70 likes in 2 minutes is crazy

[@BenKiefer]

The constant interruption to carry more boards in was hilarious; though I'm sure it wasn't in the moment.

[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

Oh no, they did it on purpose, they joke like that.

[@doenisroose2174]

I love this Running gag while Jamie is Talking 😂❤

[@jxchamb]

I'm not a builder or a handyman or even handy. But even I know that that tool belt is a thing of beauty.

[@GM-oq6nb]

Pro TIP---when getting the tongue of the tongue and groove ceiling planks to go into the groove----use a small scrap block of the plank to hammer against instead of directly hammering the previous plank tonge or groove. Pushing on it with the heel of your hands or hammering directly onto the finished board doesn't work too well and often damages the tongue. Using the block between the hammer and the finished installed plank makes the new plank glide right into place and forms a tight even fit seam.

[@Chapz666]

My thoughts exactly. Was just checking if someone else made this comment already 😅

[@jacp92]

Ditto, otherwise you can damage the edge.

[@stephane8993]

Jamie, a door and explanations with board traffic... It was hilarious. 😆 😂🤣

[@masterfabricator]

ANNOYING

[@mojotarvin5370]

That was a nice trick Jaime pulled to get a new tool belt! 😎

[@ravenyangwenda368]

He gave his own to a subscriber if I'm not wrong

[@LarryStrawson]

As a former carpenter the tool belt setup was cool! Nice to see the thought process for the different tool storage. I agree with all the updates especially the removable screw pocket and the hammer angle.

[@kiergsmith]

Former Canadian soldier here, that tool belt is giving me serious flashbacks to the '82 pattern web belts I wore for a decade. Mind you, you can carry about 50 lbs of stuff around, which is handy.

[@crashingstoans7907]

I think I saw Red Green with a tool bucket like Jaime's.

[@T.E.P.]

5 STARS ⭐️ Another stellar video Very funny too

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

thanks bro!!

[@kellycarrier1516]

We look forward to Thursdays and Sundays. Those Perkins boys and team are fun and educating to watch. We think Jaime should make a metal PBB logo for that beautiful entry wall 👍🏻

[@migueltor6434]

Now that is a generous 🧍‍♂️ man.

[@tmoss7122]

I look forward to every new video! Thank you for putting in all the extra effort and time it takes to film and edit your projects!

[@charlesjordan8511]

ceiling looks awesome.

[@richardneel6953]

The space is going to look fantastic guys. Great design and loving the look. Can't wait to see it finished.

[@CNCBuddy]

I'm looking forward to Perkins Builder Bucket Tool Belt.

[@azharmeghani1428]

Nothing beats the feeling of waking up on a Sunday morning to your renovation videos while having breakfast 😆

[@Peaches1393]

Almost a whole video of Jamie talking and teach us stuff?! YES!!

[@buterdhams]

I loved the Jaime explanation today. Soo much knowledge! Also I WAS DYING OF LAUGHTER when Eric keep walking by and poked his head in the window !!!!😂😂😂😂😂. That’s was the funniest thing.

[@user-uh8bx6tg5r]

We drove through Bryson City on the way home from vacation yesterday. Thought of you guys and wished I had time to stop and meet you guys. Love watching your videos! Charlie from Vicksburg, MS.

[@theresateegarden9147]

Your dog is beautiful!

[@debby8428]

I know! Both of his dogs are so cute!

[@marksovulewski]

You guys have good pro tips. I'm a retired Carpenter/contractor and I have a few for you. Number one the sawzall try flipping the blade upside down once you get used to it you'll never go back. Number two when setting next to your doors that require a jamming extension remove the brick mold and set the jams to the interior so the hinges are free. Number three, jigsaw when cutting material do it from the back side and you can always see the blade and it doesn't fur the material. From Mark

[@albertorozco5981]

That office is coming out fabulous. Very nice guys.

[@matthewson1000]

Jaime that new truck is SWEEEEET!

[@caveweta]

Love the Scott Brown Carpentry outro music, very mellow!

[@marymigliore3396]

The office is coming along nicely !! I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!!!!!

Eric is a Spiritual transformer 🤍 . He’s constantly ascending, changing, and moving forward. His Soul continues to Elevate and Light his path to help light 💡 the path for others. Thank you 🙏🏻 Eric!! We see your change’s and how you are a continuous role model for others 😁💚

[@michaelsparks6084]

Brilliant strategy on how to get a NEW Tool Belt Jaime!😅

[@holycitysilver5775]

Perkins Builder Bucket! We need it! 😂

[@BoudicasQuest]

Car Talk once addressed how to adjust your mirrors: to eliminate your blind spot, adjust each mirror outward until you can't see your own car, at all. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I swear by this. It literally eliminated my blind spots. I look forward to all your new videos. The camaraderie of your whole team is great to watch-I let myself feel a little like I'm there with you. Keep up the great work, production values, explanations, and problem solving-with a soupçon of hijinks ~ LOL the bit where Jaime is planing the trim behind the door while Eric tries to get in the frame via looking through the window was exactly the kind of thing I mean when I mention camaraderie. A happy team is a fun team!

[@cornerliston]

‘Pro tip’: sharpening the handplane blade. Gives you both a job made done easier, and much more fun to work with.

[@jamespppyacek342]

When I was 23 I bought a tool belt that I mostly liked and added stuff so that it was the perfect belt for me. It was leather, so I bought some leather, and an awl and went to town: Tape and square and nail sets and cat's paw and flat bar on the left; Hammer, pencils, chisel, utility knife pliers and screwdriver on the right side. My first job was on a speed framing crew in Colorado. I could pull my tape and pencil at the same time, then drop my tape back in while pulling out my square with one motion to mark the line... IF it was a 2x6 or larger, otherwise just drop the guard-less Skil saw right onto the line to eyeball a square cut. Very fast, and pretty dang accurate. Also dangerous. But hey, I needed the work. Later I added a back pocket for a water bottle, and a wrench holster, and a battery drill hook on the right front. I had a wide padded belt with no suspenders and BAM! Ready to rock. Dang thing was stolen out of my truck 15 years later. Fkn-A. I've never been able to replicate that belt.

[@verygoodboy2688]

Happy Sunday friends

[@emmanuelvincent6107]

Oh my gosh when Erik showed up staring through the door’s window at Jaime wanting to come in I busted out laughing 😅

[@joeshmoe8912]

Same!

[@boompa8267]

Another great video. Can't wait for the next home build.

[@some0ne8]

Good morning!

[@jaymartinez7654]

Just love watching you guys work! What a crew ❤

[@tannerevans3056]

Love the tongue and groove, love the bucket belt, too! Truly innovative. Also, HOT TIP, those bora sawhorses have little holes in them so you can screw on sacrificial 2x4 tops on them. Has saved many a saw blade kerf through my set of them. And you don’t have to lift material when sawing past the horse. Rock on!

[@jefftabor595]

Fun video!

[@carguy1312]

Pro tip: at about 3:16 you’re having to skip over the sawhorse and move the board. Mine have screw holes so you can attach scraps to the top to be sacrificial. Idk - maybe real builders don’t need hacks like that, but I think I’ve saved a few for the swear jar…

[@Supremacy5k]

It really warms my heart, to see how happy your dog is to see everybody, and just wants to say hi. :) Love your channel!

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Thank you so much!

[@TheDirtyBirchTrails]

I had the exact same truck as that Chevy 2500 right down to the tires. Sold it about 17 years ago !!

[@jamespppyacek342]

I've done many extension jambs. A reveal is the professional way to do them. If you can't hide it, make it a feature.

[@contento66]

God as my witness, Jamie Perkins has NEVER denied himself the pleasure of planing!!!

[@milesharlan1]

Hey guys, thank you for another Sunday afternoon video!! KUTGW

[@tmorgan7939]

Stencil PERKINS BROTHERS on that pail and you are all set ! With 2 yards of paracord you could sell a bunch of them on your website 😄

[@KevinPenman93]

Usually use the foam as I’m fitting the jam as it grips the back of it and the trim holds the front and keeps it all solid, love the videos!!

[@AlwaysSearching..]

Tip- cut a piece of scrap of the tongue and groove and have it in your nail bag, cut the tongue off of it and put the groove over the installed tongue length then you can hit that as hard as you want without damaging the tongue making it more difficult when trying to install the next length 👍🏼

[@wno1043]

I made my own shiplap for our kitchen ceiling from 1/2" plywood using my table saw and dado blade to cut the rabbet on opposite sides. Spaced the boards using a penny between each one. We painted the boards with a watered down white to try to achieve a washed finish. It came out pretty nice. Your ceiling looks great!

[@Man3T]

Hello from Saudi Arabia 🎉

[@davegordon6943]

Hello from Virginia

[@coffeeandteablogs2474]

Good Sunday 🤗

[@danzimmer95]

That’s a good caulking/shimming tip.

[@MrThuggery]

That was hilarious!

[@dawnc1419]

Hubba hubba Jamie 😍🤤 lookin' buff and smokin' ❤

[@jamesbeach2287]

Love the belts

[@Bef090]

The tongue and groove ceiling looks amazing!

[@jacksonspectacular]

We use a lot of those disc/puck lights and we have found a 4 1/4” hole saw does an almost perfect job. The extra 1/4” allowed for the extra space the hinges need. All you need to know is the center of the light, and there you go!

[@Kristina_Australia]

That info on the door trim was very interesting as I have something very similar I have been looking at but delaying to do, so thank you. Love the ceiling 👏👍

[@bradleymcmeen9629]

Just so you know when you add a jam extension to a door like that, you take off the stucco or brick molding and put the jam extension between the brick molding and the door jam and that leaves the door jam flush with the inside of the drywall for your casing, and then it will allow the door to open without binding on the jam

[@giovannifiorentino8947]

Erick, you may consider sending a tool belt to Keith at Sailing Zatara to see how well it apply to sailboat works.

[@bradvanbakel5781]

I resided (new weatherboards) an external wall of my 110 year old villa over the weekend. I have never done any DIY before, managed to get it done and even had a few plunge cuts to do, and no lie, the plunge cut tutorial Eric did 4+ years ago got me through it with no screw ups. Many thanks

[@Agsteamer]

Eric. If you line up the four spanner wrench holes on the cutting disc with the cross hairs, your hole will be dead nuts where you want it.

[@HyakuJuu01300]

Nice work as always!

[@Prariedog]

That cieling will darken over time ,enjoy it .🎉🎉🎉 great video guys 🎉🎉

[@ibowyer]

Crazy idea here… If you put a magnet at the bottom of the chisel holder would it hold it there?

[@ShadowBeats1]

Erick: “Jamie’s setting up his new tool belt” The toolbelt: yes

[@zebkeith-hardy5491]

Just a suggestion to cut yourselves a little beater block that is the groove side of the boards to hit the boards in rather than hitting the tongue! Makes it a bit easier in my opinion because you do not risk damaging the tongue with your hammer. Love the videos!

[@AndrewChambersDesign]

Jamies passion makes me want to quit my desk job and get into woodworking full time.

[@silys5253]

Haha. Eric and his board 😂

[@1023Blessed]

Beautiful work and love to see you all enjoying each other and having fun doing awesome work. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Our pleasure!

[@Aunty-A]

It’s gorgeous ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@54mgtf22]

Love your work 👍

[@marcusriley7309]

The key to a cleaner foam job is to leave it till it hardens. Even if it's on wood or drywall. Comes right off after it's set. Except your hair. Don't ask me how I know.

[@debby8428]

I am enjoying this project very much. My husband and I are very curious about the tile sheets you will be putting around the tub. So happy to see the fur babies! What is your darker colored dogs name?

[@albertorozco5981]

Thats was an awesome gesture giving a fan your toolbelt Jamie.

[@mikemmikem2758]

I like the bucket attachment rather the fancysmanchy Perkins one.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Alright I'll give you this, that hammer sleeve is brilliant, my number 1 compliant and really only complaint with the Kuny's belt I've had a couple of, is the hammer is constantly smacking the side of your knee.

[@ndothager]

Great info on the door jab extensions. Thanks!

[@TheMidwestWaterproofing]

love it. thank you.

[@marciam6224]

We miss you Arlo!! Jaime, I can't believe it took you 40 years to come to your senses and drive a CHEVY!! lolol

[@Doogle81]

Hahahah "excuse me" gag was great!

[@user-dr2pg8fk2i]

For ship lap or any long wood joint, always keep a white rubber mallet around. Never use a metal hammer.

[@weslangston1034]

Pro tip, you should never install a door jamb slammed tight to the framing . Tight to framing isn’t leaving room for expansion, as soon as everything swells up that door won’t shut. Hinge and latch side should both be shimmed for expansion/contraction . Also wouldn’t have needed to plain down the jamb extensions if there was room for shims in the rough opening.

[@dawncaulder2837]

Loving the look of your home office Erik~Great job guys~Have a Blessed Sunday😁😁

[@michaelc.3812]

Sundays and Tuesdays are days I look forward to as they are the Perkins BB post days!

[@briangrammer898]

❤❤Great Video ❤❤ I really enjoyed the info about the tool belt.❤ also thanks for laughs I really enjoyed Perkins brothers messing with each other ❤ I miss Arlo ❤ I know he is living life large. I hope one day he will just show up and hang out ❤

[@debraimmer260]

You guys crack me up

[@Hondo1126]

13:24 johnno! Dancing on the ceiling! That’s his jam!

[@rhondakennedy819]

I always wondered why they called it a square with a lot of stuff on it. I have learned quite a lot from these men.

[@williamsanders6092]

I hope that new office work area allows you to be more efficient and spend more quality time with your family.

[@stevep5111]

The door casing idea is great. I ran into the same issue a couple years ago. I never thought of recessing the added piece, (I'm a novice at best). Instead I spent several hours just getting it ok flush. Hopefully I don't run into it again, but if I do I will recess.

[@user-vn6hi2bi3g]

Ceiling looks great, subtle detail in lining up seams only noticed if one does not take time to do it. Ray

[@AugustoDiaz-jv4ov]

Nice to see this team working and same time little bit funny time

[@ChrisLoganToronto]

Hey Jerry, thanks for the tool belt! So this is the youtubes you were telling everyone about. I didn't know it was about building stuff, sounded more like a OnlyFans. I just overheard you were hammering your brother's (office) with your two buddies the bearded man and Florida Man. Good luck

[@2hlix]

For spray foam I've found that a gun where you can dial in flow rate means a really good and clean application. The straws on cans I get terribly messy application. Downside is you gotta clean the gun with solvent.

[@joeshmoe8912]

One tip i would say is have a flooring mallet with you and use that to persuade the material. Works much better than a block of wood.
