I typically lay out my siding before I even put windows in that way I can chalk from corner to corner and everything lines up perfect

Great video… Storey pole, chalk lines, reference marks, marking studs, priming cut ends and more👌🏻👍 I really appreciated the fall protection effort on the gables 👌🏻

In my experience using tajima chalk boxes they last over a year with me. You have to use the tajima dye to make them somewhat waterproof. This past winter I used mine snapping floors with floating water and my tajima box is still good. I don’t even dry them out.

I had a bad experience with a local builder. He just freaks out and insults me tells me that everything im doing is crap and just leaves for the weekend..come Monday he just ghosts me on payment...two weeks ago now...i need to get things in place to protect my business but i just started so thats gonna take some time. Also my work was spot on drywall finshing...he just wanted to jip me it seems. All the joints were flat checked with a 32 inch straight edge and all the corners were perfect...im just ipset about it cuz i really need the money. Makes me want to go back to making money for other guys and that really sucks when you do all the work...great video guys

I have a cabin in the north west and went I put an addition on it I used smart side, because in terms of spec it was no different than hardy board. I chose LP Smart side because it is just so much safer to work with. I did not want to buy a lot of expensive tools just to cut it safely, all I needed was skill saw.
