Installing The BEST Looking Fake Stone on the BEST House

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

1 million 360 thousand subs! Your channel definitely deserves the recognition, Kyle! You are always showing the good bad and ugly and some good tips and tricks. I think one of the greatest learning curves is seeing the mistake corrected. I think it delivers more knowledge in the process! Especially when it comes to understanding. I've watched your channel for a lot of years now! Previously under my own name, until a couple of years ago, which is Danny. Really liked some of your honest reviews on your Tools Tuesday videos! I found that saved me from having to find out the hard way about flaws a power tool or cordless had! That's definitely worth a lot, and you always showed how you laid out for the foundation and on up. Thanks, Kyle!

[@RRBuildings]

Thanks Danny

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

@@RRBuildings you’re very welcome, Kyle! I have no doubt you will reach 2 million this year! There’s a lot of construction workers out there that will be glad to find your channel! I’m glad you never stopped doing the videos, and I know it slows you down a bit to do the job and take the time to break it down and give tips! Thank you!

[@akasdou]

​@RR Buildings, where are you located, and do you have any good references that have the same integrity as you and your staff do in chicago? I'm looking to do an addition to my ranch home. Thank you in advance!

[@LoredanaKeks]

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s kzbin.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

[@cornpop7805]

I REALLY appreciate this guy's work and that he shares everything with us!

Who ever is doing the filming is doing a really good job---

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I'm impressed with the smart side trim. I'm glad you gave that info on how long the back of those trims have been exposed to weather through the winter months. I also like how you fasten the frames with you jigs. I saw one of your videos recently where you went back to one of your jobs that had all the wood paneling inside and the trims around the doors and windows inside and well they held up and still looked like they had been when you first installed them all. Good pro for using jigs to fasten the frames for the doors and windows before you hang them! Thanks for showing that!

[@AdventuresWithC3]

It was because of your original videos we decided to use Versetta...although we may have taken it all the way to the roof line 2 stories up. It really does look real.

[@leonkienow6830]

Thanks RR Buildings for the construction video on the install. Great Kyle !!!

[@joeyl5994]

I love the attention to detail man

[@hootowl6354]

A natural-born teacher. Good job.

[@jeffgibson1816]

Hey Brother mechanic,like your style. You really know how to talk to folks, nice job man and your works excellent

[@daryldavirro4237]

The way you had to free hand those cuts on the saw is just like we have to do setting ceramic tile. Nice job

[@FlatRoofAddict]

Is there anything you are bad at? I’ve been following you for a while and you are by far the best. Your attention to detail is completely outstanding.

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I ended up using the LP Smart Side trim on my mobile home because of seeing you use it on your buildings. I think you were residing a house you bought when I decided to go with the trim for my mobile home! I'm really happy with it now several years later! I had already put up a composite siding from Lowe's called "Knotty wood". If I ever redo the siding, I will definitely change that. I also used the Zip flashing around the 2x4 seals on my windows and doors after seeing you use it on some of your buildings. I had to redo every window and door because of water rot as well as most of the 2x6 band that goes around the base of the outside walls. I used the Lowe's house wrap when I resided. Really, I am hoping it will protect it from any water seeping in and also air. I had to add 5 roof vents, but I'm wanting to redo the aluminum roof some day with wood and asphalt shingles, hoping to make it last a little longer. there's several reasons to get away from the old aluminum roof, but I've used ideas rebuilding my mobile home from products you use on your builds. I just thought I would share that.

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I've seen you use a reference line for many of your projects. It makes sense to use! Uniformity on window height is definitely important when it comes down to whatever you're going to put up for siding!

[@jonathanblasruiz3381]

Hey my friend I from Mexico I love your videos and too me you amazing contractor you really explain everything like the way needs to be 👍🏾 of course I like the perfection you do the work

[@LanreLordHaliax]

Thanks for posting. We're starting to install a lot of this product at my work. Anything I can learn about it beforehand is a boon. Cheers

[@KevinDennehy-k9t]

Rustoleom makes a textured paint that you can spray your cut ends with. I started using it on versetta installs and it gives a better finished product!

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I definitely like the Mor-Flex for the stone against the trim! It looks better than some average silicone or water soluble caulking. I used some colored caulking on my outside trim that's paintable when I redone the trim and siding on my mobile home. Small things like that make something look a little better!

[@jamesadams893]

It's good to see that versetta stone is one of your sponsors

[@kevinpuliatch4539]

Great work vibe Appreciate to you and your crew’s dedication and video’s

[@BigJohnson1566]

Slick work fellas.

[@Overpar73]

Very good tips Kyle, also very nice looking stone!

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I agree with the tape on top of the Bell box for the outside plug. When I've done some remodel work on older homes, that is one of the place that seems to get water rot on wood; sometimes worse than others. I think that is a great preventative measure for sure! Better safe than sorry. The same with windows and doors. in front of doors on mobile homes is one of the common places for water rot on subflooring is in front of the front door, and around windows, and I think the windows are do to using single pane windows with aluminum with no insulator between the inside and outside of the frames, and the condensate around the frame eventually rots through the wood around the window. I've seen it over and over, so I really like what you do with the flashing, whether it be for the doors, windows or wood plates sitting on concrete floors; great barrier to moisture!

[@paulg2132]

Great job! I love the look.

[@dennyb3518]

Appreciate how meticulous your thoughts and work are!!! One simple question: doesn't it create a possible air or water leak with every nail? You tape all the seams with precision, but nothing on any of the nails?

[@davel2223]

Kyle, if the face of versetta stone is hand painted, what will it look like in years to come when the paint wears off or fades?

[@petersweeney5777]

This guy needs his own talk show……..

[@johncass4539]

Kyle and Greg you are awesome keep up the great work 👍🏻. Love the channel

[@jakebarnsbarnes1537]

Kyle.. fellow typ A here. How do you factor in the extra time in your bid for the give a damn vs all the " it looks good from my house" folks and still come in at a competitive number? I completely understand a 1/16 here or 1/4 there is not going to matter to the customer, but i also know its going to keep me awake at night as is losing a bid. Excellent work and greatly appreciate you and your team.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks Kyle, for yet another awesome video. 👍😁

[@carlkrewler4084]

Hope you & Greg get to feeling better soon.

[@BiasOfficialChannel]

In Norway, it is common practice to leave a space of 3cm (1,5’’) between the cladding and the wall behind. This is done to allow for proper ventilation and drainage, which helps prevent moisture build-up and subsequent damage to the building structure. Is this not normal in the USA?

[@dougdiplacido2406]

The product used in this video has a built in spacer material on the back.

[@dragoscostyn6895]

Mostly dry in the us

[@robertlaird6746]

That helps a lot. I think I'm going to go with the half thickness red brick with the aluminum track look. It has a tongue and groove type of deal that holds the brick to the aluminum track.

[@GatewayCustomContracting]

Great content as always! Did I notice correctly that you're not running a starter strip with the Versetta? Any pros and cons to leaving it out?

[@vikings844]

10:00, they tell you not to grab the black straps because they can cut you like a knife not because they could break.

[@roderickmarruffo7600]

Seriously impressed, not once did I hear "The angle of the dangle"... lol

[@Tjkrusinski]

this isn't AVE lol

[@juanguzmanphotography4957]

Another great video 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@darrellhovland5078]

You used to use roofing felt behind the verseta stone so there was a dark color behind it in case of any gaps you would not see the substrate color. What changed? It it because you use the new weather logic sheeting?

[@RRBuildings]

Talked to technical at Versetta and not needed and we tried it and couldn’t see thru so said why spend time or money on something we don’t need

[@Freedom17762]

Use a dry erase marker to establish your reference line on the glass.

[@timmernator1]

"Probably should have my glasses on'...lol...I know you read the comments...looks good!

[@Overkillutube]

yes! thank you for the vid and also no laser beeping... its the most annoying sound on vid

[@andrewstanislowski7515]

With your electrical box instead of splitting the stone have you ever remover the bottom locking fin and just glued the stone to the previous? Same with the side lock just easier to remove the lock and keep moving instead of removing the whole row

[@mitchsing1109]

Caulk behind the sill flash , substrate requires adhesive membrane

[@sketch1775]

do you nail into wood studs or just into the sheathing board ? any glue needed behind panels ?

[@joseviera9146]

Amazing!!! Could I put that material on a concrete wall????

[@roybrochu5409]

Perfection.

[@Alex-xe4jk]

If I’m installing this stuff against a driveway that isn’t level do I leave a gap at the bottom or scribe the pieces?

[@jwristen24]

Nice work Kyle. Any reason you didn't use the logic tape over the sill flange? Not trying to knit pick you buddy

[@jonathanmilton9753]

If your using icf can you install this on a wood rain screen?

[@SirNicJohnson]

I never thought versetta stone was a good cladding material due to the lack of a rain screen cavity behind the cladding. After watching this video I decided to actually look up the data sheet for the product and it indicates a built-in 1/4” rain screen. I think this is an important feature for those considering versetta stone.

[@RRBuildings]

Yes… I talked about it in the video

[@indman101]

I know this is a older video but where can I purchase this type of stone looking to copy what you have here.

[@markstipulkoski1389]

I wonder if he would have ever gotten around to nailing those window trims better.😂 Now the homeowner will worry about all the other forgotten stuff!

[@petetoemmes6673]

You thought you made a mistake, but you invented another way to cut Versetta Stone around windows.

[@grmrtnz]

Why you did not tape over all the nails and screws you use to secure each row of smart stone? Wouldn't that represent a potential spot for water penetration?

[@157-40_T]

Realize it’s another detail but as you install stone, make penetrations with screws & nails, why not liquid flash nail and it’s penetration to seal it?

[@stevelim827]

hi just curious, is there a specfic reason you did not use a full piece of stone for the second window?

[@nincompoopgarage9286]

My dog must be broken everytime I watch your videos and it starts beeping. she doesn't move thanks for letting me know my dog's broken I appreciate that LOL

[@michaelmaas5544]

Stone mason in my area gets $25-30 a sf so the cost difference would be huge.

[@terrywolfert8018]

So instead of l.p. siding, how would you start vinyl with a starter or J. ?

[@joedake2287]

Kyle Have you used the "light blocks" for vesetta stone yet? I used them on a home project I did. Worked great.

[@accelement3499]

line edges(doors and windows) with an L track and a flashing on top where needed and paint the cut ends it will look nicer.... 22 and 5/16ths good right hahaha

[@jimmyjackson6522]

Is there a video that has Versetta Stone with Hardy Board above it?

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

Have you seen the Evolution chop saw? I seen a guy using it to cut some thick metal, and it seemed to cut it so easily, and I didn't see any glowing red metal with he was cutting with it. Anyway, just sounded like good knowledge to share.

[@terrancesnyder9323]

GOOD MORNING

[@RCMServices]

Kyle, why don't you use the Versetta stone starter strip?

[@titus450]

What tool belt are you wearing in this video?

[@21gonza21]

Fiber cement trim breaks if you try to take it out :/

[@travismuench]

What is the pencil that you use? Do you have a list of equipment that you use?

[@kamgatombou2795]

Genius

[@mexnation88]

Can you install it over brick if possible? Can you show me how to I live at romeoville il

[@darrellhovland5078]

Why are you not butting into the inside corners? Having it to the trim on the corners makes it look weird IMO.

[@valpanig]

i had the same question when you got to that corner

[@federalnoise]

Never stop, never

[@craigmellott6339]

What kind of pouches do you wear ?

[@simonbleed2029]

Doesn’t that oscillating multi tool have a little masonry blade that could’ve notched that stone? I’m sure I’ve seen it in one of the tool stores. I think. Anyway great job.

[@Symbolizer21]

As an electrician I'm really worried about that electrical box. Locked in with stone and anchored with a threaded conduit connection in the back. It will take some serious damage to replace and I've seen the cast aluminum boxes disintegrate over time from corrosion so it's not a small chance that repair will be needed someday. The simplest solution would have been to extend the pipe and move the box to be on the surface of the stone. Then you can unscrew the box and spin it off the pipe and install a new one.

[@naenae9969]

Shouldn't you be taping the bracket strips before the next course to seal off the screws and nails from water and air?

[@uriahwaller627]

Awesome

[@brianstielow9169]

What is the kind of pencil do you use

[@101egals]

Question? Why doesn't Verseta make inside corners and outside corners?

[@viankalobosvalenzuela7456]

Excelente video saludos 👍

[@espenpespen]

"Vikingarm" you will thank me, I promise

[@espenpespen]

😂

[@carlahrens1411]

nice talk show.

[@rileywhite5091]

in my opinion just make an extra reference line just below the window maybe a little easier

[@michaelponto4954]

The black wrapping band can and will cut your hand Major tendon area = big trouble.

[@fredsnit5699]

Why no batten for air gap?

[@beachboardfan9544]

So its a painted product? How does it look after 20 years?

[@smcox1991]

It’s probably more of stain than paint.

[@yancarloalmonte9296]

where can i order those stone from ' ?

[@jeffsilsbe]

Damn Greg always sick.

[@mikenicholson2548]

Kyle might be a dump question. Why don't you use the level on the nailing flang instead of on top of the stone. Are the flanges not straight.

[@RRBuildings]

Flanges aren’t straight

[@johndzurenko]

Why no insulation over the sheathing?

[@KurtMGibbs]

Have you ever used a rain screen with this product?

[@RRBuildings]

It has a rain screen built it.

[@jjs811]

Do you think this stone would look good inside? Like on a fireplace?

[@Kosta_TheWoodGuy]

yes They have used it on the Cabin build. looked amazing.

Love your work Audio is a little low.

[@onepoket]

What color/style versetta stone is that?

[@Berger-3gun]

for a complete versetta system pending your capstone usage, is more like $25-30 a sqft for only material....

[@MrJuripoll]

What a beautifully done kzbin.infoUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!

[@casycasy5199]

i like the look of the stone ,but i think the cover board should end at the top of the stone.the stone should go all the way to the wall.

[@kalzoli]

Why don't you just snap a line at the top of the first row? Wouldn't it be easier? Just wondering.

[@RRBuildings]

Not that simple to line up and the nail fin isn’t straight enough to go off

[@mrreams711]

Does the bottom row not sit into a starter strip?

[@RRBuildings]

You can we don’t usually

[@HPRaceDevelopment]

what seam tape is that
