[@oldtimefarmboy617]

@@flippinuid9892 Metal roof is less prone to structural damage by footwear and equipment and is less textured so foam rubber or foam whatever would not stick. Solid rubber sheets are less likely to slide on metal and will still provide traction for feet and equipment but you have little cushion if you have to sit or lay down and they do get hot in the sun.

I'm in my Seventies, and just completed three sides of my house with Hardie Board, all off of scaffolds, and with no help. It's a lot more work than some people might think, but the results are *very* satisfying. After all that hard work, brushing on the paint made all that hard work really pop! I didn't buy shears, because I read a lot of bad reviews on them, probably written by people who didn't know what they were doing. Yours seemed to work quite well. I'm guessing yours was a DeWalt, but I never got a good enough look at it in your video. Instead of shears, I opted for a guillotine and a polycrystalline diamond blade for my 7-1/4" DeWalt cordless saw. The guillotine worked great, and no dust. My back is telling me that this will be my last siding job. I won't say how long this project has taken me, but it's a good thing no one had to pay me by the hour...

Respect to you for completing the job yourself. That must be very rewarding every time you see the results!

@@incognitotorpedo42 It took me quite awhile to develop the mindset that it isn't a race. It's taken me almost two years to get three sides done, but I was also doing plumbing and electrical work, replacing headers for the new windows, and all the other "little surprises" that end up getting added to the list as I started uncovering things. I used to feel guilty if I had a day where I didn't get anything accomplished, but now I just try to get _something_ done every day, even if I can only work an hour. Even if it's a small accomplishment, no one can take it away from me... I'm still a little bit closer to my goal. This was more than I should have taken on by myself at this stage of my life, but it's extremely satisfying to prove to myself that I can still do it. It's beating me up quite a bit, but I truly believe that staying active is the key to a long life.

I'm from South Africa and has been in the carpentry and construction trade for almost 25 years. her we do things diffirently. Most homes are built by bricklayers and then finished by roofing experts and carpenters. I'm like a child at Christmas waiting for every episode of Essential Craftsman. I watch all your stuff. The project house is the one I like the most since it is a timber frame construction like my first house I ever built. With barely any knowledge of house construction I built my parents a timber frame double story house. Now after all these years I learn so much more from your channel. You do stuff a lot different than here in South Africa.

[@firesurfer]

FYI, In the US this is not considered timber construction. This is stick built. Timber starts at 4x4 (100mmx100mm) up to full-size logs. I know in other parts of the world timber means almost any kind of wood except engineered wood. www.blackdogtimberworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/TIMBER-FRAME-BARN.jpg i.pinimg.com/originals/03/1d/cb/031dcb9df9b7f59febe978bf8ccdcc3d.jpg I just realized the other day outside the US, when someone says timber, we say lumber.

It’s the highlight of my week when you post another video. Thanks.

[@markspears1167]

And everyone that looks at excellent work says to themselves “ I could have done that, it so easy” not realizing true talent makes it look easy not realizing the hours and years of hard work that went into becoming that good at their trade. As a custom cabinet builder who has spent almost all of my adult life learning and building cabinets and not to mention the financial investment I have in my shop, tools and equipment I have people that have never built cabinets that didn’t hire me because I was too expensive so they tried to build the cabinets themselves, with a brother in law of course and two weeks later I was asked to build the cabinets only to get a “had I know that I could have built them” response. They didn’t know what they didn’t know and My work couldn’t convince them of that either.

[@japples6852]

In reference to 9:30- Hardie absolutely grows length-wise and shrinks. If you do not leave recommended gaps at ends, the siding will push against the trim and buckle where it is butted. I see it all the time here in FL. The longer the run the wider the gap you should consider. Hope this helps someone

[@robertn2813]

yes J , humid climates wreak havoc on Hardie producrs . that 1/8" thing is SO important .

[@Squat5000]

The expansion and contraction is a very real issue in construction with modern engineered materials and tight tolerances. It is magnified exponentially in areas with wide temperature swings and wide humidity swings. The micro climate I build in has crazy temperature and humidity swings that will cause a 16' LP side to expand over 1/4" if it was installed on a cold dry day. That has just enough flex to not fail but it will bow out between fasteners. But if the house shifts at all, or if there is a major temperature swing when fiber cement siding is installed, it can cause it to completely crack. Kind of like the sidewalks or rarely freeway sections in CA when they pop up 1' in the air on a hot day because the expansion joints failed or there was not enough room to expand. Keep the gaps, as they definitely work. On a new install, I measured 1/8 with that spacing tool. A week later, very cold, very dry they shrank up to 1/4" in some areas, and when it hit over 100 at 90% humidity, they were almost touching. Hard to imagine that much movement, but it is definitely there. The pressures and forces exerted even on a single piece of siding are insane when extrapolated across the entire length. As always, beautiful work and great info. Very thankful to have a channel like this to watch and enjoy!

[@incognitotorpedo42]

Absolutely. If you ever work with PVC, which is pretty popular in my parts, you really see the thermal movement.

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

@@incognitotorpedo42 The apartment next to where I live installed vinyl siding over their lap siding a few years ago rather than properly strip and repaint the wood. I could tell quickly they were doing it wrong by driving the nails all the way down tight and butting the joints together without proper spacing. I walked over and told the manager but they did not want to listen. That vinyl siding always buckled in the heat because the tight nails and lack of space at the joints did not allow it to expand and contract freely. Then fastening points started to fail. The wind in the Texas Panhandle regularly blows 20, 30 MPH and higher. Sometimes during thunderstorms we can get wind speeds up to 90+ MPH. So after about three years the wind started breaking pieces of the vinyl siding off and it got so bad that this year they have had to strip all of it off and start residing with a different material. All because the manager did not want to listen or make the installers go back and redo what they had already done properly. Ego is expensive, humility is cheap.

[@donniebrown2896]

@@oldtimefarmboy617 that's the reason vinyl siding is "hung". I worked as a subcontractor for over 25 years and have seen every type of bad construction you could think of. Try roofing shingles using one nail. Someone, (don't know who😁) let the building inspector know.

So much good advice in your videos and loads of tips for anyone in the trades . Also glad to see you accepting tips and viewpoint from your viewers. A little tip I have that I would like to share with you and your viewers is the use of eggcrate foam , it is smooth on one side and as the name implies has an eggcrate texture on the other, is usually available in various thicknesses and the eggcrate really holds on to anything you may want to lay on it , you don't have to watch your tools or supplies slide off .

Speaking of the foam-rubber for roofing protection, about 40 yr ago I had an old asbestos/cement shingle roof where the ridge cap needed repairing. It was almost impossible to traverse the shingles without breaking them. I bought a damaged aluminum extension ladder and separated the 2 halves. I wrapped each with foam-rubber. I laid one ladder down horizontal and I laid down on the ladder and reached down and pulled the other ladder up and over. I "prone-walked" up to the ridge and did the repair without breaking a shingle or a bone.

Another awesome video, I’m loving this detailed series. I can’t wait to see the work inside (being an electrician) keep up the good work sir

[@RetnuhN]

This is really turning out to be a sharp looking house with the quality to back up its looks. I’ve been watching this series from the start and I’m always excited to see the next one, easily the best series on KZbin! Keep em comin!

[@jason-ge5nr]

did you not see the 3 step kick out flashing. someone working on that house loves their job and it shows.

[@bobt9948]

Aahhh, the exterior finishing is a nice milestone!! Keep up the good work!

[@jimrohrer2751]

I especially love pops. Sitting, enjoying his pipe..... "My work is done, time to watch the young ones". 👍. Keep going ol' boy!!!

[@lcook0825]

Great video. Love watching the progress on the house.

[@matthewroepke4644]

You and your crew do great work! Thanks for sharing!

[@juanmafnas2765]

The house is looking so beautiful! I have never seen the system you were using to protect the installed shingles and that is a very efficient and great way of thinking.

[@UteTrac]

Oh my gosh! That is brilliant ! they are using a slab of foam on the roof as a nee pad/shingle protection/ anti slip mat. absolutely brilliant !

[@childofgod5115]

Great video! Thanks for the knowledge.

Best way yet to start a Saturday morning! Thanks!

[@jamesogorman3287]

Thanks for all you do.

[@andrewpiereder2768]

Looks fantastic. Since I'm contemplating an almost identical patterns of clapboard and shingles in the gable to replace the aluminum siding on my house, I really appreciated the detailed insights.

[@landmarkcreations1183]

Love watching these videos with my coffee on Saturday morning

[@stevemazzarella7212]

It’s incredible work!!!

[@psidvicious]

The exterior is really starting to come together with all the finish trim going on. For me, just the right amount of visual interest going on, without getting too busy. I could sit there and look at the ‘Right (north?) Elevation’ all day long with the quirky, non-standard angles of the structure, dressed up with the multiple textures of the siding and shingle siding. The oversized, corbeled overhangs and the corner and window trim. Really a very aesthetically pleasing elevation. KUTGW!

[@Ichabod_Jericho]

Oh my god bro, those cuts are a thing of beauty. The attention to detail these guys show is really intense. Much respect 🤘

[@paulsautocm]

Never thought of you as a “ moron “, we all miss speak. You just have hundreds of thousands of critics. Thanks for demonstrating your human also. Beautiful home, it’s coming together.

[@cariboocustomwoodworks6528]

right! Anyone who thinks even for a second that he is a "moron" has no idea what they are talking about.

[@Davey768]

Relax guys, it was just said tongue in cheek.

[@royalty_the1892]

You're human.* "We all misspeak".

[@incognitotorpedo42]

It's not so much criticism as correcting the record. Lots of people watch these videos to learn something about construction, and some of the old hands are just helping out the noobs. EC making a note of it in this video was a totally classy move. It's things like that that earn him the massive respect he gets from all of us.

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

Ego is expensive, humility is cheap. Those who follow his advice will appreciate that he wanted them to know and use proper material if they do their own work. Kudos and admiration for a true professional and teacher.

[@gerardotafoya9012]

Excellent work.

[@tristanstefanetti6072]

Awesome to be learning carpentry and come home and get quality review of what I learn from essential craftsman. Keep up the good work

[@David7pm]

Another fine video! Always a joy to sit back and relax and spend that time watching and learning. Take care and keep up the great work! :)

[@Stefan_Kawalec]

It's the longest and the best real estate ad I've ever seen.

[@justelvin]

I love all the virtual interest and details in the roof line etc. Thank you for not going ultra basic.

[@haydanklein8527]

Wonderfull Job! Thanks for this series! I saw all videos. ESPECTACULAR! It reached me here, in Brazil! Please, keep up the good work. Haydan Klein

[@jeremiahmcnutt2922]

Thank you for all the hard work sir. I appreciate the time you have put into your craft and your ongoing education. God bless.

[@monsterq6]

Thanks for another outstanding video.

[@klmbuilders5385]

I love this house! I live in an early 1930's Craftsman home. Not quite as fancy as yours and a few less brackets in the gables. I remodeled the home in 2008 when there was no outside work anyway. I studied period-correct interior trim features so my little bungalow looked right inside and out!

[@johnspence2466]

I've enjoyed this series and have watched and eagerly anticipated the next episode

[@Jonzuber]

The house looks fantastic and the shingles compliment the ship lap siding.

[@nealwalden3543]

Looks so good. Great momentum and fun to see the siding event happening. Whew!

[@allancampbell8274]

beautiful result

[@joeseabert8391]

The attention to detail that I didn’t even think of but makes perfect sense when you point it out is mind boggling on how you can keep it all straight. Proving I’m better just stick with my job.

[@dickphan]

This voice is a s soothing as Sir David Attenborough on an animal documentary......the most informative building channel on KZbin by a man with decades of experience.....👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
