working for/with someone that’s OCD!😂
If you bring siding and face board up to the soffit, how do you remove the soffit at a later date?
Late.. FIRE!!!
Haw haw 🤣
Forever learning new skills 58 and I have skills but the they can become hard to learn if you don't keep updating got to do my Maths and English again I don't retire until 2032
I definitely like the soffit! So, how are you going to hide your staples?
Presume, with siding, trim.
what nails did ypu use to hang your soffit I have always used soffiy screws
I wish when I started working in the mid 1980's I had a boss like him, no one taught me anything, I operate heavy equipment, but I had to learn everything the hard way, this guy tells you everything he knows and then some, I enjoy watching you both work together
Going to do something special when hitting a bilion views?
What jacket are you wearing??
Where can I get inch and a half thick rockwool
👍✌
👍
Other than cost, any reason you don't run J-channel both along the building and the roof edge and then just slide the soffit down?
He explained in the video. This will get LP Siding, then a trim - not metal siding. Obviously made the install FAST!
To me it J would look better. Seems a little blue would show
😁👍🏼
I’ve hung countless feet of vinyl soffit and it locks the same way. I can’t believe it’s a new thing in metal.
😃👍🏼👊🏼
The volume on this video is turned way down. I had to turn my computer volume all the way up to 100% when I normally have it set for 40%.
Is that speedlap going to rattle in the wind?
That's what I think.
Poor Greg I understand dealing with a very awesome boss who is completely anal retentive ADHD you name it all this guy has it he's an amazing Carpenter Craftsman skilled guy take this opportunity to learn and grow and I wish you both all of the success in the world , however if you find yourself on a contract job not in the boss's backyard you can't take a year and a half to do every single thing otherwise he won't make money and that is truly the name of the game is to make a profit only if your quality is there and reputation is kept I understand you're filming everything and it takes an enormous amount of time I don't have anything negative to say other than poor poor Greg laughing out loud
Instead of using a level in marking for the soffit, could you just use a framing square flat against the wall and up to the bottom of the facia board. Be more accurate if your walls are true plumb and quicker. Just a thought.
Seems like it might rattle in the wind.
Why not wear safety glasses instead reciting fire
You have become more condescending to Greg the longer you work together not very cool.
That stuff looks abit cheap and nasty. Won't it rattle around in the wind?
More work, less talk.
Bless EASTER WEEKEND
You didn’t cut your finger lol
