    I never ever watch an entire video to learn most things because most of the time the person making the video doesn’t explain things very well. This video was great. I love how you explained why things are done a certain way. Also I love how you say you don’t have a helper because you like to save money and that is the exact reason we are watching your videos to save money. Materials cost me a little under $100 to put in soffit that a company wanted to charge me close to $5k for.
  • You probably won’t see this , I just want to appreciate you for taking time to put this video, it Educational and very helpful .people like you really deserve viewers.
  • @bobkahman6001
    As so many others have noted. you have a great talent for teaching. Best how to I have ever watched.
  • @dennybrown8217
    I install shingles, fascia, soffits, siding, plus more. Your videos are extremely helpful man. Especially for the fact that you're not only teaching viewers, but you're also showing us how to do it ourselves. I commend you for that bro. One of us on the job at some point or another has had to wait on help so they could get things to line up or whatever the case is. No more waiting
  • Thank You for your videos, building my last house in my 70’s they’re helping financially.
  • @colebennett4405
    I produce video content for a living, am working on getting more handy around the house, and have taught part time at our local college. This may be one of the best how-to videos I’ve seen. You have an obvious dedication to teaching! Great quality stuff.
  • @fat70girl
    Gather up all of your videos and make them available as a compendium set. These are the most complete construction video I have had the opportunity to watch to learn from. I needed these 30 years ago when exposing how detail work was a secretive endeavor. Thank for your time and effort to make it look easy.
  • @user-ve8dk5kf7d
    I was taught to level back, then drop 1/2" then snap your line. That way you can line up to the bottom of the F channel. It's been over 20 years since I've done this kind of work. I enjoy watching your channel.
  • Got an estimate to do siding and was close to the $20000 range . Pretty handy guy and always looking to try something new , and as you said in video “ save a few bucks “! My only worries was the soffit work which I learned would have to do 1st . Your video blew my mind how easy you made it look and more importantly the confidence to take it on myself . You literally answered every question I had trying to figure out how it’s done .Will hold off on siding till weather warms up but will def jump on the soffit work Thanks for the awesome video , keep them coming . Will give update !
  • Man just another solid how to do it right video. Step by step. Great content presented perfectly. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.
  • You give great tips and angles on success. Renovating a 130 yo farm house and the advise and expertise you give has helped solve many "repair" issues. Love your videos.
  • Very well done video, with wonderful explanations along the way. Your camera work was great as it provided excellent points of view of the work being done. I'm retired and would love to build a small cabin on a few acres (peace of mind). I learned a lot!! Thank you

    Great pacing and detailed video. I have a flock of birds living in my soffits who'll be receiving an eviction notice soon.
