Replacing Weatherboards

[@lorettefleming4922]

Best video ever! Every instruction given is a gem - the multitool, where to place the nails, etc. Made my first ever weatherboard replacing job so easy (only time I had a problem was if I did NOT follow one of your instructions!). Thank you so much - and I got myself a multitool out of it too, which is a little ripper and is going to be so useful for so many jobs.

Love that you're doing it with pluggas on

[@grantpalmer85]

although i know it and was looking for other info this is the first video i've watched on replacing weatherboards where you mentioned priming the joins which is surprising as i watched the top 4 and none of them mentioned it but my boss always told me to do it and do it right.. very impressed you put it in the video. legend

Awesome video. I watched a Bunnings tutorial before this and the guy managed to do everything you did, but in a more complicated way with mistakes. Didn't mention painting the ends either, which makes perfect sense.

Great video. Easy to understand. I'm a second year apprentice and boss is already giving me multiple jobs by my self, quick tip videos are great. I'm doing a weatherboard renovation for a friend of mine and this video was simple and easy! Please upload more tips and tricks of the trade. Cheers!

LittleBlack thanks for the great feedback, it’s appreciated! Good luck in your apprenticeship 👍

[@builderonline3369]

Thanks for the great feedback 👍 appreciated!

Awesome advice to paint the ends, bottom and top before nailing the replacement cladding in. I'll be using the multitool as well to cut the old stuff out. Much easier than using a skill saw.

Going to have to do this myself soon and your video was a huge help, thanks!

love the the safety boots

[@notthatkindofsam]

Excellent video. Thank you so much

[@rattedbug5003]

Very clear explanation thanks 🙏

[@firstreviewer8966]

Not too sure about your footwear safety, but your video on replacing board siding is excellent. Thank You, very much, FR

[@AntonyHart]

That's totally legit in NZ...

[@darrenmars]

I'm embarking on a project to replace a lot of rotten boards on our house. No one else has mentioned where nails should go as you have, or explained why they should be where you say. No one else mentioned painting joins either, or why... I think you've potentially saved me 000's of dollars and loads of wasted time.

[@anthonycoleman1909]

Great tip about painting the ends

[@builderonline3369]

Thanks for the feedback Grant!!

[@amitgoel9714]

thanks for all the knowledge

[@dogsarebetterproductions]

Did you cut your boards to the right size with the multitool?

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

Thanks mate !

[@jock578]

What would you reccommend for filling the nailholes before painting? I've tried several gap fillers but they end up with a dimple when they dry.

[@builderonline3369]

Glad to help 👍

[@garyconcept]

hello, what kind of nail and how depth of nail you used?

[@tmuxor]

He used galvanised nails. Not sure on length.

[@bernardmatthews5623]

I am looking at buying a multi tool but also wondering if a jigsaw would do the cutting or is that a bit too risky?

[@labibbidabibbadum]

No, don't use a jigsaw. Even a cheap Ozito multi tool will work perfectly. I've got one I've had for 10 years. Cost me about $50 or something. Jigsaw won't cut straight (i.e. blade often bends away from 90 degrees to the surface making it hard to line up your new board). Also it will plunge way too deep into your wall, maybe hitting other stuff inside like insulation or power cables. Thirdly, at the bottom edge, you will cut into the board below if you use a jigsaw.

[@hubristicmystic]

PPE? hearing protection mate, would you recommend soakers in any circumstance?

[@rossbyrne6768]

Can't thank you enough.. COuldn't work out which way to cut into the weatherboard..Multi Tool is the way to go

Hit nails over so they don’t go in your Aussie work boots !

[@mwc33]

haha getting a lil exited there 😆

[@gwynsea8162]

Paint is surely just causing problems later. Why not fit pressure treated wood and leave unpainted? Lasts for years and years

[@simonwallace699]

Because treated pine looks awful.

[@morganbullen9743]

Make sure you wear proper safety shoes before doing this yourself.

[@lonepineX]

he is! Chinese safety boots, can't go wrong
