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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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…
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
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.
Wow in this video you almost had 40k subs now you're almost 10 times that at 396k great job man I know how much work you've put into this and you deserve everything!!! 👏👍
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. 👍💪
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.
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 ...
I have a similar truck with a topper & sliding window in the cab & topper... I use the topper & the sliding window to run my 2x6 or in your case... 1x1's straight through the cab into the box & what's left out the back end of the truck box. That way stuff does not blow away on me. Can u not use that or is there certain law says u can't?
Thanks for the video!! I am confused, though, about how the new siding you installed is going to withstand moisture. It doesn't look like it would fair any better. What am I missing?
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 )
you don't need the scanner app when you hear peowww peowwww peowwwww as you lie in bed. That's closer to being under fire than Hills ever got in Bosnia. lol.
As an old man who does handyman projects I find your video very informative and helpful. Keep them coming
I am a finish carpenter and was impressed with the quality of your work on this project. Great job!
Excellent work. Glad to see people taking pride in their work.

Yes! It actually helps because I encounter the some of the same unexpected problems seen in these videos
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 !
Love that mariachi song.. Like you more now buddy!!!

Fantastic Handyman we need more people like you and know what they doing to take pride in their work👍🏾
Nicely done. You don't mess around...you work fast and do things well. Thanks for sharing...
Nice job. and thank you for mentioning the pricing for that job. it helps to put tings in to perspective.
That held up since 1994? That in and of itself is actually remarkable.

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

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

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
bro, duct tape.

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

looks awesome. and the trim/siding piece was a nice touch. really good work. thanks for the video.
I like to wrap loose ends in painters tape for the commute.
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
Fantastic job and so nice to see pride in ones work! Thanks for another awesome video.
Great video you did great work. Glad they called you to get the job done the right way.

finger joints dont hold up outdoors
Awesome job! That kind of workmanship is why your phone rings off the hook with referrals!
Excellent job sir , great attention to detail .
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.
Keep in mind I only work 8 months out of the year.
Mighty fine job done young fella. Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺
You should carry several straps always. You can use one for the ends that way.
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.
Phil Rabe agree with you totally. Just mitre the edges of the ply to join together and you are all set.
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

that little chop saw is cool!
"Lady of the house" handyman translation = babe alert! Lol fyi
I use a folding table. Then you do not have to bend down to saw or work on stuff. Helps your back out alot.
Okay you got me with the Mexican song... good job on that.
Would love to see a video on how to build a deck. I think a lot of people would have use for that.
I have a deck to build in 2 weeks. 12 feet by 16 feet.
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.
Thanks I'll keep that in mind when I get some money saved up.
Yeah... I would have loved to see you make the cuts around the beam trim!!!
@The Handyman // I always wrap plastic wrap on a ends of the boards when I carry them on a vehicle’s roof, no snapping.
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…
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.

Great job. Thanks for posting!
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 😀😀😀😀
I knew you reminded me of someone. "Karl Urban". Ha!
Love what you do thank you for your time keeping it real just don’t know about that painting 👍👍up
What's up with the tex-mex music, that's frinking great. Great work also.
Bro you have some really cool tools, bravo.
When transporting siding like that I would clamp the edge to make it all one piece. Just a thought. Like the channel.
Or just tape them together?
Great work, thank you for sharing!
informative-- friendly reminder avoid distractions while driving. thankyou
You're welcome
That planer is money!
Name of the song is Mariachiando
The Handyman eres hispanos? Saludo tus videos me han ayudado bastante.
Wow 8pm and its still bright out..........
I Dig that Work vest. Gunna get one.
Stinking smart man!
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.
Wow in this video you almost had 40k subs now you're almost 10 times that at 396k great job man I know how much work you've put into this and you deserve everything!!! 👏👍
You do good work. I guess the one positive of these shitty contractors throwing up garbage is it keeps folks like us busy.
When he was talking about China I though he was going to say BUUUUT this is a really cool cup
N
That wall on the left heading to the front door is in serious need of re-siding. Great vid by the way.
Awesome video. Love your channel. You have mad skills and do quality work, quickly. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post these.
I liked in your other video where you put up the amounts that you made. It was fun watching your income rack up!
Yeah I'm going to go look for the scanner app. thanks. That's great work!!
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
I laughed when you played that music ....I YI YI YI !!!! @ 21:25
I use fence type tool for removing staples, like tile nippers, pulls them out and nails fast.
On the positive side, they did use pressure treated. They should have used 6x 6 pressure treated post....Love the channel ! 😁
30 year in the business get your self some tile nippers to pull nails works great the round on the nippers gives you Leverage
Isn't that the cutest miter saw you've ever seen
showing how you did the custom top cuts would have been nice.
Tha song at the end was perfect I will listen to it when I work tomorrow lmao
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. 👍💪
@21:17 I shot a bean out my nose. Nice work man!
Awesome job with the videos! Greetings from Stockholm ,Sweden!
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.
I drink purple Monsters! Oh and the white ones are good too! :)
The mexican music near the end. LOL !!!
Poking the safety trolls by removing the table saw guard and free handing. They must be all over you for that.
Loved the extra focus on that provided by the slow-mo. 🤣
Beautiful high-quality
You make things look easy I'm learning a lot
Could you do a video of how you got those perfectly mitered corners?
Great video handyman
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 ...
It would't match anything on the rest of the house doing it that way.
rodger that .good work .
love your chipmunk voice funnies
I have a similar truck with a topper & sliding window in the cab & topper... I use the topper & the sliding window to run my 2x6 or in your case... 1x1's straight through the cab into the box & what's left out the back end of the truck box. That way stuff does not blow away on me. Can u not use that or is there certain law says u can't?
I'm surprised those cardboards lasted for 20 years without looking completely rotten.
30+ years
Thanks for the video!! I am confused, though, about how the new siding you installed is going to withstand moisture. It doesn't look like it would fair any better. What am I missing?
Nice musica at the end boss 👍🏼 🇲🇽 ur awesome!!
Hey - Nice use of the Ragtime music!!
Great job, looks great!
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 )
you don't need the scanner app when you hear peowww peowwww peowwwww as you lie in bed.
That's closer to being under fire than Hills ever got in Bosnia. lol.
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?
