Thanks so much for posting this..I'm putting siding on my shed and learning as I go.. Got to this part yesterday and cut my first piece really short... Say opps. So after watching you.. I can finish that sucker up today.. Thanks again.
Excellent production quality. You were able to complete all of this in one day WHILE FILMING IT! I noticed you and your guys never changed your flannel shirts lol But seriously, I learned a lot from watching this series and I plan to re-watch a few times to really absorb everything.
Thanks for these informative videos. I have watched the 6 part series since I am having a rental property sided in the near future and now understand better how the siding is installed.
I can tell u once u get to using full pieces end to end in a gable it's always much easier to measure ur next piece off of the lip of the piece u jus cut while still on the ground. Measuring a 12' piece off of one ladder in the middle isn't always the easiest thing to do. As long as you've properly found ur angle u can actually cut every piece going to the top before ever stepping back on the ladder. Excellent instruction tho. That's not always easy to find on TH-cam
I can't imagine a utility strip would work at the top of the window since the vinyl orientation won't let you snap into it if the strip is upside down.
Terrible video! He tells you how to cut the angles...IF YOU KNOW THE PITCH. What if you don't know what the pitch is or what if you don't have a 12/2 pitch that equals a 45 degree angle? I happen to know these things but if I didn't know what the pitch was or if my pitch provided a different angle than a straight 45?????????
To cut the angles you can snap in a scrap piece of siding (about 3-4 ft long) in the first (gable) row and slide it to one side until it touches the Jtrim. Then take another scrap piece and place it upside down against the soffit, following the angle of the roof and hold it over the horizontal scrap piece. Trace the angle onto the horizontal piece and cut. Use this piece as a template to mark all your gable angle cuts. Sometimes you need to adjust the angle slightly by eye on longer rakes that are sagging. Making a template takes only a couple minutes, but saves loads of time. If you cut with a grinder, simply put your template in place and cut a along the edge (no marking required).
If you don't know the pitch of your roof, measure it, no need to give this guy a hard time. It's not rocket science!!!!! Once you know your pitch of your roof use your speed square to make your lines and voilà you have a perfect cut.There's other ways of making that cut without a speed square if you don't have one or can't afford one so just Google it.
@@nightmusic1one27 so i guess where your from gravity does not exist indoors? 1st ask what a hard hat is for. 2nd ask where they're required at 3rd climb a tall tree and jump out of it. Step 3 is important
This complete series is by far one of the most well explained home improvement series I have ever seen. Excellent job.

Andy Dwyer show how to install siding.
Thanks for these informative videos. I have watched the 6 part series since I am having a rental property sided in the near future and now understand better how the siding is installed.
excellent teaching skills, thanks for the lesson
On that 90.5" cut, don't we need a little play on each side to support expansion and contraction of the material?
Yes, on every piece you install.

What about measuring for expansion and contraction...summer and winter etc
The trim edges covers the expansion
Why no drip cap over the window?
“Uhhhh”
Ahhh
How do you know it’s an exact 45 degree angle just by knowing the pitch?
The pitch is 12/12, 12" rise 12" run therefore 45 degree angle.
Do you use a utility strip at the top of the window?
I can't imagine a utility strip would work at the top of the window since the vinyl orientation won't let you snap into it if the strip is upside down.
How do you nail vinyl into the gable end given a lack of studs?
Nailed into the plywood not the stud.
i like to caulk the back of the locking flange on the last piece of siding on gable. great videos though
How is diabetes caused?

I'm thinking the same thing. Wasted my time watching this because I thought he would cover at the end. Thumbs down for that!
@@stevewetzel7457 May be late but you need to measure the pitch or your roof and then use a speed square with the common pitch and Mark that angle.

You failed geometry in school, didn't you? smh

Vinyl siding tool is $6.00 @ Lowe’s. Worth every penny.
แันชอบมันนะ I like it
Why are u wearing a hard hat indoors...lol
Safety 101 he's surrounded by an indoors construction site
@@wizzlet6821 video didn’t mention that...no it’s not assumed
@@nightmusic1one27 so i guess where your from gravity does not exist indoors?
1st ask what a hard hat is for.
2nd ask where they're required at
3rd climb a tall tree and jump out of it.
Step 3 is important
@@joebidden5347 Yes gravity exists but you have to be an idiot to drop stuff on ur head...I bet you jump out of trees with ur hard hat on....good job.
It’s his sons all jokes ur videos gd bro lol
You don't need to ever know the pitch to lay out the gable cuts
I guess they decided to skip talking about the rest of the walls (non gable) that will need utility strips
Don't post videos if you're not going to answer questions.
