finally Jaime can speak without being stopped
Yay! Thank you
That sounds like something Jaime would say.
CAMERA MAN STHU!!!!!
Right
Let it all out Jamie. Don’t let Eric cut you off
This channel is a great idea. Many times I have been focused on what Jamie’s saying only for it to get cut off. Love the channels keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thank you!
Stoked to see your new show !! Jamie gets to express his knowledge !! Eric's input put fullness to the thoughts !! Well done by loving brothers 👏 Blessings !!
Thanks!! We are excited to share more
Great idea guys - I'm sure I'm not the only person who is excited to hear Jamie drop the knowledge!
The channel we all needed! Ready for my Perkin's crew knowledge overdose.
Yay a Chanel for Jamie to talk! One time i replaced a top cap on a deck with wet wood and had all the joints tight and within a few weeks all the joints had half inch gaps.
Thank you for your knowledge, I do enjoy listening to Jaime and his knowledge and Eric’s of course
Thanks for watching!
Eric & Jamie,
Thank You for the new channel‼️ It is definitely timely and needed‼️
We built a mountain home, close to a river, for a retired United States Forest Service Official. He bought fresh cut Cypress for interior and exterior siding and ridge beams (huge 60 foot by 6” stacked 2x6 12 boards thick, weighed over 2 tons)~~ALL dripping wet‼️ The tongue & groove siding was very twisted, warped, cupped, knotty etc. Boss (old time 40+ year lock & key builder) started culling boards due to what he thought was poor quality-“ junk”. Customer said, “No No don’t cull anything- the Cypress Wood will “set” & “rest” in place”! Reluctantly, Boss agreed so we used Tongue Pinchers to draw down the boards in place in the groove. At times, one of us would pull the Tongue Pincher while the other would nail in place ( crooked that bad~ using 8 penny finish nails inside and same but galvanized outside~ lots of extra work~ but He was paying)‼️
We went back to check our work 6 months later and then a year later (we all became friends and he hosted Cookout) Not one board had moved‼️ Not even a thirty second‼️ The beam hadn’t checked, warped or split- nothing‼️ It was perfect-just as he said it would be‼️ Yes, that was high $ dollar Maturial, cut straight out of the Okefenokee Swamp‼️
Goes to show~~Never argue with a Forester‼️
This video is very timely because my buddy & I are stripping and redoing his boatdock. Pressure Treatment is not what it used to be‼️ The chemicals have changed and grades- even the ground contact rating wood doesn’t have near the amount of chemicals that was once used!
Thank YALL FOR THE LESSON‼️
Firstt 30 seconds something caught my eye...Jay looking at Jamie like he's a perfectly cooked steak, and he hasn't eaten for daaaaaays
Great video lads!
He’s thinking, “he’s never gonna stop talking”
Hello from Canada! So glad this finally happened, Same week as risinger puts a pressure treated video out, knowledge and practicality together for all.
Duuude, this is the best thing!
Great intermission to PBB!
Great stuff, Jamie!!
Thanks! More to come…
Wow did not realize the process behind it thank you for sharing
The Perkins’ Monopoly has begun. Congratulations PBros.
There are numerous grades of pressure treated wood. It's not just ground vs. non-ground contact. I will describe below:
--UC1 is meant only for indoor areas that are fairly dry. This would be used for general house framing for areas not expected to see water.
--UC2 is meant for damp (but not wet) indoor areas like basements or bathrooms.
--UC3 is made for wet outdoor areas but NOT for ground contact (must be 6" or more above ground).
--UC3A is made for areas where water comes in contact but has rapid runoff.
--UC3B is designed for when water is a bit more stagnant and will sit longer on the wood.
--UC4 is ground contact.
--UC4A is "general purpose" ground contact, such as fences, garden beds, etc.
--UC4B is "heavy duty" ground contact. Stuff that will sit on the ground, but not necessarily buried.
--UC4C is "extreme duty" ground contact and recommended for wood that will be buried as posts, in contact with concrete, exposed to frequent severe weather, or will be submerged in water all (or most) of the time. This is what you want for deck posts, especially if they are going to be buried.
--UC5 is salt-water marine grade.
What I've learned for us here in Germany is that moisture content for indoors with heating should be ~10%, indoors without heating ~12%, outside with roof cover ~15%, outside in weather ~18%. So maybe we have much drier conditions here than where you are at in the US. Expansion though per % of moisture change (below fibre saturation ~30%, above that it doesn't change dimensions) is around 0.3% tangentially, 0.2% radially and only 0.01% longitudinally. That means that if you'd install 4" wide 1" thick (actual size) wet boards (30% and above) tight and they'd dry to let's say 15%, they'd shrink 3/16th in width which would become your gap and 1/32nd in thickness theoretically. Now bring on the jokes about German precision and lack of humor ;)
really great channel ... congrats ...full of knowledge and jnfo.. thanks a lot
I love Jamie's thorough, (long-winded), super-informative explanations! For real!
AWESOME!! Love this idea guys! Preach, Jamie! Preach!
You brothers are Simply the best!!!!!
Great to hear more of Jamie's tricks & tips of the trade!! Yippie on the 2nd channel on CZcams!! Keep up the good work!
I love how Jason is just taking it al in during one monolog and then disappears for the next one :)
I’m a builder myself and know most the stuff you talk about already but I enjoy watching and listening to you talk. I love learning so keep it coming
Thanks… we are learning all the time as well
This was good but I can't wait for the 12 part series on flashing!
lol
Damn, this is really nice. I'm in front of a computer all day BUT want to do wood-working in the future. Thanks a ton, fellas.
Outstanding! I've been looking forward to this
Hey I’ve seen you before… ha
@@jaimeperkins9606
Your name sounds kinda familiar 🤔 😉
Are You Here⁉️
Congratulations on Your build‼️
I’m very excited for this channel ! Great vid
Great! Looking forward to gleaning all the knowledge I can from you guys!
Dude! This is perfect for Jamie!! Sometimes when the guys cut you off Im like …. “NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” 😂. Keep talkin brother!! Excellent stuff guys!!
Love this new channel!
This is THE KNOWLEDGE CHANNEL! It’s POWERFUL!!!!!!
Looking forward to the channel! Excited to learn! Teach me o’ wise ones!
Ellis in the background soaking up the knowledge. Too good. 6:50 mark. 😂
Jamie, I really enjoy hearing you talk about things. You are so knowledegable and informative. Thanks.
That house has an amazing view. Love it
Love it, so helpful. Just great that we get another channel to learn from these great builders.
Great information, thank you for sharing your knowledge 😎
Perfect subseries. Just what I needed.
Superb vid and super informative. Wonderful addition to the channels!
Okay, good job on the treated wood class. The new channel is going to be great.
This is a greet channel keep talking my friend
I love this! Learning about materials is something you have to be in the job for as long as you guys to know this. I am grateful that you have created this. Keep it going!
I love this new channel. Let Jamie cook!
I’m so excited for this channel!!!
Great stuff. Wish I knew some of this years ago. What a great way for young trades people to pick up knowledge quickly!
Yes !!! I love your other channel guys. And this made my day. Because I do want to hear your guys knowledge from experiences. Keep this up , get nerdy with it. And let Jamie loose!
Really good call making this channel. Jamie is still being interrupted, though. 🤣
Jamie is going to love this channel
Pressure treated is like using green cut lumber off a sawmill. I buy it in advanced bring it home stack it proper on stickers and let it dry 90 days in summer or longer in cold weather. Proper stacking will cure about all the problems. Now i am drying 6x6 and 4x4 post with about 500 ft of rough sawed on top holding it down.I will use it first week of November.I used ground treated 2x6 for rafters in addition i just built this year.Reason was they was cheaper than regular 2x6. But i dried them for 90 days and so far no problems
.
Finally Jaime can speak
Next channel idea, you guys (Jamie) in the shop!
I knew a very old carpenter that started building houses using lumber sawed on site. They had to build the house in such a way that everything worked after it dried.
The people have spoken and Eric has listened! Jaime gets to talk!!!
Sweet. I dig the detail oriented focus of this channel.
This is very helpful!!!!! Thank you! Subscribed at 756!
One episode in:
SO
HAPPY
THIS
CHANNEL
IS
BORN
! ! ! ! !
I’ve been wishing for something like this.
Great idea for a new channel! I feel like I've picked up bits and pieces of knowledge watching your home builds, but having no real in-depth building experience, this will really add to it.
I enjoy hearing Jamie's knowledge and expert wisdom very smart man keep it up already subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
I built a deck at a Scout camp one time and we listened to the guy directing us and left no gap because all the wood was wet. Well that wood never separated and that deck held water like a pond. it was a 16'x25' deck. Yes as we hammered the deck on, water came out of the boards as we did. I would never recommend not leaving some gap after that experience 30 years ago. they ended up cutting slits in the whole deck before staining a year later.
Those lumber tags on the ends look like the same ones that come from my local lumber supplier. Culpeper lumber here in Thomson Georgia. Around Augusta Georgia. What a coincidence.
Sorry. Seems to not be. It's probably from the wood preserver company.
You should list your other channel under the channels tab on the home pages of each of your pages... You should list them Ray-Jay boys on there too. 😁
Great Info!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this! Get to hear Jamie speak! Really interested in knowing how that experiment worked out.
I think this will perfectly complement the main channel
This is great! Details details details! Let him talk!
I bought 7 wet pressure-treated 2x8s at Lowes and assembled them right away into a deck frame, before they had a chance to warp or cup. The frame is held together with hot-dipped lag bolts and has blocking between the joists five feet apart, so they can't warp. I measured the width of all the joists, and they were within a 1/16 of an inch. I'm letting the deck frame sit out in the sun for several days so they can dry, but I'm pretty sure my design will not let them warp or cup. The whole frame can shrink a bit, but that won't matter.
When I cut the 4x4 vertical posts, I'm going to use a laser level to get them individually cut to the exact right height. Again, if the 4x4s change dimensions a bit, it won't matter: The weight of the deck should keep them consistent. I think the key to using bigbox store pressure-treated lumber is to get it all put together before it has a chance to warp.
This is the perfect channel for Jaime!
I'm living for the Jamieknowledgy channel ❤️
Awesome channel guys. I've now run out of Perkins episodes. It's always a pleasure to watch them. Thanks guys. I'm getting a lot of tips for my next diy build. 2nd story addition on a 29' x 28' bungalow style house. I am keeping it short or 1.5 story looking with Nantucket dormers on the front and back. I've gotten a lot of information from you guys, for that I am grateful. Your crew is great and really dang good at what you do. This channel is going to be great I know it.
Thanks from Minnesota!
Pleased to see this. Do more I love to learn from you guys.
Yes sir...let's go!!!!!!!!!
Need more of these!!
Good job guys
Ironically, I think I subscribed to PBB’s when they had around 5k subscribers. Love the growth, love the content.
Congratulation on the new chanel!!!
that whiskey barrel thing you talked about: the same principle applies to wooden hot tubs. they'll leak a wee bit when they're dry but once filled with water the wood expands making all the joints seal up.
Great stuff fellas! Wish there was a second thumbs up button!
Let Jaime talk!!! Perfect channel idea for dropping knowledge bombs.
12 minutes of uninterrupted Jamie? Bliss
A while back, I built a couple ten foot long sawhorses that have 2x6's on the top. They are pressure treated and were fairly wet when I bought them. Now that they have dried out, one looks pretty good, the other looks like a sway back nag. If we get quite a bit of rain, it looks pretty good, but when it dries back out, the nag is back. It makes it interesting to try using them. I need the length, I've built two eight foot projects and have a ten foot one to do yet.
This was an interesting video. Thanks for the information. Have a good day.
I believe thicknesses should be called thickni
Great subscribed immediately let's get it !
I'm stoked to have uninterrupted Perkins knowledge! I need all I can get for my upcoming home construction. Doing it myself so I need all the tricks fellas!
Thank you for recording and posting this valuable educational video.
Something I've noticed you have not shown in your other videos, you did not mention here, and I assume the treatment companies still tell you should be done is treating the cut edges in the field.
Excited for your new channel. Matt Risinger just did a treated lumber video too, but he got more into the technical details of the ratings. Not trying to rain on your parade, he's a knowledgeable guy, but I'd rather watch you guys any day.
Good job
Thanks
Awesome video. As a weekend DIY'er, I always thought the higher the moisture content, the better the protection, and continually dealt with twisting and shrinking. Now I know why!!! Subscribed and notifications turned on...looking forward to future videos.
This is awesome! Ive been loving the content you guys put out!
Perfect, Been learning about the trade with your channels to someday build a house of my own. I'm a Mechanic and i need every detail, its in my blood! haha
That thumbnail. Love it. Structure lumber #1 with a 💕🤫
About time we got some long format knowledge from Jamie!
Video requests - The flying buttress construction and free standing domes with no center support
Wish the kiln dried was available around here, would be willing to pay the price for small DIY projects.
Oh thank god. I always feel like I’m getting so much inside knowledge just as Jamie is being cut off.
When Eric speaks - I’m entertained
When Jamie speaks - I’m educated
When Jason speaks I think - well ... that’s one way to do it
A great combination for a great show. Not (a tad)boring like This Old House or overdramatized like the Flip it shows on HGTV. Hope you guys keep filming projects.
Thanks Dustin!!
In the western half of our country the treated lumber is "incised" (don't know the spelling) which is a brown color and has little incisions down the whole length of it maybe every 1" or 2". It would make it much harder to use the wood in a finished application. Awesome channel guys. I've been a sub to PBB for a long time now. Always happy to watch any content you produce.
I was wondering about that. I live in the PNW and have only seen that version. Seems like cedar is a more prevalent solution here.
@@JoshuaRes Yes. Or Redwood. I guess it's just because you guys have a much wetter weather. But I live in Pittsburgh PA and we are not far behind with rain I think. Lol.
Great stuff!!! Thank you!
You guys rock.
Excellent Jamie!! The Master Speaketh
