If I needed help building a house and had to choose between you, R R builders or the Perkins I would choose you every day of the week. Our building philosophy’s align quite well and your sense of humor is spot on most of the time 😂
I have to say after spending time with Perkins and Kyle & Greg, Id be happy with both crews building my house. Thanks for the compliment. Those guys are awesome and even being mentioned with them is am honor.
Your channel RULES! Every vid is fresh with education and enjoyable ... love being subbed ... thanks for taking all the extra work on the job to make these. You are a philosopher tooo. Hope you all have a perfect weekend!
We are in the design stages of building a house in the rockies of BC. Learning so many tips and tricks from you guys! My builder is going to hate me :)
Thanks now I understand the value of a story pole. I’m in the middle of replacing siding on our home. I’ve been using the laser level for each row. 😂 Definitely using this from now on!
"if you are remodeling you definitely do not want to shoot level". how true is this? in so many different applications. I do shoot level when working on my house but only to see how far off everything i am referencing from actually is. if it is too far off i may have underlying problems i need to address first. If it isn't too far off, it's time to rock and roll.
Hi Tim, another great video. I like that you talk about what you are doing and why you are doing it. Great insight into the process. 90% preparation 10% installation. Do you like those paslode guns better than the max high pressure?
Hey, all of this is well enough described, but in placing your windows (first story & second story) is thought given to having un-notched siding courses traveling over them? If yes, how is this integrated into the whole event? Is it a fantasy on two story conditions or possible? This would surmise that window trim (with some minor flexibility) is manipulated to permit full stacks of siding to abut. Like how a house with thoughtful openings in brick is done.....
I notice at the end of the video, you where attaching two pieces of siding. Don’t you or do you need to slide a piece of tar paper between the gap? I add a garage onto my house in AL and the city guy told me it was code???? I‘m from SD and our codes are different, I guess.
Nope. So with traditional LP Smart Side lap, sealant is spec'd and more than sufficient. Another detail they have is to leave the gap but put pan flashing or a slip sheet there. This version has a ship lap joint, so no need for sealant or flashing. Where we are nailing and the siding is butting trim on each side, we'll caulk the siding to the trim. lpcorp.com/products/siding-trim/build-with-lp-smartside/installation-instructions?gclid=CjwKCAjwqZSlBhBwEiwAfoZUIB2MgxBRNyypqPd60gAsvCBIP2mT4T-xMGI0gdqNQIN7sCM7RCLZeBoCi3IQAvD_BwE
Are you ever concerned about keeping the story pole plumb? Would you ever have the WRB in the same plane as the foundation, leave a 1/4" gap between WRB and foundation, and liquid flash that? What's the reason for letting WRB be proud of foundation?
Good questions. 1)WRB same plane as foundation is fine. Since the foundation walls are same plane as the framing, to keep the house dimensions the same, I just let the sheathing project past. I prefer not to use Liquid Flash there because its time consuming. Zip is our wood structural sheathing + WRB, so that's why it sits outside the foundation plane.
i still to this day say "SAUSAGES... SAUSAGES!!!!!" to my brothers at the sight of any sausages. A very strange sketch. I also think of it any time i see corn syrup, which the old woman eats on the sausages in the sketch
Personally as soon as I got several guages I stopped doing as much prep. Imo the quality difference is negligible and the production much faster. But to each their own
@@YThatesTRUTH Yep, self-terminating flashing has been used in commercial construction for a long long time. It was invented because its impossible on a commercial project to detail everything to avoid reverse laps due to scheduling. Just a fact of life there. When you look at Zip System, all horizontal tape must be self-terminating for the system to work. More than 15 years of success proves the concept. Just new for a lot of us who've been around for a long time.

Supposed to nail from one end to the other or center out to avoid internal pressure on the piece of siding.
Love the voice over.

Yes!!! I can’t wait to watch this. We side from the ground 😊

Yep, these nailers are definitely my favorite
Quick question. How were you able to get the smooth LP smart side? Distributor told me it was not being made about three weeks ago
Same here, I’d much rather use smooth smart side than Hardi.

You guys should put a level on your story pole
that was great

"Sausages" - from a 'talking' dog on Esther Rantzen's BBC show from the UK back in the 70's?!..
Is there a reason you put your ZIP System sheets vertical and don't stagger them ? Horizontally staggered will be much stronger.
Do you have your exhaust fans come out LP SmartSide J blocks?
Glorified s hitty as s OSB.
How can this even be sold anymore???
Let’s go another video
Great video! So what do you do to fill the overhanging first row?
What do you mean?
@@AwesomeFramers Your first row drops about 3" to cover the sealing tape. Do you leave that space open? Maybe it contacts the tape, I couldn't tell?
@@missulu Ah, I lower it roughly 2" and have a rip of LP nailed to the wall behind it to kick out the siding
@@AwesomeFramers I kind of figured that!?! I couldn't see it in the video! Thanks for getting back to me!
Did you put tape on the steps on the vertical concrete steps over the zip board thanks
Yep, just didn't show it.fkr the sake of time. The Zip all the way around is sealed with the Fentrim
went to Kyle's, and they sent me back here again.....🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i still to this day say "SAUSAGES... SAUSAGES!!!!!" to my brothers at the sight of any sausages. A very strange sketch. I also think of it any time i see corn syrup, which the old woman eats on the sausages in the sketch
I think I saw that sketch in junior high 🤣🤣🤣
Personally as soon as I got several guages I stopped doing as much prep. Imo the quality difference is negligible and the production much faster. But to each their own
I find the gauges slower 🤣🤣 maybe I need to pick up the pace
@AwesomeFramers to be fair on a large wall I'll have 6-8 pairs so I never have to reach far for one. I wish I could side walls flat like you do though
Those gauges are the cheapest helper you can buy. I can now side myself with 2 ladders and 2 gauges.
Seen a lot of videos of smart siding delaminating…what’s up with that?
That will only happen when it's installed incorrectly
Awesome 👍📐🔨
Thanks!
@@AwesomeFramers Happy 4th of July !
Tape was done wrong? Got negative overlap at the seam?
These tapes are "self terminating" and that's a non issue.
@@AwesomeFramers I saw zip directions saying do it like that. I thought it had to be bad directions. Very counter-intuitive
@mattrisinger...

I tried hard to source Siga Fentrim tape for my project and just couldn't get the stuff at a reasonable price (with shipping).
It's crazy expensive. Zip tape works very well
@@AwesomeFramers That's what I used.
That chalk line tip would cause some workers mind to melt….
Rain screen???
Bill Murray of course 😂
Circled Control Point is actually CCP. But, you probably don’t want that acronym used on your channel.
Move your belly when you're using that laser.
This is a troll comment... Mwahaha
