[@user-wp8zp9nk6y]

Давно я вас не видела ребята❤привет из Москвы

[@dinkherring2213]

Pro tip for you. Keep a tube of cherry chapstick, cheap red lipstick, even a crayon in the toolbox. When you're installing the latch flange, rub a dab on the latch and close the door. It will transfer the lipstick to the jamb, showing you exactly where the latch hits

[@tycham85]

I used the contact form on your website, but haven’t gotten a response. Hope this note finds you well! How would a fan contract the Perkins Bros to build a home?

[@ramellesmith1520]

@PerkinsBuilderBrothers and crew - Thanks for your attention detail throughout the build of my home. I know the last bits were annoying and time consuming and now that I have been in my home for two weeks + I really appreciate that the doors close properly, the rain chain drains, touch up paint got done, etc! You all truly are the best!

[@mr.dragoncrypto4138]

Enjoy that amazing home. The deck is so sick!

[@Eshy0]

heyyy ramelle

[@ingabarney5763]

Happy living in your new home Ramelle

[@loongsout]

Happy new house 😀

[@byronandlouhilley3339]

Loved watching your build. You should have a wrap party…and invite us all!! Enjoy your beautiful home!

[@gasmokeeater1284]

PRO TIP! When placing striker plates, place a piece of aluminum tape over the hole, then hold the bolt open, close the door and release the bolt with just enough to leave a indent on the tape. You now know exactly where to put your plate. 8:39

[@kylemcweeny878]

That's actually pretty perfect

[@joeatkins4470]

"It's hard to convince water to do the right thing" Never a truer word spoken! :)

[@shawnstroh5601]

Hope you guys throw a huge send off episode of Arlo all his great moments etc. Legendary craftsmanship.

[@lutherT13]

Can't believe that its been over 4 year and i haven't miss a single episode of you guys. From building a house start to finish till modern retirement home build. Wow what a journey and feels like it was yesterday that i start watching you guys

[@cromotocciano]

Even when i'm bussy and can't watch, the first day off I get I'll do a small marathon of vids and catch up. It's a joy.

[@aaronthiel9857]

My Wife wanted a rain chain on the front of our home. Although I wasn't keen on it, I much prefer being married! So, like the good man I am to my Wife, I agreed. It's turned out to be a very good install on our home and, when it's raining, it is a very nice item to sit and enjoy on the front porch. Another good ideas feom my Bride!

[@wno1043]

Love these guys! They remind me of my brothers-in-law who were in construction, and I worked with them for about 1 1/2 years (maybe 2). Nothing more fun than home remodeling and construction. Years later, my wife and I started our own ceramic tile installation business. We did that for about 20 years!

[@willcallcool]

Sad that it's almost over but new projects and I'm sure the homeowner is happy to have the house all to herself enjoy

[@garrettrcrane]

I am very pleased to hear that you guys take water flow very seriously. Unfortunately we bought a brand new house that the water was not thought of at all and now there is so much mold in the crawl space that we cannot live in our house.

[@LKBean]

Can't believe we're nearing the end of this build. It's been what I look forward to every morning before I start work. Amazing stuff.

[@Hobocreekfarm]

Ramelle, love the rain chain. A suggestion for the box at the bottom would be to put moss or other plants that love water or being damp. The would thrive there and help stop any erosion. Yay for a good sink also.

[@ramellesmith1520]

Thanks. I installed rocks on top of the grate for now. I’ll get the landscaping. Right now I am still trying to get the interior situated. It’s going to be awhile longer in that! And do glad I found an in stock sink that I liked and even though it was the next grade down in stainless steel it had a better rim!

[@ohasis8331]

@@ramellesmith1520 I'd be inclined to put a flattish rock under the end of the drain outlet to help prevent any scouring action.

[@Cobalt135]

When I installed a rain chain here I landscaped the area with river pebbles/river rock that were between 1" and 2" in diameter about 4 feet out from the bottom drain catch on each side. Then placed some larger rocks scattered about on the pebbles to make a rock garden area so that any splashing during heavier rains keeps the soil or mulch from washing away.

[@joshuayoung2643]

Case in point about the doors. My in-laws have an amazingly huge hardwood front door that in the winter didn't latch good because the installers did not take the time to adjust the plate. There's 2 ways of doing things: the right way and again. Door lock devices on top of door trim is essential for kids.

[@Conor-je5wo]

A nice way I was thought by an experienced carpenter in relation to finding the exact location for the latch plate on the door frame was to rub the lead of your pencil up and down on the latch then close the door and just pull the handle down and let it spring back up open the door and the lead should leave a mark exactly where the latch will close into the latch plate. Works everytime and saves so much time.

[@michaelcahill6682]

Great build. Squirrels are going to love the rain chain

[@LaidbackFred]

Click back opposite direction when tightening the drill chuck to lock it.😊

[@Dagrond]

That was a brilliant choice of her's on that rain chain.

[@ramellesmith1520]

Thank you! It’s beautiful and functional!

[@larserikengholm]

im so glad that every door and frame you buy in norway ar fabricated with that in the hardware so we dont need to do it :)

[@kristiangoransson6104]

I was just about to comment that exact thing. Adjustable hinges and just use a screwdriver to adjust the strike plate by bending it.

[@RiyaK0506]

Wow! That Rain chain is beautiful! For some reason i thought it would sound similar to a wind chime, with water contacting metal, sort of like a water chime, but it sounds way better! I cant imagine how wonderful it would feel to sit on that deck on a rainy day, a nice cup of hot cocoa, and the sound of rainwater on copper!! Precision and attention to detail is always a quality displayed by the Perkins crew!! Beautifully done!

[@marymigliore3396]

Wow, You are doing such a wonderful job on the house !! So much detail !! You always go the extra mile to make things work & look right !! I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!

[@cliffblackburn8102]

Pro tip if you need to move the strike plate down you can always glue golf tees or make little wood plugs and move the plate and no problem with new screw holes

[@donaldmcavoy5712]

Rain-chain=refined experience.

[@RPHelpingHand]

I was not originally sold on wall colors but now I really like them.

[@twistingterrain7748]

I did a rain chain at my place into a large planter pot that matched others we had in the yard. At the bottom I put a grate that goes into a ground tube. Works awesome

[@VitotheGutterguy]

I do these with heat tape down the chain as we live with snow and ice!!! Gutterman out. Thanks guys.

[@jeffking6670]

A whole show about adjusting one door.

[@jamesmarks8099]

I always install the door then locate the latch, then use a chisel to make the recess for the latch plate and drill a hole.

[@blakeandtim937]

Love how Jamie's paddle bit at 2:55 showcases the "wagon wheel effect". That was a cool shot!

[@PhilRable]

The greatest understatement of the century; “it’s hard to convince water to do the right thing”. 😂 Tell that to a farmer

[@JeanRoi]

Well the rain chain was a first for sure. Very nice.

[@dave311281]

U should use a pencil to colour in the latch when hanging the doors, then when close it u can see exactly where the catch plate should be on the frame.

[@jorgeaguilar8318]

Admit it….Jaime is always “heaven sent” whenever a special tool is required (the door notch case)!

[@sundeki8880]

You can put chalk on den latch and close the door and it will show you exactly where the catch should end up

[@delvinjenkinssr7470]

Water is a beast!!

[@helend222]

The rain chain is fabulous but could be noisy in a wild storm.

[@milesharlan1]

I made boys!! I finally got a chance to watch the video! You guys doing something special for Arlos' birthday?? It is the big 70! You all need to take him out or buy him a nice tool? Thank you, guys! KUTGW 😊

[@troyqueen9503]

I use cabinet bumpers on the jamb to make it a quieter fit 👍🏝️🇨🇦

[@surfart5448]

when I've missed vertically, I remove the plate fill the holes with wood glue and match sticks, let it dry cut it clean and adjust the plate, pencil to new screw hold, give a good eye-ball look and screw the plate on again.

[@scotts4125]

To make your life easy they make lock installation tools. Part of the kit is rectangle striking blocks with blades on all 4 edges to get the outline of the strikeplates and bolts that need to be mortised. The other part looks like a small pointy plumb bob. After the crossbore and latch/bolt holes are drilled for the lockset you insert the plumb bob thingie into the latch/bolt hole. It has a point on it. Hold the door closed and give a slight tap and it perfectly marks the center of the frame for a perfect alignment. The other tip is if you don't have that tool install the deadolt or latch and put some lipstick on it. Work it in and out a couple of times. It will mark the frame where to drill. It also works to adjust or grind a strikeplate where the bolt/latch is hitting. I'm an automotive locksmith but every once in a while I have to do someone a favor so I have these tools and always have the lipstick for adjustments.

[@tracymankey9314]

You guys are amazing I have never seen contractors take that much pride in there work❤

[@rickyborden3287]

Definitely going to order a couple of those cameras to keep an eye on jobsites! Getting those doors right is always a pain, I've seen a bunch of guys just slap everything together and take no time to make sure it's right. I think the rain chain would have been better if it was one like Arlo was talking about, just the chain, the cups are making it way to splashy.

[@stevenbacon3878]

For striker plate can start off with masking tape on wood and pencil dust on striker then drag on tape to leave mark for where to cut out.

[@user-nh2wz4zb6g]

It’s funny how excited men get about their tools. 😂

[@JLuckBlog]

Don't let Arlo retire.gonna miss seeing the Wizard go.

[@jeffschulteis9168]

Third sink is the charm 😊

[@steve-cy3nk]

You guys are so funny and awesome I love watching you guys I’m in the same work and I learn a lot from you guys

[@westbound1348]

I think this is my favorite build. The hanging chain is great, I think I may check them out. Could you have hanging storage rack in the crawl space or a floating floor? Looking forward to the next build.

[@buildlife]

We build cabins in southeastern KY on KZbin but in real life I own a roofing an siding Co. West of Chicago. We have 4 gutter trucks and I have never installed a rain chain. I always think they are pretty neat but have never installed one. We'll have to find a guinea pig and give it a go! Really cool guys!

[@ChrisFullerton-xn3gy]

Omg. One of my pet peeves, is a door that won’t latch perfect. You should be able to gently close the door, with just a light swing of the door. I always install the door handle before I hang the door/jamb. I also have had to use that rotary rasp occasionally 🤗

[@Gaiartemis]

The rainspout is awesome!!

[@cliffblackburn8102]

Pretty smooth move though with the file though 💯✌🏻

[@JanetRatch0108]

I loved the rain chain!!!

[@guitar4402]

I really enjoy watching your work.Big fan from Thailand.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Awesome, thank you!

[@twx8626]

I loved the rain necklace :)❤

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff fellas! 😃👍🏼👊🏼

[@tylermundy7985]

Love it! Helpful stuff

[@sammosher1812]

With that close of a fit on the latch plate the door is going to sag/wear-in and it will stop latching in the near future. I'd suggest filing that down for more clearance so you don't have a call-back.

[@trevorball71]

you guys might know this pro tip but on a chucked drill if you tighten it all the way then 1/4 backwards it locks the chuck 🙂

[@albertorozco5981]

Awesome rain gutter.

[@54mgtf22]

Love your work 👍

[@richardrutsch8960]

If you lock down the chuck and rotate back a bit, you will feel it click. When it clicks, it locks the chuck.

[@MrSippiMekong]

“Hard to convince water to do the right thing.” Well said. Water is unaware of its destructive power, is amoral, and only “interested” in the laws of physics.

[@jaydoherty8402]

The rain chain is so cool! Nice to see everything coming together. 🙂

[@BasketballMan224]

Another great video!

[@darlene4232]

Awesome on the water spout

[@marigeobrien]

That rain chain is so cool. I do think the lower funnels should be a little bigger, maybe graduate the size as it descends....? Rain-chain 2.0. LOL!

[@carlstineman274]

Rain Chain: I hope it only rains on calm days. Spreads some gravel or something around the grate to catch the water that misses the grate, otherwise erosion? Massive ice cycles in winter? Strong enough to bare the weight?

[@gregcotner4126]

As a Locksmith I can appreciate the need for precision in regards to the strike plate.

[@rgarlinyc]

I'd never seen a rain-chain before - pretty cool, lemme tellya! The whole house is coming together so well, it's great to see you guys work!

[@Kristina_Australia]

Last week I commented that I didn't mind the end bits your doing and would like to see door knob installation, yay for me, I got to see that, thank you. Love the rain chain, thanks for showing how it worked as yes it would have been anti-climatic. Thanks for another great episode 🎉

[@dawncaulder2837]

The house looks AWESOME guys. The attention you give to detail is amazing. It shows just how much you care. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

[@tonybrigner3866]

the house is lookin awesome guys thank you guys for what you do great information if a person is building a home

[@f.v.r.8157]

Around 20.20 p.m. here in the netherlands now..... I was waiting all day for the new episode from PBB.. 😃 Happy sunday you all👋🤓

[@greybear3090]

its a good day when the Perkins guys are out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

hey thanks!!!

[@Ninoy2059]

It looks very nice. My only concern would be mud will end up in that drain and will clog eventually if the rain was hard. I would put a guard wall around the drain.

[@ramellesmith1520]

I put rocks around and on the grate to deter mud issues.

[@shawnstroh5601]

As someone who does track homes out here in az I appreciate the time you guys take. We hardware 4 houses ranging from 1800 to 3k plus and get them done in about 6 hours. just two guys.

[@sergeihanush2262]

door closes and slams wood on wood. Install thin protectant/door sealer in the door frame to make closing softer

[@w2ttsy670]

9:45 hilti dx460 is a boss when you need a PAN. Although that said, the charge type is a big determinant in noise. My guess is they would be using yellow caps with the power adjustment rolled right out to hang that VB sheeting or it would just punch right through. If you use reds or blacks and have the power dialed in, it sounds more like a .22lr pistol than a stapler.

[@danielrandolph9170]

Nice tape job on the gutter basin lol !! Good video guys yal stay safe !!

[@brayton6683]

😂 they be using Zip tape for everything I wonder how long that gonna hold

[@fuegoman45]

Lexcel has become a verb.

[@leann4925]

Sure did like how you sealed the crawl space. At one time lived in a duplex with a crawl space and had to put a dehumidifier in it as there was rock flooring only. Great job on that. Enjoyed watching and thanks. Also I have a door that need fixed and now know how to fix it.

[@shaneoakley8757]

“He’s encapsulated” absolutely killed me. You guys should do dad joke videos.

[@jhaveruk1]

7:47 add a couple cabinetry clear hemispherical rubber bumpers top and bottom of the door jamb on the latch side, to deaden the wood on wood sound when closing. Love the solid sound of it after!

[@E30ShedSkid]

I like the kitchen set up. I have done the same in a few kitchens. $200 birch butcher block at menards and fancy stainless sink. Very affordable and looks great.

[@ryan37362]

Anytime I set up door locks, I use blue painters tape to mark where things touch/line up. It helps a ton for figure out placement without having a to erase pencil marks off finished surfaces.

[@jordanmoss8140]

2 in foam board should be on those walls if you’re doing an encapsulation

[@cosmicking7979]

Rain Chains are cool, mainly for design and sound, Japanese culture use it alot

[@Effy2123]

The latch and keep cut outs are pure wood butchery from your door supplier! If these were in the UK you’d have to replace the door and frame or repair it. They’d never pass the inspection, can’t believe this is pretty standard

[@thepagan5432]

Good job with the non-basement, and the rain chain is good. The music was cool too, reminded me of Santana. I bought a special jig for kitchen tops, it works great with my large router. One episode left, hope Ramelle is happy with the house and gets to enjoy living so close to nature. We moved 4 years ago, into a forest and we both wished we had done it years ago, no neighbors and owls hooting all night and foxes and badgers fighting at 3 am. Life is good, take care guys 👍

[@Dustin922]

You guys are so much fun to watch. Hoping you can build a house for my wife and I one day in Maggie valley. One thing I wanted to mention with the crawl space is do you have an exit point for any water that may come up under the encapsulation? I doubt you’d ever need it but our house gets water underneath our vapor barrier all the time.

[@khass110]

Striker alignment-- Sharpie mark on center of flat side of striker. Blue tape on jamb. Close door, and transfer Sharpie mark to tape. Now you have up-down alignment.
