When Johno said, 'I don't go out.' - that spoke to me. On a deep level. 😂

[@fuegoman45]

The attention to detail is almost unfathomable.

[@munkydotorg]

A lapse on flashing details resulted in my chimney chase nearly falling off the side of the house, substantial amounts of water coming in when it rains, and a really expensive repair. The water managed to rust out the chimney box, so the end result was a wall with a window where there used to be a fireplace. So Jaime, keep being on that flashing game. Your homeowners will appreciate it later.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

wow... chimneys seem to be the most overlooked place for some reason. Seen a bunch of bad stuff locally here over the years

[@BoudicasQuest]

oh my goodness! I hope everything's okay now. I was thinking at that point in the video how small errors become magnified as you move along the project. I'm sorry that happened to you ~

[@munkydotorg]

@@BoudicasQuest yea, it wasn't fun. After going to a wall and window, no more water issues. But we sold the house a couple of years later. I still get a little nervous with rain, always waiting for what is going to leak next.

[@timothyabelovsky2235]

dont usuually read comments but good lord why is everyone hating on the wasted space under house its not urs so if the owner is happy who cares besides shes a widdow building for her self she obviously knows how much space she wants and needs

[@ramellesmith1520]

Thank you! It’s for mechanical and some storage. I don’t like dark dank spaces, and money doesn’t grow on trees here. Living on the main level with direct light and what will be an incredible deck for outdoor living and entertaining is what it’s all about for me!!!

[@pepestevecalvo]

Everybody knows that they are going to build a basement, but legally they are not allowed hahaha that's why he reacts that way when someone call it basement 😂

[@ramellesmith1520]

@@pepestevecalvo - Nope, it’s not gonna be a basement, at least not by me. And the placement for HVAC doesn’t leave much room! Storage and mechanical

[@Eger118877]

​@@ramellesmith1520awesome!!! You're the Ramelle who the house is being built for!!! You're such a nice person. Are you happy with your house?

[@ramellesmith1520]

@@Eger118877 - yes, I am that Ramelle. Thanks for the compliment. I am extremely happy with the house this far. Just bummed there’s another delay. This time it’s due to a PBB tweeter project. The 1900s cottage is taking longer. My house is ready for interior paint since Monday. Hoping it’s just one more week. I’m going to vacuum up the drywall and mud dust to help speed things along! Grateful the guys let me put in some sweat equity!

[@antoniobiondo1509]

Hands down the best builder channel on YT!! I wish all contractors and builders were as detailed as you guys are.

[@lblbuilders]

that “crawlspace” is unreal. I am envious…I might actually be able to park in my garage with that much dry space!

[@billybike57]

The attention to detail on your jobs is incredible, I wish more builders would be involved like your guys are.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

thanks billybike

[@abewiebe3438]

Jamie has a great point with flashing vs not flashing properly, so much work goes into our houses, only to have it go to waste if the proper steps aren't executed.

[@jasonlyijnen84]

any house is only good as the outside walls

[@Belly-u2w]

Attention to detail is what makes a pro.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

yep

[@brutusmayhem]

Sunday morning always gonna be good when you get a new Perkins video.

[@markdalton55]

Just for clarification, CCA treated would corrode aluminum. ACQ treated will, in about 200 years, or when the treated is no longer treated. If you were on the West Coast, it’s a different treatment and material. They use Doug Fir. Having said that, I appreciate Jaime’s little flashing jobs and the thought that goes behind all of your details. Peace!

[@steventrostle1825]

I've been watching these guys work for several months and IF I were to build again They would be my ONLY choice for builder. Guess That won't happen because I'm 80 and on the wrong coast but I can dream.

[@zephyr1408]

Shout out to keeps ! I seen it on your sight and I was pretty much bald! Now I hv 80%+ of my hair back ! Thk U Eric!

Good Sunday morning guys

[@wk6976]

Happy to see the boys get some swag. Favourite building show. Thanks for sharing.

[@sekaf4125]

I just retired after 40 yers of commercial painting in southeast alaska. 8' of rain a year. your right about flashing done right. the homes that had and the homes that don't. PLUS the poor people who buy a home with a big high wall don't see all the mistakes up high. Love your work ethic guys. Blessings from alaska

[@theronzimmerman9851]

Texas Electrical Contractor here. I've used those canvase bags for a long time for organizing socket sets, combo wrenches, drill/impact bits, screwdriver sets, specialty stuff like cameras, laser measures and such. I'll have to score some Perkins ones.

[@sjn0202]

Great work, men. Build it like your building it for your own great grand children.

[@Longeno55]

Wishing the Perkins brothers Erik and Jaime along with Ray, Jay, Arlo and Jono a Happy Holiday Season and a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

[@johnmachamer6397]

I heard mold grows easier with multiple layers of vapor barrier.. basically the moisture gets trapped between the layers and NEVER dries. Hope there's a dehumidifier down there. Awesome house 👍

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

yep... a huge industrial one ready to go. Santa Fe Dehumidification

[@keturahcj9]

Absolutely loved that you gave all the team merchandise. You get free advertising and they feel the love.

[@thepagan5432]

The siding looks really good, quite professional 😉 As for the 12" x 2" board fitting on deck support, kudos on the accuracy. The non-basements is huge, I know it will make the plumbers job easier, but it does seem a shame not to use it for something practical. The building does look good. Take care and see you all soon 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨

[@allenand3760]

I would have done like under slab details, vapour barrier, a few inches of crushed rock and then storage for all kinds of stuff like chain saws, lawn mowers etc etc

[@Taghkanic]

I can’t agree. That siding totally cheapens what has otherwise been a very thoughtful build. Did the builder get the siding for free? That raised fake woodgrain is so tacky. Ruining the project for me.

[@vivianschwartfeger]

Another great video. I wake up each morning in New Zealand hoping you’ll have posted. Thanks so much

[@thecrippledhandyman]

Tell Jamie for his tentitis, to try acupuncture. Working with power tools and swinging hammers can take a toll on your elbow. It took 2 sessions of acupuncture for me and it got me 90% better.

[@rockscrambler6700]

I'm with Jamie on this one, that detail with flashing is super critical to get right.

[@pmur079]

Details make all the difference👍👍

Excited I finally caught with this series! Now I get to look forward to sundays even more!

I love you and your brothers content and comments. When someone yelled out to your brother "watch out for your finger" made me laugh out loud!!

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

[@DiHandley]

That subfloor area would make a perfect workshop!

[@jeffreylocke8808]

LP Smartside sounds like a winner to me. IF it is installed correctly of course. And that structural aluminum is the berries. Love that you use flashing to keep water out.

[@Taghkanic]

It’s cheap and hideous. Can’t believe the homeowner approved it.

[@FMFC0RPSMAN]

You guys are alienist at 1 million subs! Well deserved. I appreciate all of the great content and wish you guys built homes in other states.

Jaime is so good with that metal flashing. You guys should build a post frame. The whole thing is wrapped in metal. Bet it would look so good with the attention to detail you do.

sorry guys no checks this week so here some merch 😁

hahaha... checks too luckily

In the future we will look back to this as the monent the PBB crew started what would become the fanciest secret mancave for Jon-O under this lovely home.

[@billgideon5942]

It all comes down to proper installation. If you don’t take all of the proper steps to install it, it probably will fail. But if installed correctly it’s a great product !!!!

I might have missed it while perusing the comments, but doesn't seem anyone mentioned the gifts. Nice job gifting your crew. People leave their job because they don't like the manager and I think you are above that one.

[@kschleic9053]

Two questions: 1. why put the utilities upstairs with so much crawlspace headroom, especially if the crawlspace is going to be conditioned (no vents visible)? 2. Are you going to be doing a blower door test on this house? If so whats your goal

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

the crawl space will be conditioned and contain the mechanicals! good call

[@kschleic9053]

@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers ha nice. I thought I remembered a mechanicals closet upstairs mentioned from the framing episode.

That "not basement" would be a great space to dig out. Pour a floor put a ramp in from the door to the floor. Huge amount of storage space.

Tell Jamie to look at the victory band (v band) for tennis elbow. I had a tennis pro at the racket club tell me about them. It's what they recommend. They are better and more comfortable in my opinion.

[@drewjohnson265]

Seeing you inside that crawl/wall space and how close so much of it seems to basement depth, and then recalling how much work it was for you all to layout the foundation on that hillside - why not just dig the whole thing down to basement depth, even if you did just leave a dirt floor and treat like a crawl space?

[@dansarfert3585]

I'm curious why you choose not to use a rain screen product between your sheathing and LP? I've noticed that on other builds as well.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

hey... good question. Ive got some friends that use a track saw for everything, but it was a tool we just never had as we were learning to build, so we just learned to rip fairly straight by hand and use a table saw when it needed to be straighter
