Your doppelgänger is totally Jarret Joyce from the tv show Shipping Wars! I swear you look just like him, even sound a little like him.

[@aaronoconnell1597]

I tried some of those watches on and one thing worth mentioning is that they are very lightweight as well

[@tycrabs]

6:31 Jason throws a sledgehammer up to Jamie on the roof who CATCHES IT WITH HIS ROBOT HAND. This is the biggest boss move I’ve ever witnessed from you guys. Seriously, the way Jamie has been able to turn a horrific accident into a borderline superpower is as impressive as anything else you guys do. Thanks for sharing all the positive energy!

[@healthandwellness1707]

Not to mention the fact that Jason threw that much weight straight UP that high!

[@joshuayoung2643]

Can we all agree that Jamie needs a channel dedicated to letting him talk. Listen, I love Eric and the boys, but I need more Jamieisms in my life.

[@MarHa47]

In an older video Jamie was catching boards thrown the same with his terminator. It's impressive how much dexterity he has using the hand.

[@chasewalter8915]

The throw of the sledge from Jason to Jamie was chefs kiss perfection

[@jobranch1]

Ray is looking super chill in those sunglasses.

[@robertlewis952]

Much love and prayers for swift recovery to Arlo!

[@TimGGleason]

6:30 that was the most satisfying throw I’ve ever seen

[@cylon9505]

I wish Arlo a speedy recovery!

[@jamesgroff2512]

100% agree on sheathing the roof. I'm a roofer by trade and we always add sheathing to board roofs that are not tongue and groove. It's additional expense, but in the long run you avoid a lot of issues. I do a lot of leak calls and I often find nails in the gap that start leaking 10yrs down the road... Also, you guys need a real shingle shovel...

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Right! They're killing me up there with a spade 😂

[@funtyes1970]

yeah cuz they remove old shingles all time. lol

[@Beandiptheredneck]

@funtyes1970 they've done it enough that it would be worth spending 100 on a few stripping shovels 🤷‍♂️ they're great for general demo too

[@funtyes1970]

@@Beandiptheredneck tell me last video you see them ripping off old shingles. most the videos building new homes. they even said they don't like doing remodeling. so, you think they need a $100 shovel even though they didn't need it 😂 😂

[@funtyes1970]

@@Beandiptheredneck last time they did Remodel was 7 months ago and that remodel they didn't do any shingles removal and that remodel was Kitching remodeling, but you still think they need to spend $100 on a shovel even though shovel they were using was working. just saying.

[@breakinn403]

Hate to see it end. looking forward to the next episode.

[@sundusqureshi6655]

So satisfying to see the shovel nail removal 🤤

[@greybear3090]

got my coffee...only problem I got with these videos is they arent long enough lol. I could sit here and watch all day!

[@Recovering_Californian]

Spread out a really large tarp to drop the roof material onto. Makes cleanup so much easier/faster. Makes for a lot less nails all over the yard. Can even just throw away the tarp too if you want. The time you save easily makes up the cost of the tarp(s).

[@jeremylyon3249]

Thinking the same thing. Watching ya'll throwing it on the ground, picking it back up to throw into the dumpster made my back hurt.

[@jaypremack8785]

Depends if you charge by the hour. 😂

[@tc2882]

2:43 -- Perkins Archaeology Brothers.👍

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Hahaha!!!

[@terrymorgans5565]

Prayers to Arlow to a full and speedy recovery 🙏🏻

[@PhilBuildsThis]

The sound of the shovel taking out nails was so satisfying. Need an unedited clip of just that

[@blakeandtim937]

I love the rythym of taking on these smaller projects in the larger narrative of your builds. They bring completely different challenges and fun. Watching your crew go into full-ham demo mode is awesome!

[@JeffDougherty]

The shovel, popping the nails with speed was so cool.

[@pamelahousley7543]

Gonna be a neat place. Love that y’all are redoing

[@rgarlinyc]

Looks like a great project to tackle! Looking forward to seeing you guys slowly but surely turn it into a charming, inviting cottage!

[@ATaylor369]

This is going to be a fun remodel and I'm glad he's saving the old house.

[@thebl4ckd0g]

oh man. this is like watching an episode of This Old House. But with the Perkin's Builder Brothers doing it. :) Love it!!!

[@anthonym612]

Shoutout to Jason who's got his own great channel (yes, I know it's linked above). He does some awesome work!

[@jefftabor595]

The sledgehammer catch was sweet! Good content as always!

[@Anliorf]

Really enjoy watching these side projects. Seeing how each one is tackled is so informative and entertaining and it also expands the types of content on the channel.

[@xLONER18x]

Popping those nails with the shovel sounded amazing! The vibration sound was sooo good.

[@jamesrobertgrimes]

I've been watching you guys for years and the best tool a crew can have is a 5-7 ton dump trailer. It's by far the most productive tool I own and worth every penny paid for it. Enough so that I work solo and own 2 of them.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

When I worked contracting we had a 7x12 7 ton dump trailer, we had that thing on every site and it was so versatile, you could use it for just about anything.

[@jamesrobertgrimes]

@@Beandiptheredneck I've got a little 7x12 that's great for demolition. You can back it on a garage, door down and not have the HOA or nosey neighbors into your business. My favorite thing is that it has fold down sides so it can be loaded with a forklift. On deck work I'll show up with the lumber, dump it as close to the deck as possible then tear the old top off and toss it in, massive labor saver.

[@wolfcommander6009]

The chordless cocrete drill on hammer mode with a paddle tip eats them old chimmineys for breakfast...rotary drill👍🏻

[@markstipulkoski1389]

I think I would have gotten a dumpster before I started ripping things apart. I guess they could get Jason to move it into the dumpster later!😂

[@Lugnut64052]

A hammer drill with a spade bit makes short, easy work of those old chimneys.

[@randybegley1964]

Never fails. You tear off a roof, rain follows. Love the channel guys. From Penryn, California.

[@user-th3yx8sy5q]

I love to watch how the whole Perkins crew works together , I only have one concerrn, I was a excavator operator for over 22 years, and every time I see ya'll leave the excavators bucket up in the air, if somebody walks into it , it's going to hurt, I was taught when your finished with the machine, lower the bucket to the ground, safty tip of the day

[@kennethconaway3501]

Nice small project for you guys. A good change of pace.

[@Redman74]

I could just watch you guys mowing lawns and having fun and i would enjoy it,but thankfully I like building stuff as well, so it makes this my favorite channel for the last couple years no doubt !

[@benhart6169]

Love watching remodel jobs!

[@matteberry58]

It takes more skill and creativity to bring new life to a project. You guys are the perfect team for the challenge!

[@DavidCTFender]

I really hope Arlo gets better. My prayers are with him.

[@Twokeeshonds]

You guys are hilarious. The energy and fun loving nature of the entire team is so much fun to watch. I'd like to hire you gents, but I'm on the wrong coast.

[@T.E.P..]

Hi guys!!!! May all your best wishes come true in this new year! Almost to 1 million subs!! So excited for your continued success

[@sethdetweiler7998]

Sweet! A full house renovation. Guys, there’s not another show like yours where you see every step of the way and every useful trick to get the job done. Would love to see more old houses in the future

[@MrMockingbird1313]

Hey Guys, Very cool job.

[@ismaelchavez6120]

barehand is craaazy for picking up old shingles!

[@thepagan5432]

I've done a few old house remodel and I'm never shocked at some of things people do, like electric outlet under a cast iron bath, attic conversion with a ridge board that was unable to support the weight, so the ridge dipped down at least 5". Good post thank you 👍

[@Wandering_whatsnext]

Remodels are definitely more interesting than new builds. Good stuff.

[@patkane5018]

Hope Arlo is OK, melanoma can be serious if not caught early. Get checked guys!!! It could save your life!

[@RICHat22]

I have a 1940 house that was built by my next-door neighbor's parents. I started watching your Channel when you had about 2k subs for this exact reason. I can tell you every step of this project. LOL. Mine also had no bathroom when built. And I uncovered a double fireplace between the kitchen and a bedroom when demoing to add drywall. Among 100's of other cool things. This one is gonna work your nerves, but you'll learn a lot.

[@rhondakennedy819]

Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

Ray is a natural model.

[@CajunLiving]

Welcome to my world. That's the kind of stuff we work on.

[@molly_nap_queen]

I love that the title is "REALLY Old House" and they said it's from 1910. My neighbour has a house from maybe early 1400's. THAT'S old.🤣

[@ryankelly5303]

Awesome job guys

Never thought i would see your Channel do a collab with a company from my country, very cool! 😊

[@ramellesmith1520]

So good to see you all together again. Good job on the Old house remodel. Miss you all and can’t wait til you are back on the Modern Home Build! The Holzkern merchandise you all got, so 🔥!

[@tammywatts4798]

Love a new project.

[@CybrJames]

I really ;love this channel... You guys are all amazing. You work well together also. You can see you have a lot of fun, and yet produce quality work. I have learned a lot. Thank you

[@kenwillis8487]

Our old 1900 farmhouse had the same open crawl space under the porch! I closed it off with cinder blocks and mortar then spay foamed the sill plate gaps! Made a massive difference with floor temps in the winter!

[@hitnorcal]

@ 6:32 Jamie that was slick...

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Oh boy! Another Perkins Brothers Project!!!😊

[@gregflynn1107]

Awesome project. I have a 1930’s Dade Pine house in south Florida and I have 5 different siding materials, I’m looking to reside the house soon.

[@reidfraser]

My house was built in 1921 and on a half basement half crawl that extended under the front porch which was covered with tongue and groove and as best as I can tell never leaked. When I was doing some updates however, I closed it off primarily because it definitely caused issues with the floor being cold in the winter.

[@Brayden_-bd5sw]

The sunglass are really cool

[@c.a.g.1977]

Awesome to see you guys tackling so many diiferent kinds of jobs! Was in Vienna last summer, came by one of the Holzkern stores, did some window shopping: gawked at those beautiful watches and gorgeous accessories for a while 😄 And for Arlo: get well soon!!

[@Evan-Gomes]

Well you guys are really taking on a few projects so far this year! Looking forward to getting Arlo back in the videos 👍👍

[@spencerwilson9104]

Wank I love it when you guys use that word in the UK we add kers to the end a lot on site it’s the only way to get through the day.

[@gpadog]

wank has always meant the same as spanking the monkey in the US, as far as i know. Id hear wanker (brittish) and assumed it meant the same.

[@zephyr1408]

Daniel is thee BBM ! Remember that boys!

[@jacobalderman105]

Awesome 👍👍

[@davegouldinonley]

17:30 pro tip: drag the side of your hammer head along an old stud to find the nails that need to be pounded or removed. On that roof I'd recommend sweeping/dragging a 2 foot level along to find proud nails.

[@maryrodgers6041]

I love the camaraderie the team has. I did learn not to freak out when I make a mistake, like when I'm building a closet.

[@johnbucklerfarms]

Dude a Potato Fork works like Butter removing Shingles!

[@m1spartan989]

Air chisels work great for taking down chimney

[@sixcues]

I think this one you should have just brought in a Bulldozer!! and started over!!!

[@TheDirtyBirchTrails]

Pretty cool view of Bryson !!!

[@Brayden_-bd5sw]

The watch is really cool bro good work to looks like a fun job

[@auntieestablishmentvintage7460]

I'm always amazed at how building construction and sewing construction is so similar. I sell vintage clothing (from the 1890s to the 1970s) and I'm always dealing with the same sort of mysteries you do on old houses. But instead of boarded up windows etc, I find covered up zippers, etc.

[@bjessome2945]

Everytime your videos end I'm always waiting for more. Your crew seems to have a blast everyday,my dad always told me to do something that .awesome you happy and you'll never work a day in your life. Cheers to you guys I love your videos,keep up the great content

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Hooray, new video! Aw man, it's only 21 minutes long. Love it anyways.

[@martinmay91]

Habe die Ehre, from Upper Bavaria.

[@Lugnut64052]

I'm in the middle of an almost identical renovation and I Zip sheathed over a solid board system just like that a few months ago. Had leak problems. After carefully walking the roof several times and not seeing any problems I finally concluded that the old solid board sheathing was breathing up and down with temperature changes causing some moving around of the Zip. The nail heads were pulling up and down in the Zip, so I finally liquid flashed all the nail heads and a couple of places on the tape, and it sealed up after that.

[@MOUTHonesixtyseven]

those old windows just need some repairs on the sills. they look so cool. make some storm windows for them and save those bad boys.

[@ChrisDarjany]

Did anyone bring up the idea of running furring strips up the rafters to create air space up to a ridge vent? I couldn’t stop thinking that would be a good idea…anyhow…enjoyed this video as always!!

[@tylerpixel]

Stones throw away from that small income property in 2022 and duplex last year!

[@Grantski2007]

We got a tweener looking forward to the series and getting back into the project and seeing what happened when you guys were gone. Love the vids guys keep it up

[@tiny9614]

Have tried using a Potato Fork for shingle removal? I grew up doing roofs with the family and we used potato forks.

[@Themineman1999]

Just the vid i was looking for

[@cullenhallbelmont]

nice dream house

[@AmericanGiGi55]

I love older homes. More wood in that home than many new builds. Great income property

[@suzanneh1605]

Take it to the studs, fellas! :) Foundation will be an interesting problem for you all and for us to watch, heheh.

[@Mr1jimmer]

It's always a pleasure to watch the crew deconstruct, before they construct .. Speaking of watch .. Eric you must think we viewers are strapped with green backs, because a Holzkern Watch is too GD expensive for the average KZbin viewer, and unless you own a business or work for the Perkins Brothers, or the government there's not to many who can afford a time piece that cost over $200 .. Keep Doing What Your Doing .. Because What You Are Doing Is Building Stuff One Step At A Time ..

[@occulus2615]

Cedar shakes probably have lead paint on them.... not great kindling lol

[@95thousandroses]

Yep, unfortunately for Jason, those need to go in a landfill and not a burnpit

[@wallysnakes2690]

doesnt look like lead paint to me. Lead paint usually has a scaly look

[@JoshuaRes]

I had the same thought.

[@mrblock]

Yeah, I am assuming that they did test for lead before getting into the demo. I think it would be good content for the channel to talk about testing for the presence of lead-based paints before beginning demolition. I think a video like this that doesn't talk about the potential lead hazard can be a bit misleading to builders and homeowners who see this video and may get the impression it is safe to dive straight into demolition on an old building without consideration of potential lead hazards. I feel like many builders / contractors have still not be educated on the existence of lead on old buildings and the hazards that come with it--especially to young children.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

It did have modern looking screws under it, so it may not be that old 🤷‍♂️
