I Finished Board And Batten Siding!!! 

Wood siding is stunning. It really blends in with your beautiful surroundings. Vote against tin on the bottom. If you have enough wood, wood siding all the way to the bottom. Thank you for allowing your viewers to ride along your family’s journey.

My dad and I use to paint houses and we must have painted hundreds of Board and Batten sided houses in Wichita Ks. they were usually ruff cedar. It is a very common siding on houses all over the place. It looks great! Many houses like this in wealthy neighborhoods. We always caulked the cracks until the siding was air tight. Helps on energy bills and makes the house less drafty. Caulk each batten and every crack to seal it up weather tight they have clear paintable caulk.

I really appreciate the videos you make. Very inspiring! And just down to earth. Your doing a great job man! Thanks again! God bless!

Love the way the tin is attached. Looking period correct. Looks so timeless. It's as if it was there 100 years.

Your home is looking amazing. I see this as a testament of how much you love your Family and how dedicated you are to provide for them.

Your hard work is really paying. The house looks more and more beautiful. Keep up!

I like it! I’m glad you’re moving inside next week. Enjoy your weekend!

House just gets better and better looking!

I love it! This is what we plan on doing for the front, back and dormers on our A-Frame house

I love the tin on the bottom! We have it too and just moved into our new home. My dad built their little house 20 years ago and put the strips of wood up too. Love what you've done and couldn't stop smiling.

As I have mentioned in other post, I enjoy watching videos of homesteading, cabin construction, design and ultimately a finished product. The thing that appeals to me is when the channel author shows the tremendous ability to do these things without the constant talking, just enough to explain to the DIY'er. Great channel and look forward to many more videos.

Your energy levels and determination continue to astound me, then I think back to when I was your age and some of the projects I did seem crazy today. You sir have done an awesome job building your home never mind on the budget that you went with.

Heath and Cedar, you have accomplished so much this year and have so much to be proud of. May God abundantly bless you and your family in 2019.

great job thank you for continuing to share your build with us.

Thank you so much for reducing the pollution even just a little by shutting off the truck to get out and open the gates. You seem to be a great friend of our Earth. Get there, build a fire, and get to work. Always a great beginning to have a warm spot to take breaks in later in the day. The siding looms great.

I am inspired by your patience. The work is lovely.🌸

Your house is so beautiful! God bless you for your work,for you and your family!

BLOWN AWAY!!! At how beautiful incredible and magnificent this home is I love that when it’s siding it is so beautiful. I love the tin on the bottom - different color different texture, adds interest. Very well done!

Love watching the older videos you guys!

Incredibly beautiful. Just amazing!

I have to admit sir, your are a great deal of motivation to me. Every time I feel overwhelmed with my project I sit down, go on RU-vid, your channel specifically and see what you accomplish. It gets me pumped to keep pushing forward. Thank you.

Looking GREAT!

I have never seen a home built with such Love & Care> thank-you for sharing the journey with us!

Looks great! You are doing a heck of a job!

so very cool and your right some of the things we love about rustic building was once considered cheap and for the poor and that why so many log houses where boarded over and painted just so people would think you were not so poor

I like how you talk over what you are doing . well done.

Looks awesome 👏 keep up the hard work it’s paying off what a great place you have

It really really is looking great. That rustic look you were going for is dead on. What sets it off is the scroll work on the rafter ends . I like the metal on the wall at the back door, hope Cedar likes it too.

The house is looking Good!!! I can't wait to see the Finished product!!!!

I like the corrugated steel, really cool how you set up the wood pieces to allow the steel to be slid in. It's a nice finish for an area that can take a beating.

Yes, I love the board and baton finish. It gives it wonderful character and an finished look . Great work xxx

Very good work . Pretty working weather. Lots Board batten used today in Ga. Including on my place. I like the old Ford work truck in the video. I owed one like that in early 80s.

It’s really starting to feel like a home sweet home 🏠!! The satisfaction of being able to build your own home is awesome!

The tin siding on the lower half looks cool. Adds contrast to the wood. A nice rustic detail.

I just love the way it looks as well.

Great job, that old truck owes you nothing and will be good for another 20 years. It’s a wise man that gets his wife’s approval, keeps the family happy. Best wishes for 2019, looking forward to the shop build.

Looking amazing and awesome. Can not wait to see the inside finished.

I can't believe people would look down upon something so beautiful. it totally makes sense it would be in demand today. it really is quite beautiful. I so love watching these videos. its a nice escape to what could be and its nice to know its happening for you. best wishes. I can't wait to see you guys living in this place!

The house is looking awesome, I really like the tin accent on the bottom. Looking forward to the inside videos now, I always learn something when watching. Thanks for sharing

What a great way to end the evening!

It is fun to see the table saw. It's just like the one my dad used. Make sure that the kids don't clean their boots by kicking that wall by the back door and messing it up. Great job. I enjoy your posts.😆

Absolutely amazingly beautiful!!!!! Your voiceover is extremely soothing. Belief, faith, and consistent action never ceases to amaze.

The detail on those rafters are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I have always love the look of board and batten and the tin on the bottom looks awesome too!!! Beautiful home!!!!!!

Its looking great and finally you can enjoy a heated work space, please keep sharing :)

The old board and baton may have been cheap. However it was seen through most of the country and is a staple of our National. That is why it is making a comeback. God bless

What a MAN! God bless you and your family they must be so proud of you.

I like the tin. Makes it look old and rustic. Just like you wanted.

God bless you and thank you for all the valuable information that you're sharing with us. That is exactly what I want to do in the bottom part of my house I am at DIY ER and I will be doing it by myself. I love the way he looks congratulations

I like... It make the home look eclectic and different .. plus matches the roofs. I think the Board and Batten gives the home a Scandinavian sort of look , well I think so ... Again I like the look of your home... A Great Home .. .Ninette Bird , The Caribbean Wife.

I didn't know what to think about having tin on the bottom. But the way you did it, made it look AMAZING!! Always impressed!!

You can tell Cedar that judging by the comments below and my opinion U have struck a Grand Slam House looks AMAZING job well done I can hardly wait to see the finished project Quite a magnificent job so far

Good Afternoon: It is incredible how one person can do all, it’s an inspiration for me, just by thinking with a good weather in Texas, there is no excuse to finish my building. Thanks you are an honest hard working person, your videos can be seen in Mexico and South America to show a lot a persons to motivate them that one person it’s all needs. GRACIAS!!

It looks beautiful. Your family will be so proud to call this house home.

Your home is looking amazing, Heath! Great job!

I love how you did the Tin!! It looks Great!!

Beautiful. Hard work really pays off!!!!

What a beautiful home. There must be such a wonderful feeling, knowing that you did this yourself.

Looks incredible amazing work as always

Your home is so beautiful it is a credit to your hard work, perfectionism and love

Luvly! Thanks! I *do* likeboard&batten: very practical and good looking.

Heath your artistic abilities cease to amaze me! that tin looks amazing with the board and batten! it's crazy how things that were not popular becomes popular several years later.

Nothing is cheap today; not even T-111. I have always liked the appearance of board and batten. Very attractive.

Another good video. I didn't think I'd like putting the tin on the lower side of the house, but I admit, it looks pretty good! Shows me how much I know.

This looks wonderful. Enjoy watching your videos

i know it doesn't matter what we like or dislike, but to be honest, i like the wood all the way down, and not the tin on the bottom. but it is your house, and everyone has different taste, so if you really like it, enjoy it

I am amazed at the work you are doing! The house is going to be beautiful 😊

The tin looks great! The picture framing of it dresses it up very nicely

Merry Christmas and a happy new year for you and your family and you need a break from the weather, we are waiting for you to start working in the house ( in the layout) and the sheet rock.

The maintainance aspect of the tin is not to be ignored. The splash back from weather and the water damage to the stained wood makes an old painter go atta boy.

You have built a beautiful home! Funny, we used wooden board and batten on our home 10 years ago because it was cheap. We are now restoring an older (rental) home and decided to use vinyl board and batten so we never have to paint. B & B has gotten to be very popular in the south. Best of luck to you as you complete your home! I love it!

Beautiful home just the way YOU want it!

Love the tin finish. Loved the wood finish as well. Would have hated the stone. Your house is beautiful 😍

It all looks great

All the best. You have done an amazing job.

Fantastic job!!👌👍

Also, the measurement on that last angled piece near the door...damn! Impressive. I would have had to dry fit and recut that thing like 50 times. You nailed it on the first take.

Vow, new level of your filmmaking! Nice to see this!

thank you for video. I love wood and enjoy your imaging work.

I like the look with the battens. Not sure about the tin trim. But you have been right all along. Can't wait to see the next faze of the build.

Great job!!! Love it!! Love it!

Stunning, beautiful House.

You really worked hard on these edits and sick angles. Maxx Chewning would be proud. 👊🏻👌🏻

Looks awesome, my husband did the board and baton in my kitchen with the tin at the bottom ,looks great with my wood cook stove.

The board and batten is perfect. I love the look. You’re doing great work, Heath! Been watching since the beginning, thanks for all the hard work with the videos! I like tin siding, was always worried about the water splashing. Nick Fouch did a nice job on his tin siding. Great touch

Love the look

The tin on the bottom looks great and you'll be glad you did it.

Looks truely amazing i love the siding.

Looks great, nice job!!!

It looks great. Well done.

Your home is looking great, your family must be proud of you and it.
