The Best Stone Siding! Versetta Stone! 

I have been a carpenter 25+ years. I'm currently considering stone veneer on my personal house. And I'll have to say. I really like this product.

I love hearing your thoughts about how you solve challenges coming along the way! The more I see you installing this product, the more I want to try it on my own home.

Guys ... it's _great_ having the cameraman. Some of those shots while the two of you are working away are priceless - well worth the wage. So sweet - great documentation.

Kyle, throw down a layer of straw around the perimeter at the drip lines. Works great and is cheap.

I've been watching you guys since you started and it's a pleasure watching you guys work. The precision you work with is always spot on.

From seeing you guys excavate the land to where you’re at now looks truly amazing. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Great job you guys.

The teamwork and camaraderie you guys have just make the results that much better! That building is going to look great decades from now. Take that pride in your work, you deserve it!!! Thanks for bringing us along!!

Thumbs up for the Versetta Stone. Love this product. I did my garage and fireplace with this stuff. Super easy to work with!

I have hauled alot of Versetta in my truck driving career for a major building material wholesaler but never watched it installed. Thanks for the lesson

Kyle, I am living my dream shop dream vicariously through you good Sir. It looks AWESOME!!!

Great channel Kyle. I was introduced to it by a friend a couple of months ago and I've been binge watching all your playlists. Keep'em coming, because I'm gonna run out soon. And yes, I would love to see the garage door installs and gutters.

It's late (10:53 pm cst) but I'm here. Let's settle in and enjoy the next episode.

Kyle. I always appreciate your willingness to try new products .

the charcoal against the solid black metal frames of the doors, windows looks amazing.

As always great job, Gregg knowing what you need in advance is the sign of a good labourer. All these years maybe make him a partner R & R G !!.😁

Even though I've never met Greg, I feel like he's our buddy too!

The stone is really gonna set off the looks of your shop. Excellent job guys. 👍👍👍👍👍💥💯💥💯💥

Great progress made Kyle & Greg! Well done buddies! 😁👍🏼

I like it when people talk about their over sights.

love to see section drawings of the building details. Top notch builder

That is an awesome product and looks amazing. Plus it is pretty easy to install..nice work guys

Outside inground faucet that is frost or freeze proof in WA and OR we call it a frost free hydrant. Has to be set below the freezing line underground and the hydrant drains empty when the water is shut off. They are great!

The stone looks super awesome !!!

Tuesday Tuesday. Special teams, special plays, special players.

That looks amazing. Good job, Greg.

Looking good there guys. I am sure Kyle you are going to have an awesome workshop.

Excellent video, did some marathon viewing the last 2 days watching playlists catching up on videos I missed, very interesting...

That's great looking stone! Great video!

NW AR checking in. Great video as always guys. Warm weather ahead.

Looks beautiful. Job well done

For the last 3+ years I thought you were saying Rosetta Stone. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good morning happy Thursday Great weekend 👍👌👍✌️🙏🙏🙏😀

Nice job, here in the UK we generally call what you describe as the reference line a "Datum Line"

I know this comment is super late, but as a doctor I can say bending over and having your nose bleed (occasionally) is nothing to worry about, so long as the bleeding stops relatively quickly! Love the content!!!

31:06 we get to see that Paslode nailer!! Finally a alternative to the Dewalt!!!

Love your channel! Your video person does an excellent job!

I put this on a front porch. it's very easy to install..

"I'm better looking and You're.... Younger"😂

Im looking forward to moving in!

Looks awesome

lookin good fellas. Nice work

Yes be interested in guttering details video. Great series

In Norway, we adhere to a building practice where we leave an inch to one and a half inches of open space between the cladding and sheathing. This serves multiple purposes, such as allowing for water drainage in case of infiltration and aiding in keeping the wall cool when directly exposed to sunlight.

Could always do 5/4 LP trim for corners and stone up to them, would look clean. I also like the look of stone on the sides and above the access door (or front door on a house), makes it look more grand.

Looking fantastic as always guys! I wish I would of went with that stone but it was backordered and I went with Gemstone, which is actually just closed cell foam made to look like stone, it's super easy to cut and install, I'm just worried how it will look after the summer heat gets to it, will have to see at the end of the summer. The guys finished up the install of my ceiling and I've been busy installing the lights and fans. I'm hoping they will install the wall tin next Tuesday, since it's supposed to storm again. Take care and don't work too hard guys!

They need to make an outside corner trim piece somehow. That's my only hangup on the product. Plan to use the black on a build coming up so thanks for that. Wanted to see how it looks. I like it

yes on gutters. good job.

Frost-free hydrant is the term, Kyle. And Iowa is the best brand I've found.

I never tire of seeing you guys work, great content.

Your video has ben very helpful, thank you 😊 😅😂

Love the "bro" usage.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Versetta Stone should make corners, with asymmetric lengths, in a random pattern. Those would eliminate the raw edge issue ... which I find detracts significantly from the overall aesthetic.

Hey Kyle, I would recommend regular cancer screenings. Iowa is in the top states for cases due to all the contaminated ground water from the feed lots and over use of nitrogen.

Looking great. Thanks for sharing. And I would really like to see the gutter installation as well as the garage doors. If the workers are ok with being filmed please put them on.

I'm always surprised Versetta doesn't have a corner pre cast available. Seems like a big oversight in their catalog... Would love to see and hear more about the gutter install and the big garage doors coming up. I grew up with Iowa hydrants as well (actually in Iowa) but I like hydrants on the building for the utility. I put them around the corner on both sides from the front about 3 feet up (none of this bending over nonsense and kinked hoses because they're too close to the ground.)

Spray the weather shield the same colour at the stone where they’re abutted together just in case you can see the blue colour

Very nice accent for your shop, looks great, pricey touch for most prehaps, but I like it a lot. Ray

Kyle, Love watching you and Greg work. You guys are a well oiled machine and really seem to love what you do. I'm a big fan of Versetta or Evolve Stone and plan on using it on my new house I'm designing now. I know Versetta Stone has the built in water/air channel behind it, but it seems like way too small a gap. Was curious about your reasons for not using a true rainscreen, like slicker max, behind the stone. I've been told that having a min 1/4" behind the cladding, is important to get the proper air flow to dry out any water that gets behind. Some building scientists encourage 3/4" for best results.

I worked in the Chester SC plant and ran the Versetta line 2nd shift. Because of the housing market we had to shut the plant down. 😢 But its a very good product.

Absolutely love the way that stuff looks! ❤ I was wondering if you can use it with brick walls?

Nice job

The word you keep looking for is BM bench mark. They’re usually found throughout the job site. So you have your reference point

As a gc and 20 year carpenter I know a lot of builders love versetta, check out affinity stone, way faster install and imo a better product. Also check out diamond kote 5d building wrap

thats my dad rach, his favorite is hope though. but your my favorite

Damn Greg you are killing it buddy!! Kyle’s aight I guess….😂

I would love to see the doors go in as I know what they are like to do in the UK

Is Kyle the real mastermind behind the buildings or Greg? Starting to realize the real genius. 😊

Awesome work and love your tool choices. DeWalt tools suck and I don't recall seeing those on your channel and I've watched every one of your videos.

Looking great as always! For your corners, I wonder if you could cope or relieve the back of the overlapping piece. I’m thinking of those diamond blades that chuck into a grinder for cutting tile, but there could be a better tool. Like you said at 45:05 it will probably take more time and be messier, but it may yield a better product that is worth it. If you already have the tools, it’s at least worth hacking away at scrap pieces to go through the motions and test.

You could run a quick temp gutter next time. Just to protect that specific area.

With the gutters, I really hope that you’ll pipe the water away from the building with schedule 40 PVC! Don’t use any corrugated pipe because it blocks easily, gets crushed easily and is really hard to lay flat with enough fall. Make sure you have a decent number of down spouts too. I’m interested in where you’re gonna run the water.

i would paint it black the ends of the stones by the doors and the corners its easy to do

They need to make a pre cast corner piece.

"It's my pole and I'll touch it if I want". 🤣🤣🤣

Best color I've seen. Is that a newer color they came out with?

As a mason of 45 years this is what we call "lick 'em and stick 'em" . I'll bet HUGE amounts of money (if I had it) that it won't be on the wall 50 years from now. "Do it fast, do it cheap, we don't care what it looks like or how long it lasts" (after all, as a builder my liability only last 1 year)

I love the way it looks, great job. Is it real stone made of? Is watter goes in between stones, behind stone? How is that works? I'm just quires

Looks good but why you didn't ordered outer corners for perfect finish like you done before all yours projects? I am watching all yours videos and how you grow in our eyes. Thank you for all videos.

H&S offers the options of solar panels also

I saw what looked like a Paslode coil nailer in the background. Could that be the new nailer they are coming out with?

just seeing who was underground thats all, im trying to spend quality time with rach

It's called a yard hydrant AK. A frost free hydrant

Kyle can you explain the sizes and why.. Also the down spout sizing. I've asked a few pros and get the "this is what we always done" as the reason. Plse and thnx

I’m very much looking forward to your gutter installation, Kyle ! Also, is there any possibility of you guys being able to come to Georgia to build a combination shop and garage for me ? Please consider doing this as a chance to grow your popularity and see the area near the home of the Master’s golf tournament, Augusta, and Evans, Georgia !

Would cedar breather or a similar rain screen product work behind this cladding material?

You'll never see it from my house 😂 I thought Greg was going to say tag your it when he got your hat with the pole

great vid, im surprised there isnt a "paint" the product manufacturer recommends for cut ends to hide the cuts even more.

im a former gutter guy i would like see the installation. how far out does the drip edge sit from fascia board . thanks KYLE really appreciate your attention to detail.

27:32 is it the Paslode gas coil nailer? We already got them here in Australia

when he said "thank you brother" 👆

Do you like the dewalt roofing nailer? Is it prone to jamming?

Yeahhh…I’d rather actual cut stone for the veneer, rather than that cast concrete…BUT, considering the look, and the ease of installation, I understand the choice. Makes me wonder about the difference in cost though….

Awesome stuff Kyle, the stone's looking really good! 😃👍🏼👊🏼 ... If you happen to end up with a bunch of Versetta that sit a little too high, have you ever tried hitting the bottom tongue with a a grinder to knock it down a bit? .... Being that you have various brands of cordless power tools, for the rare occasion that you end up on the porch wanting to charge your phone, I know that at least DeWalt and Milwaukee (probably other brands as well) make adapters/chargers for their battery packs so you can charge your phone, laptop, or other devices, so if you don't already have some of those hanging around in the shop, you might want to consider picking up at least one or two, could come in handy in a pinch, or in an emergency, just sayin', I'm not trying to sell you on it or anything, I myself have the DCB094K USB Charging Kit from DeWalt, and it pretty much just sits in the the tool bag with my drill and impact driver, but it's there if I ever need it.

I would think nailing on stud would also help and some sort of weather barrier between joints?

Great work. Would you put tar paper behind that at all??

I've notices you guys have been rocking the badgers for a while. What happened to you diamondbacks? How do you like the badgers? Had mine (carpenter set) for about 6 months and I love it.

I’m curious of what brand tool belt you guys are using. I can’t duplicate them on the web sites Thank you

How does water drain behind this stone siding? I know with overhang roof its not a big issue but still should have rainscreen behind most of it if your going to spray it down in time.

Im curious to see how you're going to handle the drainage for that massive roof.

Can this go below grade if covered with gravel at grade and not soil?
