This man has never failed an inspection in his life… actually, the inspectors walk his house and then make sure all the other builders houses look just as good 😂 keep up the good and hard work
Love your attention to detail so so you take the extra time to do these things? Regardless of how long it takes, "do it right the first time, When you gonna have time to do it again ?" Got it Coach
Coach!!! Your tricks are 100% on point and your presentation is so darn professional! Wish corporations would hire you to do their training… on ANYTHING!
That must be something people need in the south however it’s nice to see a craftsman at work priming all surfaces even the way he cut the screen stuff he’s promoting, too notch 👍
Yes. Unfortunately it took a century for people to figure out everything painted needs to be primed or moisture will get in the wood and try to come out when heated in the sun, or unprimed wood is welcoming for wood eating insects and bacteria.
It’s beautiful and thoughtful work. I’d say a couple things about modern building though. Sometimes we are just reinventing the wheel. Rain screens have been around for 200 years or better in America. Some of the oldest siding removed from historical structures had simple furring strips behind them so the siding stood off of the walls. There was zero rot because both siding and furring strips could dry out. There were no bug screens and there were no bug infestations. It was closed off top and bottom because the wood only needed space to dry out. The other thing about modern installation is all the gapping. It just looks like veneers are superficial being applied and not integrated. Real wood products can be butt tight and caulked and there is a homogenous look to an exterior.
Your welcome. I wish more trades folks like yourself would take as much pride in their work as you guys do. When you do good work like you guys do, you will never have to advertise will always have work to do. Please let your guys know I appreciate them too.@@w.k.d.constructionllc
I back Prime my siding. Project I started twenty years ago are still sitting there unmoved and unfazed all I have is 20 year proof though no further. Not a lot of people want to pay for it though I understand but it is a pretty sure fire way to keep things solid for a while
Ive been hired to apply this stuff to sub grade exterior walls in its conplete size...but i was told it needed intergrity to keep water out and used adhesive for it instead of nails
Nice. Great use of smartside too. Versatile product, I recently planked a ceiling in my house with cutoffs that have been sitting in my shop for years and it seriously looks great.
How you kno we ain't neva see'd dat afo? Huh? Huh? You ain't kno whut we dun did see'd, or whut we *ain't* dun did see'd afo yo! You ain't no miiiind readuh G! But that is a nice looking job you've done there... it's clean, plumb, consistent... It's almost like you know what you're doing! 😝 All jokes aside though, I have used my own variation of that "home made multi strip ripping tool" before, although it was admittedly using different types of material. That's the sort of thing that sometimes you'll get criticism for the time it takes to set it up, but the same people are later blown away by how quickly and precisely you were able to finish it. It's just like looking at a job and running all the steps through your head before you start lifting a tool... You can anticipate barriers and obstacles before you ever encounter them, which means you can save countless hours & wasted materials, just by taking that extra 20 - 30 minutes before "starting." The same 20 - 30 minutes that impatient people who don't understand the process will call, "time-wasting." Seeing the precision that you put into your jobs, convinces me that you also take those very important preliminary steps.
Set the end of that screen between 2 boards and you'll make cutting strips far easier. Or just wrap it around 1 and hold it good, then make those last couple inch cuts at that end 👈😉👉
Speaking from ignorance here because it isnt my field. I live in Florida, and houses down here dont have any of that stuff. It's literally cinder block, painted, with trusses on top.
Two layers of WRB is overkill, manufacture just cashing in on hype, pulled siding on 50 year old house , had nothing but tar paper, sheathing was in perfect condition.
You sure? I’d rather be overkill, nothing wrong with having the best possible product you can possibly have. I’ve torn out rotted sheathing behind tyvek and Hardi siding. It’s not always fail proof. Rainscreen gives me added protection
Would I be wrong in assuming this is the same underlayment for a cedar shingled roof? I believe I installed a similar product made by cobra on a roof with copper valleys a long time (10 yrs) ago
Bro I love the content 💯 been watching you for a long time, and you’ve even helped me with some good ideas 😎 Ive been doing custom work since I was 15, going on 30 now running my own jobs, and I take a lot of pride in all of my work.

@@w.k.d.constructionllc nice! Most that never used the product don’t know there are track marks on the roller to ensure they used the roller. Thanks again for the reply
Hay that jackass R&R construction needs to watch some of your videos. I've been installing siding for 25 years. I'm James Hardy colors Plus certified nichiha, variform certified. I watch all the videos 99% of them are completely wrong. I've used the rain fail house wrap and big grade. I think it's kinda over kill. Yes the wall need to breath. But that's normaly because of a bad install. Nice job though.
@@w.k.d.constructionllc sure saves a lot of material that way. We’ve been doing rainscreen where I live since 2006 and it was always 2” strips of p/t 1/2” plywood. Saw these types of products hit the market a couple years ago and we mostly use it under cedar shakes.
Everything looks good, but when you nail the product you put a hole in it from the nail. So if it's supposed to keep water from getting through, that's no longer happening. I guess it's all about what your trying to accomplish. Water finds a way almost every time.
You are correct…water is sneaky BUT, the screen is a second WRB so it would literally have to be poured in behind the siding to be an issue. Not going to happen here
It’s a material used behind siding or masonry to create an air gap for moisture to dry out on wood framed structures. This particular one is Zip System rain screen
If you think that you would be wrong. I personally talked with Huber engineers and had 2 representatives from Huber come to this project and okay’d cutting into strips. Perfectly fine no voided warranty.
@@w.k.d.constructionllc then you should include that in the commentary and also point to Huber documentation that says as much. I've spoken to Huber reps as well about other details and they are very strict about what you can and can't do.
@@hu5tle- can’t fit every bit of info in 60 seconds. If you get on my channel you can see a few videos where I talk about the rainscreen specifically and dealing with Huber. I was able to get this product before it was released to the public. Only myself and 2 or 3 other people in the united states were lucky enough to do so. I will have a video ready to publish shortly about the detailed instructions on this product.
I used a similar product a few years ago from Mortairvent (Advanced Building Systems) and they suggested using the whole rolls for the best results. Also, so that when you're attaching the siding you don't have more compression where you don't have the strips compared to where you do, which could cause the visually appearance of wavy siding. I don't believe you could use the strip approach if you were using installing a reservoir cladding either. Will keep my eyes our for the other video.
@@hu5tle- definitely no strips with reservoir cladding. Would absolutely have to be solid. Strips worked ideal with this since my vertical siding was only nailed on the edges. Which it was 16” width. Turned out great, no waviness at all.
@@w.k.d.constructionllc So there's a 2x4 laying flat that you mounted the blades into. And then there's a 2x4 mounted vertically on top. No doubt Joey is referring to that one, the vertically mounted one. I too am curious if there is a purpose for it, or maybe was it already attached to the scrap 2x4 with the blades?
@w.k.d.constructionllc I'll have too watch again saw a batten looked every 6 to 8 across and through board but than next scene it was caulk and paint was quick
Uhhhh, it most definitely is. I had the main head honchos of the south eastern region from Huber come by my job site (this exact one) and sign off on this install and love the work I’m doing with their products. So, I’m good there chief
Just can’t use ZIP sheathing and tape in the northern states. (They don’t hold warranty because the bonding of the tape fails over a few years of winter).
@w.k.d.constructionllc uhhhh yes. I remodel in a rainforest. The only products that holds up are old-school felt and flashing done properly. And it's not just me saying that. It's every local carpenter in my region that has any sort of good reputation.

No, not the same. Huber just came out with this in 23’. It’s a secondary water barrier/rain screen
Should make a PVC roller so you pull the screen evenly
Most builders are not this detail oriented
I like to be thorough!
Genius!!

I’m sure it’s an amazing system but does it rain horizontally to get way under the porch?

Is this product supposed to be ripped into strips? Only ever seen it applied as a wrap covering the entire wall it’s being applied to. Curious.
I checked with Hubers engineering dept and it was totally fine.

So you built a thing to save time cutting then use those dumb nails instead of the much faster easier hammer tacker
Is the metal mesh the big screen?
It’s fiberglass screen

Nope, still would need it
Batten nail patern was wrong.
Negative, alternate sides every 12”, diamond Kote or LP suggested pattern
