I can't tell you how much I love these video's. My husband was a builder/framer/finish carpenter for more than 40 years and every new build was so exciting to me how things came together. He taught our boys the trades and they chose different careers down the road but my husband Blaine always told them the only thing he had to give them was knowledge. Many times they wanted to quit but he wouldn't let them. We lost him to cancer in 2020, and today the boys are so proud he forced his knowledge upon them because as he knew, it has saved them thousands of dollars being able to build their own homes start to finish and anything else they choose to build. Watching you work and seeing your perfection in your work brings back great memories of him. He was highly respected for his quality of work and customers always were very pleased with finished product. He started way back when there were no nail guns, it was all manually nailed together. Then when they became available he got a loan and got set up. As you well know, his job became so much less labor intense and speedy. I know it's very hard work but he, like your crew thoroughly enjoyed it and was till the end strict on quality and building it to last. I just wanted to say thank you for making the video's, I just stumbled across them but I will be a steady viewer. It's almost like watching brings him back to life. He was 84 when he died and still had plans in his head for things to build when he felt better. I'm sure he's building mansions in heaven now. Thanks again for reviving pleasant memories.

My Wife is 65 been fighting Cancer since Dec 2021. After surgery, then 8 rounds of chemo. Then 18 rounds of Radiation, upper body. Followed by 18 rounds, lower body. Then a break, followed by 1 of 6 new chemo treatments. 2 days at the hospital followed by 2 days at home, with a nurse. Tommorrow, ends the first of 6 treatments. Told her she would live to be 90 today. She's a Tirger. I'm her Lion. Jesus was a Carpenter ❤❤❤

Your comment is a beautiful tribute to your guy, Blaine. He sounds amazing and a one-of-a-kind! I'm so sorry you lost him and that your heart is hurting. I enjoy watching the Perkins Bros Crew videos too! If you need to talk about him or about anything please consider reaching out to me. Take good care of yourself. ❤

[@dionbreeding702]

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.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. I used to love to watch "BARNWOOD BUILDERS". Your wit and humor cracks me up. I live alone now since I lost my husband, but we used to do everything together. We farmed, played with cars, boats, built things, cried auctions, traveled, and loved as full as life as a couple could, but God needed him more than me. So, now you are my entertainment, now. And I THANK YOU❗❗❗♥️

[@tzadokcable1022]

You capture the business end of doing the job right with the human side of what it’s really like to work on a construction crew. People need to know that this is not just for the camera. It’s actually like this on site. Missed Jordan shots aimed at the dumpster 100 ft away, fixing mistakes, banter amongst the crew, who’s the best at, what knuckle head did this…, your videos have it all.

[@MySouLisBlue]

perfect editing, perfect rythm, makes a 2h video smooth.

I woke up and this was on, and I kept asking myself, "Am I dreaming? Why isn't this ending?" It went on for ever. I loved it. I wish you had more 2-3 hour whole house builds to watch when I can't sleep. HOME RUN GUYS!!!

[@ernieforrest7218]

Im surprised that the code permits using 8” block on basement walls. Especially when they are that high, regardless of the bond beams and steel. As for the parging, get a good quality bristle dust brush, and when the mud takes a bit of a set dip the brush in water and go over the mud. It will do a surprisingly nice job, and also make it easier to apply foundation coating.

Vacationing in BC with my family and ran into Erik at a pub this evening (I'm the landlord guy who joked that I'm happier to meet him than the President)... he kindly shared his time chatting about houses over a beer. That's what I love about KZbin, so many of the personalities are just regular folks making videos. Not the scripted garbage that is most TV now. These guys deserve all of the success that they've worked hard for. My 5 year old son loved the pic 😁
