Yes, that was a whitetail deer! Did you see it?
Oh yeah! Not often does dinner bring itself to the jobsite 🤣🤣
@@MrTheBurkes You got that right! Steaks on the grill 🥩 👨🍳
@@TheExcellentLaborerCan I go over existing plywood that already on the ceiling porch, or do I need to install strips.
just got back from a vacation and catching up on your awesome videos!!!! You are Excellent
Thanks Thor! I hope your vacation went well! Welcome back man!!
That was simple, straight to the point and really easy to understand for a newbie like me. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you Gilles. I appreciate your comment! Stay tuned!
Great channel, Josh! I am really enjoying your videos. You do great work and explain things very well.
Thanks Mike! I appreciate you taking your time to make this comment!
When doing j/e blocks can also use a small piece of scrap, set it in as you would a full peice and just mark your heights/widths around them and same for windows/doors ect
Great video Josh! I feel I could tackle some siding if I had to! Thanks!!!
Great video. I am building a house right now and getting ready to start siding and trim on the outside. For the porch ceiling and soffits around the house I am using white vinyl soffit panels. I am trying to figure out easiest way to wrap the exposed wood beams around the porch and what pieces of vinyl should I use to do that ? two L shaped pieces or basically fascia trim with one on each side of beam and flat stock vinyl supported by the leg of the L pieces ?
I love this content, awesome vid!
Thanks CrankkDatJFel! I appreciate your comment!
Saludos bendiciones gracias x compartir excelentes videos. Muchos calurosos abrazos a la familia desde indianapolis Indiana 🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹
Thanks!
Looks easy
Yes! Not bad at all Victor!
What material is best to use to trim out the underside of the beam that runs under the front of the porch, where the columns are?
Looks Nice
Thank you!
Thank you for another great video! The J channel at the bottom is used to hide the gap created to match the height of the other corner siding? If the height is very different, can be used only the j channel without the starter strip?
i love your videos. i'm getting ready to start siding my garage on the driveway side. when installing the horizontal j channel against the concrete do you drill weep holes in it? Also when installing the bottom j channel into the vertical j channel of a door do you have a tab on the vertical j channel that sits in the horizontal channel or do you cut all of these joints flush to allow water to drain out of the channel onto the concrete? thank you for your help and keep up the great videos.
Hi Josh,
I've watched your vinyl siding series but didn't see how to start siding where the wall meets a roof. Is it the same as starting on a deck with J channel and starter strip?
Thanks
Would I put a J channel where the vinyl and wainscot meet?
Thank you.
Hi Josh, great videos. I am installing beadboard soffit ceiling (Certanteed beaded T2"). Can you explain how to secure the last (ripped) piece in j-channel? Thanks! Hugh
Hi Great video. What is the type of channel on the edge of the ceiling? F or J? I am installing Certainteed Insulated Board and Batten siding on the ceiling of my houseboat. No siding on the walls jut ceiling.
Great videos! Can I ask the manufacturer and color of your siding? Looks great!
Color is Castle Stone. Carolina Beaded is the design. Certainteed is the brand. Thanks!
How do you snap the first row of siding into the starter strip if it down in the j channel?
You explain much better than my math teacher in middle school.
Thank you for sharing this important information to me.
Just a question: could I use screws at the ceiling, instead nails, or is a rule to use nails?
Thank you again.
Thanks a lot Gyurka777! You could use screws so yes! I’m glad you are enjoying my videos. Stay tuned!
Josh!! You’re the man. Always follow your videos.
I have a question on cantilever siding corners. What trim pieces should be used? Is it a starter strip on every side of the cantilever dropped a half an inch past the bottom?
In a situation as a deck, when jchannel is installed I don’t find it necessary to install starter strip! Just a personal preference
I’m running siding before building a deck, and concerned with draining water draining properly. By dumb luck my siding can start exactly at the deck boards, no J channel necessary for looks. Is it still necessary for water proofing?
Josh, Do you need Utility strip or J Channel around New Construction windows? Or do you just have the siding go right up to the channel of the window? If not mistaking I think you will at least need it at the top and bottom.
Most new construction windows have J channel build on them and I just use utility trim under the window. Hope that helps!
Can you give a tutorial on how to do cement fiber siding
I could in the future. I’m not sure when though.
Do you have a Vinyl video on going around windows? We saw someone's video for windows, but not sure what brand they were using. It had foam in it. I haven't watched this one of yours yet.. we'll watch it tonight.
I have not done any videos for vinyl siding around windows. I’m sure I’ll get to it eventually. Stay tuned!
What if the gap at the top of the deck is larger than the height of the j channel? I'm going to be using double 4 inch siding. So the gap could be anywhere from no gap to up to 7 15/16 inches.
Can we use screws instead of nails on the ceiling soffit?
Hi Josh! Do you use a nail gun instead of a hammer? Is that good to nail for vinyl siding?
Thanks!👍👏
Hammer only. Nail guns will not work. Hope that helps!
We use flashing below the vinyl to kick water past the ledger board. It’s code here.
Can you show how install exterior window casings for siding
I could in the future just not sure when. Subscribe and ring the bell!
Do you do the ceiling first before the walls or vice versa or it doesn't matter ?
You can do either one first. Are usually do the ceilings first though. I do that because you got to install the J channel for the soffit first anyways. Hope that helps!
Do you happen to have a link on where can I purchase this white soffit for the porch ceiling I went on the website but I can’t seem to find it.
I'm here!
Hey Austin!
@@TheExcellentLaborer
Hey, Josh! Great video!
Thanks Austin! I hope your project has been going well. It has been hot in my area!
@@TheExcellentLaborer slow, but steady. Got up to a "feels like" of 99⁰ in middle Georgia.
Do you have a video on how to trim a stick of J-channel to butt into the next stick on long runs? Always trying to learn!
@@MrTheBurkes yes! At 11:41 in this video link! th-cam.com/video/FYWcDfZeH_4/w-d-xo.html
I had a jog that didn't come close enough for this technique. It was right in the middle of a "board" on my double dutch lap. I ended up using the channel that is for doing the cuts under windows all along the bottom. There was one with two slots available for my siding, so it works if you are in the shallow or deep part of the siding. But I had to use this instead of starter strip. I marked where the first piece would hit and then cut the siding to match that height, made the tabs in the cut side and it snapped in firmly with the tabs. I had J channel on the bottom but it was too loose and flappy with J channel and the starter strip didn't allow a good way to tuck the top of the half piece in. Maybe we need another video on what to do if your porch is not conveniently located to use j channel at the bottom?
In that case you would use J channel around the bottom and rip the siding down to size and it will act as the starter strip. I hope that helps!
Siding is fairly easy to install,but the cheap aluminum siding nails bend very easily. I used left over roofing nails to hang my siding on my screened porch.
When they nail the siding on back porch are nails suppose to be sticking out on the inside of porch?
Meant to say are nails suppose to be exposed on the inside of the porch
No one seems to have a video of replacing siding around a large obstacle like tankless heater mounted on the wall
What is an E block?
what the make and model number for the ceiling siding you used? Where can we get it from?
thanks
Its on the box in the video - certainteed 4921601
Where you can buy it will depend on where you are in the US.
couldn't you just place the first run in the j without the starter?
In this case I was debating about it, I usually have to use J channel because it doesn’t break that well. So in this demonstration I probably could have went without it. But I wanted to show people that it is typically something you have to do. Good question!
@@TheExcellentLaborer I am siding my house currently, The porch is concrete and I don't have enough room for a starter so I will use the J at the bottom Thank you for your videos and responses
In some cases , you'll need to put undersill trim upside down in the j trim to slide the sharp edge of the siding into if you have to rip it. Makes a very straight bottom edge.
why bother with the starter strip? why not rip the bottom off the siding to match the slope
