24” because the shop is big.

[@Timmy_P711]

24" the building is too big for the 16" IMO

[@kwinders]

24" might look better on the large building, but that's a lot of nails to cover, so 16" has its pluses also.

[@BrianWood74]

Hearing you talk about Velcro so you can keep your tape with you, while wearing your top belt backwards, where the tape pocket could be right there is hysterical.... An I love it.

[@thelowedown6875]

I caught that too & had a giggle

[@cameronthompson356]

24” looks best for that size structure IMO. You doing nice work!

[@bandvidguy]

16" because: 1. Looks a bit more classy, less barn like. 2. Closer spacing makes the surface look more dimensional, like your roof and brick, and less like big flat panels with boards stuck on top. Note that no matter how big the house is, the bricks are all the same size so I would not size up my spacing just because it's a big area 3. Covers all the nails with your 16"OC framing.

[@leokelly359]

What @bandvidguy said, I started to type then I went and read some other comments.

[@locke3141]

Yeah covering the nails is key here. 24” would probably look better, but 16 would be better to cover nail holes and protect building longer.

[@Rgj_j]

Back in the seventies we put the battens 16 on center to use the studs to secure to and to cover the screws. If you go 24 on center the battens in the field in the center of the panels will not have a stud to nail into.

[@J-7072]

24", no doubt! Great work and progress...keep it up.

[@HickerdooHive]

South Texas here with a 3 yr old new construction hardie board & Texas Limestone house. Cover every single nail with the 16 on center. I have spent tooo many hours fixing nails that have worked out and recaulking seems. Do not cheap out when you do the caulking. Big Stretch or something similar. Good paint! Invest in a sprayer as year one they hard to respect the whole house again after fixing pops.

[@randyhughes1526]

16 on center. Covers the nails and in my opinion, looks more custom. Shows that you didn’t cheap out the build for possible resale down the road.

[@glenn9989]

16”. I always do the pro desk and have them do an estimate. I have been supprisd when they come back with a price. Also let them know your are waiting for a quote from the other guys. 😉

[@kennethm3071]

24" on center will fit that building size perfectly. The base flashing is absolutely a necessity. taped along the top with all seams caulked together with a noncuring butyl sealant. No silicones...they are for beauty not longevity. Builders skip the flashing beacause it save a few hundred dollars . Multiply that by 100's of buildings and the ceo/owner can buy another house on the beach. You are doing a great job.

[@chrisbraunsmfg]

Your building is looking good. When painting galvanized steel clean it with white vinegar and prime with a water Base primer. then you can cover with oil base top coat. any oil base on direct to galvanized will trigger the galva salt and reject the paint over time.

[@dainperrault585]

Dude you’re way more resilient than I would ever be building this shop. I admire your determination.

[@Moddwerx3Dtech]

You have to understand he’s building a shop on video. This is his content he’s showing his audience every step of the way. It’s great content and he’s trying to be consistent with his videos for the algorithm on KZbin.

[@dainperrault585]

@ absolutely I get it. If I had a project like this and I legit could not pay a professional to do this for me I’d consider the same thing myself, but every time a new video comes out with him doing the next major task mostly by himself, I know myself, and I would have some buddies over helping me or something. No way I’d be trying to tackle some of these tasks alone like this but I respect the hustle.

[@HanseaticConsortium]

New builders quality, is nonexistent. You’re doing MUCH Better

[@Dylan69]

Here you are generalizing every contractor 🤣 There are many contractors out there who've built their business on quality work. Most people just go with the cheapest bid and expect skyscraper results.😆😆

[@Doubie.]

No he right there are plenty of people who do good quality but very few who build good products Ex if you put in a block retaining wall and it’s perfectly straight and well structured but you stand by an watch while the general or another sub build or pave ect in the no compaction zone of the wall that wall is now junk and your just as bad as them if you don’t do something because your watching the customer get shafted so it’s not your responsibility to fix something that’s not structurally sound Buildings are ecosystem made up of engineered/architectural systems nothing a trade does exists in a vacuum it effects everything but nobody today has the skills to do other trades jobs or wants to actually take responsibility and build well rounded systems until that changes you can have the best craftsmanship skill on the site but if what you do or what another trade does hurts that system it screws over the customer

[@Dylan69]

@@Doubie. If you are building anything. You hire a quality, and well known contractor. A good contractor is established with these different crews, and plans around it. There are absoutely so many great General contractors - but once again it cost for a good contractor, which people dont want to pay the upfront cost for. But for many the bear the cost down the road.

[@tsjuno]

When you get older you will learn to use saw holders to keep from all the up downs put 5-6 sheets on the saw horse and then you can slide the top one over to cut and even clamp it to the others while cutting if you need.

[@jlett24]

16" on center. Makes the shop look taller.

[@erichwhiteman6373]

16” on center. Cover nails holes and looks more intentional, especially with the smaller brick. Don’t forget the big stretch caulk.

[@bigbusiness87business2]

i am fricken just loving this whole ass build . more more more please ❤

[@YoungSperm]

Mmmmmm I love watching ass builds

[@sogg223]

16” on sides because of the window spacing and 24” on the ends

[@canadianred6937]

I agree with this comment, the 3/5 of the middle being the 16” and then the ends at the higher would add some cool visual appeals, but it’s your project, either way will be awesome

[@BryanMarino-to5ph]

In my view, 24" is the sweet spot for your shop.

[@graham0599]

There is a pocket on the back of the tool belt for your tape measure lol. I do the same thing all the time though! Good work on the shop build

[@Moddwerx3Dtech]

24” because it will look better because the shop is so big and if your on a budget, it would help you because on a 16” center, you would use twice as much wood to cover the seams on the siding itself. If it don’t look right when you’re done with the siding, you can always add another slat on the side at 16” at a later time down the road when your budget looks better!

[@GBuck276]

Thank you for being responsible by using PPE when cutting those boards & for noting the importance in doing so. I worked a campus maintenance gig while I earned my undergraduate. It was essentially a rotating apprenticeship & eventually I spent a couple months helping demo & remodel bathrooms with a mason named Mark. He was a few years younger than my parents, but looked at least a decade older. We meshed well primarily for our mutual taste in music. Unfortunately, Mark’s respiratory system was failing him because of breathing in particulates while cutting tile, backer, etc. spanning his career. It had also caused him significant complications to his skin. I don’t know details of his condition but it’s fair to assume he was suffering from silicosis. He taught me a lot of useful tricks, but absolutely forbade me from ever cutting tile because he didn’t want me - or honestly anyone else - to be exposed to the dust regardless of PPE, (which he dutifully wore in every occasion in my time spent assisting). He passed a few years later at the age of 58.

[@craigyarmulasr1845]

You first have to figure out where your joints are going to land. Which ever way you go you have to figure out what generates less waste. Good luck. Love the channel.

[@OVHabitats]

I am so happy you started in the middle on the gable end. There is nothing worse, visually, than a batten falling off center at the peak. As far as the spacing of the battens, based on the size of the building, my opinion is 24" OC for the spacing. 16" OC would look too busy.

[@ryankelly5303]

Looks amazing!

[@401Impala]

24". 16 would look like a freaking jail cell lol. Building is way too big for 16"

[@asphaltcowboy2283]

24 oc, looks the part!!

[@kencovert7065]

24 seems like the move with a building that size.

[@Zmaslanik]

24 for the win 💪🏼

[@jaybird4095]

One thing I would recommend. Screw a 2x4 under you horizontal flashing to support the weight of you siding. Better than accidentally damaged the flashing.

[@Cianan-vw1lb]

Milwaukee dust extractor with your circular saw when cutting that material. Would something like a drywall lift help your shoulder? Yep, the pro desk at the home stores.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Clopay only sells through distributers. 24" battens will look like you are skimping.

[@richarddugan-starr6364]

24” looks good

[@patrickf310]

One thing to consider prior to choosing spacing on batons. You need to caulk all seems, joints on all sides of them. I say 24” , Wife says 16”

[@Z-Bart]

24" OC is my vote.

[@stripes6532]

Thank you for shopping at Lowe’s!!!

[@MikeKetchumsGarage]

Id probably go for 24's. 16's might look a little busy with the brick. 24's makes for Mo work covering up the nails but it will be Mo Better. Great job.

[@joshbt3]

You’re killing it man. 24 inch looks much better in my opinion

[@justatim8143]

wall studs are 16" on center so batts should be the same to have stronger nailing and holding of the sheats.

[@davetarr7257]

24” all the way

[@dbing232]

churr bro awesome mahi!

[@youtubeadmin3158]

I'd do 24 the spacing seems much more appealing but I Def see how covering all the nails is a bunch of extra work

[@NANKEL1]

Hey, if you've seen RR do it, your doing right. That guy is so pedantic about doing things spot on he is the best I've seen 👌🇦🇺

[@brucelmnop2043]

I think 16" will look better

[@rogermathews3035]

ive always done batons over studs to hide nail holes, so if you framed 16 oc then that is baton spacing. you can do 24 but your not covering your 16/32 nail holes then. granted you dont technically have to nail into studs with paslode tetragrip but with the osb sheathing you used i would rely on nailing into studs for sure.

[@tjs114]

I would do 24 inch spacing because 1) it means less work and 2) the size of the garage can handle the scaling. I hope you're planning to do brick and stone veneer rather than actual stone and brick laying. PS: Your life would have been easier if you had pre-painted the siding before installing. Now you'll need scaffolding to climb up and paint. Its batten, like saying "batten down the hatches" which is actually what that is. Batten down the hatches is an 1800s sailing term where during a storm you fastened down canvas over openings like doorways and hatches with battens - wood strips that are nailed in.

[@adambohler5011]

My house is bigger than your shop and is spaced at 16. Looks much better than 24 would. It does not look too busy, it looks amazing. I would without a doubt do 16 on your shop!

[@This.dad.]

I had the same thought today. Work on the most inconspicuous areas first and then make my way around 😅 and I’m just building a decent sized chicken coop haha

[@robertdore856]

You want to put the batts where the studs are, if your studs are 24” on center then the batts should be the same that way you nail into the studs and cover the nails in the siding

[@ericbeckner6959]

Note there is a flashing that goes between vertical rows of the siding on the big wall.

[@billwatsabaugh945]

Two items for this comment. First you are wearing your tool belt backwards. The clasp goes in the back. The smaller area between the two larger pouches is for your tape. That will help you keep track of it as it is always right there where you need it. Second IMHO 16" on center for the batten boards looks much better.

[@josephrussoniello1623]

16-24 either one that is the most economical they will both look good. RR builders love that channel 👍👍

[@djbucky16]

I had the same issue with building supply places around me. They do not want to deal with homeowners building their own stuff, so unless you already had an in, good luck getting a call back from them or favorable pricing lol

[@texZR2]

I love it when you go to the adult TOY STORE (Home Depot & Lowes)

[@TimTeetrick]

16. Match it to what is in the neighborhood

[@Kyle52596]

I like the 24oc Chad! Love the vids keep on going!

[@larryriffett918]

Aloha i haven't personally used it but ive heard that hardy board isn't so hardy & starts deteriorating real bad if you don't keep it painted every few years, good luck. I would've went with a more traditional siding. The gable ends you definitely need a synthetic/composite cedar shake siding. That will help break up the long runs of board & batton.

[@bandvidguy]

For what it's worth, my experience with Hardy has been fantastic even though I hate putting the stuff up compared to wood. It I built in 8x15 ft shed with it. Didn't paint it for almost 2 years. Not a bit of deterioration. It's now been up for another couple of years with one thin coat of sprayed on paint. Looks fantastic!. Hardie facia on my house is 20 years old. No rot.

[@robertalexander2506]

16" on center, you won't have studs on some of the bats & you need a stud to nail into to hold the bats securely.

[@michaelconnolly-fv5cr]

24" definitely looks mo betta.

[@whowhatisthat88]

Supply houses are normally not cheaper but they are better at getting materials to your job site. So being able to get materials at your job site versus spending a little bit less to wait for materials this normally more important to contractors. Time is money and time is not always an unlimited thing for projects.

[@Allan_2002]

Would say 16” to help hide the nails, but for the shop being that big I would say 24”

[@Ratchetblast]

24" on center i think is the way to go. with 16" on center, there would be too much going on even without the trim around the windows. 24" works for the building as it looks too

[@eugenex.p.3430]

Home-De-Po-Po 🤩

[@famshof]

Definitely 24"🤙

[@mattthomson6838]

16” for sure looks so much better. 24 looks like cheap paneling

[@badideafairygarage2258]

On topic: my vote would be 24", to make the side of the shop not look too "busy", if that makes sense. Also, it's been great following this build - I'm way behind you, but in the similar process lol

[@Andrew_Bishop]

personally i would do the limestone up 4 foot all the way around with 24inch spacing on the batons. my brain would not cope with brick on top at the front then brick on the bottom the rest of the way round.

[@86Keister]

24” looks good

[@northside0nation]

24 makes it look more clean

[@williamhunter-d1i]

16 if it covers all the nails, 24 if not. never seen a building designed to center all the batons, so one has equal measurement spacing around doors and windows

[@RichardTackett-b8v]

I been following this build. I think 16 on center. More would look better.

[@mccart75]

24 inch definitely fits the shop better. The amount of open flat space would look way to busy with 16.

[@WillNolte]

Colab video with Stud Pack? They could help with the back of the garage with their scaffolding system and they just finished the board and button on the Stud Pack Garage a few months ago. They could teach you some tricks and we could see you interact with your fellow Hawaiian turned Texan, Rad.

[@antoniogonzalez9597]

Homemade scaffold for the WIN… it’s a game changer

[@joshuaguenin9507]

There are special power shears that cut that material...way easier, no dust

[@elc7795]

I agree with 24”. A large and tall building will make a 16” spacing look too busy. Edit: rule of thumb. If R&R is doing it, it’s one of the right ways to do it.

[@SARGEinc]

Dang bro, I've seen more snow in your video than I have in real life this winter. And I'm in Canada!

[@CamaroTime]

16 because it will offset the size of the window. If you go 24 that is almost the size of the window. And if it does not fall in the middle of each window it will look VERY odd

[@dsjr-nr4ud]

The siding always goes on before the brick. The reasin is bc the framers put siding on when they frame up the structure, brickers come after framers are gone

[@Rewster68]

Never in 30 plus years have I ever had siding go on before brick. My framers do not put on my siding, I have siding guys install my siding.

[@chestercalloway3812]

You start at the bottom and work up.

[@chestercalloway3812]

Sounds like you let the subs run the job the way they want.

[@jamesh7644]

@11:30 you're wearing a tool belt brotha lol

[@bentonjohanson9243]

You need to get Greg from RR to help you. I’ve watched and sub to there videos. Currently working on a home. Trusses next. That two man crew is the best I’ve seen. They get jobs done quickly???

[@lotusgardener]

I would finish that siding and spray it before you install brick. It'll save you hella time masking everything off.

[@markfrye9178]

16" is closer to traditional B&B look. 16" gets my vote

[@RonSales]

I6 makes it more secure with your 16 o/c wall studs.

[@davefriessen9897]

24” dude it looks so much MoBettah. The building won’t look so “busy” if you get what I mean

[@kyleturner4446]

Be cool if Kyle came down and helped out for a video or two. Who am I kidding that man would have it wrapped up in a video or two. And you’d be doing a bunch of extra cool stuff

[@ericbeckner6959]

Spacing should be adjusted to miss the windows and doors edges best as you can.

[@tifire3363]

24'' give you a proper scale in relation to the building size.

[@davedonlick2146]

16” would look perfect

[@damianlambright6986]

24" will look less busy. A cleaner look.

[@tsjuno]

24” would be my choice. But it’s going to look clean either way.

[@garrethotop3959]

24”, once you put window trim in it’ll look good. 16” may look too busy

[@WexWerxScott]

I like the 24"... Thats just me though... Every time yous ay mo bettah I get hungry 😂

[@Badass_Rooster]

24 in on center! I think 16 will be to busy!

[@Da0R30]

Aesthetically it does look better for the 24”. But since you need to cover up all the nails and the 16” does that efficiently then my vote is the 16”.

[@tbuckets2522]

24". The building is large, it needs bigger gaps between the battons.

[@mikej4731]

Your brick is coming from my hood!!
