No rock in the footings, not on the side of a mountain, plenty of parking, in town... who are you and what have you done with the real Perkins crew?! haha love the new project kicking off!
Make sure that marriage wall is stout and soundproof....nothing worse than sharing your life with your connected neighbor and vice versa....keep up the great work!
My HS Class just had its 45th Reunion. I couldn't be there, cause I'm in a different country and my wife, of 41 1/2 years, has been fighting Cancer since Dec 2021. They sent photos ❤😂❤!!! I guess what I'm trying to say is, You Inspire Me. Thank You...
Just watched a TikTok of a dog enthusiastically watching a video of you guys building a house!?! The dog was clued to the screen. It was posted by mimihale. The fact that I recognized you guys in the short clip is a testament that I have watched way too many of your videos. Gawd I need a life.
This is my favorite show on television. Not this current build, just your channel. HGTV has moved to RUclips and I’m here for it. Looong time watcher and I have favorite characters, but I’m not telling. ;)
I wanted to let you know that even though I've followed you for the past couple of months, I just joined as a silver speed square. Looking forward to more great videos.
So good to see a new project, by my favourite RUclips builder brothers, and the A-Team. I helped a builder friend dig footings in an addition to a 200 year old house in Maidenhead, UK. The footings had to be 3 feet deep and 2 feet across, easy so I thought. The length was 36 feet and the ground was wet as it was raining on and off. The top 6 inches was just normal dirt, but then it was thick clay, which stuck to the shovels making it very tiring. We got there in the end, but arms, legs and back took a hammering. Looking forward to part 2, thanks for posting.
As a home baker, I'm incensed!! (😁) that you are using perfectly good baking flour! lol Think of all the cookies and cakes that could've been! Seriously though, I like it. It's less toxic than spray paint on the ground.
I just started watching your videos. With the farm house, Natahala, and the modern house, your videos are getting better and better. Thanks for making great content.
I would love for these guys to build my house! I'm a software engineer, I have no idea why I'm obsessed with this channel but I love it! Keep it up guys.
Probably the best Ryan’s ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
Watching from the Dominican Republic. I am a Dominican civil engineer who builds costume houses for a living, and I love your show! Nothing better thatn coming home from the jobsite to enjoy some well deserved rest, and watch your videos. :)
This is my 4th building series I’ve watched with you guys. Every time you upload I get really excited. It’s so cool to watch along the entire process as well as seeing how you guys interact as a crew. I’m pumped to see how this one turns out!
I am so excited for this! Two more videos, and I will have watched every episode of every building series that you’ve made. I love the way you guys show everything from start to finish. My favorite building channel by far!
I will say it again. Jay is the stand-in for the audience. He knows all the construction stuff, but he plays like he doesn’t so the Perkins Bros can explain it to the audience by explaining it to him. Jay isn’t dumb.
Owesome new built, looking forward to it. Have a great day. Rob for the Netherlands. BTW, I'm building an extention to my house next month. Learned some great tips from you.
I have been watching a few older ones and see your having a slight problem with your paint cans, an old painter friend of mine told.me.if I take a penny nail or a sixteenth nail and put holds in the edge of the rim of the paint can it will stop all over runs and make it much easy to pour out of the can, and believe me it helps a great deal and show you know what your doing a lot better when you don't have over runs going down the side of the can of paint, try it to see if I'm right my friends and thanks again for showing your work on RUclips 👍 I really I joy watching you guys 👍✌️
Hi from Australia. My Dad was a builder and always paid great attention to detail. He would have enjoyed watching you guys work. Keep the builds coming.
Hi guys, so happy there is a new project. I watched it earlier with half an eye then my wotk got in the way. So nice to sit down and check this out. Also looking forward to seeing what Jaime is gonna do with his Cherry wood.
I like the way you guys get to decide the position of the house before you build it. Here in the UK the planning people pretty much dictate the position of the house long before building even starts. Build it half a foot of what planning says and they could make you knock it down and start again.
just really glad to see you’ve got some room this time to maneuver in the Kubota,instead of hanging off the side of a mountain with it. as always, a real treat to watch y’all in action!
So I have a random question, I’ve watched the past 5 house build series and I noticed there’s never a garage?? I’m just curious to why that is? Customers preference, cost? Thanks, love the work you guys do!
great question... sometimes there isnt enough room for a garage; sometimes its because its just a vacation home; and sometimes its because of cost. I would want a garage bigger than my house personally!
@@cullery07 yea I was thinking about the houses for clients. But I didn’t think about the fact they might be vacation homes or the fact that there on the side of a mountain and I’m sure buildable space is a premium
I saw your story, and couldn’t notice that somehow I was able to watch this last night. I guess I’ll consider it a treat. I’m a new general contractor in Arkansas, and look up to you guys a lot. God bless you guys and can’t wait to see your new series! Keep up the good content!
Thanks- this was a great project to watch from start to finish. Bought a speed square and a driver - made one of first saw horses. The builder belt is on wish list.
You guys are amazing. I learn something from you every week. Erik, when you’re digging in an excavator don’t put the blade down so far because you only have 2 points of contact with the ground, the blade and then end of your tracks. Put the blade down to make contact with the ground and maybe pick up a touch but not much so that you have more of the tracks touching the ground. You won’t rock as much swinging over the side of your tracks. I don’t miss a video. Thanks guys
You’re getting so damn good at editing these videos. It feels so professionally made compared to some of youre earlier projects. And Jaime is becoming so funny 😂😂 😊Keep up the great work!
Affordable housing - gets my vote! So is the building going to be divided into 4 apartments (2 to a floor) or two (one up one down)? I guess I could wait and see for myself. thanks again guys for taking us along on the ride, I've come to like watching you guys more than ever. [Roger]
I didn't realize you guys were auper close to where i livem well not super close but 3-3.5 hours... Love the content. I have learned some helpful stuff that has definitely helped on aome jobs i have helped on with my company... Thanks duders!!!!!!
a bunch of years ago I was a duplex owner (and resident for awhile ). If I were involved in building one now, I would build a utility space between the two units to allow access to the water heaters, HVAC, and breaker panels for both units without having to enter the living space of either. It would not have to be huge, maybe three feet wide. This would also work as a sound barrier so that the landlord does not get numerous calls from one tenant complaining about the other tenant making too much noise. Yes, it might drive up the initial cost a bit, but it would make maintenance so much smoother over the life of the duplex for everyone.
It would be nice to just hang with these guys and learn stuff. There's a lot of knowledge in this group and that's why it looks easy. If you've ever built anything, it's not. But, with knowledge comes power and they power through a lot! Much love from Chattanooga.
Idk anything about construction but you guys are super fun and now I have a weird set of random knowledge about building a house that I probably won't ever use 😅
HeyJaime, just discovered your channel, and I have binge watched all of your start to finish construction videos. They're fascinating and very instructive. This will be my first time watching along as it's actually done. Can't wait.
Very cool! We are actually renovating 4 duplexes right now! Demoed all the way to frame. New wall sheathing new roof sheathing new plumbing mechanical electrical and added pantries. 788 square feet per unit. Looking forward to this series!
Dang that’s so cool the relationship they have with all there subs like the delivery guy and especially the smothered burrito man (porta john) lol here in New Mexico we call them the smothered burrito man. I might of just ruined smothered burritos for everyone that reads this comment. I do the same thing with my burrito man. They have these new porta johns that i helped them build on small atv trailers. They’re air conditioned and have running water as well as a male cord connection for the AC, lighting, and on demand water heater. You just hook up a water hose to it, an electrical cord (minimum 8 gauge cord) fill her with water and your good to go. It has an RV style toilet and sink so when you flush it it opens to the waste tanks and closes up so the porta john does not smell one bit even when its been filled. My only issue with them is i couldn’t figure out how to install a small urinal to it but they do have plans to add them in the future. Usually they’re used for outdoor events like wedding, birthday parties or any other kind of event that needs a nice porta john. They have two dedicated for my job sites but they can use them for other events my guys take good care of them. I really need to a stop writing these long comments lol I’m just not good at summarizing.great work fellas.
I do dirt work for an energy company. If you hit power with the excavator, you’ll survive. The primary will cause a pretty loud boom and you definitely don’t want to touch the wire, but the excavator is grounded so you won’t die. If you hit the secondary, you’ll have about 10-15 seconds of underground fireworks as it arcs until it pops the fuse. Fun times.
No rock in the footings, not on the side of a mountain, plenty of parking, in town... who are you and what have you done with the real Perkins crew?! haha love the new project kicking off!
haha... i know its pretty weird! but im not going to say i dont like it!
I don’t know a damn thing about construction but it’s always interesting to watch these builds. Thanks!
the mic's are a nice touch! a little more organic conversation
Wish I could watch a Perkins episode every day! 🎉
Excited for another build!
Make sure that marriage wall is stout and soundproof....nothing worse than sharing your life with your connected neighbor and vice versa....keep up the great work!
haha!!! yes we will try to make it quiet!
My HS Class just had its 45th Reunion. I couldn't be there, cause I'm in a different country and my wife, of 41 1/2 years, has been fighting Cancer since Dec 2021. They sent photos ❤😂❤!!! I guess what I'm trying to say is, You Inspire Me. Thank You...
It is good to see you all on a new build. Greetings from London UK.
Good Luck on new project
Excited to start this new project with you all.
Sweet!! A new build!!!
oh yeah.... plenty more to come!
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers been following forever!!
I just finished building a duplex. Like two months ago and just sold it two weeks ago. good luck on this build.
Just watched a TikTok of a dog enthusiastically watching a video of you guys building a house!?! The dog was clued to the screen. It was posted by mimihale. The fact that I recognized you guys in the short clip is a testament that I have watched way too many of your videos. Gawd I need a life.
Pro notch cut on that tree, people usually do it in the opposite order and screw it up. Nice job
Enjoyed your first segment.I scooted down to the store and picked up a case of popcorn..Safe building to you guys!!
My grandson (age 9) was so impressed he wants to work for your company when he gets older , great job, great inspiration, keep up the great work guys
I haven't even seen the video yet but I know it's gonna be a good one!!!
This is my favorite show on television. Not this current build, just your channel. HGTV has moved to RUclips and I’m here for it. Looong time watcher and I have favorite characters, but I’m not telling. ;)
Hey that is for the kind comments..:)
Happy Thursday y’all
I love the sound of chainsaws in the morning. Nice project once again. Some folks use white sand to mark out the foundation area.
Yeessss, finally a new build.
I wanted to let you know that even though I've followed you for the past couple of months, I just joined as a silver speed square. Looking forward to more great videos.

A new project, that's great! The new mics are helpful!
Try using a watering can when marking the dig lines, it’s easier on your back.
As a home baker, I'm incensed!! (😁) that you are using perfectly good baking flour! lol Think of all the cookies and cakes that could've been! Seriously though, I like it. It's less toxic than spray paint on the ground.
I can’t wait until we build ours, we want to build affordable too and do it our selves
You guys never do cheap. You only ever do inexpensive. 🙌
Yes…!
i love new projects. a fresh start. cant wait to see how this goes
Steve O from Jackass I bet would also like that toilet. Looking forward to another one of your builds guys!. Cheers, William
The fun starts again!
The addition of the mics is so cool haha
G,day Perkins Bros, Arlo, Ray and Jay from Sydney Australia.
Thank you for the building outline setout, especially the Lazer level.
🌏🇭🇲
I just started watching your videos. With the farm house, Natahala, and the modern house, your videos are getting better and better. Thanks for making great content.
Yessss!! New Perkins project LETS GOOOO 🎉🤘🏻
I would love for these guys to build my house! I'm a software engineer, I have no idea why I'm obsessed with this channel but I love it! Keep it up guys.
Probably the best Ryan’s ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
Probably not recommended but I bet it would work. Just for lights and light power tools here and there.
Watching from the Dominican Republic. I am a Dominican civil engineer who builds costume houses for a living, and I love your show! Nothing better thatn coming home from the jobsite to enjoy some well deserved rest, and watch your videos. :)

Awesome. Can’t wait for more episodes…. But how about Perkins tool belt giveaway? 😜
Looking forward to the new series
thanks tim!
Wow! New project! I'm already watching it!
Inexpensive, not cheap!!!! Love watching your videos!
Nice. I'm very excited about this new project since I haven't seen you build a duplex before.
Great work
Thank you! Cheers!

It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep on your good work guys.
Thanks Jonathan!
Another awesome build on the way. Looking forward to enjoy every moment of this build.
Love watching these guys. 👍👍👍
Hey thanks Albert!
Hi from Australia. My Dad was a builder and always paid great attention to detail. He would have enjoyed watching you guys work. Keep the builds coming.
thanks Lisa! our Dad was also extremely meticulous as a builder... which was probably a good thing!
Fantastic to be aboard again from the UK looks like a cool plot. Good dig out to prepare the ground works UK
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi guys, so happy there is a new project. I watched it earlier with half an eye then my wotk got in the way. So nice to sit down and check this out. Also looking forward to seeing what Jaime is gonna do with his Cherry wood.
Cherry BABY!! thanks
@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers when you make something of that Cherry please show me. Love Cherry.

Love all your vids but nice to be back to your roots. Cheers Jase 👌😎🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks J-DAWG!
Look forward to these videos great content. Looks like an easy level site.
Hey gang, I’m excited to check out the new build. Thanks!!!
Hey, thanks Dan
just really glad to see you’ve got some room this time to maneuver in the Kubota,instead of hanging off the side of a mountain with it.
as always, a real treat to watch y’all in action!

👍 good job as usual. Thx
Woo Hoo, another build series! Can't wait!
Thanks Hansang!
Yeah you've been so excited for a new house
Hey thanks!!! so glad to be back to "building" instead of finish work
Hi guys the wall your talking about is a fire wall you need to put Rocksol insulation,2x6 wall and 5/8 fire guard drywall.
YAY a new project!! 🤗 Hi, Jaime! Hi, Eric! 👋
Great channel name 👍
Hello!… I’m late

Yeah it’s been pretty miserable. We’ll be glad to walk away complete! 😎
Kudos to your team Eric as you are able to do your own foundations! HUGE savings….
I love the flour idea, haha! Where’d you learn that trick? Sure love watching you guys! Keep it up!
