As someone who sits in front of computer screens all day, I live vicariously through y'all

[@fuegoman45]

I think many of us do ❤

[@erdysoliman816]

Easy-to-follow shed designs This guide has the information you need to design and build your own ideal backyard shed. kzbin.infoUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- The book then presents several basic sheds, along with a number of more complex special-use sheds. It was fantastic and I wanted to let all the readers know that even a little old Grandma can build a shed. Thanks to the author for offering all the directions to build a shed from start to finish.

[@Faithfully.free33]

Am I the only one rewatching these guys’ videos? Especially the long start to finish house builds! Love the whole crew and their energy. Makes what their doing all the more interesting🥰

[@samuelsmith9999]

Totally agree ... The series' are awesome 1) you get a demystified view of a whole construction project 2) there's a bit of a storyline / cast of characters to follow along with. Good stuff Perkins!

[@joraxani]

100%

[@sad209yt]

My absolute favorite Jason line... "Get off your wallet bro!"

[@KevwePatani]

Definitely going to steal that🤣

[@marigeobrien]

Love the mad-dashes at the end. I guess you all couldn't resist. It looks like fun.

[@trueline.construction]

Always excited for a new perkins video. Straight to the big screen for me.

[@jimmyboyle1027]

Awesome to see someone shine a light in land surveying! That’s what I do for a living lol

[@woundeddove]

When you have a heavy dump truck coming cut skinny pines down for the truck to drive on. I’m on sand. Tiny trees work great.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Cool trick

[@casalleathercraf6591]

I am from the South of Brazil. I'm learning a lot from the videos

[@MatthewDownardYoga]

Boys being boys. Love it.

[@usunited5756]

Laser on a tripod and a measuring stick will solve the unlevel measuring problem. A Lazer and tripod is not that expensive. The measuring stick will tell you how far to measure down from the Laser mark to where you need your string to be. Remember to start at your highest point and work out from there. 65 yr. old builder here, hope the info helps.

[@homemoviesandotherstuff3419]

Perkins bros. Are the BOMB!!

[@bullfrogg4119]

I don't know about using the all purpose flour. I would have used self-rising flour.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Haha!! That works pretty well too from my experience

[@tscoffey1]

Crazy foundation. This is going to be a fun one to watch happen.

[@michaell.maloney4026]

It’s great that she’s out there helping……

[@tylermundy7985]

Love it! Cool to see you guys whippin that topography's butt.

[@namewithheld8115]

I really enjoyed the section with GeoMax. I've also enjoyed similar segments in the past where you tell us about the particular tools or the new building materials. Your show is always great, but adding the learning makes it even better. Thanks.

[@Kralphrn]

You guys are the best!

[@randybourdon2791]

The race at the end was hilarious guys!

[@johnkmcgregor5209]

Great new vids let’s get going. John from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@roberthaslup9556]

I absolutely love watching your channel I watch the other builds all the time Jamie is so smart Erik is the perfect personality for this and Jason , Arlo , Ray, and Jono what a team I wish I lived near you guys I only seem to watch you and the Essential Craftsman

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Thanks Robert!

[@lylewaters6161]

I agree! What is Jamie’s background? He’s really smart and speaks well, did he go to school for some kind of construction engineering?

[@waelser]

@@lylewaters6161 it was covered in a video a year or two back. erik went off to school, and jaime went straight to work for his dad iirc. erik then came back, dad retired, and they both took hold of the company. I think jaime was (and continues to be) just a curious guy and learned all the things he set his mind to

[@kevintremblay1211]

excited about this series!!

[@needaman66]

Step footings are a pain. Glad its you 😂. Putting a road in will help with all your deliveries

[@KevwePatani]

That race at the end was epic!

[@soleambition5484]

Jamie should film and upload the process of him building the table from the wood that was harvested from the property where you and your crew are filming and uploading building a home.

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Ooooh! New video 35 SECONDS AGO? Count me in!

[@angelak38]

When the dump truck was emptying for he driveway, he could start dumping, backing up, at the end of the driveway over what he dumped. This way, when he leaves, he can drive over gravel. Also, it is compacting it at the same time.

[@JeanRoi]

I thought he was going to do that but maybe he knows something we don’t. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@cgtspl]

Glad someone picked this up. Here in Australia you wouldn't get a truck license if you didn't know those simple tips. Crack the tailgate open on chains, tip it up slowly and reverse over the load, not only does this get you out of a sticky paddock but also spreads the load for the client.

[@FirstLastOne]

I was just finishing up my late lunch break and this video popped up... lunch break extended by 20 minutes! Hell yeah! 😅😁

[@Bokooda]

Back in the hills again 🙏

[@braxtond7889]

If I was ever to build another house…I would pay whatever it takes to have PerkinsBuilderBrothers do it…because Y’all do amazing work. I’m so excited to watch this new series 💯🫶🏻😎✌🏼

[@michaelmorgado]

Very good tip regarding loading up.

[@Rcoxbrick]

Perfect basement lot.

[@Bishopaaronbeachy]

You all should buy a skid steer, would save you a ton of time

[@fuegoman45]

Must not even feel like work. Hanging with your buddies building stuff. And people pay you to do it. ❤🤙

[@Woodworkingnurse]

Perkins builder bro’s. Always loook forward to the next upload. At work at the hospital enjoying your guys content here in upstate Batavia New York. Keep up the great work fellas !

[@michaelsparks6084]

Lol, Johno mister laid back, I’m always going a hundred miles an hour! 😂

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome job fellas! 😃👍🏼👊🏼

[@TheDavidrosa]

14:45 Did anybody else get the ( don't you? Wish you're girlfriend was Hot like me ) vibe from this little tune.😂

[@jeffschulteis9168]

Good work for young men!😊

[@pamelahousley7543]

Gonna be a beautiful location. Looking forward to seeing the next video

[@darkfox023]

The work family make this series so wholesome. Love all your videos

[@apt7777]

Eric likes that rake because it does nothing. And he does nothing like a pro!

[@basiaboy]

I through my neck out when you swing that boom toward the camera, my chiropractor thanks you, me….welll

[@codyallphin5992]

When your truck is in park the back wheels are the only thing holding it in place but if your park it with 4 wheel locked in the front will be in park to, love you guys stuff just thought I would throw that out their

[@rickbrown4199]

Absolutely love watching these videos while on my lunch break, it's amazing how fast the work can get done when you have a crew that knows what they are doing.

[@tiny9614]

Construction surveying! Done that a bunch of times. Same machine but we use Carlson Survey for our Data Collectors.

[@MrMockingbird1313]

Funny. Excellent.

[@danielrandolph9170]

Good video boys ! Stay safe

[@KaraBaker-ux3wr]

Thanks guys! I always learn something and I always end up laughing too. This is the perfect balance in what I like to think of as edutainment. I thought I was being like Jamie and coining a new word but as I typed it came up as a suggestion so I guess it’s already in use. Haha.

[@indikus.]

I love that it always shows the most important similarity no matter where you live on earth ... we are all the same ... boys will be boys no matter how old we are ... :D

[@michaelholtmeier439]

Thank you for all the videos I really enjoy them. I just ordered a shirt from your store. I really like watching the entire projects from start to finish. I know this is a lot of extra work making the videos so thanks a bunch. I am a fire captain and I look forward to coming home after shift and laughing with you and your crew. Thanks.

[@rickmastenbroek5447]

U know when a Florida man is shakin his can... dis video is gunna be gud.

[@tobyhayes611]

Footings on slopes are much more complicated than I thought. Excellent explanation and video.

[@brocktillman1014]

Enjoyed seeing how you got the exact measurements to dig the foundation! Always the video seems like it ends just after it starts! Love every second guys! Be safe💪🙏👌

[@seanmahoney2231]

good start. - layout tech impressive

[@katheleenjohnson990]

Thanks guys loved its keep them coming.😊

[@landonlandon5533]

Some geo grid would fix that driveway right up. Its a pretty cool product.

[@annalongfield]

We need a review about running the bigger excavator from Eric. He seemed so happy running it

[@firemanj35]

You guys build beautiful homes and in beautiful scenery, but MAN, do you get into some really tight spots to try and build in. Have you EVER said no to anyone? Just on the location?

[@n-fullsend1889]

Your crew is absolutely 💯. I have about 4 years left until I retire from the military. I'd totally work with the brotherhood yall have.

[@Superwoodputtie]

Hey showing the benefits of the surveying technology was really helpful. A lot of times I'll get in groove marking things out in a certain way. Having a sponsor show how to use a tool helped see why someone would pay for an expensive tool. Having yall perspective of "just getting the job done" plus "here's a way to do it if you have the option" was cool.

[@ejbbacc4873]

So much like this builders

[@jamesmarks8099]

Layout in a flat level plane and drop plumb lines.

[@lilysobotta2666]

Wow new tools❤❤🎉

[@dirkus3722]

I do a lot of lurking around here so I figured it's about time I contribute to the algorithm

[@ShimodaLife]

Hi from Japan. Thanks for the inspiring and encouraging video, showing us DIYers how to do it (particularly finding corners on a sloped site) simply, or in a more sophisticated manner. I've sent you a DM to say hello. Cheers.

[@DoubleA_AMAfpv]

@19:18 Nice FPV😎! 😁

[@Tuurs]

dang what an elevation

[@cloudx7897]

been waiting since yesterday LOL. Good luck guys

[@connorvincek1143]

You all should check out professional tag. Yall running in the footings reminded me of that

[@monicawilsonnn]

I'm excited to follow along with this project!

[@turtuhl]

The tracks on that Kubota are toast IMHO.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Wow, this building site is quite different from the last few! Great to tag along on another complete build, guys!

[@donaldpowell7762]

Buhahahaha day two painting. Poor Jay. I can’t wait to hear about this on Jay’s Way!!

[@rimonius]

As a dutch person, seeing houses build in The Netherlands I am so surprised that the basis of the house seems so "weak". Here for each house we drive concrete poles meters deep in the ground. Ofcourse it should be oke there and all safe but still it surprises me.

[@salmaankaroush9371]

Seeing the marking paint outline put the slope into perspective for me

[@KyleSturgeon]

Erik caught himself pulling a Jamie during that excavator part and just cut himself off in editing 😂

[@Longeno55]

I love new projects. All the best guys!

[@RiverRat904]

I am soooo tired after finding y'alls channel a few days ago. Your long videos, and these, are amazing! So hooked. Keeping me up late watching them. Lol. Subscribed!!

[@lilysobotta2666]

Y'all make day especially when I want to watch someone else work 🙄 having good time working 😂 CODES😮 Boy Y'all work FAST at times 😂🎉🎉

[@snezzles278]

I'm so glad you're using that lumber for something!

[@glenlongstreet7]

Mean Ramel? Thanks for the correction Erik!

[@concernedparent8544]

Jamie should go help The Kellys Country Life in Florida with all those fallen trees in his land from the hurricane and he would probably get alot more lumber to build things.

[@colinbrooks6290]

Erik, your such a kill joy…. There’s not much wrong watching a truck do it’s own thing…. Besides it’s Jamie’s 😁🤪

[@Foxil0ve]

I love to watch your videos while working in home office, wishing i could do something more craftman...

[@tymon995]

You guys should mic up. It will make the sound much much better.

[@michaelhall5773]

#letjaimetalk It's all about the hypotenus. Uh oh, Jaime is using those high fallutin' words again. Work work work, is it just me or is this site making all kinds of extra work for you all?

[@rhondakennedy819]

Don't forget to make sure roots are not on fire! I love watching men work! {and play🙂} Great painting Jay🙂. Jamie gets all that pretty wood to make something. I'd be afraid that steep of a plot will eventually go sliding down the mountain.

[@bradcoley2895]

I rememeber the first time I heard a dump trusck activare the "bed vibrator" , freaked me out !!!!

[@annalongfield]

Total station is really cool tech. It's something I want to learn

[@ShadowBeats1]

Currently binge watching the mountain cabin series till episode 3 of this series comes out

[@chris-C8]

I love watching a new Perkins Builder Brothers episode, but I hate being this early because now I can't binge-watch.

[@gabrieldinatale9728]

Hahaha, nice logs you have taken Jamie. After that shows the work you will do with them. Beautiful equipment to achieve the terrain levels. Greetings.

[@munkydotorg]

omg, 13 foot foundation wall, I'd almost want to have a basement at that point. but it's a lot easier to spend other people's money.

[@glenlongstreet7]

Back in 1995 the boat company I was working for tried out some really cool laser Teck. They pointed the laser at a small mirror ball at the end of a stick. The laser tracked the mirror as it was moved across the hull, and we were able to build a model of the boat in the computer to show deviations from design within 1 mm and make adjustments with some Bondo. The boat was 60 feet long. I am pretty sure it was some guys from MIT. Sadly, the boat broke in half during a race (Americas Cup 95) because a member of the crew tried to fix something that he was totally unqualified to do. It is always hard to get good help.

[@mblind]

I've seen you guys build on the side of a mountain before but every mountain lot is different. I suspect you could keep filming builds for a couple more decades and there would still be something new to learn from each build series.

[@Jake.Gentry]

I luv thees vids

[@woodlab]

Tridangular! I had to pause and laugh for a minute

[@pietervercauteren1505]

For dumptrucks to tackle that kind off terrain: mercedes arocs with hydrodrive.. or tatra trucks..
