Here's a video on how I like to bend my end dams for windows and any dead end flashings. You want 1" dams? make 1 inch marks, pretty simple. If enough people like this I'll post 1 piece outside corners next and the ABSOLUTE best way to fold them, bar none #protip #siding #sidinghouses…

These 2 "intersecting gables" have been weighing on my mind, quite literally, since I quoted this house in March... The man lift wouldn't fit in. The pump jacks wouldn't work, as the gable is roughly 14 feet long up the roofline... Borrowing this staging was the last form of scaffolding available…

Squashed my finger under a full 4x10 sheet yesterday, so the boss gave me a nice Tuesday off 🥰 #siding #sidinghouses #hardie #construction #contractor

This particular bandboard needed extra build out to accommodate for the metal walls on the ICF foundation underneath... The bandboard height was determined by the band on the deck. My 2x10 was a continuation of the existing deck band.... Unfortunately it just so happen to land halfway on every…

Sometimes #hardie shingles don't land in the best spots... Over the years I've found that nailing pieces under 1 inch, although possible, can sometimes be rather annoying... Sometimes this is unavoidable, but if you can, it's always best to keep those small pieces attached... Nail around the…

I've been asked recently if I also cut my #colorplus Board from the backside, which was a great question.... The truth is, you absolute cannot notch board on the backside. There would be no way to tell where to stop your cuts.... For that reason, I run a hybrid cutting system. If there are no…

How I like to start my wood #soffit runs on Gables... This is some Rayban footage from this tall gable on Mt. Washington Alpine Village. It's roughly 40 feet at the peak. Too tall for my poles and ladders to reach. Thankfully the painters had this beauty JLG on site... I love it so much I just…

As a Solo Siding Contractor, some days are back breaking and certain tasks can seem impossible at times... Those days make you appreciate a set-up like this one even more... The painters have the lift for the front, and I have the poles for the tight side walls... We will be working together in…

Board and Batten... Another highly productive 3 days on Mt. Washington. This wall, as well as the back, are both ready to paint... I'll be off to Bamfield to finish that job off while they paint off my pump jacks #siding #construction #hardie #boardandbatten #soffit

#onthisday I've seen a couple videos circulating about tapered siding and "why the face isn't square." One video in particular was by Pomes Construction or whatever that cry baby's name is... I commented that you need to cut it from the backside and it comes out square. Had about 40 keyboard…
