Black Siding Installation!...Does my WIFE Like It?? 

The classic Jimmy Diresta saying (if it looks straight it is straight) I’ve been following you since you built his dream shop

Kyle, it was awesome to see the real owner and boss on the job. 🤣🤣

Love the look of the black siding

videographer is a magician in post production and filming...WOW!

Damn Kyle.......you are a professor of construction. Every important detail was clearly explained / defined and shown. And you both make it entertaining. Always great content. Thanks!

WOW! I love the BLACK. I built my own 12,000 SQFT pole building 30 years ago and sure wish I would have had your videos back then. Mine are still working good but your details are something to be proud of.

QUALITY SELLS ITSELF ALL DAY LONG!!! Outstanding Job, and Great Video! 🇺🇸

"If it's looks straight, it is straight" Jimmy Diresta

Whoa! I was not expecting full goth. Awesome!!

I hope you realise that when potential customers see R&R HQ 2.0, you'll have more business than you know what to do with! Excellent work Kyle and Greg.

Excellent work and explanations of the various processes. personally, it's all a little too dark for me, perhaps it may contrast better in person? But it's your building, so you do whatever you like! However my wife loved it,

Kyle, you've outdone yourself on this build, absolutely fantastic great work for you and Greg.

Your attention to detail is amazing. This building is extremely well built. Your great-great grand kids will show this building to their grand kids. It will still be standing firm.

It looks so clean, I love the shadow lines.

The two of you should be patting yourselves on the back with each part of this build because it is awesome. Hopefully you will throw a big party at the completion for every last person that put in their skills to your shop.Stay safe and can wait to see this outside done so you can get to work with the inside.

Awesome looking building!

Awesome framers of course! Looks great!

Absolutely an impressive build 👌 👍

Looks great! Love the black

That looks awesome.Great attention to detail and explanation.

Looks great guys! Great video and construction detail / training also! Love it.

Great attention to detail❤️

Wow, that’s looking amazing. You guys are doing a great job and really good content to go along. Thank you.

Black on Black does look awesome. But i wonder what the Grey would’ve looked like for the trims and corners

Looks amazing, great job. It'll be a real show piece of your work when its all done.

Wow, what a look! Love it.

5/4 refers to the dimension of natural wood when cut green. After second cut or planing it's 1" (and sometimes a bit, as it can vary from mill to mill). It seems that manufacturers of composite materials have adopted that basic measurement to describe the final thickness, so as to ease visualisation of the dimensions of planed natural wood and composite wood products equallly.

Gorgeous building!

Looking awesome guys. Wife's approval said it all.💥💯💥💯👍👍👍👍👍

They blue is disappearing. I thought of the blue as a memorial to Blue from the movie Old School. You’re my boy Blue! 😂

its refreshing to see how thoroughly you two build this thing, being knowledgeable about manufacturer specifications and then actually installing the products according to them rather than just cutting things and banging them up

First time seeing black siding,wow great choice,man that looks great,GOD BLESS

Absolutely looking great 👍

Kyle, Greg That black siding looks great. Good job guys

Kyle kick it up a notch do a awning roof over the garage doors with timber frame knee braces!!

Kyle, this is absolutely fantastic work from you and Greg it looks stunningly good

You guys are in long pants, long shirts, then jackets, then shorts and t-shirts. Glad we are not the only ones with Sybil for weather...

It's beautiful. Very detailed. Real pro! I'd like this done to my house. Nothing like this in the neighborhood. Fantastic!

Looks terrific!

Love it! Very manly looking! Good job!

Dam, that looks really good. Really nice work guys!!!!!!!!

That will be one hot house in the summer with all that black!

The building looks great

Excelent job looks awesome

Your building is looking great. Nice touch with the ceder shack upper on the front .

Looks awesome Kyle! 😃👍🏼👊🏼 .... Jimmy!

It's looking beautiful. Can't way to see the next color.

Big Stretch is the best caulk ever...did some farmhouse window frame trims outta cedar years ago after installing new vinyl windows in my 1st home...similar to you...All 5/4 cedar glued with titebond waterproof glue and pocket screwed them together..one coat of Zinzer shellac based primer, then a coat of alkyd primer and lightly sanded them...caulked them in with Big Stretch...two coats of Finish paint...went back to the house 20 years later...never repainted in 20 years...trim still looked good...no cracks in the joints or the caulking...I was amazed You could have used that 'shadow line' from the soffit for that angle tool too...also caught the 'baccer' rod comment...lol...get one of those expansion joint guys to do those joints like they do on a commercial building...they got the good stuff...looking good bro...Nobody will be leaning on that siding in the sun during the summer...Cant wait to see the gray

Looks awesome, Kyle!

Kyle and Greg. I really like the way you strain the details.

Looking great!!!

Looks bad ass boys!!! Diresta would approve!

Very cool with the shingled look up high on the wall.

Geeze there Kyle, Do ya think Greg coulda found the black nails over there at Lowes? Yea, The black nails. Shoulda had gotten the black nails. I'm tellin ya there Kyle ~ it's in the details. And I hope you took up my suggestion for the R&R Club on weekends. Maybe even live music, Jazz maybe. So much oh so cool space. Connect with a local brewery. Just a few "I.P." selections. Just Friday and Saturday nites. Course you'd have to have one of those mirror balls and special lights. Everybody in the neighborhood would love it. But Kyle ~ Shhhhh~ Don't tell the wife. Secret. Just between you and Greg. Good recovery on the nails Greg. Wow. This place is from another planet! Whoo Weee! ~ The lighting for the R&R Club. ~. Whoosh! 💥👍💥

That black B&B looks great. Always liked B&B but have never seen black.

Seeing more and more of this, I got a chance to design a timber frame home with black exterior and I was drooling myself while working on the drawings.

When you have 5/4, it is the “rough cut” when you plain it down you remove some of the surface to make it smooth. This thins it down to the finish thickness.

That’s what I get for watching 2 days late. Everyone already put Jimmy in for the quote.

Damn good looking structure!!!

You know your going to hv massive request for that building ? I call it the “ The complexity of Darkness” !

Great job as always

Looks great!

Kind of surprised you didn't put the same rain screen material behind the smartside like you did on the roof.

Looking great.

*Video Summary: Installing Smart Side Siding* * *Project:* Installing black board and batten Smart Side siding on a large building with multiple wings. (0:00) * *Goal:* Complete the black siding on the north wing of the building in this video. (12:12) * *Key Details:* * Smart Side siding is 16 feet long and requires breaks at wall plate lines for movement in traditional stick framing. Since this is a post frame/balloon frame, full length pieces can be used. (14:44) * The siding is installed over weather logic for drainage. (27:26) * A 3/8" spacer is used between the siding boards and above flashing. (5:48, 17:28) * Pre-assembled Smart Side trim is used for windows and doors with butt joints instead of mitered corners due to the movement of the siding material. (28:56) * Special head flashing is installed above windows and doors to protect the horizontal trim from moisture damage. (27:31, 41:56) * A belly band board is installed at the top of the lower section of siding to break up the wall and allow for proper flashing. (15:34) * LP Smart Side shakes are used for the gable ends. (43:48) * *Next Steps:* The next video will cover installing the Cory gray siding on the remaining sections of the building. (47:59) *Video-Zusammenfassung (in Deutsch): Installation von Smart Side Verkleidung* * *Projekt:* Installation von schwarzer Smart Side Verkleidung in Stülpschalungsoptik an einem großen Gebäude mit mehreren Flügeln. (0:00) * *Ziel:* In diesem Video die schwarze Verkleidung des Nordflügels des Gebäudes fertigstellen. (12:12) * *Wichtige Details:* * Smart Side Verkleidung ist 16 Fuß lang und erfordert Brüche an den Wandplattenlinien, um Bewegungen in traditionellen Ständerbauten zu ermöglichen. Da es sich um einen Pfostenbau/Balloon-Frame handelt, können durchgehende Stücke verwendet werden. (14:44) * Die Verkleidung wird über Weather Logic zur Entwässerung installiert. (27:26) * Zwischen den Verkleidungsplatten und über der Blechverwahrung wird ein Abstandhalter von 3/8" verwendet. (5:48, 17:28) * Für Fenster und Türen werden vormontierte Smart Side Leisten mit stumpfen Stößen anstelle von Gehrungsecken verwendet, da die Verkleidungselemente arbeiten. (28:56) * Über Fenstern und Türen wird eine spezielle Blechverwahrung installiert, um die horizontale Leiste vor Feuchtigkeitsschäden zu schützen. (27:31, 41:56) * Am oberen Ende des unteren Verkleidungsabschnitts wird eine Bauchbinde angebracht, um die Wand aufzulockern und eine ordnungsgemäße *Blechverwahrung* zu ermöglichen. (15:34) * Für die Giebelenden werden LP Smart Side Schindeln verwendet. (43:48) * *Nächste Schritte:* Im nächsten Video wird die Installation der Cory-Grau-Verkleidung an den restlichen Gebäudeteilen behandelt. (47:59) i used gemini 1.5 pro (2024-05-16)

Nice job Boys!!

Five quarter is saw mill size. Once dried it gets milled down to one inch. Same with 4 quarter. Dried at 1 inch and milled down to 3/4 inch.

Looking awesome

Are the nails you are using stainless steel or galvanized? I had a customer that just wanted all of the exterior nails to be stainless steel, makes sense to stop the rust bleed on the walls eventually. I was thinking, those big giant walls of black would look neat with a RR buildings HQ logo done into the batten strips. If done well, most people would hardly notice it other than it being a design that breaks the continuity of a giant black wall, upon looking closer they would notice the RR HQ done in the design. Hope you understand that thought.

This is starting to break the internet Kyle. Whoa Nelly!

Amazing work as always guys. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I like the paid promotions of Paslode siding nailer, then switch to the pneumatic nailer when it counts.

So is really is good enough for the girls you run with, glad for the confirmation 😅

The immortal words from Jimmy Diresta, "If it looks straight, it is straight."

I did the same pattern, board batten sidewalls, lap gables

looks amazing ...i wonder what it would look like if you did it all in that stone....?

The boards are called and measured in improper fractions. That's why you get a 4/4 and 5/4 and others. Here is an example. 5/4 in a proper fraction form is 1 1/4, Which is the thickness a board is cut. They only measure the cut, not the planing they do afterwards. For example, for a 5/4 board, the lumber mill cuts it to 1 1/4 which is the proper fraction form of 5/4, and then they remove another quarter of width, planing it smooth. Hopefully this helps someone to understand it better.

Stop showing off by 2 gunnin the new Paslode coil nailer lol. Building looks great. Loving this series

Look awesome!!!!!

THANK YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Very nice siding

Looks Sweet

Jimmy Diresta ❤

Looking good.

Good to see the “REAL” customer give you the seal of approval

Diresta, if it looks straight it is straight.
