We are doing a project full house me and wife work together over 13 year come across your video i love how you guys take pride and time to do it right thank you both blessings 🙌
Nice job. I like how you went through each fastening method. I could see maybe using the crown staples, but definitely on the top only. I hate that you need to face nail any of this. I bought a $400 siding nailer and $80 box of nails today as I tackle my project tomorrow. All else fails, ill use splitless 3" siding nails. Great job again
Always learn something from you Danny, because you have great attention to detail and take the time to explain everything you do. Congrats, on the first wall, it looks absolutely beautiful.
What great job! It is a lovely cabin. I'm blessed too with a husband who knows how to get things done and if he doesn't know he'll figure it out. You have to be able to do things yourselves and you make a great team!. God bless you, enjoy a job well done💞👼🙏💖😍
DAMN, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. GREAT JOB, GREAT TEAM‼️👍👍 Sealing the wood up is great technique. Siding will last forever. LOVE IT‼️‼️‼️👍👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
The cabin is so beautiful Wanda and Danny. I am really enjoying watching the construction. It makes me want one so bad. Maybe one day. God bless you all. 🌻🌼💐
Thanks I just needed to see the finish product I'm gonna build my first house and put log cabin siding on it outside and inside and ceilings bead board
Looks really good. Out here on the west coast I had technical training class held in Atlanta. Got off the plane to catch Marta Train into Peach tree check into my hotel. I was amazed how thick the air felt. The first day of class I was wiped out cause could not sleep very. Body had to adjust to the high humidity. The second day was much better. My son lives in New Orleans and he said it is always hot and always humid. I guess you get use to it with time. I sure like the siding you putting up looks real good. I got a old mobile home up in Oregon doing something like except using recycled old fence pickets running them board and batten style all across that old thin metal siding. Looks pretty neat and adds a value of insulation factor while I am at it. So bonus. I get the wood for free and have collected from 7 different family yards. So of the cedar boards are really thick milled and even got some square nails out of them. Reckon they are fairly old enough.
Looking good guys . Thanks for the tips Danny . It may take longer to put up the siding but now you don't have to go back and seal the whole thing another time and everything is sealed . Not just the face of the siding .
I'm working on rehabbing a cabin built in the 1930's It has log siding that is mitered at the corners. I'm replacing the bottom pieces in the back. I think I'm going to cut the corners back and use 2x8 lumber for the corners. The new siding is not quite the same profile as the old stuff so I think this will work better. I like your videos! Thanks!
Love the half logs siding. I know it's been five years since this video was made, but where did you get the materials? I've looked on box stores and they don't stock any of it. I also looked in the comments and didn't see a reference to the supplier you used. Thanks, and God bless.
I love that you are explaining this so well! I love the siding I wanted that on my house but couldn't get it so maybe in the future. I have to agree to the extra work and sealant. It wouldn't be fun to replace that.
Where did you buy the log siding from? We are rebuilding my grandfathers cabin and I would love to use this product. Great job!!! Keep up the great work!
Beautiful work I love the look. Merry Christmas to both of you. And may God bless you both over the holidays and keep you in safe health. Sending love from Australia ❤️
Oh wow that looks awesome guys. Luv the darker trim. What are you doing with the knots that are on the upper side of your siding. Are you going to fill them or jus paint the sealer over them.
Gracious but the two of you make a GREAT team. And, that's a good idea having the box fan giving you some relief as you work on your BEAUTIFUL siding! I wonder if you have a body of water aside from a tub, to jump into after such a work'y day? You sure deserve it! : )
This is gong to be dumb but could the siding boards be used to cap the front side of the support post on the porch and railing support post on the steps? I think it would look nice.
Love the historic look of the cabin. Does the support wood posts on the front porch area room make for easy termite access ? Would stone or block supports have been better?
Great job team Danny/Wanda. I was looking in to building a log cabin saw the kit prices and decided that was probably out of my price range. Especially as the lower price kits look to machined. So I thought I will frame it conventionally then just use log siding. And here it is just ran into your video by accident. You have confirmed my thoughts. Very nice work I love the idea of nailing low on the board I probably would not have thought of that. Thank you for sharing that, great tip. Glad to add you to my Subscriptions! If you are able to respond, I might ask where did you buy the siding and what was the cost? Merry Christmas!
The newest comment I read below is 1 year, so I hope you're still monitoring this for questions. First off - great video, it is much different than most but makes common sense. My question pertains to the nailing application. One nail into each stud below the round of each board. As you're nailing up (maybe 10 degrees) how do you prevent the board from creeping up off the lip below? Did you put a nail at the top of each board to hold it into place prior to nailing it fast? Thank you kindly.
Help me out here - how could the grain be going in the wrong direction? These pieces are all cut from the outer circumference of the log are they not??
Love it! Looks really nice. A lot of great tips in this video. We will also be installing log siding on our upper gables in the future, for the first time ever. So I'm definitely saving this. I wonder if those nails can be use in a nail gun? I can almost guarantee I would leave hammer marks. Ha! Thanks for sharing! - Jessica
@@DeepSouthHomestead That's what I was thinking. I'm just not as precise with a hammer. I would be asking for trouble. Haha! I need to practice on something less important. Thanks again!
I am looking for the clips. Danny worked on the porch while I was canning. I think I got some pictures not sure if we got video. Danny doesn't video while he works. LOL
Great video thank you! I watched others, most say to nail the top down also, but my inclination is a bit confused right now, because it makes sense that nailing downward would invite water- then again, if it is sealed, then why are you concerned about the water? Couldn't you put a small dab of clear caulking on top of each top nail to add extra insurance? If the boards swell or shrink in extreme climate change areas, then is it or is it not advised to use the top nails? I'm a first time installer, so your opinion is highly valued. In Northeast Ohio we get extreme weather every season..... thanks again
The manufacturer recommended for us to nail from the bottom up. Over time the lumber will allow water to get in around the nails. Putting clear caulking over the nails will prevent the sealer from penetrating the wood.
