The Secret service jokes are hilarious! It’s crazy seeing such a talented carpenter doing siding repairs… this economy is hitting hard

[jimhutchins]

I have never laughed so hard at your secret service joke. That was some funny sh__. What a hoot!

[kookiethebear]

Use galvanized siding fasteners (similar to roofing nails) vs finish nails and blind nailing works great, that's why it's recommended by the concrete and wood siding manufacturers. Adding visible nails in the field creates more work and additional risk of long-term water damage.

@00:20 DEAR GOD... NOT A SLOPED ROOF. Richard, you're putting your life on the line for this video. Is it worth it? 😅. Welcome back. We missed ya.

My two cents-I've done a ton of siding repairs over the past few years. A metal-cutting blade on a recip saw works great for cutting away remaining nails hidden by the course above (if the siding was nailed right over Tyvek, be careful not to damage it) . Prime the cut ends of the replacement pieces of siding. Use the right nails (ring-shank stainless siding nails).

Man I haven’t laughed that hard in a while

I can’t believe you are using a trim gun to hold siding on. #5 stainless steel 2” ring nails are the one and only choice.
