I am 82 years old and cannot work roofs any more but I love watching your team work on these projects. I am sure many people will enjoy a stay at this master piece.

[@myriadpro1641]

happy early birthday!

[@handyman194]

My wife and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary while staying in this house shortly after it was available. It's every bit as well built and beautiful as the videos make it out to be. Made me want to be a better builder!

[@Greenmile76]

This build series was my favorite of the Perkins crew. It’s the right mix of hard work, fun and the best video editing and story telling. Hoping this long compilation does well. Let’s get them to 1M subscribers!

[@susanhollis5015]

I loved the camaraderie amongst the builders as well as their dry sense of humor! 😊❤

[@barbarajeffries9853]

I cannot believe it we turned on an episode and it’s my husband day off at 8:00 am it’s now noon and we’re still watching episodes this is addicting , this also means you all do a wonderful job keeping us entertained fans from Canada

[@Lethalgarage]

Watched all the individual episodes during the release timeframe but don’t even care and I’m about to watch all of this again. Keep it coming.

[@jaimeperkins9606]

Yes!! Watch it again!

[@mafei1517]

Same idea over here 😅

[@Lethalgarage]

@@jaimeperkins9606 tell your brother awesome edit.

[@vuyelwamaneli5775]

Same here.😊

[@whatissixtynine]

You're very skilled at your trade, and you're very skilled at synthesizing information and telling a story with your editing. Thanks for being one of my 'hidden gem' youtube channels!

[@carloscardona8425]

Just watched this vid and have to say I really enjoyed it as a 35+ professional carpenter/contractor. It was really some of the best content I’ve watched in the last several years. You guys…and I mean all over u…should be commended for your efforts and your attention to details and always striving for excellence!!! Great editing as well and you should all be immensely proud!!!!!

[@vintagegirl31]

As someone who has enjoyed "planning" my dream home, I found it interesting to see how an actual house was built.

[@T.E.P..]

Love when you make these long vids after the build. This is a TON of extra work and much appreciated and watch them all. Thanks Erik!

[@tonyganga2564]

I'm a carpenter / contractor that started working in NYC in 1974 up till I retired in Long Island NY in 2019. I've watched your videos mostly because I like the corroboratory the crew shares but you guys also care about the content and what your working on. I also like to see people using new tech since I'm out of it and there's new stuff out there daily. I say all that because I generally don't comment on videos because there are more and enough trolls out there and I don't want to add to it even if it's a good comment, which this is. I see you nailed the bottom plate (shoe) to the sill and built the wall stood it up and toe nailed the studs for the first time and then you mentioned you've never done it that way. That always surprised me watching you and it's not just with you guys. I live in NC now and have made friends here in the business and they do it the same way as you. It shocked me at first but different strokes and so on so I just rolled with it. Anyway, why I'm writing to you because you mentioned it and I wanted to re-enforce any thoughts you might have trying it moving forward. While I like that your open minded and willing to try new stuff you going to have to take it one step further. The way it's done up north and I'm not saying it's better, I am saying it seems faster because there are less moves and ladder work to straighten out the top plate. After you nail the shoe to the sill, toe nail (hand nail with 8d's) on the inside of the top plate to the shoe every 2' or so leaving the head out so you can take them out later. I say the inside so they don't interrupt your layout. Once the shoe is all down double it up to complete the top plate using 10d nails leaving a space for any interruptions like other walls intersecting and so on. Leave the 2x4, 2x6 or whatever start the double up again. it's very easy to straighten out a top plate on the ground vs off ladders not to mention your layout goes very fast because you can layout the walls, joists and rafters all at the same time. When your all done with your layout take the 8's out, now transfer the marks to the top of the shoe and the bottom of the top plate and your done with your layout and everything lines up. Plumb an outside corner and all your studs are also plumb. Of course this is based on what you were doing on the project. It works on framed floors with plywood of course. Anyway, I like your show a lot. Keep it up, if you read this I hope you take it as intended. As a little advice from an old carpenter to a younger one. Best

[@Ascrappy1]

Ive been in CRAZY construction for almost 40 years. These guys face problems and issues with “Coolness” I enjoyed watching this on Jan 1 2024. As a contractor, the most important thing is a damn good fun working team. This they have. I am very impressed with the gentleman with missing fingers and how he adapted flawlessly. I have 1 missing with another half missing. And i love to work with my hands to improve life. We all know, rarely in construction do things work smooth. Nice work guys! I wish i could have you guys work on my house.

Camera work, editing, voiceover, and production planning all on a high level. Erik is immensely talented.

[@laurenzowilliams5512]

I’m a young kid and I’ve always wanted to work with guys that build these home from scratch. Not contracting the footers or the basement walls out. I always wanted to learn every aspect of a home and this is a great video for it.

[@marcialittle7893]

That says a lot of good things about you young man. Keep up the good work.

[@くわは怒っている]

same honestly

[@lienaarendse7042]

I would listen to Jaime the whole day he can explain it all so well thanks Jaime.

[@lagunabay51]

I've watched the whole 2 hours plus video and I'm absolutely lost for words. What a team. What talent. What a gorgeous house. The workmanship is something I've yet seen. I'm building my cottage and you've given me so so so many ideas and tips. Awesome job. Can't wait to watch your next project. I was truly entertained. From your neighbour up North.

[@Fire1969Man]

Just got done watching this entire build. As a woods craftsman of nearly 40 years it truly is nice to see builders who still take pride in their build and pay attention to the smallest of details along with uniquely custom features and accents. Enjoyed watching gentlemen and lady, you have a new fan.

[@JLaw3535]

Love the compilation videos - and the editing just keeps getting better and better!

[@jaimeperkins9606]

That’s thanks to Erik!

[@lienaarendse7042]

I'm from South Africa and i have never seen such beautiful work i just Love it keep it up!!

[@ben_joven]

I have a tech job but have love watching construction sites since I was a kid. I always have you guys playing in the background. It’s very calming to see people build something amazing like this.

[@patrickrooney5130]

Loved everything about the build. You all deserve a good pat on the back guys. We'll done.

[@thepagan5432]

What better when sleep eludes you, than to watch PBB build a house. Like many of us stalwart PBB fans I have watched every house being built and still notice little things you missed originally. Great post, thank you 👍

[@mrsc120]

Agree. It’s gotta be difficult if it looks so effortless.

[@glenwestphal7510]

I've been watching you guys for several years and you all do an amazing job and so into your craft to detail . Detail is everything that makes you guys a cut above everyone else's work ! I had a Remodeling Co. for 26 years and loved what all my guys and gals did and we were known for the fine details and we also stood out from so many other Companies and I miss doing it . I had to retire the Company after a bad auto accident and really wish I could have kept it going . I really do miss doing this kinda work and get so much joy watching all of you It reminds me of us ! thanks for all the awesome jobs , you all are true professionals and great people !!

[@vidz_24]

I came across your channel last year and each time I watch your videos I fall in love with the finished product having seen how it all begun. You've definitely got yourselves a fan from Kenya.

[@ArnholdSusanne]

I absolutely loved watching this! It’s amazing to see how much effort and teamwork goes into building something from the ground up. My dad works in construction, and this really captures the heart of what he does every day. So inspiring!

[@TobyK63]

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. There are no words that I can say to ease your pain. I offer my sincerest condolences to you and your family and pray that the hole in your heart is filled with an abundance of love and joy as your Mom would have wanted. Thank you for sharing your grief and I whole heartedly appreciate the difficulty in having to edit all of this film. I can’t even begin to imagine. May her memory be eternal!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Thank you very much!

[@callmebigbee123]

You don't see this to often,but you guy's made working hard look fun.What a great gift it is to be able to make things from scraps and raw materials yourself. I wish i had half your talent when it comes to building things.I truly enjoyed watching you guys work together, I'd really like to know how much do you think you saved by being able to make yourself alot of what goes into building a house, I'm thinking its quiet a bit, go job guys,and props to the filming and editing to,very well done,.i was entertained all the way through...

[@djosearth3618]

(TLDR: ~half:) Ironically around midpoint (to my memory so plz don't go quotin' me here ;) right after the stone wretaining wall w 'stairs' went up and they just got the 'sewer' approved there was a conversation where they had actually planned on building this other house as they had a double lot (hence the quotes around 'free' in the description. So anyways it was *approximated that they 'saved' ~1/2* due to already having utilities roughed in when they did their own structure which was on a double type of lot (prolly a corner offf shape lot or somethin). So about 4/5ths through when cameraman goes to the fellow fumanchu mustash is handmaking and individually bending those near 15 brackets outa ~0.25"x~1.xx" reclaimed looking train track trussling (hehe), says politely yet so solemly; "never assume what a woman wants". This is just before they're roughing that shelving in after she (co-wner, wifey & 'walking boss') brings in the electric coffee pot to size (I think she wasn't quite picturing the really heavy duty shelving'd be near ~2" thick (hey bespoke 1/4" brackets, god likes hand made things thick SHE knows that :D) Anyways somewhere around before these parts there is a discussion about cost and voice behind camera & fellow on camera basically agree that it isn't always about cost (atleast not on this project is the sorta the undertone). Little scenes like the few I just described especially involving the walking boss, really call to attention all the 'lil' details that should be sure to help keep the Plott House Est. 2022 off of the 'Cosplayu Steampunkers' todo list.. :)

[@tamsolo1584]

That prosthetic is badass! I dig the mechanics of it. Very streamlined.

[@TeeJay_757]

This piece of advice really hit home for me. I just finished doing a remodel on my disabled father's bathroom including a curbless shower with a rainfall head, wand and jets. After everything was closed up, it's like my brain was erased and I couldn't remember where anything was. Being able to go back to the videos and pictures I had, saved me so many headaches. 58:54

[@robertmay4103]

Love this movie format of the complete build. Must have been an unbelievable amount of time editing. Thank you for your effort.

[@kaylamasaitis1031]

It’s a testament to how much I like you guys that I’m watching this whole video even though I already watched all of the real-time videos.

[@palsh]

Watched all of these and was just as satisfying the second time around here. Beautiful build, thanks for sharing it with the world.

[@DonnyMusto]

I haven’t watched you guys in a while. KZbin for some reason doesn’t show me them even when I put the bell. I’m a cancer patient that’s been fighting bone marrow cancer for over 11 years and I just got the word this week that I have another blood cancer called MDS. It means my bone marrow is not producing blood or immature blood that doesn’t work so I’m going for transfusions and going through hell again. 11 years of this. Also, I’ll be starting chemo in a few weeks. I don’t know how I do it but I’m here. Love you guys. You’ve helped me through a lot of times and today I watched the whole episode.

[@c.a.g.1977]

I think I said this before: I love tagging along as a build progresses, but I also greatly enjoy watching these feature length complete build movies. Great build (awesome all those custom made parts, Jaime!), great video (must have been quite a few hours of editing, Erik!), well done Perkins Builder Brothers Crew!

[@peterlee4856]

Sanitary work. Very clean. 1 nit to pick. No nailer plates over the wires where they pass through gable studs. Use them on the inside to protect your plumbing and electrics. Excellent production quality with lots of good onfo.

[@kylerslife462]

I keep missing the series but I love watching these all put together - inspiring and honestly just cool to watch you guys work!

[@thegreatestever4887]

I like the workmanship, friendship and teamwork the guys have, the solutions to get around a error or fault, they each have unique skill sets aside from their building trade that shows that they know and enjoy what they do.

[@michaelc.3812]

terrific job with all the new footage Eric, and Jaime. The place looks great, AND you are bringing in a LOT of outside $$ for Bryson City.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Thanks Michael!

[@lienaarendse7042]

Perkins builders what a Master piece you guys rock keep it up!!

[@michaelc.3812]

Wow! Exciting afternoon as Eric brings us an extra-long format build video! Thanks Eric, great job as always.

[@stflaherty63]

Outstanding compilation video! The house looks amazing.

[@BoydsCoveEst]

My wife and I drove by this house the last time we were in Bryson. Awesome build! The video doesn’t do it justice.

[@zcreek]

I’m happy that you did the longer video on the whole house it’s something to watch if your can’t find a new video to watch of you guys I’m excited for the next house build I watch them as soon as they come out. You guys do a great job showing everything you do and the trouble you guys have in all the videos you have or the pro tips.

[@dpyles9396]

GREAT WORKMANSHIP AND WORK ETHIC! I watched this entire video in one sitting. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@randallellis138]

Keep these long videos coming. Enjoyable to the last nail ! Your crew is a Complete Crew with contents extraordinaire and unique content. Thank you for all the hard work in building and all the hard work with filming.

[@djosearth3618]

Ya, I let out a lil laugh when he presses stop on the phone he had filming him steaming the curtain, which went from ironed look at top left to straight outta box the closer to the bottom right it got :) He prolly setup that shot thinking it was gonnna be this great timelapse montage thing and it was all of 3 seconds including him burning his face on the steam jet - till "I'll just press stop on this" as you see he has that phone w ~5 lenses framed in on the 'curtain' up on a tripod near as tall as he is, hehe, it was a full size tripod, 3 seconds, nearly burns mouth but 'walking boss' is luckily right there, oh, I luv it :) edit: Just meant that A LOT of work goes (can go) into filming - not to mention you'd hear "the real work starts in the editing bay", said often. Certainly in the comments of some DVDs it's a wonder the film ever released except for the studio financial investment. Of course that was before we had digitized virtual editing bays, but still, great comment! ;]

[@janetelliott4913]

I love y’all working together. It truly puts a smile on my face every time I watch your videos.

[@fngrusty42]

I enjoy watching a good crew working. Retired been building since 1970

Hydroseeded grass watering...We actually offer that exact service in MN. We use standard digital sprinkler timers, valving, and sprinkler heads and set the time intervals as required to grow grass even during the heat of the summer.

[@drendamills8960]

All of you have done an amazing job building this house, I'm in love with it.

[@skunkhome]

Im addicted. The conversation is so wholesome I can watch it with my grandkids and not have them assaulted by the coarse language that typically infest these videos.

[@harryhoudini2645]

I like the way you notch for the overhang. Too many times I have seen a box framed and nailed to outside of truss .

[@Gaiartemis]

Can I cast you guys in a Netflix series? I think it would be so entertaining. It would be based off of all your characters. Kind of like Cheers, but on building sites!!

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Haha! Thanks… we have fun. You’re welcome to send our marketing lady an email [e-mail]

[@toddacewright]

Hey guys ....how your day ...I have been beng-watching for the last month I have watch every house you guys build ..and I have a pro tip for you might do it all ready ...but put nail holes in the lip of your paint can and the paint will run back in the can not run on the out side

[@toddacewright]

And quick set concrete put bags in hole and full with water and you mix it right in the hole

[@cadavisiii]

You guys are such an inspiration, I want to market my real estate business the same way you market your efforts. Stay consistent!

[@TonyFerrera]

Thank you for this video. As satisfying as it is to watch each step leading to the gorgeous end result is to also see the teamwork this group of people brings to a project. You guys are a truly great example of excellence and pride in your work.

[@2times2is4]

Awesome layout. The custom made stuff is what makes this special.

[@lesaatuatasi6267]

I love watching your group build home and this one is beautiful as all the previous builds have been.

[@timinjapan3836]

Long-ass video. But it has everything, even the finishing touches. What I really like to see in these videos is the true friendship that your crew has and the genuine like and respect they have for one another. What an awesome crew!!

[@patrickgreen2361]

I so enjoy watching the incredible work, editing, etc… for the series in one episode. Amazing attention to detail.

[@thedaywaster]

The blue for the porch ceiling can be bought at most paint stores. It's called HAINT BLUE. It's mostly a southern thang. It'll keep those HAINTS (ghosts and such) out of y'all 's house. I live in Meat Camp, NC . Really enjoy the channel.

[@michaelcoulton883]

its to prevent birds from nesting, robins wont build a nest that is open to the sky

[@bobwhite9670]

So all true perhaps but the real reason is that it stops dirt dobbers from building nests. It is a southern remedy in that respect. I have used it for years and it works 99.99999% of the time. I think once in a while a dirt dobber is born color blind and you get a nest. Cleaning one nest is much preferable to 100's.

[@SeanieD1968]

Watched it from start to finish Excellent job

Yall are by far the most professional builders / contractors I've seen on KZbin. Keep up the good work fellas.

Watch the whole video, I am highly impressed with you and crew. The house is beautiful, so many un special touches. I’m sure many guest will enjoy staying there. Congratulations.

[@leann4925]

Loved watching this and what a beautiful home this turned out to be. The craftsmanship on this was far and beyond. I did learn why there are holes in my trim work as they used pine wood and not paint it well. I bought the place and didn't know about that. As have had to run off Woodpeckers. Thank you!

[@murrayadams6469]

Hi guys You may already know this. Copper roofing’s nails will react with aluminum. Hopefully the roof cap is all steel and not aluminum. The reason pressure treated wood eats away at aluminum flashing is because of the copper in the wood treat. My builder made a small mistake on my home and that’s how I know this. Keep up the amazing work and content!

[@shadhutchison6578]

I just watched this straight through. I really enjoyed it. Glad to see a group of guys who work well together and you can see are friends as well. I miss those days. 😁👍

Dear Jamie and team… I can no longer put your videos on when I’m supposed to be working. 🤣 darn it! It hooks me EVERY TIME! Next thing I know, I’ve been sitting here for an hour just so amused 🤣😂 I really do love your videos tho. It’s the perfect mix of entertainment and learning (not that I’d ever even attempt to build a house) but I love tools and fyi… I’ve already seen this particular video twice before it popped up again today.

[@unknownjoe3021]

I been watching ya’ll for a few years now, and if I had the money to fly ya’ll out to west coast to build, I would. You’re the only company I would love to work for, learn from, and the attention to detail is superb. The way ya’ll carry on is like one big ol’ family and I hope ya’ll carry on for many more years.

[@larisaherbert9264]

That was amazing watching you guys… spectacular house! You all out done yourselves. Great job!!

[@rogersellars3290]

Really enjoyed a wonderfully edited video of the build I had watched in its original form. . . . pretty cool.

[@jimpike3489]

Another great build, some much attention to the small details. If you can get 8% annual profit on your rental fees against the mortgage you should be repaid in 13 years and that beautiful little house is a nest egg for your kids. Thanks for sharing. P.S. invest in rubber mallets for your crew, so useful for banging in wood.

[@jeremygallagher7775]

I'm in Louisiana and ive seen so many contractors build rentals, not to say they are built wrong but there is no where near the effort and custom work going into what I see locally. Great work and really nice house.

[@MikeJones-dr8os]

Really enjoyed the long form of the video. Thx for hard work on that. Awesome house. Details matter. Lots of custom work well worth it.

[@ralphpeischl2622]

I’m sure glad they’re still professional home builders in this country. The homes I seen being built by our neighbors south of the border really made me worry about the future of home building in America. Thank you for the videos.
