I was a trim carpenter for many years and I've never seen framing performed with the precision that these men do. I had a crew put up the trusses and sheath my house last year. When sighting down the ridge, it looked like a sin wave. Plum, level and square are only achieved accidentally! Accuracy is a myth around here. The Perkins Builder Brothers frame a home like they are building a cabinet. The most skill craftsmen I've ever seen.

[@Vesperwow]

for as long as you have the passion to make these videos, you will forever have a viewer in me. Absolutely a joy waiting for the videos every few days. Just as a thought if you ever feel tired or frustrated having to do editing, know you do an amazing job and thousands and thousands of us are so excited every week.

[@iansinclair7581]

All my best wishes to Arlo. I loved the programme when all the gang were boarding out Arlo’s new house. Arlo’s older house blew me away. I’m in the UK and there was style period called the arts and crafts movement. I don’t know if you have something similar in the US but I thought Arlo’s house was stunning. I think Arlo is a true craftsman and I hope he finds something to occupy his time.

[@dawnloya8523]

This makes me so happy!! Almost 3 hours absolutely watching it all!! Arlo’s smile at around 35 minutes leveling that wall just makes you smile 😀 happy retirement Arlo!!

[@cjjohnson2316]

And his legs are lookin' good too! 😅

[@cosmicking7979]

nothing will ever top the Mountain-Side Getaway Home video, that was an all timer

[@Orikix]

Happy birthday Arlo🎉 We love you🥰

[@fuhrab]

I LOVE the fact that you release these long-form mash-up/summary videos of your projects. I can't imagine how much time it takes you to do these but it's appreciated.

[@q_m_a_g_a]

not hard

[@bobcarry4820]

I have been watching your videos for a while. Is Arlo missed yet since he retired. He always seemed to have a good solution. I watched this build video by video and still enjoyed this one. Thank you and hope Arlo enjoys his retirement.

[@albertorozco5981]

There are no words that could describe how much I enjoy these guys build. Informative..entertaining...and awesome content all the way around. I look foward to every video they upload.

[@flyifri]

Thanks and thumbs up to one and all. Well Done.

[@TheMidwestWaterproofing]

these long-form complete-project videos are awesome. No wonder they get millions of views! 😜

[@vandittpatel]

A post-construction detailed inside and outside walkaround on your last day would be amazing to see in your videos. Not sure why you don't do that. At most, it should take 30 minutes.

[@BleepBlop-rh9lm]

Thank you for this long version. I love all your videos and watch them until the last second :)

[@AbbyOrton]

I grew up watching this old house with my dad and watching their videos gives me the same feeling. Thank you!

[@johnnicholls9023]

Hi guys I live watching you past projects I appreciate how much time it takes to put these videos together, but I do prefer these long ones love to work with u guys good team you got

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Hey thanks John!

[@OuryLN]

TRANSFORMERS! Perkins Bros in disguise! 🤖🦿🦾

[@brandonchristian8730]

The attention to detail y’all put into y’all’s work is incredible and inspiring! Learning a lot watching y’all’s channel

[@LowerFarmsRoad-rs5cl]

Love watching you guys! Your energy and the way you work so well together says something about you. Love it! And your knowledge is endless!

[@doreenfell9480]

You guys are incredible builders. You can see the chemistry between all the crew which makes for a good build. My knees go weak when I see you guys hanging over the side of a mountain and no safety ropes on.

[@danwall5058]

I’m nothing more than a mediocre DIYer myself, but your videos are my favourite on KZbin. I have watched every single episode and wait eagerly for the next one to be released. Keep up the good work team - this is good wholesome entertainment.

[@c.a.g.1977]

These full length build videos are really awesome! I watched all the episodes when you guys were working on this duplex, but watching the full build is great too!

[@faivelurrutia]

Wonderful video, it is a visual delight, construction from start to finish. Congratulations Perkins brothers and also to Jason, Arno, Ray and Jano. My greetings from Guatemala.

[@TheDirtyBirchTrails]

I have built houses for over 40 years. The easiest way to cut your crown moldings, is to just look up at the ceiling and think of it as a big picture frame. Easy peasy, no flipping and backwarding your trim and forgetting where you are !

[@mohsinyousif4976]

Hello guys My name is Mohsin and I am currently watching from sudan I have learned alot watching you guys since I first found your channel even though we don't do wood construction in Sudan but if end up in the us one day it will definitely come handy. Buy the way I have studied civil engineering in college and graduated in 2024 so thanks to all of you guys for the free lessons.

[@tnm121]

Get you a small ultrasonic cleaner to clean your paint guns Just drop them in with a little water based parts washer fluid and come back in 30 min and your done.

[@Dustin922]

We need an arlo video update asap 😃 so cool to see all the support

[@demodudes]

I always watch your series videos... But the entire build video is what I always look forward to!! I know it's a lot of work editing these videos... And I appreciate it!!

[@VLXVNDR]

Amazing build quality and attention to detail 👌🏼👌🏼 Arlo seems like the chillest guy. As a tiler I completely appreciate how square and true you make your walls and floors 👍🏼👍🏼 Big fan from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘 🐨🍻🥳

[@albertorozco5981]

Jasons moon walking " break dancing " was on spot.

[@jmalone2758]

Painting. I ran into the same problem. Those small testers are very hard to get mixed right. Sherwin Williams provides nearly a quart for a tester to elude this problem. So spend a few dollars more and get the right thing the 1st time. Worth it not having to deal with your current situation. Also, Lowes offers a program where you can upload the house and paint it to see if the color is what you really want.

[@alexsemion1851]

Wow I didn't even realized that this would be a long video. Only realized after an hour into it. Great job guys!

[@wxy336]

이분들은 정말 보기좋은 한팀이네요. 힘든 일도 즐겁게 하니깐 너무 보기 좋아요 ❤

[@mendanhikes]

seriously - watched all the episode and I am here again watching - lol / I'm a fan / cheers guys/

[@user-wc3gu4pd4z]

Love to see the progress videos for the finished house ❤

[@marymigliore3396]

That was a long video, but I remember it all ! Great job & a beautiful house !! I LOVE YOU ALL !! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@erichgrice4761]

Duststopper Pro Low-Profile Dust Separator for Shop Wet/Dry Vacuums. Includes High-Flow 90 Degree Sweep Elbows and Connection Hose. Fits Standard 5 Gallon Buckets, Made in USA It's awesome works inline with shop vac before it gets to your shop vac all the dust goes in the 5 gal bucket. Just a suggestion. Love yalls work guys.

[@MrShaneaggie08]

So far my favorite video. Great job guys.

[@joshuavanalst2365]

For all the body shop guys. That. Block sanding. Was spot on. 😂. That really did make the hole video more priceless

[@jobyjerrells7104]

Great video, you guys do quality work. Your videos remind me of the old Hometime videos with Dean. Being a DIY-er it is good to see some of the products we amateurs don't always know about and to get some pro-tips from time-to-time. I love the Big Stretch caulk, glad to see they're a sponsor. I don't use anything but Big Stretch for my projects.

[@jochenwuerfel]

I really love those videos, even though I watched all the episodes, I like have them running distracting me from boring tasks🔥

[@ernieforrest7218]

Nice job guys, especially nice job on the stairs.

[@NHWildlife]

Wouldn't it be great to see Arlo's GoFundMe hit $50K? It's almost there!

[@pashap3849]

so heartwarming too see so many people be so generous!

[@DrMJJr]

LETS GOOOOO!!!!! $50K HERE WE COME!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@shawnfelix3573]

What happened to arlo,s

[@NHWildlife]

@@shawnfelix3573 He is fine, he is just retiring.

[@guannnpenggg]

done! $50k for his retirement!

[@KimmiVlixx]

That 3 hours was worth watching. That's a good-looking home 🩵

[@tonybrigner3866]

the house looks awesome thanks guys for the video

[@joshuavanalst2365]

I have been watching you guys for years. And I’m not even subscribed. 😮. I’m so glad. You told me to check out your complete build videos. I’m most definitely subscribed now. Can’t wait for the next build video. I do like the longer videos.

[@Joeopinions]

KEEEEEP THESE VIDEOS UP!!!! LOVE YALL

[@KWilliamsBuilds]

Plans that have outside to center of interior walls are the best by far in my opinion. Embrace it and you will see how brilliant that is. There is never a mistake about which side of the wall you were meant to mark to. Then layout from that wall to the next is still the same dimension c to c as far side and away or nearside and back. By far the quickest for practical layout and fewer mistakes.

[@artfigures]

You guys rock. I wish you build houses in my area.

[@dave311281]

love watching these guys and always fast with putting out content, but its not enough i need more 🤣😂

[@yansensorong8063]

I really wanted to see the finishing part of the house, it's just a shame I didn't find it, whether the final stage of completion is shown or not I don't know but I hope to see it. Good job guys. Be healthy always. Greetings

[@tudiojepegii7198]

Watching from holland , nice team, nice to do the entire job!, you're artist preformer builder Heroes, good smiles! Tudio

[@TheDirtyBirchTrails]

Best channel on KZbin !!

[@freelifeproductions]

these full build videos make thousands on youtube.. great job man. :-) i realy enjoy the fullbuild videos

[@johnharman5440]

You guys are real pleasure to watch work funny quality workmanship

[@xMikeLynchx]

I have had that happen with the 5 gallon paint spout. I use a hammer and screwdriver on the edge to move the top.

[@yummboy2]

Well done!

[@ernieforrest7218]

Use a garden sprayer with water in it to lightly wet the floor at the walls just before you spray. It will keep dust from blowing on the paint. Most builders dont clean up after drywall as you did, and by wetting the floor the paint goes well.

[@williamboyd4916]

You should try modified truss head screws for the windows, don't have to worry about hitting the windows. I love your tool belt I'm still able to carry what i need and don't have all the weight of the bigger belts, thank you.

[@nrg_fre]

LETS GOOOOO Perkins Brothers MILLION SUBS OTW

[@cumitran]

That dental instrument is called a Stellite. They have plastic ones as well.

[@robertsanderson1773]

Hi guy fantastic video first of all. I love watching them. Some thing I think you'll like to know. The 6 panel interior door s with architrave, you said are 100 dollars over there. Are only 62 pounds in U.K. prices are so expensive over there guys. Anyway keep up the good work guys. Rob from UK.😊😊😊

[@steeltree-fabricatingandcu3796]

Use plastic automotive masking wrap, tape sticks really good to it it comes in allot of different widths too and it’s cheap We use it to cover the entire car, and cut out the part we are painting!

[@johncampbell6382]

Jay certainly loves his movie puns.😂🙏👍

[@olivermonk9077]

Really enjoyed the vid, but wanted to know how you'd decided to pack out the stairs - was niggling me - small detail, but there you go. Great job:)

[@michaelc.3812]

Pro tip: when you need to make a groove in a lock insert, use a small profile multi-function tool blade and it works like a charm (and quick)!!

[@WondersWoodworking]

Good job

[@BuiltByJalal]

The fact that your brother knows everyone in the store is hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@norsangkelsang7939]

oak stairs.... boiled linseed - let dry 48 hrs.... then minwax wipe on polly... 2-3 coats with a rag.

[@user-rd5ou5ng7u]

I got a little trick for you if you put tape down like a piece of blue tape down on your trim first add all the trim nails on the blue tape then putty each hole that you just made in the tape wipe it smooth pull the tape voila no sanding all the putty spots and all that crap anymore good luck❤

[@haesge61]

In Germany we call it Richtfest. A great old custom!

[@KaneWystell]

“You look like a real construction worker today!” “I feel like an idiot” 😂😂😂😂

[@kevinz8867]

I use a shop vac to 'dig' holes at my house when doing yard work. My house is built on a granite slab, so I just use a pick and my vac. I end up with all this broken up granite rock I can use in planters or whatever.

[@petersheridan2993]

I would like to see you build a house in the UK. Sadly planners consider wood frame builds as Gaeden sheds.

[@dannyhartline2648]

Just had that flooring installed in my bathrooms during handicapped remodel and it is all it’s cracked up to be! Next is to install throughout my house …

[@BCS2023]

I see you used “all-purpose” flour to start the footings. That’s a rookie move. If you’ll use “self-rising” flour, the house builds it self.

[@Al-sq5ti]

Unbleached only

[@nrg_fre]

This was a great video more work less starting and ending

[@ShellymanStudios]

Happy Friday!!

[@KindCreature1]

LOL on the filling the bucket with water gag!

[@caveweta]

Almost $50k for Arlo, what a legend! We’ll miss you Arlo.

[@sheldon8115]

😂 the swiping got me.

[@HeavyCoolDM]

OMG that was fun to watch and strangely enough you learn so many things for your own home in Europe. Keep it up, I find this very zen watching and laugh my ass off at the jokes. Do you also do houses that are built entirely with stone? By the way, my compliments for the editing work on the films, which must have taken a lot of time. Greetings from rainy Holland (near Port of Rotterdam)😎🤓

[@mikebrockman5986]

That moonwalk was clutch...

[@ModernCowboy78]

This is my favorite show on any platform!

[@mumuetjm]

Bonjour à toute l'équipe depuis la France Vous faites de magnifiques maisons C'est un réel plaisir de vous suivre Pourriez vous mettre les sous titres en français ? Amicalement......

[@johnhintermaier7651]

Unique way for labor saving on the "Hip Roof" with 2 X 4 on flat to lay on the common trusses. Previous comment from @wallypoly563. In the '60s and the '70s, the crews I worked on did precision framing. We would accept nothing less because the visual is what the customer remembers. All the finish carpentry is so much easier as well. Keep quality in the trade!

[@LordoftheCats]

Always enjoy watching your vids and learning something new every time I do. One thing I think a lot of folks perhaps don't appreciate is how many tools you guys have and the enormous amount of investment it takes to acquire, maintain, and store them.

[@brendaryan306]

Arlo is back!

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Haha… back from the past :-)

[@JIVETURKEY600]

Good Video guys.

[@mikebrockman5986]

Jaime, we're on the upstairs now😆

[@ernieforrest7218]

With the way you guys like tools, you should be looking into a power tie wire twisting tool as opposed to the old hand tool. lol

[@standriscoll4649]

Your strap on the down spout is backward. First, install the strap on the building. Then, wrap each end of the strap around to the front and attach them. Much cleaner look.

[@IMJUSTBILLUNO]

You guys do some great work. No shortcuts , done correctly, and in a timely manner. Any homeowner would be glad that they had you as their builder. Very professional. Continued much success. 👍🏻🙏🏼🔨🪚🧱

[@whoisbriannab]

Whoa!!! Ray with a short beard!!!!

[@philomenahearn1717]

Did e have to “trim” it because of getting all that caulk in it?

[@teddysponsler6220]

Got a question, why don't y'all paint it before installing it ? I've done this before and and came out perfect.

[@milesharlan1]

A little Friday afternoon fun with the entire building of the duplex!! Thanks guys!! KUTGW

[@DrTubeman]

@ 2:06:26 the crew each giving Arlo a hug when he returned from being on a break shows the love you guys have for each other it seems even more meaningful now with Arlo retiring. I know Arlo is going to be really missed by the viewers, but for the Perkins crew not having Arlo on your crew anymore will mean something much deeper...

[@michaelc.3812]

Sparky comment from a master electrician: you struggled, as most teams struggle, to cut that hole to match the overhead porch light. The best and fastest method would be to measure as close as you can (I use a stick rather than a tape) and then remove the box BEFORE raising that sheet. Once the sheet is secured, pull the wire down and screw the box up to the rafter/joist.save a LOT of hassle and wear-and-tear on your arms.

[@skunkhome]

Gosh those stairs can be a real puzzler. I can’t tell the number of stairways I’ve tripped on the last step because of a miscalculation.

[@holbroak]

Party when the roof framing is up: "Richtfest" in Germany. Someone has to nail a small tree to the rafters and recite some self-composed bad (hopefully funny) poetry. Beer then.

[@craigbrooks6469]

your fire walls . we sort of do the same here in New Zealand. but we use a product called weatherline. or a james hardi product too. my question is how do you remove the black plastic? as that I'd flammable so doesn't seem it's the best idea to use?? about from that love the content you guys put together
