Thank you, be safe, and be grateful.
I've been a finish carpenter for 30 years. I have 5 guys that work for me. Even though most of the things presented in these videos is elementary to me, I watch everyone gaining a little nugget of golden knowledge here and there. Excellent presentations of accurate knowledge and home building wisdom.
Carpenter for 18 and project manager for 7 now and I will STRONGLY 2nd your comment. Sometimes on lunch I'll watch a video then have to grab a hammer and go work on site on something lol. It gets boring in the trailer
Not really the best installation. Those cuts look bad
The flashing supposed to be pitch flashing
This should be happening all over urban areas saving old houses. Some chiropractic adjustments ( I -Joist 14” ) in between under sized 2x6 in a 9’ ceiling.
Sometimes the videos just trigger somethings that yelling and screaming on site just wont...well dunn
Best advise ever. “If you’ve never installed this before, start on the back side of the house”.
LOL Excellent!
It's actually incredible how much better this guy and the angry home reno-vision guy are from anyone on TV. Imagine if this old house went into this much depth.
My daddy was a roofer! Anytime we saw an old couch in the side of the road, we'd stop and get the cushions!
I learned that trick on day one... Thought it was the silliest thing at first until I tried it.
@@MandoFettOG never again! I don't get on a roof without a cushion!
Does this trick work on metal roofs? Don't think it would, but maybe.
@@flippinuid9892
Metal roof is less prone to structural damage by footwear and equipment and is less textured so foam rubber or foam whatever would not stick. Solid rubber sheets are less likely to slide on metal and will still provide traction for feet and equipment but you have little cushion if you have to sit or lay down and they do get hot in the sun.
@@flippinuid9892 Area rug gripper, that holey foam meant to keep rugs in place? That, wrapped/ tied around your shoe, makes it much safer to walk on a metal roof, works even on a wet roof.
Siding installation is deceptively simple at first glance, then you soon realize that excellent work will never get noticed and shoddy work sticks out like a sore thumb. Nice job!
caleb , so very true brother !!!
And everyone that looks at excellent work says to themselves “ I could have done that, it so easy” not realizing true talent makes it look easy not realizing the hours and years of hard work that went into becoming that good at their trade. As a custom cabinet builder who has spent almost all of my adult life learning and building cabinets and not to mention the financial investment I have in my shop, tools and equipment I have people that have never built cabinets that didn’t hire me because I was too expensive so they tried to build the cabinets themselves, with a brother in law of course and two weeks later I was asked to build the cabinets only to get a “had I know that I could have built them” response. They didn’t know what they didn’t know and My work couldn’t convince them of that either.
It’s funny how easy it is watching your videos to feel like I’m actually there, helping out and observing. A combination of excellent videography, brilliant editing and calming background music obviously contribute to this. But I think it’s also your endearing narration that completes the picture. It feels like I could be walking down the street one day and see you, and I could say g’day how you going Scott, and you’d say “pretty good David, what about you?”.
It’s the highlight of my week when you post another video. Thanks.
I'm in my Seventies, and just completed three sides of my house with Hardie Board, all off of scaffolds, and with no help. It's a lot more work than some people might think, but the results are *very* satisfying. After all that hard work, brushing on the paint made all that hard work really pop!
I didn't buy shears, because I read a lot of bad reviews on them, probably written by people who didn't know what they were doing. Yours seemed to work quite well. I'm guessing yours was a DeWalt, but I never got a good enough look at it in your video. Instead of shears, I opted for a guillotine and a polycrystalline diamond blade for my 7-1/4" DeWalt cordless saw. The guillotine worked great, and no dust. My back is telling me that this will be my last siding job. I won't say how long this project has taken me, but it's a good thing no one had to pay me by the hour...
Steady Eddie wins the race. 👍📐🔨🇺🇸
Really glad to hear your report, checkmate. I'm thinking of doing the same thing at my house. I suspect my back will tell me the same thing, but I know how good I'll feel every time I look at the finished project. And I'm slow as hell, too.
@@incognitotorpedo42 don't worry , your back doesn't start bitchin' until the morning AFTER you finish , lol
Respect to you for completing the job yourself. That must be very rewarding every time you see the results!
@@incognitotorpedo42 It took me quite awhile to develop the mindset that it isn't a race. It's taken me almost two years to get three sides done, but I was also doing plumbing and electrical work, replacing headers for the new windows, and all the other "little surprises" that end up getting added to the list as I started uncovering things.
I used to feel guilty if I had a day where I didn't get anything accomplished, but now I just try to get _something_ done every day, even if I can only work an hour. Even if it's a small accomplishment, no one can take it away from me... I'm still a little bit closer to my goal.
This was more than I should have taken on by myself at this stage of my life, but it's extremely satisfying to prove to myself that I can still do it. It's beating me up quite a bit, but I truly believe that staying active is the key to a long life.
👍 this Chanel is as real and honest as they come. Much appreciated in a world of instaglame
I'm from South Africa and has been in the carpentry and construction trade for almost 25 years. her we do things diffirently. Most homes are built by bricklayers and then finished by roofing experts and carpenters. I'm like a child at Christmas waiting for every episode of Essential Craftsman. I watch all your stuff. The project house is the one I like the most since it is a timber frame construction like my first house I ever built. With barely any knowledge of house construction I built my parents a timber frame double story house. Now after all these years I learn so much more from your channel. You do stuff a lot different than here in South Africa.
FYI, In the US this is not considered timber construction. This is stick built. Timber starts at 4x4 (100mmx100mm) up to full-size logs. I know in other parts of the world timber means almost any kind of wood except engineered wood. www.blackdogtimberworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/TIMBER-FRAME-BARN.jpg
i.pinimg.com/originals/03/1d/cb/031dcb9df9b7f59febe978bf8ccdcc3d.jpg
I just realized the other day outside the US, when someone says timber, we say lumber.
@@firesurfer same here in Canada . but i always use engineered timberstrand (R) LSL studs for long interior walls , any wall that's getting tiled , and any wall that's getting cabinets . to make sure the walls are DEAD STRAIGHT. makes a huge difference . and keeps the tile guys so happy :)
Robert N, as custom cabinet builder I ALWAYS like to say thank you to the framers and drywallers who build plumb walls and screw the drywall right to the studs. It sure makes my job easier.
Pro tip, separate a ladder and run it up the roof secured by roof jack at the bottom. Little foam underneath the ladder or carpet underlay the roofs safe and gives good foot hold on any pitch.👌
Mr. Sunshine no sir, just adding alternative method then the platforms he built
Ego is expensive, humility is cheap. Those who follow his advice will appreciate that he wanted them to know and use proper material if they do their own work. Kudos and admiration for a true professional and teacher.
Started here at Essential Craftsman which led me to the world of Larry Haun. I can't be more thankful for the information that has been given to me from these two men. Thank you.
me too - just found him the other day. amazing guy.
@@randyhowesfamily a fun fact... Larry & Joe Haun lived & worked in Coos Bay for the 2nd half of their careers. Only 75 miles away
Jimmy Haun's a great guy too .
Sir you are no moron, thank you for making this series.
I just want to say that apart from Scott being an amazing builder and teacher, he is also an amazing narrator. Totally confident in front of the camera and knows art of delivery. He's a fantastic guy and I never get tired of listening him talk. He should be on tv. I have watched every video and it will be a sad day when this project ends and there are no more videos to look forward to. Untill then, i'm looking forward to the next like thousands of others. Keep up the good work. Aaron from New Zealand.
Have to admire a man who corrects his mistakes! Goes right to core of his character, well done sir you continue to reinforce what we already knew. Your an honorable man of good character with great skills who takes pride in his work. Thanks for the education.
Another great video! I am building my own house out here in Ohio and I wanted to say thank you for all of the wisdom you are sharing, it's not common to see builders talk about the process of building a house. That tip on the foam roof mats just made my life a ton easier!
I liked that as well, makes loads of sense....
ABC Supply actually sells foam pads for that purpose but any knowledgeable roofer knows any foam will work. Someone sits an old sofa at the curb? Snatch those cushions and strip off the fabric and, viola', you have your own little roofing buddies!
The foam rubber mats are genius! Fiberglass hurts soooooo much because it gets beneath your clothes if you're kneeling on it all day. Last time I did any shingle work, I wore black jeans, and it scraped my flesh raw even through the cloth. I love, love the foam rubber thing. Wish I'd known about it then. Will definitely be incorporating it when I have to re-do my roof very soon. I love working in comfort!
I work as a commercial carpenter and have thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. Although I do a similar kind of work on a daily basis it's kind of soothing to watch others do it and gain little tips here and there. Thanks for everything you guys do, keep up the good work!
5:28 Hey! I recognise that ladder dance move! It's called the osha shuffle isn't It?
The Belushi.
I've watched the whole series and you can tell every single person that has worked on this house takes pride in their work. They don't care about just earning a paycheck, they care about putting out and creating a product that looks nice, and will last.
I wish I could find people of this caliber in my neck of the woods. Everyone around here is either a hack or is not interested in working on a custom home. They prefer the generic developer gigs. My only option is to do it myself.
Good contractors are few and far between. It's a dwindling art, the good ones know it and charge accordingly but they're worth every penny!
@@sixtomidnight1492 I don't mind paying but there's nobody here who has the competence to do quality work.
@@OU81TWO same here that's why I have to know how to do everything and have every tool because subs don't show and do crap work, so always working, if they don't care about their work why do it, have respect I always say.
Except the guys that did the ductwork, only part I was really disappointed with
The world needs more people like you. Thanks for the awesome content.
Hi from england uk, love this channel, im a plumbing and heating engineer, love construction and i find these videos so interesting because here in the uk all homes are built by bricklayers and finshed off by carpenters etc, i truly do love your methods more, these vids belong on t.v instead of reality t.v .
Yes and tied double leaf block/brick external walls as well.
Why does the UK use brick? Is lumber that expensive? A stick frame house should allow much better insulation ability, not to mention much cheaper and quicker.
@@TheOwenMajor Don't go there. That's a permanent argument on YT. (this goes for metric/standard also)
I did my house with fiber cement first time ever working with it and I should do a video of all my mistakes after watching this one keep up the good work👍
I am so blessed by this content. I work in the trades so it's relaxing to watch good work done by good people.
first dyi video I've watched that the guy had an authentic set of saw horses, good set of saw horses to something to be proud of, I'm old school first thing on the job we were expected to construct a set of saw horses. thank you for the videos, I'm a 69yr old 3rd generation retired carpenter, you do it right.
how about priming and painting the raw cut edge , according to the manufactor
I really appreciate the time you have put into this series. I’ve learned more than you know, keep it up and thanks again
I really enjoy this series,your as honest as humanly possible,you show your mistakes and show us how to do it right.A lot of us are reaping the benefits and we thank you .
This house looks so different and is built so differently from houses where I live. I like it a lot and wish I could build a house just like that here where I am!
You got yourself some quality installers right there man. Well chosen. And love the foam on the roof trick! Genius. Keep up the good work.
6:46 I Love the foam to protect brand new asphalt shingles! Super Pro! Beautiful work & videos, Sir! TYVM!!
With all the garbage that is out there, I really enjoy watching your videos. Very refreshing. Nice music as well 👌
The expansion and contraction is a very real issue in construction with modern engineered materials and tight tolerances. It is magnified exponentially in areas with wide temperature swings and wide humidity swings.
The micro climate I build in has crazy temperature and humidity swings that will cause a 16' LP side to expand over 1/4" if it was installed on a cold dry day. That has just enough flex to not fail but it will bow out between fasteners. But if the house shifts at all, or if there is a major temperature swing when fiber cement siding is installed, it can cause it to completely crack. Kind of like the sidewalks or rarely freeway sections in CA when they pop up 1' in the air on a hot day because the expansion joints failed or there was not enough room to expand. Keep the gaps, as they definitely work.
On a new install, I measured 1/8 with that spacing tool. A week later, very cold, very dry they shrank up to 1/4" in some areas, and when it hit over 100 at 90% humidity, they were almost touching. Hard to imagine that much movement, but it is definitely there.
The pressures and forces exerted even on a single piece of siding are insane when extrapolated across the entire length.
As always, beautiful work and great info. Very thankful to have a channel like this to watch and enjoy!
Absolutely. If you ever work with PVC, which is pretty popular in my parts, you really see the thermal movement.
@@incognitotorpedo42
The apartment next to where I live installed vinyl siding over their lap siding a few years ago rather than properly strip and repaint the wood. I could tell quickly they were doing it wrong by driving the nails all the way down tight and butting the joints together without proper spacing. I walked over and told the manager but they did not want to listen. That vinyl siding always buckled in the heat because the tight nails and lack of space at the joints did not allow it to expand and contract freely. Then fastening points started to fail.
The wind in the Texas Panhandle regularly blows 20, 30 MPH and higher. Sometimes during thunderstorms we can get wind speeds up to 90+ MPH. So after about three years the wind started breaking pieces of the vinyl siding off and it got so bad that this year they have had to strip all of it off and start residing with a different material.
All because the manager did not want to listen or make the installers go back and redo what they had already done properly. Ego is expensive, humility is cheap.
@@oldtimefarmboy617 that's the reason vinyl siding is "hung". I worked as a subcontractor for over 25 years and have seen every type of bad construction you could think of. Try roofing shingles using one nail. Someone, (don't know who😁) let the building inspector know.
In reference to 9:30- Hardie absolutely grows length-wise and shrinks. If you do not leave recommended gaps at ends, the siding will push against the trim and buckle where it is butted. I see it all the time here in FL. The longer the run the wider the gap you should consider. Hope this helps someone
yes J , humid climates wreak havoc on Hardie producrs . that 1/8" thing is SO important .
Your videos are the paradigm of perfection! Thank you so much!!!
As an amateur, self-taught carpenter in what feels like a sea of hacks, it’s incredibly refreshing and inspirational to know I am not alone in my quest for perfection of craft. I would sure love to work with you!
That's looking great! We've used old couch cushions on roofs for twenty years, works great in the summer to protect those shingles.
That foam trick with those steps you made are great. I've worked commercial construction and was also a painting contractor all over roofs and wish I had known to use that method. It would have made things much safer and more comfortable.
Carpet pad does the trick also. We have several contractors in our area that come pick up the used carpet pad we tear out of houses for this very reason.
What a gorgeous house. You're a top notch teacher and an even better carpenter. I have really enjoyed watching the entire series, as well as the other video's. Your temperament and personality reminds me so much of my late father and he was the wisest man I've ever known.
Another quality informative video Scott. Keep up the good work!
The house is looking so beautiful! I have never seen the system you were using to protect the installed shingles and that is a very efficient and great way of thinking.
The best thing about this channel is that i find it inspires me to get off my backside and get the jobs done around my home ‘Keep up the good work’ is damn right.
So much good advice in your videos and loads of tips for anyone in the trades . Also glad to see you accepting tips and viewpoint from your viewers. A little tip I have that I would like to share with you and your viewers is the use of eggcrate foam , it is smooth on one side and as the name implies has an eggcrate texture on the other, is usually available in various thicknesses and the eggcrate really holds on to anything you may want to lay on it , you don't have to watch your tools or supplies slide off . We just roll it up after a job and tie it with string, its considered one of our tools .Keep up the great work !
That is one handsome house, guys. Thank you for taking the time to capture on video.
Looks fantastic. Since I'm contemplating an almost identical patterns of clapboard and shingles in the gable to replace the aluminum siding on my house, I really appreciated the detailed insights.
Love the idea of using the foam on the roof, what a neat trick!
Thanks for the great video's and information you share!
Yep couch cushions and tennis shoes(sneakers) best things on the roof.
Pleasure watching this through the whole build, perfect craftsmen amazing work thanks for all the excellent teaching
Another awesome video, I’m loving this detailed series. I can’t wait to see the work inside (being an electrician) keep up the good work sir
This is really turning out to be a sharp looking house with the quality to back up its looks. I’ve been watching this series from the start and I’m always excited to see the next one, easily the best series on UA-cam! Keep em comin!
Saturday mornings are highlighted by your videos. I watch a lot of building videos on UA-cam, in fact I consume them. A recent video from another respected UA-camr tours construction sites and points out what he sees as mistakes. Seeing your work and close up shots reminded me of this, it takes a lot of humility to open up your work to the scrutiny, let alone post close ups of your work, or admit your mistakes. The guys who have worked on this project should also be commended for their work in this matter as well. Thank you for your time and honesty in your good work.
Oh my god bro, those cuts are a thing of beauty. The attention to detail these guys show is really intense. Much respect 🤘
Lovely to see the clear bond between Scott and his dad.
So glad to see your corbels at the fascia totally BEHIND it. I cant tell you how many rot jobs we have done fixing the ones that come out past. Good work! I wish you were closer I'd loan you my boom lift & basket. Nor CA GC. Take care.
The foam padding is such a great idea to prevent damage to the new roofing shingles. I was working on my storage shed and had to work on the roof early in the morning and wear athletic shoes rather than boots to minimize roof damage. I'll use your ideas in the future.
Butt flashing? Isn’t that a plumber’s product?
Yes, usually used in hard to reach places under kitchen sink.
Comment voted “peachy.”
If you go back to an earlier video in this series, you will see that product being demonstrated.
John hahahahahahahahahahahaha...........pissing myself laughing !!!!!!!
No butt should be.
Looks good overall
I've always used a story pole to figure out my elevations so that I get an uncut piece above big garage doors, or maybe the window lines for example. It's also handy to make sure that the elevation is identical around corners. I guess the holders advantage is always having the same reveal and not even varying by a 16th though.
I prefer holding to a line also, even after grinding down the lip the gecko gauges seem to pry out the course below. I can see how they can keep a bunch of installers on the same page, but a few story poles can do that too.
The exterior is really starting to come together with all the finish trim going on. For me, just the right amount of visual interest going on, without getting too busy.
I could sit there and look at the ‘Right (north?) Elevation’ all day long with the quirky, non-standard angles of the structure, dressed up with the multiple textures of the siding and shingle siding. The oversized, corbeled overhangs and the corner and window trim. Really a very aesthetically pleasing elevation.
KUTGW!
Oh my gosh! That is brilliant ! they are using a slab of foam on the roof as a nee pad/shingle protection/ anti slip mat. absolutely brilliant !
Such a beautiful home! It's a pleasure to watch it being built.
This is so professional your scaffolding and pumps set up your cut stations off the ground helping guys out getting materials up.. man oh man would I like to work for an outfit like this.. I’m always up on the most dodgy scaffolding or trying to hang on to a vent with one foot while sliding of a steep pitch trying to install siding two stories up having to make production no matter what. I literally come home from 10 hour days and watch this channel to help me get to sleep it is so much more peaceful than my work days and I actually do love construction. I appreciated your video about Larry Haun so much because I watched so many of his as well. Thanks for good content
I love all the virtual interest and details in the roof line etc. Thank you for not going ultra basic.
I have so much respect for roofers and siding guys. I could never get up that high and move around like them.
Like most things, you get used to it. Which is its own danger too, of course! I remember that, during my first days as a solar installer, I was terrified of going up a long extension ladder and of being on a roof. Then I got used to it, and went up most ladders without much thought. My wife was worried about me being on the roof of my new shop I'm building and yeah, all roofs are dangerous, but this one is 4/12 pitch and each side is 1800 square feet, so I explained that I could almost run across it and be fine. That said, I'd never want to be high up on ladders and roofs for a long-term job. It is dangerous!
@@bmay8818 YEAH , 4/12 ISNT BAD . WE CALL THAT A "WALKER" . PROBLEM IS , THOSE LOW PITCHES CAN TRAIN YOU TO TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED .
Thank you for all the hard work sir. I appreciate the time you have put into your craft and your ongoing education. God bless.
Wow ... that's really starting to transform into ... a nice HOUSE.
Like the advice about practicing the shingles on the back!
'Keep up the good work.'
I love this house! I live in an early 1930's Craftsman home. Not quite as fancy as yours and a few less brackets in the gables. I remodeled the home in 2008 when there was no outside work anyway. I studied period-correct interior trim features so my little bungalow looked right inside and out!
The attention to detail that I didn’t even think of but makes perfect sense when you point it out is mind boggling on how you can keep it all straight. Proving I’m better just stick with my job.
I especially love pops. Sitting, enjoying his pipe..... "My work is done, time to watch the young ones". 👍. Keep going ol' boy!!!
Awesome to be learning carpentry and come home and get quality review of what I learn from essential craftsman. Keep up the good work
Really appreciate y’all’s craftsmanship and sharing helpful tips along the way.
Love watching these videos with my coffee on Saturday morning
Aahhh, the exterior finishing is a nice milestone!! Keep up the good work!
Speaking of the foam-rubber for roofing protection, about 40 yr ago I had an old asbestos/cement shingle roof where the ridge cap needed repairing. It was almost impossible to traverse the shingles without breaking them. I bought a damaged aluminum extension ladder and separated the 2 halves. I wrapped each with foam-rubber. I laid one ladder down horizontal and I laid down on the ladder and reached down and pulled the other ladder up and over. I "prone-walked" up to the ridge and did the repair without breaking a shingle or a bone.
The foam is awesome I did a skylight a while back it kept me from sliding and stuff from rolling etc and cushions my knees it's a huge plus having the foam .the siding crew looks solid .good job Scott .
Great job man love you videos appreciate everything you do I wish a lot more people these days would be the same way
Did anybody else binge watch all 82+ episodes in 2 days? House looks great! Can’t wait to see it become a home.
lol NICK............you really gotta get out more often bro !!! hehehehehe joke
Even though I've watched your video on ladder safely, and know your level of competence, watching you fellas up the top of those ladders scared the 'carp' out of me! Stay safe fellas!
The house looks fantastic and the shingles compliment the ship lap siding.
Great job guys attention to detail is spot on.
Wonderfully attractive edifice. Sound craftsmanship, superb materials. A great testament to the master builder(you). It'll make a comfortable home for a family for generations to come.
Love this Chanel, been a builder carpenter for a long time now in the uk, keep it up your great well presented and family friendly, 👍
Wonderfull Job! Thanks for this series! I saw all videos. ESPECTACULAR! It reached me here, in Brazil! Please, keep up the good work.
Haydan Klein
Another fine video! Always a joy to sit back and relax and spend that time watching and learning. Take care and keep up the great work! :)
Looks so good. Great momentum and fun to see the siding event happening. Whew!
I've enjoyed this series and have watched and eagerly anticipated the next episode
I have Hardiboard on my house, and yes, that shingled Hardiboard on the gables does look really nice. Thanks!
Best way yet to start a Saturday morning! Thanks!
Just another great video. Thanks Scott & Nate
This house looks unreal mate well done!! It is a pleasure to watch and learn these building methods from Australia
Wow the house is really coming together! I love the shake in the gables also!
Never thought about the foam on the roof trick. I will be using that idea in the near future!
Great video brother 👊👍👊💪. Keep up the good work. I've learned a lot from your channel. I started my own side business doing remodeling and framing so I appreciate everything your channel has to offer
You are one of the finest craftsman and it is an absolute joy to watch you work ! Most common mistakes that I have observed, and which you cover: (1) follow manufacturer's guidelines; (2) have the correct / best tools; and (3) safety, safety, safety. I have been on too many jobs where one or all are missing. Thanks for sharing your lifetime of knowledge in the most professional videos on UA-cam.
Thanks for all you do.
Great video. Love watching the progress on the house.
I love the pipe smoking gentleman. He plays a critical role in the production of this house. I imagine him being a very good, loyal friend, and very intelligent. We all need a pipe smoking friend. If nothing else he adds a pleasurable aroma to the air.
I LOVE your videos. I learn something everytime. I wish I could have worked on your crew back when I was in my 20's.
I love the shingles and I especially love that you are using James Hardie weatherboard. I note the contractors are using a much quicker way to cut the boards, than the hand cranked cement board slicing tool, I have had many an aching elbow using one of those, as I had to re-clad a south facing wall of an out building on my parents first home. I had to do it really quick too. As a nasty south westerly weather system was approaching. Hardie panal, Hardie plank. Are very commonly used here in New Zealand, and when applied in the right settings look fantastic. However when not used in the right architectural setting they can make the building look really budget and cheap. Thanks for all your content, this is such a mile stone in construction education. Hopefully it might prevent a lot of headaches in the future when one is contracted to repair Home builds in the future.
You and your crew do great work! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing how this team work,and how clean look everything they do.I would love to work with these guys.
Congrats.
I love look of the finishing touches on the house
Your videos always inspire me to get moving. I get a jumbled up brain and can’t figure stuff out and I watch your video and bam I’m back to enjoying putting my art back into construction.
What a beautiful job!! I have been doing this a l0ng time,and been watching your work and the pride you have in your work!! Well done,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!! R and W
