Your project was very enjoyable to me..i went scrolling and yours nailed it...i watched every episode..so very nice of you to share with us watching the interesting aspects..i think the best i have seen actually..👍
That's definitely not a requirement and requires an incredible amount of work. Fine if you've got a whole crew working but it would have taken me at least a day to fill every nail hole.
On Zip they always stress to sink your nail heads flush. They do allow up to 1/8 of embedment. Anything over that exposes the untreated and finished plywood chips. And it will void the warranty on the zip. They call for 4”-6” strips of tape to be applied and rolled on over the nail spots. I do a lot of apartment buildings, Hotels, and assisted living buildings and duplexes. Those jobs always have material reps nosing around.
I have the same issue on my gable end, where I cannot reach the siding under the barge board. I ran a 3" screw through the 1-1/2" barge board through the 1-1/2" gap and into the siding, basically pinning it against the house.
well made video as always! I have one question though. you mention this siding is susceptible to moisture retention, or holding water. why would you then nail this directly to your zip system, and not put a ventilation gap/layer between. Don't know how much your weather changes, but there is pretty much bound to happen some sort of condensation, and when that happens, the condensation has nowhere to go but inside your lap siding.
Yea, what you're talking about it a rain screen. I considered it but, after talking to the Perkins guys who have been using this siding for years in this area with no rain screen, I decided it wasn't necessary. They complicate a lot of details, like around the windows/doors, etc.
Great video! You talked about using finish nails on the last course of siding. What gauge are these? I have some angles where the angled tails need to be pinned down better and using a standard siding nail isn't going to work as I can't maintain the spacing requirement. So I was thinking of just using some 16 gauge SS or HDG finish nails here?
What do you use for the side Trims around the edges and the trim going up where the 2 lap siding comes together? or is it the same lap siding and caulked at all the joints? Love the video, extremely helpful!
I always see US installers do cladding directly to the sheeting under the membrane (or ZIP in this instance) but in the UK I always see vertical battens being used before the cladding. Thoughts?
Yup, those battens form a rain screen and I considered doing it here but don’t think it was totally necessary in our climate. That said, it definitely provides drainage behind the siding and gives the water somewhere to escape if it gets behind the siding.
Thanks :) made me doubt myself. I feel like most places would be 100% ok but I’m in Scotland and need all the rain protection I can get 😂 and a small garage so not too much extra work
Hey Johnny, with that said, should rain get behind the siding, with it being OSB and not be treated like the front, won’t it swell up and get ruined and need replacing?
@@craftedworkshop Around here, we have Carter Lumber and they carry the line. We have a 120 year old house that I'm considering using the stuff on, and just going right over the beat up cove siding that's already there (and coincidentally it will be the perfect layout plan for all the gingerbread and details)
I like working with LP siding but their nailing requirements drive me nuts. Any worries with using standard shank size siding nails? They call for minimum .113 shank diameter nails.
What would be a ball park difference in price between LP and Hardie? I just have to believe the concrete based Hardie would be a far superior product than LP OSB product. Hardie also does not require such a wide expansion joint, which gives a better appearance
Very nice work Johnny & Crew! Watching this series has made me realize that you really have to know what you are doing to accomplish this. So, my take away is to leave it to the Pros! 😉😉
Thanks for watching! And definitely don't get discouraged, I've learned this all along the way and the information is out there if you do your research.
sorry if I missed it but what material did you use for all the trim and the trim around stuff like outlets? And where did you get the flashing for those? what material is that?
When I used Hardie boards the guy at Home Depot kept putting them I the back of my wagon. He didn't stop till I yelled stop. Don't load any more. The front of the wagon was off the ground.
It's a 4/12 pitch, totally fine for the minimal snow we get here. We had height limitations based on our HOA so a shallower roof pitch allowed up to keep the ceiling height higher inside.
I can't help but feel you're hanging 10 dollar materials on a 5 dollar house. ynI'd figure you're pick vinyl. Not complaining. Love watching. you watch.
Not sure what you mean, as I haven’t cheaped out on any of the materials thus far. Our HOA wouldn’t have gone for vinyl and I’m personally not a huge fan of it either.

I guess I'm quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch new tv shows online?
@Dean Imran Ehh I use Flixportal. You can find it on google:) -grant
@Grant Emerson thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!!
@Dean Imran No problem :D
thanks again to the Perkins Brothers for telling us about Crafted Workshop
Glad they made the recommendation!
when do the perkins brothers ever get a day off?
Day off!?! What’s that ;)
Hah, they definitely work their butts off!
When you work construction.......
Love how your videos are packed full of content and whip along at a fast pace. Never a wasted second. Great stuff, really enjoying this series.
Thanks a lot Simon!

I love this series so much.
Thanks Andrew, spread the word!
First show I thought you´ll build a little hut. Now it turns out being something I would work half my life for in order to afford :D
Definitely turning into quite the project!
Excited to see the lights go in!
Me too!
YESSS! I was waiting for and needed this video in my life.
Thanks Nick!
How many nail guns do you a have LOL? Keep up the great work mate. Cheers, Sean
Hah, I've accumulated quite a few during this build! Framing, siding, roofing, trim, brad, etc.
One thing I noticed is that the nail holes on the zip were not covered/filled as best practice.
That's definitely not a requirement and requires an incredible amount of work. Fine if you've got a whole crew working but it would have taken me at least a day to fill every nail hole.

Heck yeah! Dude every episode is so sick! Keep it up!
Thanks man!
was the finish nailer used at the edges because it can get closer to the trim?
I have the same issue on my gable end, where I cannot reach the siding under the barge board. I ran a 3" screw through the 1-1/2" barge board through the 1-1/2" gap and into the siding, basically pinning it against the house.
Looks good 👍
Dewalt cordless roofing nailer maybe it worked! Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!

Hey, my dad is working for LP smart side
Nice!

15 gauge hot dipped
Great video. Skilled work.
Glad you enjoyed it

Love the video, extremely helpful!
I've got a whole video on the trim! th-cam.com/video/e-uHFGgM1AE/w-d-xo.html Glad the video was helpful!
You’re guy got down on his knees every time he shot that nailer for the very first row…lol
You did what from the inside of the house on the gable? 😅😅

Hah yea it’s pretty rainy over there 😂 Spent a week in Islay two summers ago, can’t wait to go back!
Hey Johnny, with that said, should rain get behind the siding, with it being OSB and not be treated like the front, won’t it swell up and get ruined and need replacing?
@@KnottenWood Yup, using battons means you'll get airflow behind your siding as well, preserving it for longer.
house is looking good!
Thanks Mike!
Nice work! Have you done anything with Boral? Love to hear your thoughts on it.
Not yet but it was definitely a product I considered. I couldn't seem to find it locally though!

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Thanks Marius!
Do you have any plans with a loft?
Great video!!👍👍
I like working with LP siding but their nailing requirements drive me nuts. Any worries with using standard shank size siding nails? They call for minimum .113 shank diameter nails.
For how long does a wooden house (like this one) last?
Those are almost non-existent in my country.
Im a home inspector in the states and I routinely inspect a 100+ year old wood framed homes that are in great shape.
We own a 2 story house that was built in 1898 in Wisconsin from trees milled on the property.
What would be a ball park difference in price between LP and Hardie? I just have to believe the concrete based Hardie would be a far superior product than LP OSB product. Hardie also does not require such a wide expansion joint, which gives a better appearance
Pricing is very similar but I think if the LP product is installed correctly, it will last just as long as Hardie.
Very nice work Johnny & Crew! Watching this series has made me realize that you really have to know what you are doing to accomplish this. So, my take away is to leave it to the Pros! 😉😉

I did a whole video on the trim and flashing! th-cam.com/video/e-uHFGgM1AE/w-d-xo.html
When I used Hardie boards the guy at Home Depot kept putting them I the back of my wagon. He didn't stop till I yelled stop. Don't load any more. The front of the wagon was off the ground.
Hah, Hardie is definitely super heavy!
I'm here!
You were first!
Hey what's that siding board support during installation!?
Its the installation tool that keeps the proper gapes an overlap. Smart side sells them
It's called simple sider jig
Everything shown in the video is linked in the video description.
how much cost
How much would 400 sq ft cost?
Nice build but why is the roof pitch shallow? Can it handle snow?
I think they mentioned that in one of the first videos. It was a home owners Association thing if I'm not mistaken.
It's a 4/12 pitch, totally fine for the minimal snow we get here. We had height limitations based on our HOA so a shallower roof pitch allowed up to keep the ceiling height higher inside.
Whould you share the cost of the entire project in the future?
Planning to do a video on that here soon!
Pretty nice work, dude! It's really looking fantastic! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! You too!
Where can i buy this??
LP smart siding has been in the news for failing prematurely. I wish you luck.
❤️❤️❤️
🤘
Hey Johnny, no rain screen?
Nope! Considered it but decided to skip it. We'll see how it holds up, I know our main house doesn't have one and it has no issues.
Congrat for work can i work with you?i love Wood lavoration
Thanks!
3rd
Can I attach this siding with my cordless framing nailer with ring shank galvanized nails?
Yup. We use paslodes with no mar tips and full round head nails.
Awesome. Thanks guys
The only thing would be the amount of reloading you'd have to do compared to a siding nailer. Might be worth renting one to save you some time there.
A totally unknown task to me. I learned.
Thanks!
Im here early.. :)
🤘
This video is set as non-listed. Is it correct?
You managed to find it in a playlist before I set it to private, well done!
It looks like a trailer. 😬
A bit, but with the landscaping and hardscaping work I'm going to do around it, it should end up looking nice.
Rich Democrats.
I told perkins they were crazy for not using gecko gauges snapping lines up all the walls is a huge waste of time
Definitely, I think they’ll be using them in the future after trying them here!

Not sure what you mean, as I haven’t cheaped out on any of the materials thus far. Our HOA wouldn’t have gone for vinyl and I’m personally not a huge fan of it either.
I’ve spent about $35k on the house so far. I’ve gotten a few things donated but have still spent plenty.
