[@abood2756]

I want to work with you♥️♥️♥️

[@someyoungguy6990]

Erik, I found a KZbin who may be able to help with your office sign. Lift Arc Studio in Roanoke VA. You should check them out.

[@jolookstothestars6358]

In all the videos my family and I have watched we've never seen you use a masking machine. Why?

[@davidtekavec1853]

With Arlo possibly retiring, it would be cool to get a short couple minute bio from him… how long in construction, where did he start, how did he learn, favorite and least favorite jobs, how did he hook up with Perkins… etc etc! Would also like to see how his house renovations ended up!👍🏻🤔

[@rhondamcbride5788]

Super idea!!!!

[@toringeespeland4741]

This needs to happen!!!!

[@Jawiin]

100% agree! The finale of Arlo’s job with you should be for us to admire his beautiful house renovations.

[@vladv.8819]

100% I agree 👍

[@juselara02]

That would be awesome!. That and a video of top 100 Arlo 1000IQ moments. Or Top 100 Arlo tips&Tricks.

[@tmoss7122]

What a bittersweet beginning hearing Arlo might be retiring. I’m happy for him but he has so much knowledge and skill, his presence will certainly be missed.

[@1packatak]

It won’t be the same without Arlo😢😢😢😢

[@jmazoso]

Arlo is one of those tradesmen that make the rest of the crew better. Solid confidence and a living protip.

[@mjnelligan7288]

Hell always be around just not everyday

[@randykurfurst8419]

Get rid milwaukee bits and go with the makita, they don't strip everything out like those worthless milwaukees😊

[@thomastimas]

Mr Arlington was a long time lover to my dear friend Margaret.

[@JmeMari]

I want ARLO to know that he is one of the main reason I enjoy watching you guys so much. He is clearly very knowledgable and talented. Please don't retire, ARLO!!

[@utego]

If Arlo does retire, I hope he still swings by the job sites here and there. He reminds me so much of my incredible grandpa who I miss dearly.

[@jolenedouglas501]

Arlo is so good at what he does. But like others. He knows it’s time to hang up his tool belt. The older bodies make it a bit more difficult to carry out a good days work. Arlo will not completely retire. He is as smart as they come. Love you Arlo.

[@haileycohen8180]

With all do respect, Arlo is not allowed to retire.

[@kamakazi832]

The hole let jamie talk could be his own channel for yall i would almost bet there are people that would love all the extra details or knowledge or nerdyness lol

[@ZanDeeMan]

Yup. As an expert myself, he tends to over-explain things which is great for beginners, (I mean this in the best way possible!) He certainly needs his own platform because he would thrive. I just wish they let Arlo do that, I could never get enough because you know he has some insanely valuable tips & insight. It'll be sad if he retires because it's like losing grandma's entire cook book without cracking a page. At least we got to witness his mastery.

[@govolsfightvolsfight2908]

Don't leave the show Arlo! I completely understand retiring, but the knowledge you bring to us the viewers and the crue is priceless and can't be replaced! Retire, but come help the brothers rather often!

[@shiloo]

Arlo deserves a big retirement gift ❤

[@maxiepax99]

@PerkinsBuilderBrothers, this was a great idea, If Arlo does retire, setup a gofundme or something so we can send him off on a nice vacation.

[@summitcraftwork]

How about a week of labor from the crew to finish up Arlo’s house projects.

[@chadlegaultgmail]

Ya, like a T-shirt in the Perkins store that says " Let Arlo Retire" and all proceeds go to Arlo.

[@AndersonFamilyHomesNV]

Pro Tip: use an actual screw driver when final tightening screws onto fragile surfaces like small tiles. 😁

[@Beandiptheredneck]

I always just used my impact gun and went by feel. Never cracked anything

[@jorojiga]

You can also use a stainless steel screwdriver to avoid rust in those screws

[@crashingstoans7907]

Thanks Eric for the time and work required to make these videos, and for Jaime and the crew for taking the time to do the job right, small details and all. Sure going to miss Arlo if he retires, and Ramelle when her house is finished. She seems like a nice lady.

[@Luddethecoolibo]

In my humble opinion the Vevor commercials are better than all the pre-made meal- and miracle vitamin-ads

vevor ads are the only ones I watch honestly, because there is a chance I might buy/need one of these. I've been shaving my head for the last two decades, you think I'm gonno buy those hair products?

[@imraneo]

Exactly! Vevor commercials are the only ones I won't fast-forward...

[@ambermorgan1340]

🙋‍♀️ I have not only been tempted to undo a one way flat head screw in a bathroom, but have done it. At church. As a young mom I took a pair of pliers and a some vice clamps in my diaper bag to church order to undo the door stop in the women's bathroom stall & switch it around. That way the door would swing out instead of in. Then at least one stall could be used without getting my dress in the toilet every time I entered the stall. It also made it way easier to "go" while wrangling two toddler girls. That was over 25 years ago and the last time I went to that building, about 10 years ago, no one had changed it back. 😂

[@WayneSmith-yf3fg]

I've been convinced that if it's a Phillips Head, throw it out!

[@Longeno55]

I think butcher block counters could become a trend. They look killer! You are awesome too! All the best guys!

[@ramellesmith1520]

Thanks for appreciating my choice for countertops. Not my first time having them!

[@MrDhandley]

I think your client has really good taste. Those bench tops look fabulous!

[@Trekev]

You guys need a set of vampliers for situations like 13:10. They've seriously saved my butt so many times than I can count and they work like magic removing broken screws!

[@handyByLeVere]

Arlo could start a channel dispensing construction wisdom /tips!!!

[@marigeobrien]

Aaaah! Look at all that counter top! That's a baker's dream kitchen.

[@HingleMcCringle35]

Love the steve Winwood bit at the beginning lol

[@Simon-T.]

Pro Tip: Find an Arlo! He's such a great member of the team it would be a shame if he retires. The house is so close to finishing and it looks great. I love the butcher blocks as a counter top. Ramelle is going to have the best home.

[@johnnyrocker73]

Great video! The discussion on screws at the end is epic.

[@peterleishman431]

You guys need a track saw and a router joint with clamps

[@mikeinmaryland]

Perhaps you can bring Arlo in for stair stringers and other things from time to time. Good for him.

[@2chipped]

Nooooo,Arlooo. While cutting that countertop,in my mind I was saying ya'll should use that flat planed circular cutting machine with a splinter guard.😅 But I give you props for a nice free-hand cut! And many kudos for sealing the bottom of the tops as well! For cutting in the sink a 4 inch holesaws in the corners,then using the forbidden tool for the straights. Really enjoy watching your crew work!

[@handbannana3610]

Funny hearing you guys talk about drilling tile and security screws. My company installs partitions and commercial bathroom accessories. I have guys that have been with us for over 20 years and have drilled more than 2 million holes in tile. First, for tile you want to get some of the sharp carbide bits. The glass and tile work ok but the gold standard is from a company called relton. Tile is much tougher than you think once it’s grouted and you can give it a few hits with the impact. The torx bits with the center pin are usually T-27 they have almost completely replaced the one way flat heads, which were very easy to cam out of and skate across the face of finished material. The security screw thing is mostly driven by parks and schools which see a lot of vandalism, as well as some of the stainless and aluminum components being valuable for recycling. It’s a good idea to pre thread backing with stronger steel screw of the same thread before using stainless screws.

[@mvcharisma2968]

The purpose of double square, torx and triple square bits are it has more surface area for the bit to bite into, and is less likely to strip or round out

[@user-hy1qu2pg2d]

The security screws Jono was referring to were used on our “old school “ cable TV boxes to prevent tampering and getting premium channels 😳 Not that we ever did that 😜

[@dmklim]

Wow! Double square bits is something new for me!

[@troyqueen9503]

Time you got a track saw , game changer.

[@whomeverwherever]

I seriously was just thinking the other day how much I miss seeing Arlo on some of the vids and how he probably is winding down towards a much deserved retirement. Things just aren’t and won’t be the same without him though. Hopefully whenever he does retire, he’ll still visit sometimes to see what you guys are up to and perhaps you’ll still be able to help him with whatever projects he may have in the future.

[@riptiz]

Drilling holes in tiles is easy if you drill a piece of scrap wood and use the wood as a guide for your tile cutter.

[@MOUTHonesixtyseven]

let Jamie talk more lol, his rants are high quality and always interesting

[@matthewt6026]

When routing the countertop Jamie was routing in the wrong direction causing a climb cut. When routing the outside edge from above move in a counter clockwise direction, better cut and its safer. Plus, it won't want to run away from you as Jamie mentioned. Love watching the channel!

[@thomasdefaye5443]

I was checking comments to see if anyone else noticed

[@liamfoxy]

Sounds like with an opening on the crew it's time to bring in Perkins Jr. full time!

[@robertnash2446]

Why dont you clamp a straight edge on that butcher block as a fence...or use a track saw.. to cut that counter top.

[@sgwsteve1665]

Those nets are awesome on the palm sander too. They work amazingly well and last forever

[@2006klaus]

Man! As a tool and hardware guy, I really enjoy these videos. From the construction, to the discussion of bolts and screws, to the pro tips on tools and bits. I love it!

[@wildcritters5297]

Shout out to the GOAT Steve Winwood

[@brjinx]

Those sanding nets are nice when you have a sander than hooks to a vacuum. It will pull the dust through the net into the vacuum.

[@matthewwright8216]

I just hung some grab bars on tile wall last week. Cheap tile drilling bit from home depot worked great.(ryobi bits) i started at smallest diameter then worked up through the síze to get the diameter I wanted. Worked much easier than i thought. I did the same thing you did with lexel. I also found those snap on covers over the screws to be a royal pain in the @ss.

[@SQULLIE81]

Loving the debate about a screw 😅

[@alexgarvey-welch.748]

In the automotive industry in the UK we call them spline drive screws. Slightly different to Torx drive. Keep up the great work fellas.

[@richshan529]

You guys absolutely crack me up!!! I enjoy every one of your videos!

[@markrichter7504]

Arlo should be the star of "This old House"! He's the best! Maybe he'll spin off his own show like "better call Saul"

[@williamdrake2315]

Arlo is the man!

[@tcarewofky]

A suggestion on your Stainless Steel Screws; purchase two good Klein Phillips Screwdrivers #2 and #3 and hand drive your stainless screws. You will be very pleased!

[@SteveSam66]

just like puttin creamer in your coffee... LOL Jaime!

[@carolewarner101]

Wow, it's really coming together guys. You just keep knocking off those last niggly jobs and you'll be done before you know it! Looks fantastic!

3/26/24: Dear PBBs. FYI, I have now heard at least four other construction/rehab vlogers mention that that have learned this or that from watching the Perkins Builder Brothers! Two were oversees: one England another Belgium (I think). Congratulations! I said, “Hey, I watch them too!”

[@KarlDorling]

Mad skills!! I would never attempt that cut without using a plunge saw..

[@Grampafox]

I used a Lowes butcher block counter tops, two actually, for a big island in my last kitchen remodel, and we treated it with just mineral oil. It’s been three years and holding up well in a kitchen that gets used a LOT!

There is so much brotherly 💕 love!! You guys make me sick!

Oh, and happy up coming good Friday! God bless!

[@jimk5307]

On the stainless screws, get the same screw but non-stainless. Run it into the hole first then place the stainless screw.

[@anthonyg1968]

Something you guys you start doing is making video if various tools and instructions on how to use them. Like, I wish you would have went into more detail about the router. As long as I have been doing carpentry, I have never used the router. But I have one and don't know properly how to use it, what bits to use, etc... would make a great series

[@totallybonkers]

I really like the butcher block top! Very nice ❤ Great episode, as usual

Hey guys!! Happy PALM Sunday to you all!! KUTGW

[@mattperkins1767]

The screws on your trailer are a double square so that installation is faster for the metal hangers. You use a regular #2 bit

[@mafei1517]

Awsome show guys. Me and my kids love to see you working and making fun. The sanding pads are made for sanders with dust collection. So the vacuum can suck the dust right through the sanding pad. Awesome idea

[@rickwatson1000]

Arlo is the man

[@scubagoat9208]

The double square truss head screws (Roberson)make it easier to get on driver when installing. Think of your dry wall guys when their hanging sheets.

[@Kal-El1938]

In Canada square bit screws are very common and named after their Canadian inverntor P.L Robertson. Their advantagea over other types are the tapered wall of the square which helps to guide the bit into the square more easily and keep the bit in the square more effectively so the bit is less likely to wander. I use them all the time as they are much harder to strip compared to a Phillips style screw.

[@ALLworldCONSTRUCTIONLLC]

It’s reason is that it’s a security bit. Makes it harder to remove for the average Joe. On campers, bathrooms and trailers

[@markdalton55]

Have Argo spend some time with Jason and Ray to pass his knowledge along. He’s very much worth. Pretty sure Jamie and Erik have picked up enough of his prowess. ❤❤😎😎👍

[@debraimmer260]

obviously you cant cover everything, but would have liked to see Jamie talk about fastening countertops to base cabinets and how the butt joints where fastened to each other.

[@tonyschumann5850]

I believe those are security screws on the trailer door, gentlemen.

[@dennisoestermann1880]

I can just imagine that Jamie touches the wood with his metal fingers and saying its super smooth :P

[@smcox1991]

“Get that Volvo out of my way before I drive over that thing” reminds me of gone in 60 seconds and where’s my damn Volvo? 😂😂

You should see how to do a 'Mason Mitre Joint' using a jig for your next worktop install. And I think the 'Box Screws' on the side of the trailer are from the aircraft building trade. 🙏🏽

[@boogiewoogiebubbleboy2877]

Thanks, guys, for another entertaining video. I want to start off with Arlo. It will be a real shame when the time comes for him to retire. 😔 Just take a moment to reflect on all that experience you guys will loose when Arlo leaves. Experience that took years of hard work and dedication to achieve.👏 As the quotes say. Erik & Jamie bear the Perkins name, that part is true, but the show would not be the same without the full 'band of brothers' which includes, in no particular order of importance. Jono, Ray, Jason and Arlo, the shows very own adopted Perkins band of brothers.🫡 When you think about it. They all contribute their own particular skill set. Whether it be a time served apprentice or a general labourer. Each brother has a skill to make this family show a good all round entertaining and quite often, informative show. Great job guys.🤘⚒️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@leann4925]

Awesome countertop and lots of room to prepare meals. Enjoyed learning how to use a router. Grab bars in a bathroom is a must when you get older so at least your prepared. Enjoyed and thanks.

[@chrisruf2967]

I am sad to hear that this might it for Arlo.I wish him the best, I am always impressed with his knowledge and skills. I am sure Jamie will miss his ability to work together to come up with the best method in solving issues. I was hoping to see Arlo's finish house and if he did anything with his boat house. Maybe in the future, Eric will bring the crew over and do a surprise episode on Arlo's build. I will miss him.
