  • You probably won’t see this , I just want to appreciate you for taking time to put this video, it Educational and very helpful .people like you really deserve viewers.
  • I install shingles, fascia, soffits, siding, plus more. Your videos are extremely helpful man. Especially for the fact that you're not only teaching viewers, but you're also showing us how to do it ourselves. I commend you for that bro. One of us on the job at some point or another has had to wait on help so they could get things to line up or whatever the case is. No more waiting
  • this is the best diy channel I've seen to date.Thank you for all the small details that make the difference
  • @colebennett4405
    I produce video content for a living, am working on getting more handy around the house, and have taught part time at our local college. This may be one of the best how-to videos I’ve seen. You have an obvious dedication to teaching! Great quality stuff.

    The problem with installing the bath vent in the soffit, is the moisture is going to go right back thru your vented soffit into your attic space which is a no, no. If you do put the bath vent in the soffit, you need to run unvented soffit for a distance of 6' in both directions before you start back with vented soffit.

    Good video for beginners. Who ever put the roof on was lost on the drip edge it’s lapped wrong direction. If you will make a 45 degree cut when you made the angle notch let it over lap the straight cut at the corner it will look like it’s cut on 45 degree angle. Makes it look much more professional.

    Gather up all of your videos and make them available as a compendium set. These are the most complete construction video I have had the opportunity to watch to learn from. I needed these 30 years ago when exposing how detail work was a secretive endeavor. Thank for your time and effort to make it look easy.
  • @srlgto55
    Thanks 67 years old and got some great tips today!
  • Man just another solid how to do it right video. Step by step. Great content presented perfectly. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.
  • Got an estimate to do siding and was close to the $20000 range . Pretty handy guy and always looking to try something new , and as you said in video “ save a few bucks “! My only worries was the soffit work which I learned would have to do 1st . Your video blew my mind how easy you made it look and more importantly the confidence to take it on myself . You literally answered every question I had trying to figure out how it’s done .Will hold off on siding till weather warms up but will def jump on the soffit work Thanks for the awesome video , keep them coming . Will give update !
  • @terrikruse4163

    Great pacing and detailed video. I have a flock of birds living in my soffits who'll be receiving an eviction notice soon.
  • No need for any apologies! This is a great video showing exactly what needs to be done for job!! Great work!
  • I have an old crummy garage that really isn't worth paying someone to do this. Thanks for the tips so I can do it myself rather than demoing it.

    I don't comment much on U-tube video's but I think you did an excellent job on explaining everything. Good kid as well.
