Alaskan fan here. I genuinely hope everyone weathered the storm without any loss of life, limb, or property. The devastation in western N. Carolina is tremendous and all-encompassing, and we hope you are all well and will continue to be into the future. Best of luck and best wishes to the whole crew!!

I'm in southwest Virginia and that storm was awful... I had a tree fall hit the side of my house and crushed my back porch and luckily it didn't destroy all of my wood working tools... It almost crushed my car that i had in the driveway.. i got off easy a lot of people down here are still without power and trees down everywhere. My work is sending people 2 hours up the road to help with cleanup around the community near 1 of our facilities

[@CatzRuleZWorld]

The Perkins build about 30 min north from me. My house had lots of rain but no wind or flooding at all. I assume they didn’t have any more than some trees in the road, thankfully.

Me toooo, I jumped on this as soon as I saw it uploaded. I was praying for them and hoping nothing untoward happened with the hurricane.

“…over there pee’ing in the gas tank” Almost spit out my drink. Thx guys. Positive thoughts and donations to WNC.

[@netposerx]

Jamie foreshadowing things to come. Gonna be tough getting supplies now.

[@JedChristiansen]

I know you all were talking about the worst case scenario of having a deck fall off your house... but that happened to me! When I was a kid our next door neighbor had a party on their 2nd-story deck when we heard a big crack and the whole thing collapsed. One guy was paralyzed, I broke my ankle badly. And it was from exactly what you mentioned - the framing of the deck wasn't well secured to the house, fasteners rusted, and... boom. So +100 to the advice you're giving on that front!

[@mdelong]

Glad to hear you are all In Good shape.

[@tammiehardersen7466]

Glad you are all safe. Prayers to all affected and hope your community is getting all the help and supplies needed.

[@patriciamathis7042]

I definitely send Love and Prayers from New England for you, your crew, their families, and everyone affected by the most recent storms.

[@stevenmartin97]

Great to see you and your families are OK, keep on building, prayers from the PNW.

[@MrTxnok]

I am VERY glad to hear you guy's are doing "OK" considering what has happened. Stay safe!!!!

[@Gantorin]

Coming from the east coast of Florida, hope you all were safe and okay from Helene. Tragic watching what has been going on, but areas of Florida I lived at for many years are gone now. Hope things improve there, and hope all are safe.

[@matthewgrover8863]

My heart goes out to your local communities. Please be safe and protect your loved ones.

[@MatthewPierce9]

Thankful to hear you are good.

[@JUSTINtime518]

Much Love And Respect. From New York. Been living in Greensboro North Carolina. Just had a couple nights of rain, didn’t think much of it. Saw on the news how bad Western North Carolina was hit. First thing that came in my head was “man I hope the Perkins crew and family are ok”. Much Love!

[@WBcrAsh]

Glad y’all made it through Helene. I live on the gulf coast in Florida and had to evacuate. My thoughts are with everyone who was impacted in any way. Love the channel. Thanks for the knowledge and entertainment

[@Wico90YT]

Glad you guys and the project all made it though the hurricane

[@benpyeatt9986]

Glad you guys are all okay. I live in Northeast Georgia, and we got hit pretty hard but not flooding like you guys have. Praying for all affected and their families.

[@ebenclukey7293]

Love me some Perkins builder boys & crew.

[@kirkdesmond]

Thanks for explaining the GRK Fasteners and how those work. Pro tip all the way.

[@FranWhitten]

Also, been praying all of you were ok from the storm. Guess by now, Eric, you know the sound was intermittent on this video; fine for me cause I use CC. Take care; this build is so awesome, for the size and diversity.See you next time!

[@debraimmer260]

So glad to see you are all ok

[@pats1010]

All the best to you guys and the community.

[@raystormont]

Anchorlube, It's the green slime from Ghostbusters for metal workers. You should have a squeeze bottle on your truck at all times. Your metal bits and the men who drill holes in metal will thank you. And as as added bonus the electric drills themselves will also thank you. Ray

[@danielspano3406]

Thanks for putting out a video with all that’s going on. 🤙

[@azizkarim8106]

I love Jamie's pro tips!

[@michaelc.3812]

This is a selfish question as PBB is my favorite channel on KZbin, and not having videos on Thursdays and Sundays is a big disappointment for me (and likely a million other subscribers): The question I pose surrounds the future of this project and the delays you will face in getting to the job site, to having power (thank goodness for your generators), for the concrete batch plant, for the companies that supply all of the materials, and for the homeowners (and so much more). I expect that you will put together an update video at some point in time, fairly soon, where you give us an update and let us know how we can help you all. I will faithfully watch the videos you put out, Eric, probably twice, and if it’s months of cutting trees and helping neighbors get their homes repaired, I’m in.

[@westfarnsworth9651]

[@rochelle1117]

Thanks for posting the donation link. I've been looking for local options to get funds as directly to the locals as possible. Hopefully it helps!

[@Joseph-jx8bl]

Thank you for the entertainment and education! I still miss Arlo in your crew. I hope he’s enjoying his “retirement”. Hopefully you guys and your families are safe and not dealing with too many issues in wake of that hurricane. Thanks again and all the best to you and yours. KEEP HAMMERING! P.S. Let Jay know I’m sure a lot of people are impressed with his growth over the last few years. Yours Truly, Joseph Seattle WA Love the tool belt BTW

[@johnthomas8797]

What you need to get for that much drilling, is called tap magic its a gel that sticks to the drill bits and helps to reduce heat.

[@MHolt3573]

It is some awesome stuff.

[@OrlandoBoneshirt]

I'm glad everyone is ok there. Awesome video!!

[@tlars36]

Thoughts and prayers with all of you all down there!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Stay strong boys and keep it up the awesome work! Our best wishes for you. Im happy the storm didnt affect you.

When Eric was talking about the "deck falling off" I heard it with Scott Brown's accent and giggled like a little child. 😅

I'm learning a hell of a lot following this build series and laughing the whole way thru. Can't wai to see how this one turns out. U guys build some the coolest houses

[@joshdickson-hl5vr]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="405">6:45</a> Always line your metal materials up first then drill your holes. I’ve learned that the hard way like you.

[@Chillituber]

Great tips. Glad Jammie did not explain rabbiting😂

[@jmazoso]

Hey guys, better check that those Grade 8 bolts are ok. We typically don’t use those for structural steel, they are too brittle. Structural bolts are A325.

[@GraingerProductions]

A quick google indicates grade 8 is higher standard and higher strength.

[@lamontcossey2504]

Hey guys, try spraying WD 40 on the bit while you're drilling. It will help displace the heat. Allowing you to drill the hole faster and extend the life of your drill bit's sharpness.

[@loro3849]

The storm is going to make supplies even harder to get.

[@willy-pabl0]

Makes me laugh every time. Thanks for bringing some great content and consistent laughs, gents.

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

Try continuously squirting oil on the drill bit when you are drilling through metal. It should help with the friction.

[@MrKnotWright]

Pro TIP, when ripping stuff like that 2x12, clamp a set of vice grip pliers to the front end of the shoe and WHAM BAM thank ya mam makes it easy peasy cutting that dado

[@AnichM2nd]

Hey bros! Stay safe out there! Love the content. I'm having a dickens of a time getting materials myself. Thanks for all the pro tips. Even us theatre carps can use them.

[@michaelfarmer537]

Another great episode guys! You guys are such an amazing crew and I can’t wait to see this mungo house finished up!! 😮😅

[@tylerbarrett6652]

If you guys are going to keep working with steel, you may want to invest in one of those mag drills - an electromagnet holds the drill firmly in place, and then it works like a drill press you can set in any direction. I've seen people use them as core-drills to get through concrete also like if you forgot to bring a sewer line inside your foundation.... I've even seen them drill through stone - someone will fabricate a steel bracket to hold the drill as it makes the hole. I know Jesse Muller has one now... and I think Jake Rosenfeld has one - in case you wanted to see one at work. Great to see you all okay after this storm... and that you are back hard at work, like usual. Thanks for sharing so much of your lives with us.

[@apdj94]

They said in the video they had a mag drill (probably Jamie’s) but they lost the chuck key lol

[@tylerbarrett6652]

@@apdj94 - Oh - I missed that, my bad. I guess my ears are on the fritz again...

[@jayrymer2097]

Yall are basically Ironworkers now with all those beams you put in. Hanging and banging 🤙

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

That catch at the end of drilling steel can be avoided. You can feel/hear when the bit is about to punch through, at that point reduce the pressure you are pushing on the drill. It will slide right through the steel then without snatching your wrist. Drill a couple hundred holes and you get the feel for it.

[@heathmix3204]

Hope you all are doing well. I know you are dealing with a LOT hope ya'll are good.

We used to use a very similar two part apoxy on military aircraft in the 80s & 90s. I found the hard way as a young airmen about the white part hardening up. 😮😮😮😮😮

[@beccachurch]

AWSOME tips!

[@1pestman]

Borrow a mag drill. And use some cutting fluid. Been there, burned up drill bits. And a long right angle handle on the drill saves broken hand bones. 😢 Just a question, but do you brush and blow out your concrete drill holes for the epoxy? You dont show this, but if you don't your bond is to the dust not the solid concrete. Another lesson learnt the hard way. Watching from NZ. Learn a lot from what you do.

[@mikeisley4445]

Hope y'all didn't have alot of damage I know it was heartbreaking what I have seen it's been a lot of us in alamance county NC have been bringing alot of supplies up there keep up the awesome work guys 💯💯

You are correct my daughter bought a house they used interior drywall screws on everything. You can't even back the screws out the head just comes off when you try to back them out.

[@ChrisLoganToronto]

Happy to see you were able to post, hopefully that is a sign things are being restored a bit in your corner of the world. We are hoping you are getting all the resources needed to rebuild and help everyone affected by this disaster. {Side note: was that Fvrr ad filmed during the beginning or end of the storm?}

Thanks for sharing fellas 😁 and I don't want deck-dissconect

[@leviathanx0815]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a> better tip: get a heavy duty drill which typically comes with a clutch that auto-releases when it gets caught... I did so myself, after I first got my drill randomly stuck during a simple hole saw cut, which almost broke my wrist, and the second time, shortly after the first incident, it slammed me the battery pack in my face... I usually can pack a punch, but that made me go down the ladder and sit it out for a few minutes... Oh boy...

Ray is so cute in his red shirt, he kinda looks like a Gnome. Someone needs to get him a gnome hat.

[@wizkashifa]

I know your videos are about a month delayed, and showing the current state of the site would be a bit of spoiler, but maybe you do a community post with the current status of building and how other projects fared with a fundraiser going toward Bryson City. Instagram would support that too, I’m sure y’all could get a ton of money towards recovery efforts. I’d also gladly buy a recovery styled Perkins shirt if the proceeds went to that.

[@ianbaird6113]

Oil directly in the hole makes a world of difference with steel.

[@droppindeuces6981]

Working on heavy equipment and trailers, I can attest to how hard it is to drill holes through thick steel (now do them from the bottom; up! LOL)

[@kenbutera3530]

[@jamespppyacek342]

No flashing or spacers on that band/ ledger board huh? Trippy.
