[@thomasbrunosr.283]

As an old man who does handyman projects I find your video very informative and helpful. Keep them coming

[@jvandeEi1]

I am a finish carpenter and was impressed with the quality of your work on this project. Great job!

[@svenjorgensen5]

The thing I like about this channel is how he shows how he overcomes these little unexpected problems. All those home improvement channels always make everything look so easy because it's always some perfect setup and they never run into unexpected scenarios.

[@gaasyendietha5070]

Yes! It actually helps because I encounter the some of the same unexpected problems seen in these videos

[@elijahkelley2726]

I had a very similar project. I replaced the beams with pvc boards. But that’s a flawless job. From one handyman to another great job !

[@redbuds69]

Handyman, just came across this video. Enjoy watching your videos and wanted to send a helping tip your way. The post wrap materials on the rack you hauled back. I use the small roll of packing saran wrap to keep the materials from flapping in the wind and breaking. Works out pretty good for me. Keep safe & happy building.

[@phatrides222000]

Excellent work. Glad to see people taking pride in their work.

[@herrpez]

That held up since 1994? That in and of itself is actually remarkable.

[@jesusostos3184]

Love that mariachi song.. Like you more now buddy!!!

[@skyjaeben]

I recovered pool tables for quite a few years. Using a pair or small wire cutters to pinch and pull the staples or nails out is the only way. After a while it's like second nature. Pinch then wrist, pinch then wrist, race through the demo

[@robtustison612]

Life of a handy man. Best believe i know!! Been doing handy man work for about 6+ years on my own!!

[@randybarnes8454]

I know it's 4 years ago but the panels covering the posts is called Masonite. I've come across that stuff on home's from the mid 80s to late 90s. The only way I found to help it last longer is I always painted the back and edges and caulk all seams. Maybe this will help someone cause I'm sure you've already been there done that. I've had my handyman business since 1995.

[@securetechlocksmithco.7383]

Nice job. and thank you for mentioning the pricing for that job. it helps to put tings in to perspective.

[@noahkelchner276]

Keep a roll of packing Saran Wrap and use that on the front of boards. You can get in the moving section of one the big box stores

[@brendo7363]

bro, duct tape.

[@arubanjames]

My house was built as a “semi permanent” beach cottage in 1950, 70 years ago, the front pillars and beams are painted pine, and when I bought the house the paint was peeling off from years of neglect. A quick scrape, caulk and coat of paint and they look great, a new house made of cardboard and it’s trash in a couple years…

[@manueliruegas5490]

Run your reciprocating saw demo blade against the post so you can cut or rip those staple off crazy fast that's what I do for studs after sheetrock demo as well

[@Noshow.4880]

Love your attention to detail!

[@kiwdwks]

Nicely done. You don't mess around...you work fast and do things well. Thanks for sharing...

[@hebemis]

I've got that same Dewalt table saw, been working for 10 years w/o any hitches, seeing your video where you remove the clear guard made me remember I must have stashed mine somewhere? 🤔 ... oh well, haven't used or needed it because I can remember 6th/7th grade wood shop safety lessons about where your hands go, kick back, and push sticks.

[@dang5203]

I like to wrap loose ends in painters tape for the commute.

[@jeffheiges9479]

Is Ways enjoy watching your professionalism and your quality work. However, one of my greatest enjoyment is listening to your sense of humor. Sets you apart by far

[@charlesharris6070]

Fantastic Handyman we need more people like you and know what they doing to take pride in their work👍🏾

[@neilsonlee7610]

I’m a firm believer in concrete columns. I’ve had situations where houses have a single 4x4 rotten on the bottom. Here In Florida most houses are block . So I just put up a half block column with rebar and concrete strap it to the hoist and never have to worry about it again.

[@thehandyman215]

I see you using your finger to cover the nail holes, I used to do that but to me it just never looked good so I got a 1 inch wide flexible putty knife and it looks amazing covering nail holes, hard to tell where the nails are. Nice work by the way. A large part of my work is repairing rott.

[@michaelbethell3621]

Way to not sell out. You’re the best youtuber imo I watch every video. Really impressed with that barn door handle I hope the customers liked it.

[@kurtsimmons1587]

You should carry several straps always. You can use one for the ends that way.

[@elizabethliska5377]

I use a folding table. Then you do not have to bend down to saw or work on stuff. Helps your back out alot.

[@eb8670]

You do great work! I respect that you complete your work as if it was on your own house.

[@loudozer2416]

I did some calculations, and it seems (on a slow day), you make around between three and four hundred thousand a year... good for you sir, you deserve it.

[@TheHandyman1]

Keep in mind I only work 8 months out of the year.

[@finntexbuild4809]

@The Handyman // I always wrap plastic wrap on a ends of the boards when I carry them on a vehicle’s roof, no snapping.

[@dainmenacher5996]

Pro tip man get you a small set of flush snips like what farriers use make a small slide hammer 18 in. Weld em together Would of sped this job up by 1/2 or better... I've used mine on roof repairs siding repairs Ect

[@josephlacerra8433]

I must say that I would rate you more as a general contractor, a one-man shop, than a handyman. Where I live, handymen are folks who do the little jobs contractors won't touch, like replacing a light switch or re-washering a faucet. As a building manager, I was always wary of handymen who arrived sporting all spanking new tools in pristine tool pouches. These are guys new to the business and I have actually seen them get in over their heads and run off a job at mid-point. Aside from all that, I enjoy your videos very much.

[@TheHandyman1]

Its just my name on youtube. I don't market myself as a handyman in real life. I have a GC license but don't sub out the work.

[@abacab87]

The worst are the handymen who show up in a station wagon with an extension ladder tied to the roof.

[@georgefriesen3001]

Yeah... I would have loved to see you make the cuts around the beam trim!!!

[@Dimythios]

Okay you got me with the Mexican song... good job on that.

[@michaelbethell3621]

Would love to see a video on how to build a deck. I think a lot of people would have use for that.

[@TheHandyman1]

I have a deck to build in 2 weeks. 12 feet by 16 feet.

[@michaelbethell3621]

The Handyman I know you’re in the market for a new truck. If you need any help deciding the pros and cons of gas vs diesel, let me know I have experience with both.

[@TheHandyman1]

Thanks I'll keep that in mind when I get some money saved up.

[@ikelittle3068]

Hey handyman those new style crescent wrench pliers that have the joint that lock in any position are perfect to pull those mini crown staples out that have the cardboard under them nice little jaw grabs most every time and just rock it across the back of the pliers. Also perfect for getting those Staples out of carpet padding and tack strip when removing. Love your videos not trying to be a smart-ass I just saw those Kliens in your hand and remembered how I used to struggle with those.

[@frankgalligan9111]

Caulking nail heads always shows .Try painters putty or window glazing compound. It never ghosts thru.Also,wouldn’t the smooth side of the Azek look cleaner for a post?very good job though.I wish we had more ranch houses in New England.At 65 it starts to suck.Good luck man,you’re doing it right unlike so many others...

[@jeremiahosullivan3033]

Hey also next time you have to wrap four by fours with paint grade exterior wood, Lowe's sells the armor wood that's available in 3 and 1/2 in and 5 in so you won't even need to get at your table saw! If you don't mind having the butt joints on the face of your columns then you can just 45 miter your top and bottom post base and top covers and you're good to go with a tight beat of caulk and paint Within an hour. It's all three quarter Finger Joint Pine and as long as you have an inch and a half of space from your post to the edge of your deck this may be a good option in the future.

[@mikesmith-bj7nd]

finger joints dont hold up outdoors

[@aaron8564]

Great video you did great work. Glad they called you to get the job done the right way.

[@gustavomacall6267]

Excellent job sir , great attention to detail .

[@toddweller]

Awesome job! That kind of workmanship is why your phone rings off the hook with referrals!

[@moonblink]

looks awesome. and the trim/siding piece was a nice touch. really good work. thanks for the video.

[@zookini]

Great work, thank you for sharing!

[@larrysmith4619]

"Lady of the house" handyman translation = babe alert! Lol fyi

[@frankie2234]

When transporting siding like that I would clamp the edge to make it all one piece. Just a thought. Like the channel.

[@farukatasever2933]

Or just tape them together?

[@Txcowboy80]

I knew you reminded me of someone. "Karl Urban". Ha!

[@paulsmallriver6066]

that little chop saw is cool!

[@jeremiahosullivan3033]

I can't remember the name of it but it's basically MDF core wrapped with ACQ ply veneer. yes it can be used on exteriors but is not recommended for moisture prone areas. It is a material that is more commonly only use back in the 90s as a cheap source for doing soffits. I'm from Northeastern area and I don't run across it off in myself but it's obviously not available on the shelves for a reason if you know what I mean

[@marioq.gonzales1902]

What's up with the tex-mex music, that's frinking great. Great work also.

[@actuallowroller]

Fantastic job and so nice to see pride in ones work! Thanks for another awesome video.

[@jesterraj]

Wow 8pm and its still bright out..........

[@philrabe910]

Plywood as trim. Sounds like a theatre set. Never ever let plywood edges be exposed to the elements. I don't care what you paint /seal the edges with. Marine grade ply makes little difference. I notice they never bothered to pre prime the plywood, didn't prime the back, so it never had a chance of living more than 10 years.

[@mattstackhouse6292]

Phil Rabe agree with you totally. Just mitre the edges of the ply to join together and you are all set.

[@ericvondumb2838]

Phil Rabe: Agreed, kind of. Depends on the environment it is used in. i.e. high desert to swamps, Longest lasting job I had was in Chicago. 1991 pre-primed standard plywood, 2 coats, still good to go. They recycled the garage and the plywood... who'd of thought. LMAO

[@jaydegelder2964]

I laughed when you played that music ....I YI YI YI !!!! @ 21:25

[@royc8186]

I use fence type tool for removing staples, like tile nippers, pulls them out and nails fast.

[@bubbleteaexpress2952]

informative-- friendly reminder avoid distractions while driving. thankyou

[@TheHandyman1]

You're welcome

[@DeWittPotts]

That material is MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) with a very thin wood veneer. This is meant for interior cabinets and trim. It is not a exterior product by any stretch of the imagination.

[@ronniebuchanan6575]

It's a Masonite type siding.

[@morriskohanfars]

Could you do a video of how you got those perfectly mitered corners?

[@rpprevost]

Monster is also my drink of choice when I'm out all day. I fill a thermos with 2 of those before I leave the house in the morning.

[@winechuckle344]

Great job. Thanks for posting!

[@jessede1970]

Hi handyman great video today on the corner of that house you do amazing jobs 😀😀😀I'm jess from Helland in Cornwall in the UK my best to you 😀😀😀😀

[@TheHandyman1]

Name of the song is Mariachiando

[@felix1sjb]

The Handyman eres hispanos? Saludo tus videos me han ayudado bastante.

[@llaneelyort5599]

showing how you did the custom top cuts would have been nice.

[@tyroneclarke1666]

Mighty fine job done young fella. Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺

[@johnstone9862]

Use a bungee cord, shrink wrap or rope to bind the front of the boards together it will keep them from breaking. I did it for years

[@patharris5004]

When he was talking about China I though he was going to say BUUUUT this is a really cool cup

[@hirammartinez952]

Love what you do thank you for your time keeping it real just don’t know about that painting 👍👍up

[@TVCanT]

Poking the safety trolls by removing the table saw guard and free handing. They must be all over you for that.

[@super_slo]

Loved the extra focus on that provided by the slow-mo. 🤣

[@Johnnyrad1683]

Ya, MDF, and yes they use for siding but I think has been impregnated with a weatherproof whatever. For me I'd use a hardibacker product which is cement would never rot or a solid wood product.

[@edb2720]

I'm surprised those cardboards lasted for 20 years without looking completely rotten.

[@fixerupperer]

30+ years

[@Baldmanblades]

30 year in the business get your self some tile nippers to pull nails works great the round on the nippers gives you Leverage

[@timj5367]

On the positive side, they did use pressure treated. They should have used 6x 6 pressure treated post....Love the channel ! 😁

[@johnhodg8400]

The mexican music near the end. LOL !!!

[@lebronjameslol3521]

Last time I wandered wrong direction into the city cop was in front of me in line at store. Heard his radio, shots fired a few blocks away. I dont go that way anymore unless I have no choice. It pisses me off but Im somewhat fortunate and its a pain in the ass living here.

[@JA-ut8fi]

That planer is money!

[@FranciscoLopez-sw5jg]

@21:17 I shot a bean out my nose. Nice work man!

[@svogel54]

Beautiful high-quality

[@stevenlee4867]

I Dig that Work vest. Gunna get one.

[@geovilchis3746]

Tha song at the end was perfect I will listen to it when I work tomorrow lmao

[@JOSHUAloves1]

Yeah I'm going to go look for the scanner app. thanks. That's great work!!

[@FNGstationtwentyeigh]

I would have used a long metal cutting blade in my Sawzall to cut all the staple/rot clumps flush with core post... thats just me...but I'm lazy and old. .your method stripping the posts works well too.. ( did I mention I'm old n lazy ? Lol )

[@CindyHeff]

love your chipmunk voice funnies

[@kirkfranks1]

Since it was a tract neighborhood you could probably get a lot of mostly the exact same work if the same siding contractor was used. Adjust the estimate from what you learned on this job.

[@goingslightlymad7172]

I drink purple Monsters! Oh and the white ones are good too! :)

[@robkaiser1047]

That wall on the left heading to the front door is in serious need of re-siding. Great vid by the way.

[@ratfink9205]

You do good work. I guess the one positive of these shitty contractors throwing up garbage is it keeps folks like us busy.

[@russellholliday5476]

do you have a video where you show how you measure and cut those weird angles like you did in the top and bottom trim?

[@davidbierhup5305]

Sometimes violence is the answer. I use my trusty angle grinder with cutoff wheel to knock off staples and nails from plaster and lathe from framing.

[@fireblaster9961]

Put some tape round the end of the boards to prevent braking off down the road

[@Chanhee]

JINA. finally someone else uses my jina reference from the holy lord dondald trump

[@CoolHand24]

what brand of nail guns do you recommend for trim work like in this video and framing walls?

[@davesilvia9711]

you gonna need two diffrent guns.

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video handyman

[@JOSHUAloves1]

Stinking smart man!

[@galenjohnson1152]

You make things look easy I'm learning a lot

[@jamessullivan2930]

That's a Joe Smoe Job as I Call it. Love the Videos. I'm a Handyman myself. Appreciate your time in making these. What kind of Tool Vest are your wearing? 2x4s top and bottom will do magic for the boards on ladder rack. 👍💪

[@chinookhelomech4059]

A lot of shoddy companies and contractors used that material for trim / siding, and even on the face of hollow core garage doors in the late 1980's and thru the late 1990's. All that stuff does is adsorb moisture and then explode.... Worst idea ever for a material to use outdoors. I did a lot of replacement jobs on garage doors where the door panels covered in that stuff were swelled up and falling apart in less than 10 years from being installed.

[@AMindInOverdrive]

Be careful with that Monster drink. A drywaller I know near where I live, lost his healthy adult son to a heart attack. He said when they were cleaning his son's apartment they found bins full of empty Monster energy drink cans. His son had been drinking a lot of them and he was pretty sure they had some part in his son's death. Maybe one every now and then is no problem but I'm still cautious about them after hearing that.

[@ze_german2921]

I used to work with a guy that drank nothing but NOS Energy drinks, He now has a tube going to his liver and is on disability. He is 34Years

[@kristinareeves612]

I drink 4 monsters a day,.my shit is green but that's ok it's legal meth

[@corey4688]

I wouldn't blame just the energy drinks. It has to be some kind of genetics as well. If it was just energy drinks then the entire military would be dead. I know guys who drink 4 or 5 a day.

[@zmoney1212]

I know of a guy who drank water...ended up starting a world war and killing millions of people. Monster cant be as bad as that.

[@kimmomarlow4125]

Yep big numbers, several months went by since he gave the initial estimate.

[@robtustison612]

Thats is use here in Missouri for sofet boards all the time. And I don't understand why

[@mmmlllzzz100]

good job. you could have done it in half the time if you brought off the shelf external trim for the out side corners ,you could have cut the siding within 1/4 inch and not have to worry about being accurate because the coverage of the external trim would have covered it. Sure it would cost more in materials but taken you far less time and enabled you to use your time on another project. Just my thoughts, but hey maybe the homeowner didnt want external trim ...

[@TheHandyman1]

It would't match anything on the rest of the house doing it that way.

[@mmmlllzzz100]

rodger that .good work .

[@miyong7699]

Same here monster my daily coffee 😂

[@davfinport]

3 per day here

[@843292]

I liked in your other video where you put up the amounts that you made. It was fun watching your income rack up!
