Log cabin chink may work in the corner. You’re probably done by now though

[@marigeobrien]

One thing I'm curious about with Keeps is, do you have to use it forever to keep your hair growing or only until your hair comes back?

[@g_force3857]

@@marigeobriengo watch an old video of there’s , it’s really obvious that it doesn’t work…. Just a snake oil potion 🧪

[@lyleconway6795]

A crew of guys that are happy and get along and build houses from start to finish will always build you a better house than any other high end company that have “management” that drive around in nice trucks

[@mmcc8657]

Isn’t Jamie the “management”????

[@BoKotianLund]

Stating Jamie’s truck isn’t nice, however get what you mean

[@lyleconway6795]

I don’t consider Jamie management lol. I mean that all these guys are a tight knit crew and they love what they do, you can tell

[@pault1964]

True that

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

​​@@lyleconway6795 Irrespective of whether you consider Jaime "management" or not, he is. Even a tight knit crew needs its leader/s and management. That Jaime & Erik are the Owners/Managers of this business and yet are also a valuable part of the "hands-on" working crew, is a credit and testimony to their awesome personalities and characters.!!!! BRAVO to the Perkins Bros and their mentor, their Dad. !!!!🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏👊🇺🇸

[@ramellesmith1520]

Great job! Love that you mentioned “then back to the Modern Home build”! My house is lonely with no one working on it. Looking forward to seeing (and I hope helping) you all finishing up my beautiful home! ❤

[@09britfred]

I'm a 33 yr old woman and have no business watching this channel, but I just discovered the Perkins Brothers and I have been binging ALL the videos. I love Erick's giggles behind the camera, I love Jamie's tenacity through his accident and his passion for stairs, I love Jason's philosophy on just having as much fun at work as possible, I love Jono and his stash of nuts always on his person, I love Arlo for being a National Treasure, and I love Rey for his quirky antics like not believing in sunscreen 😅. I hope I didn't forget anyone

[@BillPairaktaridis]

Why not? I'm never planning on building a house but it's great to learn how things are made properly and what to look for when building or even buying a place. This is great edutainment in my book.

[@marigeobrien]

I'm a 63 year old woman and probably have no business watching this channel, either. When I first found this channel, I, too binged just about every build they have done. I find it fascinating to learn how a whole house is built from start to finish. I've always loved architecture and learning how things are done. I think it's invaluable for anyone thinking about having a house built. Plus, the whole team is so real. Between Erik and Jaime, Ray and Jay, John O and Arlo, they all make a great team. Now I never miss an upload (episode?)

[@ramellesmith1520]

I am 66 yr old woman who has throughly enjoyed watching (and helping ) the PBB and crew work on her Modern Home Build! Love these guys’ skill, care, attention to detail and how they make me laugh! They are IRL as they are on camera. Best builders around~

ROFL at the scrap 2x4s stored between the studs and nailed when the siding was put on! Great to see that the pros do stuff that the rest of us do!

[@owenwalters7186]

In reference to the siding under the windows , In Ireland with “retro fits” we always use the expression “split the difference” it’s the best way to hide an in difference in levels etc. Thanks again for an epic upload ❤

[@sbstech5744]

what I like the most in these videos is the crew that you guys have. I wish I had a crew like that in my country.

[@karlmckinney8469]

Every video I admire the different glasses Eric has on. Very stylish 😊

Set the door with inside trim . Take the brick molding off and extend it on the outside- simple

A hatchet on the job gives new meaning to 'rough carpentry'! Keep up the good work, guys!

[@BryansThailand]

That look sweet guys another great video. Jay just cracks me up, it must be great fun all day working with the PB crew lol . All the best from Thailand 🇹🇭

[@ExceptionalCarpetCare]

I usually take the brick moulding off and install the door at the correct position on the inside. Then I build out the jam on the outside since the outside gets rough sawn trim and paint.

[@albertorozco5981]

Having a crew.that gets along that well makes every work day something to look forward. Thanks guys.

[@benthehandyman9667]

Hey gentleman, if you need the door to open more, you could pull off the brick mold and set the door flush with the interior and extension jamb out the outside loosing the brick mold and use your trim directly to the door looks like America. I have been meaning to tell you boys they make a piece that clips on the that siding nailer that you land on the top of the siding panel this sets where the nail goes so you never accidentally nail to low it's a game changer. I realize you all are super talented with the guns, but everyone slips and ruining a panel and having to pull it off suck and slows production. Another great video. I look forward to Perkins more than all my subscriptions. Stay safe and tell Jason to put his shoe on and get back to work. 😂

[@TonyFerrera]

Thanks!

[@guido0582]

Watching you videos always puts a smile on my face. It's great to see in modern times a crew of happy guys who love their job.

I built a Sunroom 2 years ago on top of the first deck I built 15 years prior... boy it would have been nice to have a crew to help me build it! I like these "tweener" projects as much as the big ones!

[@Manoffire260]

Ask in your area about using drywall to block instead of combustible sheathing or 2x blocking. All may require foam fire block to air seal the “chase”

[@jeremy67]

That siding around and behind the deck seems like a pain in the ass! Helluva job guys. Love these tweeners!

[@Beandiptheredneck]

I've been liking this project, it's a change from the usual new build. And it's always fun to see what a builder does when it's his owm house. I've done things at my place I'd never do for a paying customer, but hey, I know it's gonna work, it's just not necessarily right 😂

[@rhondakennedy819]

Love these guys. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@thebl4ckd0g]

Would love to see any new progress on the home office. Or how it turned out! :)

[@straight_to_finish]

Pro-Tip: if you had shrunk your courses in between the windows at 14:07 by 1/16” for each course (5-7/16”, give or take) you would have landed even at the top of the windows, and your last course at the top would also be close to a full 5-1/2” course. This is likely why the existing courses you were measuring earlier varied.

[@donovandavidsonAlton]

Great seeing you guys knocking it out great work 😮

[@rico1319]

A lot of tips and tricks in this video because of working on an older home and for me that works. What a beautiful neighborhood!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱🇺🇸

[@bpmunroe]

How does the upper deck drain without leaking into the office ceiling?

[@albertsandberg]

In Sweden I guess we would put down a masonry foundation ~100-150mm up (4-6 inches) and then continue with tar paper and wood base.. You plaster the foundation and can then put the first row of paneling straight. It would also keep water out a bit better I suppose. Only negative is perhaps insulation but you could use isolated blocks too. Fun video as always.

[@joshmendoza2038]

Love the videos guys. I always learn a lot! Thanks!

Y'all do such a great job. I like how you make things work and look good at the same time. Enjoyed and thanks.

[@danmizner3328]

When installing exterior doors with a jam extension, we always remove the brick mold and flush up the door with the interior wall and build out the extension on the exterior. Many of the door companies have extension kits for this purpose.

[@eviemiller8100]

I almost fell out of my chair when Jay talked about grounding!! I just found out about the practice and was going outside this fall, barefoot, for about 10 minutes a day. It made a big difference in how I felt. I’ve since purchased a grounding mat because it is too cold in the No Ga Mtns to walk barefoot. It works just as well. Go Jay!!!

[@Bratton-gr3cp]

Thank you thank you

[@gregsidel3557]

Eric was right. Make an optical illusion out of it. So it blends in very good😊

[@BrianMoorePhyloLab]

Good morning crew! Enjoying this PBB build (as always)! This tweener has a tweener (that’s tweener recursion)… very trippy!

[@cherylrosalis1948]

The door is beautiful.

[@bobbray9666]

Use Locktite polyurethane construction adhesive 8X strength (I think is grey) as mortar. Sticks to almost everything, looks like mortar and smooth it out with a wood paint stir stick. Worked for me but you're going to need a bunch of tubes.

[@danzimmer95]

We used to use a water level when I worked in Charleston on an exterior trim and siding crew. Got us a reference line around some very large beach houses.

[@Wandering_whatsnext]

Digging the tweener jobs. Thanks for keeping us entertained.

[@user-ck3xt3hd5h]

I really like to put my jam extensions on the outside by removing the brick mold and buying the kit that includes an extension for the sill the hinges work much better

[@brettellis3948]

Man it was 41 degrees Celsius in Perth, Western Australia today and i was so jealous looking at you all dressed up trying to work in the cold

[@BoudicasQuest]

I'm really enjoying this project! it's fascinating to see all the ways in which you solve problems using physics ~

[@candycrusher45]

I've been grounding recently as well. Love that Jason is doing this! You are my favorite KZbin channel. Thanks!

[@MrBubbajames515]

Not sure where you bought the door itself but Lowe’s sells an extension jamb kit for the outside of the door. Comes with extension for the bottom metal as well.

Another great video and I am definitely more impressed with the LP Smartside products than I have been in the past.

[@dougmacrae9535]

Should let people know to use long screws on their doors and locks to help hinder easy break-ins.

[@whomeverwherever]

And how having outswing doors are safer also.

[@1packatak]

@@whomeverwhereverI live in an area with lots of storm doors. We can’t do out swing main doors with those.

Should of had Jamie build you a custom door. You have a talented brother. You should take advantage of it every chance you get.

[@lorintanner4186]

You can also take the brick mold off the door set the door all the way to the inside get PVC boards rip them put the pieces on the outside and then reinstall the brick mold that way the door will open all the way if you need it to

You can buy pre-manufactured jamb and threshold extensions that fit on the outside section so your door opens and closes perfectly.

I absolutely LOVE your videos. Maybe I should move to Tennessee, around where you live, and have you build me a house.

[@mikecorrea6844]

Maybe along the rock wall between the trim and the rock... run some screws every so often leaving them proud to act as some rebar for what ever you decide to prevent it from falling out

We used 3/4 ply for the draft stops above the ceilings. Code here required that we create a 20 minute burn time, either blocks, ply or mineral wool insulation with engineer certificate.

[@abewiebe3438]

It's real fun when someone leaves a can of spray foam in the stud space and a siding nail punctures it 😂

[@carolewarner101]

Why did you leave the corner posts exposed vs covering them up with corner boards?

[@Aaronlewis8846]

Im glad to see you guys address my comment on the fire blocking. And no its not to block the fire as you said its to prevent airflow and the fire from spreading quickly. We always used the plywood method but if that wasn't applicable we used wood blocking in between the studs. So thank you for addressing that guys!!!

[@pigalex]

0:35 you could look into a filter drier with a desiccant for these winter jobs. the desiccant can usually be dried and reused a few times
