Thank you for the tip on screwing the J channel in from the bottom. I was going to cut 200ft of wood strips to nail them to. I didn't want to buy F channel since I already have hundreds of J channel pieces I got for free. you can tell that you really do this for a living, and are not just a company rep making a product video.

Thanks Mr. Shannon, your awesome videos helped so much and saved me piles of cash and time. Checking the fascia for square is a HUGELY important tip, otherwise it'll get crooked and then you've got problems. I love how you do the corners too! A tip on house wrap I didn't realize until after - line up the marks on it with studs! It will make siding installation much easier. Also in my experience, get help installing the fascia - it flexes vertically incredibly easily and the upper edge can get caught on anything sticking out on your fascia board. Then if you don't see it and put screws in, it bends and looks crummy.

@A_Litre_of_Farva 3 жыл бұрын

If you do measure ahead and find one length will work, stack a few sheets of soffit together, clamp the edges with vice grips so they stay lined up, and cut through them all at once with a thin cutoff wheel on your grinder. Saves oodles of time on a big job. The Skill saw with blade backwards trick works too but it sends metal shards everywhere and will often bend corners as Shannon mentioned. AWESOME video as always!

@rekostarr7149 2 жыл бұрын

can I just use a normal trigger clamp or two? also wouldn't the vise-grip leave some dents in one of the soffits a bit?

I wish I had hidden my cameras under my soffit. Since they are 4K cameras and standard size, people think my house is a security compound. But at least they are easy to access if I need to and I can also redirect them. I don't think I could get any with optical zoom, or with much maneuverability, that are in a dome or smaller format.

Steven Darden This is nowhere near a correct way of doing this. I don't have time to write up all the reasons you should not follow this video, but a glimpse at the other comments should tell you some basics. My contribution is to warn you not to follow this. You're probably better off googling and reading about it rather than watching videos. And really that would be my advice: do what this guy has never done and research different techniques and you'll figure out why people do things differently. That goes for anything you want to do well. You are never going to do a good job at anything following the first random guy teaching you on the internet. Shop around.

Thanks, great info here. I got my first home recently and it isn't built this way. The overhang has plywood where you put the soffit stuff and then they put soffits over the plywood and cut like 4 1x1ft holes on the entire house. From what I've been watching &reading I basically need to take off the soffit and put way more holes in the wood. Yours is entirely open which is definitely way more air flow.

Shannon, great job! but it would have been nice to have seen the J-Channel being installed.

All KZfaq demonstrators never seem to manage to have any difficult jobs they are willing to show a person how to do, or show anything out of the obvious simple projects. Please don't be offended. It is meant as constructive criticism. Been over 40 years since I have done any of this and a lot has changed. Now I am trying to build my daughter a house and learning from you.

@michaelleonard5143 5 жыл бұрын

Are they a galvanized screw? Did you paint them white to hide them when finished?

@BadAssDude69 3 жыл бұрын

By flat head, I assume you mean slotted, correct - as in, you could use a flat-head screwdriver to drive in the screw? Or do you mean that the head is actually flat rather than pan head or round? I assume you wouldn't use a flat head screw because those are usually used with wood because they taper to the shank of the screw which would dimple the surface of aluminum - please correct me if I am wrong. Also, what material of screw do you recommend? It seemed that yours were painted.
