Hi! I'm Susan, creator of the humorous frugal living website livingrichonless.com. When I'm not sharing budget-friendly tips on how to experience a life filled with joy, peace, freedom and fun, I'm blogging about my latest thrifty decorating, organizing or remodeling project. I've also launched two e-books and a podcast, so be sure to check those out and gain access to lots of other free stuff by visiting my website.
Thanks very much for this video! I begin installing shelving in a reach-in closet tomorrow this is very useful. I may just connect the scribe with my track and then use the "tube scribing" (caulk ) if there is more than 1/8".
Great video, but no house wrap on that garage? I realize a garage is not something you have to cool or heat, but you do need to protect that sheathing.
That is definitely your first time doing it. I like how you cut the video to have the real siding guy do it. I'm a singing guy and I know a noob when I see one. The nail removal isn't that important. It's best to leave it in so you don't add more holes to your house and a lot of times the new piece you cut will fit back in with the same nails but if they don't then hammer them suckers in. At least your outfit is on point tho. Cute video. Thanks for the laugh. 😁
This video is fine, but mislabeled: it should be “How to replace vinyl siding in 15 minutes”. I need to patch, not replace, so this was a waste of my time for an otherwise good video.
thumbs up for showing 'real life' conditions: -short length between two end posts - cool day with stiff vinyl -osb sheeting that can be tough to start a nail in -lady with beautiful manicured hands and not old carpenter with gorilla paws! Some tricks to get around some of these: You can warm up the vinyl with a blow dryer to make it more pliable. You can use a scrap block of wood to hold upper sheet away from wall while you re-nail replacement sheet. You can drill a small pilot hole to start nail, or even use small exterior wood screws with a long drill bit on a cordless drill to reattach vinyl. Also, If your house is like this with no breathable water/wind barrier under the vinyl siding, find an old carpenter with gorilla paws to 'discuss' this with your siding installer!
Thanks so much for tip but it would be helpful to show how to cut the siding especially if one an inch is bad especially for wood siding or wood filler siding
This is fine if your existing siding isn't older and faded. Replacing it with a new section will look worse than the small bit of damage. Any tips on repairing v's replacing older siding?
easy hold it 4 to 6 inc away then when y start to see small bubbles or it start to look lke it crack looking move slow with it with a scrapper right behind it move along no big deal lol
