A Simple Trick to Fix Cladding and Weatherboards

[@itsmeshawnhogan]

Any day that includes watching a new Scott Brown Carpentry video over a lunch break is a good day. Much appreciation from Prince Edward Island, Canada.

[@MagikEh]

Hehehe, and 2 hours later in Manitoba even xD

I watch alot of carpentry/construction videos on here. I like watching the videos where the guys are using the tools and different ways to use the tools. You are the best at that. I've learn so many ways to get more use out my tools watching your videos. And watch for the new vids on Fridays. Keep up the awesome work.

I felt that weatherboard split in my gut 😂

Cutting that blade is a brilliant tip. Thanks Scott

[@jasonl2095]

SB you are an artist. Thank you for your content!

[@franciskisner920]

In anticipation: In our current house, built around 1890, I put in a new bathroom with a pocket door to save space. It worked so well that I put one in a toilet in the first floor as well. (Also moved a traditional 4 panel door from the second floor to the kitchen so I can say that I can hang a door in two ways.) Thanks for the videos.

[@FeelingLikeThatNow]

I really appreciate the videography, it makes me feel like I'm there. I say you're not a builder until you've hit a pocket door with a nail or screw through the drywall or trim.

[@tanethomas]

This is some old school SBC. Absolutely loved this one!

[@ScotTheGr8]

Nice trick for cutting the top edge of the siding board ends. Very nice! I won’t say how I did it the other day, not nearly as elegant.

[@peeppeep7594]

Thanks mate - I pulled the old kitchen vent out as well and quite a few of our weather boards are looking quite tatty. At least I know what to do now … if only I could find the time 😢

[@omnibuildersnz]

ha!! showed that cut blade trick to the apprentice yesterday its a goodie, but that long bit is definitely better, i also chisel split the top of the board to minimise rick of cracking the nest above then can cut out nails in top bit😎

[@more.power.]

Thank Scotty Jess and Ray I had to complete a repair similar on our home and wish I had see this video last week. Cheers

So good to see your handy work SBC in front of the camera and behind the camera. It is a joy to watch! 😎

Thanks for this video, I went back to it today to see some scenes again, I did the same on my house today :)

[@Nomesification]

Thanks Scott. This is exactly what i need to do on my place. I've done a lot of research on in how to do it, but this simple video is probably the push i need to give it a crack!

[@dhammer5645]

Good job, Jesscasso.

[@nandodavis]

The amount of different tool brands scott uses this video is great, i saw hilti, makita, bosch and is that a hikoki on the ground at arround 3:00

[@mrsarkey]

You missed his festool chop saw

[@wearsjorge55]

The bosch and hilti multitool may as well be the same tool. Both battery platforms are only doing the slim 4ah, big 8ah, big 12ah.

Great production/editing 🎉

[@fredio54]

Dropped 2050nzd on a full M18 track saw setup including 2700, 1400, bags for both, bag for the tool, makita quick clamps, 48 and 24 teeth blades, and the bare saw itself. Running with 3Ah 21700x5 DeWalt battery and adaptor which should be fine for most intents and purposes. Will probably get a second 1400 rail and cut it into 31 and 24 inch pieces for those smaller jobs/cuts in smaller places. Waiting on the tool and makita 3000mm bag so I can pick up the 2700 rail and keep it safe. Can't wait for my next sheet goods project. Baller gear.

[@fredio54]

Challenge, getting the TSO products square out of the US without paying two arms and three legs. Can Gaston help with this?

[@Sol-hl2rj]

Scott, I don’t know building regulations or practice, but a gap of approximately 5mm between the bottom cladding and weatherboard has become the norm here. I lets: Gets you between with a brush for paint, some airing behind very exposed area for rain, lastly there cannot be standing water - it will air dry given a minimum 15° bevel on both the bottom cladding board and the weatherboard. Otherwise top notch as always!

[@johngoodare9122]

Thanks Scott, one of the next jobs on my list is replacing dodgy weatherboards. Looks like a multi tool blade is about to be sacrificed for the greater good.

[@rodrigojosegonzalezarboled2137]

Gonna go and buy and angle grinder and longer blades today, thanks!!! I was also told to cut the ends of the board at a 45 as well?

[@AB-vk2oe]

I would say bevel 3 to 5 degrees to make the front tight.

I find using a curved multi-tool blade makes cutting straight lines much more accurate - I have no idea why!

Great watch...thanks.

[@bertbergers9171]

That segway (is that how you say it??) to the next episode was briliant!!! A bit of a cliffhanger on the split in the old weatherboard with the last nail, how did you deal with that? Don't assume you are the caulk and paint kinda guy.

[@oltedders]

Your beard looks very good.

[@rickharris2840]

Do you think a bit of flashing under that last weatherboard would have been a good idea?

[@SezShares]

Saw the title, realised which room it was, thought "THAT'S where the water was going from the old sink Jess..." Not sure it actually was, but I think about that moment quite a bit. Water mysteriously disappearing heebie jeebies.

[@Pistol_Knight]

Near the ends of boards you should either pilot drill the holes or (the best way, I was taught this many years ago) blunt the 'point' of the nail with your hammer nail in, don't ask me how it works but it does

[@hedge685]

It cuts the wood fibers instead of wedging them apart.

[@ronmurphy4234]

@@hedge685But it doesn't split the end of the board like his did.

[@hedge685]

@@ronmurphy4234 The blunt nail tip severs wood fibers rather than the point tip wedging between fibers causing a split.

Hey Scott can you tell us a bit more about your ear protection please. Are they radio or Bluetooth enabled or just good old noise canceling headphones. I ask as I need a pair. Thanks

what's with the orange on the boards? some kind of wood treatment, or was the house orange?

[@VIOLATOR-4EVER]

Hi Scott, may I ask for your advise and help? I wanted to install an Outdoor Exterior Wall Light on the Outside Garage Door Sides. I have a weatherboard cladding that is very challenging to put the light on to. What is the best way to do this? Please advise. Thank you very much!

[@ronmurphy4234]

With such a short length, I was wondering why you didn't just replace the complete row of siding instead of patching it?

[@carlsaporiti3518]

I have been watching your journey from the beginning. I am curious why at the very least you are not flashing the last course of siding (weatherboards?) I know New Zealand and the USA have different building codes but no house wrap or other material under siding???

[@benhainsworth1247]

Probably not so bad under the eave but on my 2 storey place the joins are a lot more exposed so I put flat soakers over the joins. I wish I had done that in more places as they are really showing where I hadn’t after about 1.5 years already. I’ll go back and add them when I feel like being up a ladder again.

[@sw5926]

Could you please share which socks and work boots you use? Any feedback? TIA!

[@thisoldproperty]

How did you manage to paint without getting it on you? Sometimes I'm interested in what time of year your recording occurred. Summer 2024, winter 2023 etc.

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day Scott and Jess from Sydney Australia. I'm shocked at you using the Festool drop saw aka "the droppy" to cut weatherboard. I would have applied primer all round on the sill, prior to installation. Gardening gossip Bee's are busy and doing their job of pollination. Don't forget a Q tip. Give each stigma a little tickle a cross pollinate if you feel like it. 🕵️🌺🐝

[@duncandrummond726]

I didn't like them either until I found soft close mechanisms for pocket doors.

[@wallyballou7417]

"Pro tip?" Somebody's been watching the Perkins Brothers!

[@arcticbeak]

Does this method work equally as good if the boards have tongue and groove?

[@TonyRule]

You mean a shiplap with tongue & groove?They've completely captive. You can circular saw cut it along the face, with a slight bevel upwards for clearance, and put screws in with the heads proud to pull the top half of the board out with a pry bar. But you'll have to remove the back of the groove on the new one to get it in.

[@arcticbeak]

Yeah, that's what I was wondering about. Getting it out isn't a big deal, but getting the new one in is tricky.
