Your video has some good advice and I like your shiplap approach. I'm designing a house and pondering how to deal with windows, which may be the most complicated and important thing: that could be a video on its own.
GREAT tips, thank you! I just found and started following you all here. I'm using vertical Northern White Cedar shiplap on a barn conversion to living space. Can you share your thoughts on creating a level perimeter cut at the bottom without using a continuous ledger? I've considered running the boards slightly long and cutting after with a worm drive saw against fastening a temporary level ledger to the the foundation to sit the finished cut ends on. Our foundation is raised 24" above grade to accommodate a taller first floor ceiling and SOG 18" below top of foundation wall and 6" above grade. That line on the bottom of the siding boards at a height that will be easy to see. Thanks again for any suggestions!
I am curious, do you face nail the siding? also, do you add horizontal strips to the framing behind the siding to nail to, or do you add blocking between the wall studs?
Great looking building! Curious - you mention caulking on the sides and bottom, but not the top. I've always been told just the opposite - caulk the top not the bottom, as it will allow water to escape...
@@DerekRush-q4u when installing windows, caulking goes on the top and sides (but not the bottom). When installing siding, caulk the sides and bottom (but not the top). You want to leave a gap at the top for moisture that is already behind the siding to get out and rollover the top of the window, and then down over the siding. If you leave a gap at the bottom of the window and siding, then all the water rolling down the window will get underneath your siding
First class video, tutorial and end result on this siding project... nicely done! Best, Matt
Thanks, Matt! Glad to be in touch! Cheers, Logan
Natural wood is like gold
Yes it is! Right now, the lumber prices so high, the cost is about the same as gold per ounce!

Thanks, Dave! Glad you enjoyed it 🤩

Fantastic, I am doing the same thing with pine but on the inside of my barn, what nails did you use? Thanks.
Galvanized ring shank nails, but you may need to go back with screws in certain spots where boards twist and nails won’t hold

Rockin' it Logan & Crew ! I can be your "How Not To" video example if you need ... ;)
🤣thanks, Shawn! I hope all is well with you.
@0.07 timeline Amen to that!
What kind of flashing did you use between the siding but joints?
26 gauge painted steel
What sort of finish do you recommend to protect the wood
Is that 4/4 or 5/4 shiplap and what grade lumber was it? Great look and craftsmanship. Thanks Robert in Virginia
Thanks! They are rough sawn 4/4 #1 clear cypress boards with the circular mill marks visible on some surfaces . True 1”+ thickness
😮😮 Als erstes würde ich mir mal Gedanken über Hinterlüftung der Fassade machen. Senkrechte und waagerechte Latrung.
Very nice technique and video!Did you guys used glue on the corner boards also? Or there are just nails (screws)?
We normally glue the corner boards, but with this rough sawn material, we didn’t feel it would be effective.
I see. Make sense. Thank you Logan!
😂dont pull down your pants
Is this a yankee barn
NC
What difference does that make?
Can't support a channel that makes unnecessary and crude statements.. I'm not here for dirty talk
I think u need to tell me what you sealed or stained the wood with ? copper green certain areas? wood sealer? Stain ?
@@kendalgee5808 just clear wood sealer, it will naturally patina
The phallic joke @ 02:55.🤥 Always use a tape measure and measure twice, cut once. The tape does not lie📏 📐📏✍
