I appreciate that you take the time to do things the right way and aren't happy with it being "just ok" You spent a lot of time on this project and you would never be truly happy with it if it wasn't right. Nice job as always!

Love how you show your measuring mistakes. I do that all the time. Feel a little better about myself. Lol

16:25 wasted “from your mom” joke. The shed looks awesome. Love how you show mistakes and what you did to remedy the situation. Great job

Came out awesome, dude! Nice work, I know the proud feeling of looking at it in all of its finished glory

🤣🤣the joy in your face after finishing the first side of siding with the airless sprayer 🤣🤣

When the music matches the nailer at 13:08... nice work!

Editing on this one is stellar. Grats on the build!

The Bambi edit had me dying haha so awesome

I have installed a great deal of LP Smartside. The geiko gauges are great as a helper or second hand, but I always cut a spacer block and hold the next piece up with the spacer block to nail. Works like a champ. Also, the 1” overlap is the bare minimum. We always overlap 2” for a 6” reveal and we make damn sure we nail just above the 2” line so the siding has the absolute most support for wind load but you can’t see the nails. You will be surprised the difference between a 1” nail overlap and a 2” nail overlap. We also use an 8 ft level and constantly check each lap horizontally to make sure we stay level adjusting as needed. Also, you’re supposed to paint all cut ends per the instructions and if you’re in a hot climate with direct sunlight it will shrink (I have it on a building currently painted “iron ore” sherwin williams so really dark, in direct sunlight in 100 degrees and the gaps have opened up needing touchup paint). Therefore in hot climates I recommend a slightly closer gap than the recommended 3/16” for butt joints. Too close though and it will buckle. Regardless, I love the stuff especially over hardie which is way too brittle. The trim is also designed to be installed over the lap, but I hated that look and the holes it created for spiders. I like how you butted the siding against the trim that’s how we do it. Must better finished look in our opinion.

Nice to see it finished forgot you was building this 😂 love the colour too 👌

@Fix This Build That, You need to learn from the New Zealanders on how they do their corner pieces for Siding. That way, you don't need to caulk those corners in the future.

Brad, Great job. Thanks for taking your time. Makes all of us that work, seem normal. All jobs take longer than planned.

wow that view with the deer! you are blessed. I would love a view like that!

All the fireflies in 14:00 looked absolutely amazing

BRAD : why not on bottom row. Cut it the inch shorter so it’s uniform as rest of layers above it and you could use the cut off inch scrap to kick out that bottom row

Attaboy!!!! You finally finished your baby!!!! It took a long time, but it will helpful for a looooong time.

Awesome, don’t mean to be critical but the flashing goes to bare wood and paper over it, then you can skip the taping! 1:31

Nice job. Love your videos. I hope you are getting back to the video schedule you used to do.

Great choice of color looking sharp there Brad
