This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things czcams.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

Awesome video! Wife and I have been debating between replacing our vinyl siding with another brand of vinyl (due to age and house remodel) or the LP Smartside. After watching your video....this is selling me on the Smartside. I'm doing this myself and you just explained everything I need to know. Thank you so much!!!
@@brookbandeen4999 That's my thought as well. I've got a bump out that accumulates snow on the roof. The adjacent wall is going to have snow against it for weeks. No way is particle board going to last.
Best tip was building out in the county without pulling permits!! I heard that Austin has some of thee worst permit processes in all of Texas!! Well done guys!! ✌️ from Iowa!!
You guys are doing a great job, and giving a lot of great info. Just have one thing, Kyle you need to turn your hardhat around buddy. Just want you to look as professional as possible. Love your videos!
I am always very impressed with your attention to detail and craftsmanship. But I have to say the 3/16'' gaps are terrible. I know that is LP's specs but I would not put it on anything that I build. I have done a tour at their plant in North Carolina and was not sold on using it. I think their siding looks way better than Hardie for sure, but that's it. They should of had a better quality of flashing for you to use. That thin gauge galvanize is at the bottom of the flashing category. IMO Stainless, aluminum, painted metal or copper is the only way to go. We always shorten the reveal on the first piece of lap siding by 3/8'' this makes up for the lack of the shadow line on the first piece. You really notice it on 6'' or greater reveals. FINISH NAILS on the trim !!!!! Build us some more post frames you do an awesome job on them.
I have seen in person what happens if you DONT gap smart side. Walls with direct sun will be fucked if you dont. The planks will expand and the joints buckle if no gap is left.
@@RRBuildings the table saw station really sold me and saved time. Hoping the mitersaw station does the same in any giving house we cut 40-50 of the same boards and multiple headers the same size
The most efficient way to install lp lap siding is to make a story pole and mark every corner of the building then snap lines before the windows and doors are set.
Do you not like the seam covers? Also , do you caulk around windows and doors? I just can’t let all that weather get behind the siding. It seems counter intuitive to me.
Product looks nice, but I don't care for the 3/16 gaps needed for expansion. I would think that would be a non-stop maintenance issue having to re caulk all those joints.
Just wondering why you are using mill finish metal for your flashing details as opposed to snow scape trim coil??? Needless to say your attention to detail is extraordinary.
You would think LP would sell a corner piece that butts up to the wall so it keeps you long runs at the exact spacing. It could also have a quad finishing piece that clips onto the top then you only have to carry one of those gauge sticks to keep the correct spacing in centre joins it could also have build in weep holes for drainage.....
I don't understand how a gap between two pieces of siding will acclimate and close up if there is a nail at the end of each board which, I believe, would keep the two boards from stretching to fill in that gap. Please explain.
Rob J most of the movement will be within the frame structure of the building itself, especially if it’s stick frame. The CSB siding doesn’t expand and contract as much as the wood frame. So, when I read your comment, “ ...keep the two boards from stretching to fill in that gap.” I believe you are making a logical comment but may have not considered the movement of the underlying structure.
The special screws are made for the PVC : It's very pro . and ya get the rubber mallet hole fillers, nice and if you can get them in correctly it's covered with warranty. PVC and screws both. No Staples. and if you sink your screw below the surface . Which thats what you want anyways. All you do is insert a rubber hole filler.
very good Kyle, a wonderful video, you have shown all your professionalism.💯💯💯💯👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏,un giorno spero di ricevere un tuo gadget da esporre sul muro delle celebrità nel mio laboratorio ❤️
Can you tell me where you got the primer applicator at 7:02? I am doing LP Smart siding on my house and I have searched everywhere for that little can with a brush. Help, please.
the amount of flex that siding has is incredible hardie better be redesigning there products lol plus it looks so much cleaner to work with cutting hardie is terrible with all the dust plus the silica in it
Help me understand the benefit if this product t, looks to be pretty labor intense. Also, what is the durability/maintenance schedule to be expected? Thank you for any helo
I'm a fan of gecko grips myself, it seems like you need three hands to hang siding with your gap tool. I do entire homes by myself with 2 sets of gecko grips.
What kind of material is that smartside made of? I’m an norwegian carpenter, and most of our houses uses wood as ”rainscreen" ( it’s what we carpenters call it)
that moment when you know more then the producer ...idk what to say about that produce 30years warranty but i think its better to use normal osb and a barrier and in case u change the water barrier not all osb plywoo.its faster with this product but im sure cost its much bigger
Birds can be a problem in Texas. Some well lit places can become like an Alfred Hitchcock movie set at night. To combat it, some people use propane cannons to drive those large flocks away. Texas has loads of grackles, crows, ravens, buzzards, swifts and hundreds of other birds from all over all getting preped for Spring. So, anywhere there are masses of prey, so are predators and varmints. One of many issues of a mild climate.
I've done Hardy Board siding, the only bad was that I had to paint it and repaint it after 2 years. I highly recommend Sherwin Williams paint btw. For those reason I will use Vinyl siding but I am curious on the Price cost on the LP siding. Not everyone has that $250sqft budget. I know it cost more but by how much? 20%, 50%, 200%?
Can u help me out. I'm going to do some siding and some of the videos say its a must to do a rainguard, but I notice that you are not. Does it very by the type of siding? The location? or what? Thanks
I thought LP explicitly states u can’t just pull a piece of the siding off and re-mail it, I was going to do that but was informed u can’t do that because it will void the warranty. Also I thought on your cut edges only have to paint the cut end but also have to apply it several inches up the back of the siding as well?
John Harding looks sharp but my markings are all but gone in underside of the tape after few months of use. Top side suffering fade where using the most 6”-8’ but not as bad. If using regularly/daily I’d recommend steering clear.
Zach Simpson Your absolutely correct. The coating on the blade is poorly made and it will wear down quickly especially on the edge of the blade making it useless to read .
Hey kyle, really enjoy your channel. You seem to have a great work ethic and good personality. I have a question. Maybe others want to know also. You seem to have your business and life in great shape. Can you tell us about any struggles and or some sub par areas that you have struggled with that helped you get to were you are at now. Thanks
I just believe the flashing behind each joint should be color matched to the paint color at the very least, the shiny metal is just not pleasing to the eye.
Hey shout out to RR Buildings I want you to do a project for me someday I've recently seen some of your barn builds and I love them especially the dream shop, literally my dream shop
So is this product the same composition as LP CanExel Composition siding who’s wood fibers are completely coated with industrial-grade resin binders and special water-resistant waxes ?
I kid you not you are the first person I've seen on CZcams that can actually caulk. Can't say I'd use the product over Hardie though. I built a dog house out of smart wood corners and hardie siding and purposely ran the material into the ground 8 years ago. Smart wood layers are separating and paint is flaking...Hardie looks brand new. 20 years down the line when your paint is flaking because of expansion and contraction you will be kicking yourself.
How thick does that board is? I'm trying to use this type of Siding for my house but the one I found is 3/8 x 8 x 12. Is what they have. Is it a good one or should it be thicker?
@@RRBuildings Did you notice you weren't the only person to have to stand on a beam to look taller? The little blonde girl behind you towards the end was doing the same thing. Although I think they had a fan on her as well so will we see your ginger scruff swaying in the breeze next toolsday?
Why do you use flashing at the 3/16" gap of butt joints, but not at the 3/16" gap of siding meeting the door and window trim? By the way, thanks for all of the videos!!
Small tip!!!!..... paint the heads of the nails while there a coil. Then you're shooting painted nails and touch up is twice as better
That's actually pretty damn smart.
Woah holy shit actually a good ass tip in the comments.
I did that and paint bits go all in plunger track 🤦♂️

LP siding is OSB
It will fail at the bottom of the wall!

Painted aluminum bro. For flashing
And now there a lap siding butt joint coming to us this year .
yes the expert finish lap was supposed to be at this job and it didn't make it
Use a pan flash color that matches the siding next time. Stick with 1/8 gaps.
What’s the paint container with built in brush you use when you paint the edges?
Just ordered my cuthub on Friday can't wait to use it. I already had the table saw setup we love it great video on the details

Agreed. I would assume if you were to install in the winter, it'd be necessary but in the middle of summer it shouldn't be necessary
It expands like crazy it’s highly recommended and keeps you within warranty
Just wondering why you are using mill finish metal for your flashing details as opposed to snow scape trim coil??? Needless to say your attention to detail is extraordinary.
22:12 Tip.....put a flat pencil between the saw and the lever! It will keep it steady and you have your other hand again
You would think LP would sell a corner piece that butts up to the wall so it keeps you long runs at the exact spacing. It could also have a quad finishing piece that clips onto the top then you only have to carry one of those gauge sticks to keep the correct spacing in centre joins it could also have build in weep holes for drainage.....
Look up a siding gecko.
We always cut the notches from the back of the siding. Easier to mark with a pencil and saw table doesn't mess up the painted siding.

Can you tell me where you got the primer applicator at 7:02? I am doing LP Smart siding on my house and I have searched everywhere for that little can with a brush. Help, please.
You didn't show how to deal with the inside corner. I would assume you put a 1x1 in the corner prior to installing the siding

Have you even done a video explaining the advantages/disadvantages of pole barns over traditional buildings?
I see that you tooled the caulking between the siding and the door trim. depending on the caulking used, it isn't necessary to tool it.
Agree 100% and never do on my own projects. LP wanted too
quad says never tool
Can we get an update on the "cannon"? I need to know now
they just kept it there...we worked around it

Shouldn't the spacing be adjusted based on the length of the piece or no? I assume there is a factor of expansion per linear foot. No?

Great Tips for my latest home project...Thank You Sir....wondering what siding gun are you using?
Why not use pre-painted white aluminum flashing instead of galvanized? Wouldnt stick out like a sore thumb then
What brand and model of siding nailer are you using?
Where did you get those little blue paint cups with a brush?
I have looked everywhere and can't find them. Ended up making my own. Attached a foam brush with wood dowel handle to the lid of a small plastic jar.
In the flashing section of the video, do you need to run a 1 x 6 freeze board around whole perimeter of house for the warranty, or is this optional?
I thought LP explicitly states u can’t just pull a piece of the siding off and re-mail it, I was going to do that but was informed u can’t do that because it will void the warranty. Also I thought on your cut edges only have to paint the cut end but also have to apply it several inches up the back of the siding as well?
how much do you over lap the sidding, and the stagger method?
Great!
Where do I get that cool primer can with the brush on the lid??!!
LP sells an expert finish paint touch up kit that has various applicators... might be that
Nice work as usual. Would normally use white flashing so it would blend in?
I agree 100%... i was just the labor haha
Vary good video
Can you tell where I can get the orange tools that you used
it's called "SimpleSider adjustable siding gauge"
@15:23 "....caulk never lasts"....Than show all the places caulk is used?
Caulk isn’t used persay for the smartside it is to protect your wrb from UV and other damage.
@@RRBuildings I understand. Overall, I wish there was a better solution than caulk.
Love your tape where can I get one
Lowes
@@orgaanik but I am in the UK? who makes it
Its a Lufkin Shockforce nite eye

Zach Simpson Your absolutely correct.

verry cool
What is LP Smartside made out of? Why choose it over Hardie Board?
So much easier to work with. Much more durable. Use any of your traditional wood cutting tools
Clever and convenient primer applicator 7:02 ... Is that a PTFE liquid tape pipe dope? ;)
How do you remove the bottom two lap siding to install a ledger board and reinstall the smart siding?
Can I install the LP Smartside on my 40'x60' shop/solar structure that is currently a pole building with solar panels on completed roof?
Without stick framing it....can I use the horizontal baten method then sheet it and side it.
Gah lee this guy is good
I thought that pop was you guys doing some nailing
What air nailer are you using?
Aren't you nailing the bottom edge of the boards?? Surely the boards would splay/warp outwards over time??
Nope, the overlap tension holds it.
Why not white aluminum for flashing instead of steel??

I just believe the flashing behind each joint should be color matched to the paint color at the very least, the shiny metal is just not pleasing to the eye.

I see that they are requiring a Hard Hat but what about the safety glasses while using the nail gun? 😁
I had my glasses all day... if I slipped it was my bad

Speed square works fine
it's called "SimpleSider adjustable siding gauge"
Nice man thanks
Do you paint the galv. Flashing that’s exposed around the window header and the laundry exhaust?
Don't like the 3/16 gaps. Caulking should be a last resort. LP needs to engineer something with lower expansion qualities.
And the flashing should be the same color
How thick does that board is? I'm trying to use this type of Siding for my house but the one I found is 3/8 x 8 x 12. Is what they have. Is it a good one or should it be thicker?
