Your videos have covering this house keep getting better and sharper. You’re killing it sir.
Big Wet Slurry should be a band playing coffee houses around Corvallis...
Ha! loved the Flicker, Nate! had one who continually came knocking.....on the sheet metal chimney of my mother's house. Maybe he just loved the sound!
Boy oh boy this will be a fun comments section 😃
I chase a woodpecker weekly off our cedar house in Wisconsin. foil strips are about the only deterrent that works, but they fall apart in the wind. I have had to patch and replace a lot of siding!
Use old DVDs !
sir, i have huge respect for your dedication to this trade and your ability to teach, it isnt often that i see this combination. you are helping me touch up on an old trade so that i can build my own house top to bottom, thank you sir
Great to see them using proper respirators during cutting of the siding.
At least they had a fan blowing over the cut station.
Really no reason to use saws to cut cement board when power shears and guillotine cutters do the job with no dust and no fuss!
Go show them how it's done, buddy
Don’t worry. Only causes cancer in the state of California. 😉
Nate- the music you chose for the videos is amazing! The songs you choose make a great video even better!
An interesting video as always, thanks for your time and efforts to put these up.
Nice.
Thanks for the awesome videos and all the amazing content!!
Looking very nice!
Great video Nate.
I used a cement board siding called "Maxiplank" in place of Hardie to save a few bucks. It shrank, cracked and warped. After many lawsuits, they went out of business. Sometimes it is best to stay with a known product. Hope you have better luck Nate! Love the videos that you and your dad produce!
Why is this not on a playlist, specifically for building your house? Even numbering this series in the title would help the algorithm...
Thank you for the video.
I'm a siding manager for a turn key siding company in South C Carolina. We do all types of siding from vinyl to Hardie to cedar. The siding your referring to that's painted is called Color Plus. Its nice but very labor intensive and expensive.
Why is it labor intensive? I'd assume it would be less so
More or less labor intensive than the unpainted stuff?
@user-vb3ly7ib4r a few reasons why. The corners are attached using corner brackets that you nail on the back of the 5/4 board that you nail to the wall. The same for the trim around the windows. All the trim comes with a plastic film on top of it and you leave it on when you nail it and come back with a paint dobber to fill the holes. If you look up how to install Hardie Color Plus siding you'll get a better understanding of what I'm talking about. But also the installer has to use a ISO caulk to caulk all the gaps and you can't screet it like you do normal caulking.

Those woodpeckers wake me up bangin' on my metal chimney. :)
We have them banging on our spark arrestor, which cracks me up. Turns out to be a mating call. Then, they went after my saguaro 🌵 and that’s when it became personal so they aren’t welcome here anymore.
Oh no not the Cactus!@@wilbready
Thank you
House is looking great! I prefer LP but I have used it for many years and had great success. No product is perfect, but we all have our favorites for our climate! I live in Florida and it seems to do much better to hurricanes/tropical thunderstorms than Hardie boards. love it tho! Keep it up!
Wood peckers love stucco here in Phoenix. Woodpeckers are Protected species and you are not allowed to disturb them or kill or even throw anything at them to stop destroying your house. Here in Phoenix, woodpeckers love to chip holes in our stucco.
Same thing happened to me in El Paso.
lol I remember the days of siding without gecko gauges. Took twice as long
this house should be called "what the construction of a circa 2005 house looks like". Neat look at the past.
I wouldn't assume fiber cement siding is the best. Pros and cons for everything
That’s Forest Trim. It’s a fingerjointed Cypress product. Smells incredible. The highest quality exterior trim around!
Get the over the shoulder harness for your weed eater. Stihl makes a real nice one (that I own) but I'm sure there are plenty of other good ones. Makes a lot of difference in fatigue because it's not being carried by your arms all day, the weight is shifted to your back
Great video as always. Something I keep wondering when watching various videos of the house... why didn't the plumber combine some of the vents into fewer number with larger diameter pipe? Obviously nice that they put them on the back of the house, but seems like could have minimized roof protrusions.
9:04 use number 247 for the Burke Bar!!
I see a few channels have the Burke Bar , they seem handy. Camarata has one and he hasnt destroyed it,,,,yet. That says a ton about how strong they are too! LOL
@@warrenmichael918 Scott sent Andrew that Burke Bar, IIRC.
@@TokyoCraftsman I think so too.
5:10 "He's lucky I dont have a bb gun right here... THAT'S VANDALISM!!"
I work for a company that paints Hardie siding here in BC. Everything is automated. It's quite the process. You need to do a video on it
I'd love to see it. Also a vid on how it's made.
Window flashing tape on the header not under the house wrap?
Also, didn’t think flashing tape was necessary on the sill.
House looks great. Respectfully sharing thoughts.
Nice house. I'm looking at Hardi- plank, myself for a small addition. Hope you got re-imbursed for all that wasted roof underlayment😀
Cemplank and Hardie Plank are very similar but not exactly the same and Hardie Plank actually carries a longer warranty.
I've been around a bunch of nasty stuff, I dont mess around with silica dust without a respirator.
Agree. And, using the snippers is a much better way to go.
Why can't we buy the old style siding we used only a few years ago?
Cue the woodpecker! 😁
Was this Spring 2023? Cause last time I looked it was still Winter here in the Coos Bay, Oregon area.
I love my Hardie plank siding. But for DIY, I worry about putting anything on it, from a hose reel to a new motion light. I'm afraid it will break when I drill into it.
Cut out for a block. Then attach it to the block.
In my area saving a few bucks is the motto of most of contractors. There is so much vinyl here and I hate it.
If that bigger weedeater gets a bit to heavy, they sell straps for hanging it off your shoulders.
why would you not have any insulation?
I had a woodpecker knock two large holes in the stucco of my house in El Paso.
Nice vid. Your window flashings are reverse lapped. Uh oh.
I have windowed and sided many homes in my day. I do not tape over the bottom window flanges as these guys have. Come back in ten to twenty years and you'll know why. Also, I tape directly onto the bare sheathing, then have the WRB overlap. Just common sense. Finally, I vertically strap the walls before siding. Seems everybody knows these techniques but some guys go simple instead. Thank you.
Gives a dire warning and defines it as "You'll know why" after 20 years. What a perfectly useless communication. Trying to scare people while making sure not to help them, meanwhile bragging without illustrating.
@@MattsAwesomeStufffor the sake of others asking why, its because putting tape over the bottom of the window flange interrupts the shingle style layering of the different components. that bottom flange may get water dripping down it over time and you want it to fall on top of the next shingled layer, and not be caught by something on top.
There should be tape on the bottom of rough opening of the window so the flange can go on top
@@MattsAwesomeStuff Only Matt is scared and can't be helped.
Interesting that Scott spent a fair amount of time during the Spec House series emphasizing the importance of flashing over the top of window and door trim ... on Nate's house ... nada.
I'm sure it's probably just fine, but there's 0 chance I'm changing the type of siding I'm using halfway through my house build
Paint may be expensive to screw up, but it's also merely expensive to fix.
No breather material behind the siding? That's not great
I spotted a lot of different things done wrong on this house.
Window wrap being one of them, didn't see flashing above the windows either.
Comments are loaded tonight - safety guys, bob vilas, and the woodpecker huggers ha ha
I'm just jealous I don't have hardy boards, BUT you still need to paint every 5 years & a fake owl will do just fine keeping the birds away! Vinyl is finial!
I have hardie panel on a building from 1994. Paint is holding up fine. PPG midline paint.
Vinyl still needs maintenance and when it starts to look crappy you still have to deal with it. Also, it can be painted (and should be when it starts showing age)
woodpecker lol
Never could see a house that’s not built of brick or stone as anything but temporary.
you should have bought the ore painted siding !... unless you enjoy painting your house every 5 years $$$
Stucco way better and will last a lot longer!
Why would a woodpecker peck through the wood if he didn't hear something crawling around chewing on the wood? Neighbor might have a bigger problem than the woodpeckers, the new house though, that woodpecker shouldn't have any reason to be tapping.
Yikes.
The flashing was all done wrong.
Watching ppl not pre assemble their window trim is not easy. I can measure, cut and assemble a whole house of window kits in a few hours. If you do it piece by piece you’re wasting a ton of time. Not to mention pocket screws and a good adhesive will hold the trim together much better than a couple face nails near the joints.
Nate, I'm 100% in on Essential Craftsman, and clan wadsworth; love your entire brand.... but with all respect sir, I'm 1,000% OUT on any siding that is within a mile of the phrase "wood pulp". After years in exterior home improvement, I can't possibly stand behind anything James Hardie. Yikes.
Hardie is good stuff. Much better than anything LP. What should be put on a house here in the wet Pacific Northwest?
@tedreid1035 Well you might be right still. However, in the southeast here, I've seen house after house with compromised hardie board due to not booking a painter every 12 months religiously. Cracked, crumbling, looking like rotted wood almost. Used to it was rule to gap butt joints and caulk them. Imagine: relying 100% on the integrity of caulk to stop wall sheathing rot. Now, that rule has changed? I'm not a siding guy, I do gutters... but I'm also observant and I've not yet observed a build that made me want to fall head over heels for putting up hardie. I'll say, it does indeed look nice brand new and freshly painted, but find a good painter and go ahead and book him on a rolling schedule.
Maybe I'm surrounded by bad builds and bad builders (total truth) but surely a product like that can survive a less- than- ideal install.
2:39 it does but between the siding and the roof… those are really poor decisions…..100% they were not durable options chosen for a house.
Hold back the safety on the nail gun and let them fly!
The cement board looks wavy gravy in long runs. Plus you have to paint it. Ugh.
That’s just character, it’ll work itself out lol.
Poor guy cutting that crap has a horrible job , I know from experience . You need a oxygen tank and a hazmat suit 😂
People should be free to do as they wish.
I wish this guy would just get his own UA-cam channel that I could not watch.
I've never understood why people put so much into building a new house and none into the architecture. The front elevation on this is so bad and thoughtless. Anyone looking at it should be mad.
A BB gun, that speaks volumes about "YOU"
Relax Francis. It was most likely said tongue-in-cheek.
Why would it be a joke? He has a vermin ruining his house. You're the same type that would cry about a mousetrap and not seal the holes they need to get into your pantry. He's not going on an extermination spree in the forest. Jeez. Some balanced reasonability in life is of value. The world isn't black and white.
These videos that are meant not for blue collar home ownership but rather higher administrative or even foreign assets type jobs where the house hold income is upwards 150-400k a year.
Wasted time to show off this type of craftsmanship when most of the people who watch your shows are lower on the pay scale. But, I could be wrong. Maybe everyone is rich and Democratic.
