My favorite content on KZread. I have learned so much from watching you guys!

Loved the splinter!!! My wife heard me laughing and asked if I was watching another Perkins video, the joy of your job site makes me smile.

Arlo and johno are the truth they do so much work and are not recognized but as carpenters see that and how valuable they are to your company so great just love you guys and y’all work together one big A team

Stuck inside with a broken collarbone. Nothing like watching the Perkins crew. Makes my week much better

Good luck with the recovery!

A photo of Ray’s Laser-eye should definitely go on a shirt! That’s a timeless look!

Good carpenters crown their studs. Great carpenters make sure all their studs stand the same way the tree did.

Every video is awesome. KZread should recommend to everyone

Those metal fingers are pretty dope

Great roof framing tips. Gosh, it must be nice to have man power. In the old days, workers were scare that knew how to frame, and most of the time you were pulling 2x12 rafter up yourself, ouch, back attack. You brothers have paid your dues building with your Dad, and now can enjoy the reputation, and money that goes into building in custom locations. Hat off to you.

Arlo is the man! He so casually comes up with the proper cuts.

We take it for granted… But having a cut man like Arlo makes EVERYTHING easier

Jaime need his own channel tooo in addition to everything else you all make happen. INCREDIBLE

Moving right along!

I am just here for Arlo. Its feeling like nostalgia.

Thumbs up! It counts twice! 👍

Respect to my man working w/ T1. It’s a serious struggle not many people understand.

What a cohesive group supportive Bleep Boop

Jaime, you were absolutely correct about the Japanese tree orientation. They also place them on the same side of the structure to correlate with the side of the mountain that the tree grew on. South side of the mountain = south side of the structure.

So good to hear Jamie back again! I love his stories!! He needs to be a teacher!! Eric and Jamie would make great teacher’s. You guy’s stay hydrated it’s been really hot lately! Can’t wait for the next video. Thanks for sharing with us!! Ray and Jay well they need to get Ray’s house finished and put out more and longer video’s so get on to them Eric and Jamie. Stay safe!! Ray and Jay are awesome as well!!

You guys are quite entertaining. All good. Every job needs to have this kind of humor with the crew.

Good to see some guys working, having fun, cracking jokes, and doing a great job as well.

l can watch all day.you are a very good team.

I've watched many building videos, but yours are the ones I learn the most from. thanks.

Here in Germany🇩🇪 diese this type of construction is inconceivable. Every garden shed is better built. Any structural engineer would describe the entire structure as defects. Personally, however, I like this design

You know you've been watching the channel a while now when you remember the "tree the right way up Japanese construction yadda yadda..." lol

Oh shit! Glad to see it's built. I heard about this before I left Cherokee back at the beginning of 2020. Or something lije this from the Nantahala on Bryson City. I grew up in New Mexico, and moved back a week before lockdowns. Bummed. I'll be back in January. This will be one of the 1st places I visit.

It actually is legit. Japanese carpenters do it. Also, dropping the post will probably help it stay straighter over time. This can be done to stabilize wood when building furniture, table lees, etc… why not an 8X8?

I'm interested in Jamie's new hand it looks awesome being a wood working guy myself missing fingers it would be awesome for a video for us guys

Great videos guys. I went to school at Southwestern Community in Sylva. Love that area and the whole western side of NC. Grew up a masons tender and have done carpentry and electrical work as well. Have always enjoyed construction! But I really love watching REAL pros like you guys build complex projects like this!!! This is awesome!!! I just sit here and watch video after video after video. 😂

Great video guys.

Hello from Baghdad guys, great work, I watched All the of episodes

If you know a sheet metal guy he can sheer you off 1" strips of metal for stirrup straps on the ridge. The stirrup goes over the ridge and you screw into the undersie of your rafter. Metal loves tension and they will put all the pull at the top onto the ridge beam. Gravity also forces the stirrup to pull in at the bottom of your rafter strap, but also allows you to move the bottom of your rafters in or out until you hurricane strap them in at the bottoms. 22 gauge is plenty of strong straps for the stirrup. Your rafter will snap before the stirrup even reaches a quarter of its load capacity on a 15' long rafter.

Looking good.

I don't know what I'll do when the playlist ends. I've watched all of them 😢😢😢

Jamie and Eric, you guys rock!!! Watching your videos brings back good memories working with you guys. Now you guys are famous and I am just a washed up old guy. Carry on.

Exclusive materials? These guys are changing the game

I put 3 ply 20’-3” 16” deep lvls up by myself with staging 15’ in the air. And used 16’ 2x10 for rafters. By myself

Great site. Looks fun

I know 0 about building, yet I've watched every episode. I love these videos

I've done my share of framing...and I'd have loved being on your crew. Lots of smiles.

Jamie handsdown has the best personality on the channel. In fact everybody is unique in their own way. I think they deserve their own HGTV show. To the Young folks, make a petition or something to have them on HGTV. Tag them on Twitter. Make it happen

Thanks for all of your work not only building this home and talking about the why's, etc., but also for the excellent editing of these videos! That's my comment for the algorithm!

Great video....the scenery reminds me so much of Beech Mountain

Man its good to see ur brother back building homes and helping u

HELMETS pleaseeeee!!! We don't want any of you guys to get hurt!!!! You all are gem!!

At the end of each video, u always thank us for ''BUILDING WITH YOU''! No, THANK YOU!!!!!!!! FOR LETTING US BE PART OF YOUR CREW!!!

Amazing Work

Like your work guys. Got some good pointers watching your video. Reminded me of when I was 1st starting out as a carpenter back in the early 70's when all our roofs were cut n stack. Humping all that lumber , 2x10 and 2x12 by hand. Makes you into pretty good shape for sure. Now that I am older, the young guys get to do the grunt work. All fun still.

Great video and nice work.

It’s good the homeowners will have an “epical” view!

I'm loving how this house is looking. I like the style

Watching you guys again after a long break (been busy) is just so nice. It's great to see everyone doing well; new bionics, new belts, and a cool new build. Keep it rolling boys. It's always a pleasure. And that bit about the post being the "right way up"? Yeah, he isn't wrong. See, end grain not only wicks water but also draws it up through capillary action. If you were building a post and beam in an old-school style with posts landing directly upon stone, wicking and drawing moisture is something that you would do well to avoid, right? So you flip your posts.

Great job guys.

This is some fine carpentry u guys are doing I’ve done a few new construction and additions but doesn’t come close your guys is work great job guys keep up the good work ! Also learning a lot of new tricks from you guys
