Hey Eric and Jamie. My name Steve and my brother is Ivan. We are two brothers from Ontario Canada. We are 46 and 44 years old and we are also home builders and renovators. We were also raised from a young age building with our father. We both follow your channel and now look on making our own channel here in Canada. It’s nice to see two brothers working together as we are. Great channel and we are now in contact with Evolve stone to introduce that product here in our area. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@NeilRobicheau]

Cedar is a readily available wood in the northeast. It has great resistance to both rot and insects. It also weathers beautifully. Since there are a lot of older homes, cedar was the wood of choice over the past couple centuries since they didn’t have fancy stuff like pressure treated, OSB, etc. That’s why it’s used there.

[@PlowingwithMike]

Being a builder in Massachusetts for many years I can say we use cedar shakes as well as cedar clapboards for siding for thier natural resistance to insects and water damage. I would love to be able to use that osb siding you use but dont believe it would hold up against our climate. Keep up the awesome videos, you guys rock!!!

[@Bubba_fett]

Its actually cypress, we need to start calling it right. There is no cedar in America only cypress and juniper.

Cedar shake siding and roofing up north (especially New England) was a popular choice going all the way back to colonial times due to it's nature resistance to rot and general weather resistance. However, these days nobody uses it for roofing, and only wealthy people will use it for siding due to it's cost, but also to maintain its historical aesthetics.

[@willemvanschaik6858]

Most important (as you did !!) don't nail on first and paint the wall later. It is a hell of a job to paint in the narrow gaps (shingles shrink), plus no protection of the back-side. Our house in Nova Scotia is all Atlantic cedar shingles, so I know the burden :). For the back-side only paint the bottom inch. Both me and my wife can paint a full bundle of shingles in 20-30 mins, still a lot of work. Here a technique for drying: lay them in a circle, 6' diameter and the thick part of the shingles facing outwards. Then put layer on layer, the painted ends hardly touch. We have had in the garage stacks up to four feet high. Another time we white-washed them, Fill the first bucket with 6" of paint/thinner mix and dump the shingles in. Then take (by the handful, wear gloves) all of them out and put 'paint down' in bucket two to let excess white-wash drip off. Lastly, put that stack in bucket three, but now upside down, so painted end upside. This prevents marks on the painted surfaces. Wait a minute and then move them to the drying pile. Paint collected in bucket 2 and 3 goes back into bucket 1. Using this method we did at least four bundles per hour.

[@philbrickvideography2757]

I grew up in New Hampshire near the seacoast, and many New England homes, especially near the ocean are sided with Cedar shakes because they are extremely really weather resistant especially to the salt water/salt air.

[@daviddziegielewski653]

That was definitely a fun build. Thanks for the video.

[@MagWaster]

Stayed at the Hazel House (a previous PB series) for my honeymoon. Walked by BCO everyday walking to other business or on morning walks. GO THERE and STAY THERE. We did Disney and Universal the second week and agreed Bryson City was the best part. Plan to come back and stay in the tiny Airbnb they built.

[@stevebloch3184]

Cedar shakes are typically not allowed as roofing in most neighborhoods as fire can jump from one house to the next. But in a rural situation I'm sure it's acceptable.

[@FramingWithG]

Gable end Cedar Shake came out very nice! Arlo = 🐐

[@mrfochs]

All those shakes work great for door and window install shims.

[@brycehinton7860]

We pre-paint our smart side before we install. Then second coat in place after caulking. Just stack them up on saw horses and roll both edges and the face. As you paint the face you set it aside. Goes super fast.

[@HowP88]

Pleeeease come back to do a full tour when completely finished! 🙂

Cedar shakes are great for a harsh environment. Naturally water resistant, thick coverage and, most importantly, easy to repair when damaged.

[@alexeypyzhov120]

I used to install synthetic teak decks on boats, and we always caulked all perimeter edges, and it had to be beautiful. So we used a lighter to soften the plastic of a tip in a specific spot and actually had 2-3 different shapes for different tight areas.

[@about1minute47]

I hope to see a video when the house is completely done 😊

[@Trishpage312]

It’s SO CUTE! Very nice!

[@dhawthorne1634]

I've helped with two "waterproof" decks before. The first was a small front porch like that which had an intentional slope of about a half inch per foot and a sealed sheet of 1/8" ply under the boards with the boards running the same direction as the slope. The second was built as a normal deck then had one inch per foot sloped tracks framed in with some 2x2 that could hold corrugated panels just under the deck boards and guide the water out to the side. The galvanized panels lasted about 15 years then got swapped for plastic.

[@dlgloege]

I grew up In Kansas. They use cedar shakes there as roofing because it stands up to against hail damage. Now I live along the Southern Outer Banks and shakes are used a lot here to resist wind damage. Love the videos.

Cedar siding was used heavily where I am at the Jersey shore. Rot, bug, And salt air resistant. Lasts for hundreds of years properly maintained. The salt air is rough and we have to use resistant materials.

[@candycrusher45]

Beautiful job guys!

Cedar is a very resinous wood, among bug resistance and rot resistance it holds up very very well to salt water.

[@ihulvey]

Loved this build as my current home has a super similar paint/trim color scheme. Lots of great ideas for upgrades!

[@paulpoco22]

In the BC Lower Mainland for 1989 built Townhouses we had cedar shakes for the roof. Then in 2006 they went to re-roof, remove shakes, put plywood down, new asphalt shingles. I think at one time cedar shakes were cheaper than asphalt shingles, you didn't need plywood on the roof just strips of wood to nail the shakes on to.

[@OnusofStrife]

Cedar siding up north is really just a stylistic choice now. Historically here in New England you'd see it on the coasts I'm guessing because it didn't need paint.

[@corneliusconijn881]

I live in what I believe to be the only authentic Cape Cod house west of the San Jacinto River, Cedar shingles on the walls, 11 inch reveal. Cedar roof shingles (Royals, 24 inches) with a 7-1/4 reveal. The original roof was installed in 1956, curled, cupped, ugly as hell, and zero leaks.

[@williammoore4101]

You guys could have hats with designs named after each of you. The Jaime could have a base design of a bunch of text. The Erik could be coffee stuff. The Johno could be outdoorsy. The Ray could be just a bunch of question marks. And The Arlo could actually be carpenter stuff like speed squares, chalk lines, and pencils.
