Building a Work Shop: Installing House Wrap and Metal Siding

[@jwo412]

Yo bro my son is 3 and loves to watch your videos. He always says before bed “can we watch Kyle?” His fav is when you lift walls with the Kubota...then after he watches he grabs his tools and starts pretending to build stuff. Just wanted to share that! Thanks for being a positive role model

[@RRBuildings]

That’s the best comment I’ve had James thanks

[@kevinhornbuckle]

That stem wall-to-base trim section view is the real money shot. Everything about that speaks to detail indicating longevity of the structure and overall quality of construction.

[@RRBuildings]

Thanks Kevin

[@liqing5046]

It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

[@thecarolinacraftsman4120]

Guys, you all do a fantastic job. Everything is detailed to the hilt. I have been in the business for nearly 45 years and have seen it all and heard all the excuses. You guys make no excuses, You simply make it happen, come sun, rain or snow, I love to watch you work because for once I believe I am watching someone who has the same work ethic my recent passed 97 year old grandpa instilled in me from 5 years of age. Keep up the good work and keep bringing good tool ideas and videos to our attention I'm in the market for some Festool sanders and etc. Glad to see you preview their track saw the other day! I had some of the same concerns as you! I'm forvever a fan!!

[@RRBuildings]

Thanks woody

[@thecarolinacraftsman4120]

RR Buildings. No, THANK YOU!! And if you ever need a veteran 54 year young builder come give you a hand on a big job, let me know. I’d love to come tag along and learn from you a little. Hit me up on Woody Scarboro home improvement on Facebook

[@sethcotterman7446]

RR Buildings how do you joint or overlap your F&J trim if you have a roof run say 25’?

[@randyfarmer1107]

We used to punch our steel with a pneumatic nail gun. We had a local guy weld a rod extension onto the driving pin. It worked great.

[@ddforrester]

Randy Farmer - I, like most, have an assortment on under-used old pneumatics laying around. Do you recall what gauge of nailer you had modified? My guess is 16 gauge...

[@randyfarmer1107]

@@ddforrester I think it was an old roofing nailer but I imagine anything would work.

[@TedPollard]

good idea

Amazes me the system you guys have worked out to make all your ribs line up and your trims straight and nice. Beautiful product you guys produce kyle.

[@billsheffield4572]

99.7 of 100 builders would not have notched that piece of wood to go over where the concrete was a little long on the corner. It's that kind of thing that impresses me so much about your building techniques.

Kyle I have worked in the heat of an aluminum smelter & in the cold & the snow! So I know how it is! You guys get it done no matter what! Excellent progress on the work shop! Looking forward to the next video!

[@augustreil]

Perfect video ! It's great to see the building wrap put on tight like a hotel bed sheet !

[@mostlyinterested1016]

It's an awl, Kyle, not an AWL. It was historically a cobbler's tool for punching holes in leather. Love your channel. Always informative and light-hearted. Still surprised that Greg hasn't had a meltdown with you but that's the sure sign of a lasting friendship.

[@shawnmazurk3816]

I’m constantly amazed as to the skill you guys have. Experience you can see. 🤙

[@donriddle8393]

Great how to video especially for someone like me who has never attempted this. Thank You.

Man, I have learned so much from you on how to build. and yes you are getting better with your video production.. love the stand still drone shot.

[@davidross1210]

Your attention to quality and the materials, tools and techniques that build in that quality reminds me of Tom Silva, I could watch both of you work all...craftsman both!

[@MitzvosGolem1]

MBCI supplies alot of metal building supplies. Been building them since 1987. We use 100℅ steel. Good quality wood work there. Nice work Thanks.

[@patrickamcguire8749]

I've seen you do the trick where you use a hammer and screw to flush 2 pcs of wood. I'm a handyman and don't do much framing. But I had an occasion to use it and it worked great. Thanks for the tip.

[@RRBuildings]

[@davek6630]

I love your attention to details! Especially the trim and corners! I install gas services to buildings and homes, so I see a lot of different trades work. It’s rare to see things done right! I was on a job yesterday and a contractor from Tennessee was installing high dollar 4” thick insulated inner/ outer steel panels. The circular saw wouldn’t cut all the way through, so the used a tin snip on the inside. The trim work was terrible and the bottom of the panels weren’t even, they varied1/4” to 1/2”. They sat on the bottom trim drip cap, so it was very noticeable. And to correct it they would have to remove all panels after the mistakes, because they interlock.

[@viboquet]

Hi guys, you're really doing great work especially by this cold and I congratulate you for your videos.Sorry for my english from belgium A +

[@TheRooster1122]

I don’t know about anyone else Kyle, but you guys “absolutely” do it correctly from what’ I have witnessed in all your videos!!! I just wished I knew about you and, your Company when I was putting up my 40 by 60 building! I would have had mine insulated and totally finished on the inside! But I guess it’s to late now? Drats.....

[@sbreslin41]

Great videos! I’d love it if you show the basics on how you calculate the angles where the siding meets the roofline. I know, basic stuff, but I’m a novice!

[@tootallrosenwald347]

I do a lot of Wayne’s coat, on steel buildings. And I don’t put on the stack trim, between them. The top sheet I order to overlap 1-1/2”. The leading edge, of the top sheet, gets the skinny wheel run down it for a little notch, to align the sheeting. Works good.

[@jeffmeans894]

Enjoyed the vlog! Y’all have to be rough cause the snow and cold would be killing me!! Lol. The south has its perks!! Keep’em coming man!!

[@FARMALLL666]

VERY GOOD CRAFTSMAN.YOU TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR WORK.

[@sgsax]

That look when you hit the corner with the steel perfectly: I love it when a plan comes together. Always a treat to watch your process. Thanks for sharing!

[@mikedavis5397]

That “punch” is properly called a scratch awl”. Designed to leave a line when cutting sheet metal as in hvac work. Originals had a knob ( think old brass interior door knob) that fit in the palm of your hand for better control. IMO. Punch is fine but use an all steel if you hammer it. Great video, I love watching your projects. Thanks for sharing! 🔧🔫⚔️

[@cameronbarksdale7631]

Seeing all the snow makes me want to get some hot cocoa. Reminds me of home.

[@mikevankirk8312]

Kyle, I was watching your videos on this building. You had some issues covering your materials when it snowed and you had a couple of tarps but some materials weren't covered. Just my two cents, but you had opened rolls of your house wrap in your trailer video. Just use some of that and you can staple it right to the wood piles and tuck it under your steel piles. Love the videos. I'm hooked. I'm an HVAC contractor but have told anyone who will listen that if I had to do it all over, I would have went to work for a framing company for a few years and then transitioned to HVAC. I wish I had more knowledge of framing. Would like to build stuff! Its all good, I have plenty of friends in the trades.

[@oobaka1967]

You're pleased with the GRKs staying attached to the bit but when I use a robertson screw and bit, I can point the drill in any direction including down and the screw will not fall out as long as the bit isn't too worn down. It actually takes a little force to pull the screw out of the bit. The bit is tapered slightly so it fits very snugly.

[@lemiwatts4275]

Thanks Greg for turning the sound off the laser. Every time I hear the laser I have to turn down the volume on the video.

[@mydiyjungle6075]

Love the videos, especially when you make me laugh. AWL isn't an acronym or a tool brand. What you're calling a punch is an awl. It's usually used to make holes or scratch lines by hand. But like you said, it serves the purpose you have for it too.

I had a college kid helping me with a remodel and I told him to go grab the cats pawl out of my bag, he rummaged around then said what is it? I said it's like a slipper foot. After that, he was totally lost. I took the time to go thru my tool bag and explain the different tools and their names. After that, he was great

[@daco8252]

Hey Kyle, how about showing your techniques on getting siding and roof metal ribs to line-up together? Thanks!

[@thebeardedone1225]

As a Texas builder that has built nothing but steel buildings all his life, this intrigues me. For one, red iron is getting so expensive, that it cutting pretty deep into the profit. Plus wages for decent welders is not cheap, and we all want to produce a quality building. But I do build just as many stick houses, so working with lumber is second nature to me as well. Old habits die hard, and pouring a slab first is so ingrained in me that I feel I'm learning to ride a bike for the first time. lol. Oh well, at sixty years old, and after building many houses and buildings, its probably time to learn a few new tricks. I really enjoy your videos. You and your crew having a blast with a project bring back tons of memories for me.

[@RRBuildings]

Thanks for the message that’s really cool!

[@tfilandm]

GRK fasteners are the Business. Their driver bits are great, too (hard enough but not so hard they snap off). Every time I use a different fastener I know I’m using inferior hardware.

I enjoy watching your video very much. The house wrap fabric may get wet at the bottom of steel side panel because fabric is on top of the steel bottom molding where rain water draft down from the panel and stay. Wouldn't it?

[@gearoidp]

I mean the house wrap couldn't hurt. I estimate maybe 200-400 for material and it could take a few hours to put up so 200 for labor. For a couple of extra bucks and to make it that bit less drafty especially in a climate with cold windy winters. I would say its worth it. Having just steel then fiber glass might be still OK. But that wrap just gives that little extra defense against the elements.
