Personally my fave line in this video is when Erik said “help out a friend”. Because we can all see you guys are all friends first and co workers second. That’s tough to find these days. Thumbs up
Arlos's and Jan's home is at the very least amazing. I'm pretty sure Arlo's dandruff has more creativity and skill than I ever will. Many thanks for making this video, and good luck on the drywall install.
Arlo's house is probably the interesting house I’ve ever seen. It’s nice to get to know each person in these type videos. I am inspired by the work you guys do, and really enjoy your videos, but getting to know you a little better keeps me connected to your channel. Thanks…..really liked this video!
If I had only a tenth of Arlo's talent......... That little house is amazing! I love that fake door corner, Genius! Not to mention a dozen other things!
Man, I watch all the videos I can from you all but rarely comment cause I watch it on my TV. But I loved this one, both watching you work outside of your comfort zone, and also to see Arlo (the wizard) working his magic. Keep up the great work.
I cussed that button on the top of ball caps for years until I figured out that nothing bad happens when you take the D... thing off. It has truly preserved what little brains I have left. GREAT WORK - PERKINS TEAM
Cool home he has! Not a "tiny house" but a reasonable house that I think more people should consider. Houses like this allow you to do thing like put your money into the quality rather than quantity. Budget can go to super-insulating the house which means less energy to heat or cool. Or it can go to better windows, or even finishes, appliances and furniture. Cozy looking home!
Thank you for the tour of Arlo and Jan's little cottage. The man is brilliant. I wanted to see that picture of he and Jan for a little longer. I'm glad you guys were able to help him with the dry wall.
Make the Potlight location marks on the floor install the drywall then cut the holes using the nipple / hole saw/ laser , stick your hand and grab the wire. Fastest way of doing Potlights
The trick to full-length sheets is that somebody must go high while the other end goes low. Much easier to swing a sheet into position that way, so you're not banging the ends on the opposing walls.
Arlo is the kind of old school legend that could hear what you're doing wrong whilst on the other side of the property. Those kind of blokes are the true national treasures.
Canless cans are the way to go, thats all we typically use. It’s all plug and play. Great job as usual gentleman. FYI, I got a quote for an all black Anderson window package for a house remodel/addition we’re doing in July. Lead time was 10 months. We went with Pella, 12 weeks. Fingers crossed. So don’t feel bad, you’re not the only one!
Hey there, still reading all the comments? Just wanted to thank you for your videos. Am always looking forward to the next one. Watched every one since the house start to finish series. I am from Europe and not even remotely a builder. But your ingenuity and fun attitude just got me hooked.
This was a real treat to have a tour .... Thank you Arlo and PBB and R&J .... it's always inspiring to be driven around on your days while I drink coffee in front of an illuminated screen and live vicariously thru the vids. Has Jaime ever used that word yet ... "vicariously". I hope this week is perfect for all of you.
The biggest pro tip for drywall is perfect 90 tape, it's expensive, but your joints will be straight, a novice can use it an you can do two coats at once. Fiberglass tape for the butts and long joints.
Arlo's old house was amazing and so cozy. I already fell in love when I saw it outside and it was even better inside! Please make tour about the new house also when it's ready!
Canless can lights dont need the wire fed through the drywall. Simply note where it is drill 4 inch hole and reach in to grab the wire when installing the lights.
Grandma's house had the floor to ceiling stove pipe. It was right at the top of the stairs. You had to step around it and over a sill to get into one bedroom. When it was real cold and the coal was stoked it would glow red/orange. You learned real quick as a child to respect the pipe. The better trap was at my great aunts house. They had one of those floor furnaces. It was between the dining room and living room. Heavy steel grate in floor. That thing would always surprise me in winter with a bite at my feet.
The creativity of Arlo and Jan's home is astonishing! I know you guys must be thrilled to have him and all of his experience on your team. Great Video.
The ceiling is not hung first so that the walls can help support it. If that were the case then why wouldn't the whole center fall down. It's hung first so you can butt the walls tight to it to make a cleaner corner instead of trying to cut the ceiling to fit against the walls.
In my 41st year in industry. Never heard or seen a butt lock joint to recess tape and mud. Nothing worse than have to spread a button joint 18-20 inches wide in order to hide the joint. Great tip.
In Scotland drywall is always done by the joiner (carpenter) we class it as part of what we call roughing or first fix which include framing, dry wall, floor joists, floor boards, roof construction ect. Our new build houses are usually made in factory’s in small sections and brought on to site where we erect them.
Great show guys. Nice to see Arlo and Jan's new house in the works. They are lovely. Cheers to the the grunts stepping outside of their comfort zone to do the drywall. You all did a great job. Looking forward to the Johno home episode. Interested to see where he hangs his surf board.
Butt block joint is an addition to the support for joint integrity and strength great job Mr Arlo Wonderful of you guys for helping and sharing this experience and tips God bless you all please be careful and safe how is the weather on that side of the pond hope all is well and comfortable thanks
butt boards are actually a thing, and good amount of drywall only crews use them. They do make finsihing butt joints easier and allow for faster install not having to break the sheets at a stud. Less material waste as well.
Arlo needs his own channel where he can record ALL his tips and creative building ideas!
I don’t think y’all have time to read comments
Arlo's knowledge and ingenuity are admirable, just as his positive attitude!
There needs to be a full episode of the history of Arlo and Jan . Great couple... Great episode!!.
The world needs more Arlos.
We need more Arlos in this world.
Personally my fave line in this video is when Erik said “help out a friend”. Because we can all see you guys are all friends first and co workers second. That’s tough to find these days. Thumbs up
And you got that right my friend, real hard today brother!!!! Tha Bman...
Arlo’s AIRBNB will definitely be a hit!
Arlo is an absolute genius. He has forgotten more about building than most of us will ever know.
The picture of young Arlo was great!
Jan is delightful. Arlo is so lucky.
Arlos's and Jan's home is at the very least amazing. I'm pretty sure Arlo's dandruff has more creativity and skill than I ever will. Many thanks for making this video, and good luck on the drywall install.
Arlo, that house is pretty cool! Great lines! Love to see you teaching the whippersnappers how its done.
Arlo's creativity and skill are so off the charts.
All Hand on deck for Arlo. it is awesome to have very good friend. great video.
I love Arlo`s house ,it is very neat and I like how he uses every little spaces. Arlo is a genius.
Arlo's house is probably the interesting house I’ve ever seen. It’s nice to get to know each person in these type videos.

Well said; totally agree. Love the team & channel
I agree, it really has character!
If I had only a tenth of Arlo's talent.........
That little house is amazing! I love that fake door corner, Genius! Not to mention a dozen other things!
Wish I'd found a crew like you guys 30 years ago. I'd still be doing it... like Arlo!
honestly, this is one of the most interesting houses i have ever seen. And you can see how proud Arlo and Jan are about it. Pretty impressive
Great episode! It was nice to see Arlo and Jan and their clever little houses.
More updates from this house would be fun.
Man, I watch all the videos I can from you all but rarely comment cause I watch it on my TV. But I loved this one, both watching you work outside of your comfort zone, and also to see Arlo (the wizard) working his magic. Keep up the great work.
Perkins needs to help finish Arlo's house so we can rent the Airbnb. THAT IS AN AMAIZING HOME!
I cussed that button on the top of ball caps for years until I figured out that nothing bad happens when you take the D... thing off. It has truly preserved what little brains I have left. GREAT WORK - PERKINS TEAM
Arlo and Jan are so cool. Thanks for sharing and giving a tour of the cottage.
what a cool video.
Arlo never disappoints. His current home is incredible.
It is.
Cool home he has! Not a "tiny house" but a reasonable house that I think more people should consider. Houses like this allow you to do thing like put your money into the quality rather than quantity.
Budget can go to super-insulating the house which means less energy to heat or cool. Or it can go to better windows, or even finishes, appliances and furniture.
Cozy looking home!
Wow!! That was awesome! Thank you for sharing with us!
I'm adding Arlo's Airbnb on my list of places I want to stay.
Arlo the Wizard!!!! I am passionate about this house!!!!
Arlos the man,i would like to see the new house when he is done
Nice to see some Pro Bono work being done for Arlo, the brains and muscle of the team.
Thank you for the tour of Arlo and Jan's little cottage. The man is brilliant. I wanted to see that picture of he and Jan for a little longer.
I'm glad you guys were able to help him with the dry wall.
Use the pause button 😂
What a great couple! Please visit them again.
The really enjoy the Perkins brothers videos, Arlo you are a great carpenter
Next time...leave the wire in the ceiling. Once up, use a 4 and 1/8 hole saw, drill the hole, pull the wires down.
Great work!!
Arlo is the man ! Boy of you could just follow him around imagine the knowledge you would gain .what a great guy.
Make the Potlight location marks on the floor install the drywall then cut the holes using the nipple / hole saw/ laser , stick your hand and grab the wire. Fastest way of doing Potlights
Good guys helping out their esteemed elder. Love it. 👍
I love so many things about Arlo´s house, but cant wait to see the final result of the new house, looking promising
The trick to full-length sheets is that somebody must go high while the other end goes low. Much easier to swing a sheet into position that way, so you're not banging the ends on the opposing walls.
Take advantage of Arlos knowledge he has so much experience and a wealth of knowledge
Another great video! Glad you found Arlo (and Jan). The couch with high sides is called a settee
Im sure Arlo and Jan super appreciated the help on the the sheetrock installation. You guys are awesome friends.
The features are Arlo-tactic. Putting big stretch on the rotted trim was hilarious!
I don't need more cowbell. I need more Arlo! Both houses are beautiful. I would love to see the plans to them.
Thanks Arlo for inviting all of us Perkins Brother Gremlins into your home
21:48 the way Arlo point the vent using measuring tape was so awesome
This is honestly one of the best video's on RUclips. Arlo you're a true genius. 👍
Arlo is the kind of old school legend that could hear what you're doing wrong whilst on the other side of the property.
Those kind of blokes are the true national treasures.
good to see arlo again!
Great video, always love seeing more of Arlo’s own pro tips. Hopefully we’ll see a series when he builds his new shop!
i really love their current house. it will be an awesome BnB

Video of just Arlo’s house! You can see his knowledge everywhere it’s amazing! Let’s go Arlo!
Arlo's the man. Good job helping out crew. Great opportunity to learn some some of Arlo's skills.
Gotta love Arlo! What a Master! His "old house" is so nice, who wouldn't want to live there??
This was a real treat to have a tour .... Thank you Arlo and PBB and R&J .... it's always inspiring to be driven around on your days while I drink coffee in front of an illuminated screen and live vicariously thru the vids. Has Jaime ever used that word yet ... "vicariously". I hope this week is perfect for all of you.
Arlo's house has so much character!
Arlo's house is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
I mean Perkins bros be making beautiful houses but Arlo's house is dope.
I am Jan - looking for my Arlo ..... sighhhhh Love their beautiful, well built cottages :)
Arlo's house is art!
Arlo talked more on this video, than all other videos combined ! Keep up the great work
The biggest pro tip for drywall is perfect 90 tape, it's expensive, but your joints will be straight, a novice can use it an you can do two coats at once. Fiberglass tape for the butts and long joints.
Arlo and his wife are so wholesome. I hope me and my wife grow old like this.
That was such a wholesome and positive video. Even his house has a positive vibe :) Go Arlo!
Arlo is one talented builder, amazing.
Coolest house ever built. Arlo is living his best life.
Wow... Arlo such a legend
Arlos home is a dream of mine. Beautiful work!!
Arlo's old house was amazing and so cozy. I already fell in love when I saw it outside and it was even better inside! Please make tour about the new house also when it's ready!
Canless can lights dont need the wire fed through the drywall. Simply note where it is drill 4 inch hole and reach in to grab the wire when installing the lights.
Great to see you all helping each other Team Work in action love it UK
Love this video, guys! Arlo is awesome and he is lucky to have you guys assisting him in this build!
Pro tip -cut those long sheets in half except for the front paper. Fold in half, put in room and unfold.
Grandma's house had the floor to ceiling stove pipe. It was right at the top of the stairs. You had to step around it and over a sill to get into one bedroom. When it was real cold and the coal was stoked it would glow red/orange. You learned real quick as a child to respect the pipe.
The better trap was at my great aunts house. They had one of those floor furnaces. It was between the dining room and living room. Heavy steel grate in floor. That thing would always surprise me in winter with a bite at my feet.
Arlo's place is really sweet! Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love toa ll
The creativity of Arlo and Jan's home is astonishing! I know you guys must be thrilled to have him and all of his experience on your team. Great Video.
The canless can light is called an led downlight in Australia coz we don’t have can lights & they’ve saved us heaps on power too.
That was a wonderful look at Arlo & Jane's planned new, and existing small house - really makes me want to B&B there when you guys are all done!
It's so good to have friends that will help you out, that's the core of real friendship, and that's true!
The ceiling is not hung first so that the walls can help support it. If that were the case then why wouldn't the whole center fall down. It's hung first so you can butt the walls tight to it to make a cleaner corner instead of trying to cut the ceiling to fit against the walls.
So neat to see Arlo and Jan’s homes.
Mr. Arlo is Tha Man !! 👨 His home and new home are nice !! Good of yall to help Arlo & Jan !!
What a cool bunch!!!
In my 41st year in industry. Never heard or seen a butt lock joint to recess tape and mud. Nothing worse than have to spread a button joint 18-20 inches wide in order to hide the joint. Great tip.
Hello from Easton Maryland. Congratulations Arlo! You have a really good friends and perfect team. That but lock is genius!

Wow Arlo build boats from scratch and you and your brother been doing carpentry and building guitars since you were kids. Master class.
Really nice of you guys helping arlo with the drywall!!
Great show guys. Nice to see Arlo and Jan's new house in the works. They are lovely. Cheers to the the grunts stepping outside of their comfort zone to do the drywall. You all did a great job. Looking forward to the Johno home episode. Interested to see where he hangs his surf board.
Beautiful houses.
Love the vid. Great to see Arlo in his natural environment. Even better to see you guys hang out and get stuff done together and have fun doing it.
Thanks for making me smile a few minutes during my workweek
Arlo is an architect at heart! I love this!!!
Butt block joint is an addition to the support for joint integrity and strength great job Mr Arlo
Wonderful of you guys for helping and sharing this experience and tips God bless you all please be careful and safe how is the weather on that side of the pond hope all is well and comfortable thanks
Love your videos! Pro tip: If you wipe your phone's camera clean before shooting you'll eliminate most lens flares and hazy looking video.
butt boards are actually a thing, and good amount of drywall only crews use them. They do make finsihing butt joints easier and allow for faster install not having to break the sheets at a stud. Less material waste as well.
So, the secret life of Arlo. Now more of that would make a great video. And what about that boat? We need more.
Beautiful efficient house. Stylish door bdway 😊👍👍
