As a 36 year old carpenter it’s a pleasure to watch someone Arlo’s age still excel at his job and see the joy on his face. It’s clear he loves what he does.

Pro tip... Cut a piece of romex at about 6". Remove wire and paper sheath. Slide romex tube over caulk tip. You now have a flexible caulk dispenser.

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.

[@pfak]

And northwest.

[@jamespppyacek342]

@@Bubba_fett/ Um, no. Incense cedar is a very common tree species here in California.

[@jamespppyacek342]

We used redwood here in the West for the same reason. Plus it's beautiful. Now there's hardly any old-growth left.

Wood shingles are sawn. Shakes are split, and are much thicker. Shakes are used for roofs.

[@mojofunkbluesmaster6421]

Discovered this channel a month or so ago. Sat on me couch in Hull, UK and devouring as much content as I can. Spent many years working in factories or as a labourer in some way or another and the interactions you guys have make me miss that camaraderie!

[@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.

[@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.

[@Yo_AB_Breaks]

There are cut-men and there is Arlo. What a legend.

[@RenBobbins]

The last thing I expected today was a collab on a video between the Perkins crew and the Singletrack Sampler. 💪🏼

[@WorldWideWillem-360]

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.

[@curiouscat3384]

That's the best Pro Tip ever - just toss the shingles in the grass to let the stain dry, lol

[@Wait...whaaat]

Thumbs up for Jay!

[@govolsfightvolsfight2908]

Pro tip, use electrical Heatshrink tubing to fit in those small hard to get places! You can even step down the sizes to tiny and as long as you want!

[@anson12288]

love to see renovation video instead of new built. I saw people use a lighter to heat up the caulking tip to soften it and bend it. Haven't tried it personally tho

Love to see this when Ben is done.

I’m gonna be completely honest, this is the first structure I’ve seen you guys paint that I actually love the exterior color. Homeowner actually has a sense of style how about that!

[@saint-miscreant]

this! it’s the perfect amount of pop and distinctiveness if you want a non-boring house but don’t want to paint it pastel (which is also cute and very cheery, but probably hard to maintain)

[@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.

[@jaelenreed8723]

[@karlmckinney8469]

If I’m remodeling my house I would Jamie to give me advice. He is always thinking. The entire crew fits together perfectly

[@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.

[@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.

[@Jburden551]

When your caulk tip is too short add a piece of tubing to extend it to the length you need.

[@justinbudreau3808]

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

[@matteberry58]

Redoing the frieze board definitely looked better. It's such a cute little house.

[@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.

[@kevinmorgan8601]

I love the look of the stained cedar shake. I wouldn’t have guessed it would look so nice. The way the grain and some of the red shines through is great.

[@BrianSimpson-tk3xj]

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

[@leslieapplegate65]

It looks great. I would love to see the interior when Ben finishes it.

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.

[@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.

[@mrfochs]

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

[@RobertRentschler]

One little detail I do is paint the electrical box and the gas meter the same color as the siding or brick that they are mounted up against, ya it's just a little thing but it makes them disappear/blend in and become part of the house rather than an additional eyesore...as well as I always paint the PVC plumbing vent stacks up on the roof the same or close to the color of the shingles or predominant roof color, same goes for the high efficiency furnace vent/intake I paint them the same corresponding colors as the brick or siding, everyone I have done the owner appreciates it!!! Just another "attention to detail" that most miss...and it only take a few minutes!!! I call it Value added!!! always leave them wanting more!!!

[@dhawthorne1634]

Here in PA, shake siding isn't as common, but up in New England it is a WAY more prevalent. Historically, cedar was a preferred material for exterior applications because it is naturally rot resistant and insect repellent. New England has a lot of areas where you have to maintain the house in a historical aesthetic.
