Your attention to using the best materials and the best building techniques is second to none. And your mind is continually working on evolving to ever better levels of excellence.

[@GTL77]

The classic Jimmy Diresta saying (if it looks straight it is straight) I’ve been following you since you built his dream shop

[@SuperFastmover]

videographer is a magician in post production and filming...WOW!

[@para-cad_llc]

Damn Kyle.......you are a professor of construction. Every important detail was clearly explained / defined and shown. And you both make it entertaining. Always great content. Thanks!

[@jamesfischer5389]

QUALITY SELLS ITSELF ALL DAY LONG!!! Outstanding Job, and Great Video! 🇺🇸

[@mikenicholson2548]

Kyle, it was awesome to see the real owner and boss on the job. 🤣🤣

[@davel2223]

Kyle, you've outdone yourself on this build, absolutely fantastic great work for you and Greg.

[@jerrypoyer93]

WOW! I love the BLACK. I built my own 12,000 SQFT pole building 30 years ago and sure wish I would have had your videos back then. Mine are still working good but your details are something to be proud of.

[@zfilmmaker]

I always love watching Kyle, his relentless attention to detail is amazing even in areas the customer will never see. He always uses cutting edge building methods and materials. I’ve always been jealous I don’t live in his territory. I’ve had six big shops done mainly through the same builder and they do an awesome job but they are not RR quality. Kyle exceeds whatever standards are set by the industry, that’s evident just from looking at his work.

[@robertnorris1808]

The two of you should be patting yourselves on the back with each part of this build because it is awesome. Hopefully you will throw a big party at the completion for every last person that put in their skills to your shop.Stay safe and can wait to see this outside done so you can get to work with the inside.

[@jameslambert4487]

Your attention to detail is amazing. This building is extremely well built. Your great-great grand kids will show this building to their grand kids. It will still be standing firm.

[@doorjumper2549]

It looks so clean, I love the shadow lines.

[@jjtrades7186]

its refreshing to see how thoroughly you two build this thing, being knowledgeable about manufacturer specifications and then actually installing the products according to them rather than just cutting things and banging them up

[@Clsc_song1910]

It's beautiful. Very detailed. Real pro! I'd like this done to my house. Nothing like this in the neighborhood. Fantastic!

[@couldabin]

I hope you realise that when potential customers see R&R HQ 2.0, you'll have more business than you know what to do with! Excellent work Kyle and Greg.

[@CharlieMoDank14]

Nice work. I like the multi layers you his do all the time. Once and done

[@ScottyLo]

Love the look of the black siding

[@davideisman6243]

RR HQ is looking amazing! Love the channel, the professionalism, and the attention to detail! 🍻

[@rickallen9382]

Hands on experience with a perfect dad. Cant beat that

[@darrenberry3456]

Your building is looking great. Nice touch with the ceder shack upper on the front .

[@robbjerls2252]

Wow, that’s looking amazing. You guys are doing a great job and really good content to go along. Thank you.

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

5/4 refers to the dimension of natural wood when cut green. After second cut or planing it's 1" (and sometimes a bit, as it can vary from mill to mill). It seems that manufacturers of composite materials have adopted that basic measurement to describe the final thickness, so as to ease visualisation of the dimensions of planed natural wood and composite wood products equallly.

[@joebinion1]

First time seeing black siding,wow great choice,man that looks great,GOD BLESS

[@zephyr1408]

I seen that little show where you were interviewed by? Anyway beautiful little family ! I remember that ! Great looking building enjoy!

[@uwewilling6618]

Kyle, this is absolutely fantastic work from you and Greg it looks stunningly good

[@ethanorians]

Seeing more and more of this, I got a chance to design a timber frame home with black exterior and I was drooling myself while working on the drawings.

[@mikeinmaryland]

Kyle and Greg. I really like the way you strain the details.

[@JustMe-pc2ii]

That looks awesome.Great attention to detail and explanation.

[@farkenmayhem6951]

Looks amazing, great job. It'll be a real show piece of your work when its all done.

[@feriluc]

Whoa! I was not expecting full goth. Awesome!!

[@timmernator1]

Big Stretch is the best caulk ever...did some farmhouse window frame trims outta cedar years ago after installing new vinyl windows in my 1st home...similar to you...All 5/4 cedar glued with titebond waterproof glue and pocket screwed them together..one coat of Zinzer shellac based primer, then a coat of alkyd primer and lightly sanded them...caulked them in with Big Stretch...two coats of Finish paint...went back to the house 20 years later...never repainted in 20 years...trim still looked good...no cracks in the joints or the caulking...I was amazed You could have used that 'shadow line' from the soffit for that angle tool too...also caught the 'baccer' rod comment...lol...get one of those expansion joint guys to do those joints like they do on a commercial building...they got the good stuff...looking good bro...Nobody will be leaning on that siding in the sun during the summer...Cant wait to see the gray

[@WcHoward2]

When you have 5/4, it is the “rough cut” when you plain it down you remove some of the surface to make it smooth. This thins it down to the finish thickness.

[@RRBuildings]

This doesn’t get planed down… it’s manufactured

[@medicallyunexplainedsymptoms]

@@RRBuildings Ah, but if everything else marked as 5/4 is actually finished to 1", it makes sense to not confuse too many folks who are expecting something marked as 5/4 to be 1" 🙂

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I guess it’s a good thing you didn’t have the trim when you done this since you had to bring the bottom of the garage header down 1”! That would have been a little more complicated with the trim already up. The garage doors look great! I don’t know if you get hail up there where you are, but Oklahoma, I just had a couple of hail storms hit and I was getting a little worried my windows might get broken! The first night had some pretty big hail hitting me! I sure wouldn’t have wanted to be outside!

[@EdwardTilley]

Looks great guys! Great video and construction detail / training also! Love it.

[@MOONRAK3R23]

Black on Black does look awesome. But i wonder what the Grey would’ve looked like for the trims and corners

[@bwlyon]

They blue is disappearing. I thought of the blue as a memorial to Blue from the movie Old School. You’re my boy Blue! 😂

[@FacilitiesManager-dh8iq]

Another work of excellence by you 2

[@AngelLuisTrinidad]

It's looking beautiful. Can't way to see the next color.

[@andrewcarr2431]

Excellent work and explanations of the various processes. personally, it's all a little too dark for me, perhaps it may contrast better in person? But it's your building, so you do whatever you like! However my wife loved it,

[@gordonx145]

he got what every man wants... his wifes approval :)

[@user990077]

Five quarter is saw mill size. Once dried it gets milled down to one inch. Same with 4 quarter. Dried at 1 inch and milled down to 3/4 inch.

[@zfilmmaker]

I’ve done all my newer farm buildings like this with board and batten painted black… everybody always comments how awesome they look. Only difference is, mine are done with Accoya wood. LP would have been significantly cheaper and if I do another building I’ll probably go that route.

[@willb3018]

That black B&B looks great. Always liked B&B but have never seen black.

[@georgehardy8165]

Hi Kyle Wow it looks awesome brother, great work as always...!, from your friends here in Lima Peru George and Carmen

[@stevenwarner7348]

Geeze there Kyle, Do ya think Greg coulda found the black nails over there at Lowes? Yea, The black nails. Shoulda had gotten the black nails. I'm tellin ya there Kyle ~ it's in the details. And I hope you took up my suggestion for the R&R Club on weekends. Maybe even live music, Jazz maybe. So much oh so cool space. Connect with a local brewery. Just a few "I.P." selections. Just Friday and Saturday nites. Course you'd have to have one of those mirror balls and special lights. Everybody in the neighborhood would love it. But Kyle ~ Shhhhh~ Don't tell the wife. Secret. Just between you and Greg. Good recovery on the nails Greg. Wow. This place is from another planet! Whoo Weee! ~ The lighting for the R&R Club. ~. Whoosh! 💥👍💥

[@domenickm1966]

Thanks, you show the detail that LP didnt with the trim and caps

[@rickbudrow2230]

If it looks straight it is straight is a quote by your buddy Diresta. I remember him saying that when you guys built his shop.

[@MrRadtech22]

Gorgeous building!

[@overwatch2671]

Kyle, Greg That black siding looks great. Good job guys

[@paulhurst2689]

Looking awesome guys. Wife's approval said it all.💥💯💥💯👍👍👍👍👍

[@Vanweezy_67]

[@Schrankadank1]

Stop showing off by 2 gunnin the new Paslode coil nailer lol. Building looks great. Loving this series

[@bjorn_moren]

Very cool with the shingled look up high on the wall.

[@lydia535]

Great attention to detail❤️

[@alanlawz]

This is going to be one beautiful looking building.

[@davidwells298]

Kyle kick it up a notch do a awning roof over the garage doors with timber frame knee braces!!

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

looks amazing ...i wonder what it would look like if you did it all in that stone....?

[@herbpantaleon7485]

Love it! Very manly looking! Good job!

[@mlj6419]

Wow, what a look! Love it.

[@sparky11772]

Awesome framers of course! Looks great!

[@joeweekley5964]

Awesome looking building!

[@bobflores]

The immortal words from Jimmy Diresta, "If it looks straight, it is straight."

[@iamtruesyn]

Everyone needs a good blower like Greg. Glad the wifey liked it! Great stuff.

[@giopadilla]

Good to see the “REAL” customer give you the seal of approval

[@NewEndProductions]

those prefab corners are so expensive. i decided to build out my own. i haven't did it yet but i hope it turns out nice.

[@tj_poepoe]

Looks great! Love the black

[@carlfowlkes654]

Absolutely an impressive build 👌 👍

[@lokigames5091]

I love installing smart side it is a beautiful product. Y'all do verry nice work 🤌

[@ecuadordave8076]

You may have it somewhere already but I dont recall seeing. It would be nice to show a materials list for a project thinking of the RRHQ. (not worried about quantities as its obviously different. ) side note I am in florida and for some reason have not found LP Weather logic suppliers. HD claims on google but not on the website. .

*Video Summary: Installing Smart Side Siding* * *Project:* Installing black board and batten Smart Side siding on a large building with multiple wings. (0:00) * *Goal:* Complete the black siding on the north wing of the building in this video. (12:12) * *Key Details:* * Smart Side siding is 16 feet long and requires breaks at wall plate lines for movement in traditional stick framing. Since this is a post frame/balloon frame, full length pieces can be used. (14:44) * The siding is installed over weather logic for drainage. (27:26) * A 3/8" spacer is used between the siding boards and above flashing. (5:48, 17:28) * Pre-assembled Smart Side trim is used for windows and doors with butt joints instead of mitered corners due to the movement of the siding material. (28:56) * Special head flashing is installed above windows and doors to protect the horizontal trim from moisture damage. (27:31, 41:56) * A belly band board is installed at the top of the lower section of siding to break up the wall and allow for proper flashing. (15:34) * LP Smart Side shakes are used for the gable ends. (43:48) * *Next Steps:* The next video will cover installing the Cory gray siding on the remaining sections of the building. (47:59) *Video-Zusammenfassung (in Deutsch): Installation von Smart Side Verkleidung* * *Projekt:* Installation von schwarzer Smart Side Verkleidung in Stülpschalungsoptik an einem großen Gebäude mit mehreren Flügeln. (0:00) * *Ziel:* In diesem Video die schwarze Verkleidung des Nordflügels des Gebäudes fertigstellen. (12:12) * *Wichtige Details:* * Smart Side Verkleidung ist 16 Fuß lang und erfordert Brüche an den Wandplattenlinien, um Bewegungen in traditionellen Ständerbauten zu ermöglichen. Da es sich um einen Pfostenbau/Balloon-Frame handelt, können durchgehende Stücke verwendet werden. (14:44) * Die Verkleidung wird über Weather Logic zur Entwässerung installiert. (27:26) * Zwischen den Verkleidungsplatten und über der Blechverwahrung wird ein Abstandhalter von 3/8" verwendet. (5:48, 17:28) * Für Fenster und Türen werden vormontierte Smart Side Leisten mit stumpfen Stößen anstelle von Gehrungsecken verwendet, da die Verkleidungselemente arbeiten. (28:56) * Über Fenstern und Türen wird eine spezielle Blechverwahrung installiert, um die horizontale Leiste vor Feuchtigkeitsschäden zu schützen. (27:31, 41:56) * Am oberen Ende des unteren Verkleidungsabschnitts wird eine Bauchbinde angebracht, um die Wand aufzulockern und eine ordnungsgemäße *Blechverwahrung* zu ermöglichen. (15:34) * Für die Giebelenden werden LP Smart Side Schindeln verwendet. (43:48) * *Nächste Schritte:* Im nächsten Video wird die Installation der Cory-Grau-Verkleidung an den restlichen Gebäudeteilen behandelt. (47:59) i used gemini 1.5 pro (2024-05-16)

[@se7enity648]

A total black building is such a courageous decision.

[@LeeBreece]

@ Michael, great work! When you edit these can you make the saw/drill/machine sounds quieter? Find myself keeping the volume up to hear Kyle explain something or catch all of the banter and then down the line you get smacked in the face with a really loud saw or something. Maybe leveling the audio using levelator or something prior to the full edit would help but in general still think the machine sounds should be on the lower side anyway. Thanks! Great work with these videos!

[@BWIL2515]

Man have you guys ever thought about doing this for a living y'all are awesome framers really essential craftsman I got nothing for Perkins great looking building

[@FredMcIntyre]

Looks awesome Kyle! 😃👍🏼👊🏼 .... Jimmy!

[@thepaintprofessor]

It's because those are the rough sawn measurements and then they kiln dry the wood. It loses about 1/4 inch. Ergo, 5/4 nominal = 1" net.

[@jtt1989]

"If it's looks straight, it is straight" Jimmy Diresta

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Better watch out, Jimmy trade marks that phrase and he'll want a cut of ad revenue!

[@khass110]

Re seeing your pencil marks on the black siding, check out white or yellow leads for your Pica-Dry pencil. They're a little more brittle than the regular graphite ones, but with a lighter touch, they work fine, and can be easily seen on dark material. They also have a red lead, but I've never found a use case where white or yellow (or graphite) wasn't a better choice.

[@indman101]

Not sure painted osb board will last long but looks good.

[@fishingmedic1]

Kyle, this look is sick man 👍🙌

[@Dragonited]

You need a white marker pen so that you can see the line on the black siding. I believe that Milwuakee has one that is an Inkzall that comes in both white or yellow to mark on dark materials.

[@BrianQuinton-l1e]

Absolutely looking great 👍

[@bobme2787]

The building looks great

[@dfronk1572]

4 quarter is a rough sawn measurement. After the milling process is will become thinner making it a 3/4 final measurement.

[@NASTYcraftX]

I know you are way further ahead, but cedar shake would go so nice with the black and white. It looks amazing as is of course.

[@onetruesoldiervt3686]

Hi that’s vinyle looks very clean

[@brianherald5756]

That gun is awesome you don’t even need to go into studs

[@westonreynolds1532]

Curious to see how you finished the outside corners of the garage door. You showed the top trim but didn’t show how you finished the sides. Wondering if you used an lp corner or just butted them together?

[@ebros3]

I did the same pattern, board batten sidewalls, lap gables

[@crabkilla]

No air gap behind the siding?

[@geraldmacqueen1801]

Looks awesome, Kyle!

[@johnscott2076]

So is really is good enough for the girls you run with, glad for the confirmation 😅

[@tonynewton7902]

Amazing work as always guys. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You guys are in long pants, long shirts, then jackets, then shorts and t-shirts. Glad we are not the only ones with Sybil for weather...

[@howarddees6963]

Looks great!

[@teebugg66]

I love the look, but I’m in Florida, you could cook eggs on that siding in august, I’d think the ac wouldn’t be able to keep up with that much wall heat.

[@zephyr1408]

You know your going to hv massive request for that building ? I call it the “ The complexity of Darkness” !

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

Is this stuff basically like T1-11 siding? I’m not sure why they did really good metal roofing but went with plywood siding.

[@RRBuildings]

This is not t1-11

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

⁠I know it’s not exactly T1-11 but it’s the only thing I know to compare it to. I read this on their site, it sounds like next-gen T1-11 basically. T1-11 is bonded with a glue adhesive, SmartSide uses treated wood strands combined with waxes, zinc borate and advanced binders”

[@drumswest5035]

That will be one hot house in the summer with all that black!

[@allthingsgrowing]

like Risinger says. its not about keeping water out, its about letting it out.

[@Z-Bart]

I've always liked board and batten siding.
