Ask janos what watch he wears please I have been trying to figure it out forever now. I've noticed it on the last 3 videos that his watch is multicolored and I need to know badly.
I agree with Jason on this one. As everyone on your team ages (and needs to respect their bodies), it may be time to buy a cherry picker for the group to help with the hauling and lifting of trusses, sheet goods, and deck boards. We had one for our team of four, and it was invaluable to our work.
Just got back from a concert in Red Rocks… getting on the plane to head home from Denver and looked up in the line in front of us the to my surprise was the whole gang from the Perkins crew. What a bunch of great guys. I said Hi to them and they were so gracious. It made my day. Keep the videos coming.
Enjoyed seeing Chase + Mason pitching-in. Kids that have fathers that can and do teach them are blessed - and by showing these 2 young men getting that kind of experience is a wonderful message (+ hopefully a hint) to elder relatives viewing this video!
Hard work given you can't get a crane - but you have just dealt with it the best way you can and great for the boys to be onsite whilst school is closed.
Things have been crazy in western north carolina since Hurricane Helene. Makes sense they are just powering through it, true grit, because everything has been in short supply. Especially heavy equipment. You guys rock
@PerkinsBuilderBrothers. In 2023, you rebuilt a deck, right by the water, for your former teacher. I got to thinking about him and the proximity of his house to the water. Do you know if he faired OK in the storm? Thanks.
Bryson city didn't get nearly the rain they got just to the East. Like 10" compared to 30". Deep Creek, which ran by that house, didn't even get to flood stage. So, everything was fine.
Nothing like the joy of your crew just being themselves. It’s laugh out loud hilarious. Always something new to learn. Sometimes muscle is the answer. The fog building shots were just magical.
I’m surprised you guys haven’t welded an extension arm for the excavator, helped my dad remove sections of roof and trusses using an extension arm on the excavator.
Hey Jason! Back in the day our crew "pushed" trusses ground to garage roof to 2nd floor deck and then up to the 2nd ceiling joists and then walked them down the outside plates without walk planks. Roof pitch 6/12 so sheathing required 4X lifts to the trusses! No harm/no foul!~ Great job to all you hardy modern crane-less truss humpers! Love your channel
A sign of great carpenter/builders is how well improvise to get things done! This project has been and continues to be maybe your best! All the best Perkins Brothers and crew!
Thanks for the laughs, your hard work and attention to detail. Hope you can get a crane sooner than later, though that seems doubtful given all the recovery efforts from HELLene’s devastation. Be safe and take care “boys”! ❤❤️🔥❤️ And they to Bob!
I wouldn't mind double the length of videos 40 to 50 minutes would be great, I can't get enough 20 minutes flies by so fast, it's almost like a tease😅! Please longer videos or more videos❤❤❤
@@lylewaters6161 people complained when they posted videos of the concrete forms. Eric does his best working, editing and being a dad and husband. I bet he barely sleeps.
Great video! It's fun seeing more and more "big" progress. Love seeing the family out doing stuff while schools are shut down (working or fishing haha).
Watching all of you walk the long trusses up is what I look forward to tomorrow. Heading to a job to run 70ft standing seam roof panels. Love your videos guys. 😁😁
Poor Jaime, sad that he's waiting to be cut off, he's just sharing his wealth of knowledge! Why does time fly by so quickly during these videos?? Making great progress, guys!!
9:57 poor Jamie.... nobody asked him 😢😅 then to get splattered with a bug not long afterwards 😂. Great the young lads helped out, invaluable learning. Happy to hear you breathing Eric and those who comment otherwise don't do heavy physical labour. Thanks for the laughs and great editing. Until next week, have a safe one 😊
oh man, that was cold. Jamie being twitchy thinking you are going to cut him off, you say "no man, letting you have your say" then cutting him off in the editing process. LOL
Well done Fellas. Anything that Required a Ladder or Scaffold was always stressful when I was in the Construction Industry. I could never overcome that fear. To anyone who is able to deal with heights Construction is an absolutely rewarding job.
3 things - LOVE your videos! That was sooooooooo much deodorant spray I laughed so hard as he continued to spray for what seemed forEVER. Lastly, when you showed leaning over and grabbing the black rope, I went queasy because I hate heights. Well done with camera angles!
My dad was a civil engineering technician. He was the one that the engineers would give the figures to. Then he would draw the plans. And double check them. He worked for our city before computer came. When Autocad came in. It was a nightmare at first. He could pull up where in the archive everything was faster than the computer. People would go to him to get things done.
You guys should create a list of the surprises encountered during this build and how each affected labor and material costs. That would be very interesting to me. As an example, not having a crane due to Helene.
I am glad to see that you guys have escaped the damage from the hurricane, and you are all safe. I know things are crazy, and it must suck. I was thinking about the trusses, and the difficulties you guys where facing. Would it be beneficial to buy some pulleys? you can build yourself some mini cranes, and use a pulley to lift the trusses and other materials? I think Jamie could quickly put together a system with some pulleys. Vevor even sells bunch of systems. Might be worth looking into. I just image a steel pull up, will a bearing on the top and a little below, with a steel pull off the top and a metal brace to other other bearing so it spins around, and a pulley at the end up the pull. Mount this in a corner somewhere and you can lift up your material. Just thinking out loud.
Okay! Enough with the hot sauce in with the tools, and getting to the jobsite and forgetting some tool! You guys need a trailer to put all of your tools, and supplies in. Jamie could really customize it to fit your needs!
