Thanks, very methodical for my learning style . I think after watching this I can do it.

[@patpka1764]

You can also cut stages for your pieces. For example your 10, 8, 6, and 4 all at the same time and so forth instead of measuring every single piece. I'm sure you knew that already. Keep up the good work!

[@steveandlisasanders7959]

i really appreciate all of your videos. they have so much information in them. i'm getting ready to start the vinyl siding on the garage and had a couple of questions. do you use a metal starter strip on the front of the garage above the driveway? how to you have the one inch overlap? Also would you put a metal drip cap over the garage door brick molding before installing a j channel?

[@vincentjimenez4573]

Love the video bro lots of good information but could help out and explain to me after you start your starter whats your formula for the cuts on the stairs steping

[@megg7558]

How do yo start it. Do yo put the trims on first?

[@JPFullThrottle]

I use a 12” metal stud grinding blade on my chop saw from any lowes or Home Depot. Stops chipping on the siding. Saves from ruining a $30+ dollar blade

[@tripodb.3706]

Awesome videos my friend. I'm a heavy equipment mechanic didn't know a damn thing about roofing. Watched a few of your videos and put a new roof on my house hasn't leaked a drop. Only problem I ran into was figuring out how much materials I would need. Fuck the haters your videos do help I'm proof.

[@ScardiMard]

Thank you for saying sorry to the nice plants.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

No problem

[@chet174able]

We cut all the starters at once and all the finishers at once. Easy if you know your offset no reason to measure your finishers except for the first and we cut 32 inches apart per code to land on studs. I know it doesn't workout on 12-6 panels but that's code with a house wrap inspection. But we mostly do lp nowadays. I new all your finishers before you measured them after the first one.

[@Rb-jj6hf]

I understand you don't do citing on every job I'm curious of what state you're in I don't recognize the brand of siding ?

[@skipbrazil679]

Enjoyed your video. I have one question. Can you put vinyl siding over existing wood siding or do you have to strip the old siding? I’m looking into to put on vinyl siding on our farm house.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

You can go over it. I assume if it's an old farmhouse the existing siding has like a 2 inch lap. It might be worth it to put fanfold over it to create a more even surface, or even put vertical nailing boards. But yes, you should be able to go right over it. That's the beauty of vinyl, you can float it. I just recommend you get a good solid siding panel with a .044 thickness

[@nicholasittzes7224]

Also, please install correct flashing and trim per manufacturers spec. Don't assume that the old siding underneath will continue to shed water. I've seen an installation done poorly over 4x8 foot panel siding that now leaks around every window. I'm guessing that the installer banked on the old siding, and it worked for about 15 years. But eventually, the caulk gave way, and everywhere there's a window needs to be torn apart and reframed.

[@haiperr6861]

I'm with you on this one haha.

[@richardrussell568]

If you were working on new construction you would crawl around in the mud ?siding would get really dirty

[@turneduptyler]

Do you just level your starter and hope for the best after that? No level line or levels ?

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

helllllll no lol i lasered a line around this entire garage. then had boycub cut some bottoms off and install starter, which i ended up taking down because the garage is framed so terribly. so we re hung our starter somewhat out of level so that it doesn't look out of place. we pulled from the soffit a certain number on this one and it was 100% the way to go. i filmed a little bit of it i'm sure i'll post it sometime soon

[@gergemall]

@@NWIVeteranConstruction thanks for your video .

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

I am siding my garage. Imagine the left side of your building (with the corner post on) is the right side of my garage door. T111 is what is currently on the garage, my question is , How would you finish or wrap the jam of the garage door (overhead door)? The T 111 edge and the foam board for the siding is showing if I just add the J channel around the door opening. There is no brick mold or trim currently. In other words, If you were to look down the wall standing at the door opening you will see the edge or side of the T 111 and the foam board for the vinyl Even if I add brick mold and put the J beside the brick mold, the edge of the T 111 can still be seen, What is the right way to fix this?

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

thats a tough one. sounds to me like you have to remove all the wood around the opening of the garage door. depending on the garage, there is usually a 2x6 around the perimeter of the garage door where your opener number pad would be mounted. remove all that wood and maybe put a 2x8 if the 2x6 isnt enough. flush with the 2x4 framing on the inside of the garage, and it will stick out enough for your j channel to butt right against it. wrap in aluminum when complete

[@TheCrain]

Your editor cut out the sound of the saw. What a badass. Great video also.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

That was me lol I can't stand that shit

[@ozziestrom9793]

No need to measure, just flip the panel mark and cut. The only time I would pull the tape would be the last course for cut down. A wall like that, I would mark the studs for nailing.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

I end up doing that a lil later. That wall has a ton of meat still so we don't usually bother marking studs when we go over t-111 or cedar line this. But on plywood we do

[@glenn4452]

Need longer nails&nail in the studs

[@dariuspocius4210]

I did not andastend first small peace was 14cm. How much need cut next peace and fird it was 30cm/60cm/90cm/120cm? Thanks gret video

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Inches. But not all walls use the same stagger. 30 and 36 show up most often successfully. Then 24 and 20. Those are the 4 easiest numbers to stagger mathematically. I have a formula you can use to determine if a stair step will work with the length of your wall

[@dariuspocius4210]

@@NWIVeteranConstruction fanks very much :)

[@finestsickman216]

Put some foam insulation behind that vinyl, that wood is about done for and the vinyl won't help without a vapor barrier

[@nickking7067]

New to construction, what would a job like this price per square foot

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Hard so say these days. 400$ a square. (Which 100 sq ft) isn't too bad if you don't have to rip off existing siding.

[@SCthatsMe]

Noice

[@TheFuelInjected]

I find it easier on a 1 story to just mark your siding. That way your doing half the work and you're not transferring your measurements twice.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

I do that on occasion! I don't disagree at all

[@todc8986]

your helper should be starting the nailing from the center of the panel , if the panel is hanging your siding will be off.

[@stevengrammont44]

I never use a piece smaller than 2' on a filler panel.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

in my formula I made it so there's no pieces shorter than 10"...i feel like there's plenty to lock into with a 10" to keep it straight as well as just big enough for a few nails. i like that rule though! if you can make it work that's pretty ideal

[@stevengrammont44]

@@NWIVeteranConstruction It's just my preference , I don't like the look of pieces smaller than 2' for fillers.

Little too fast and frantic for a learning newbie ,,I suggest not doing it on working time to focus on teaching only

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Eh, I do all my videos on site and most people prefer it. I do it because the things I teach aren't very diy friendly. Too many details to get good quality if you're new to it so i never recommend homeowners doing this type of thing alone. and I try to detail everything well enough that anybody competent enough to do the work will have their questions answered and see a good efficient way of getting it done. And I don't mean that as a knock to anybody at all, I only say that because often times I make things look easy or even fun, and the last thing I want is somebody caught in a bind, wasting time and materials because I made it look easy for them to attack on their own.
