I love the dynamics of you guys' relationships! Jamie ~ the teacher, always talkin about the details until he gets cut off, Eric ~ when things get tense just laugh that goofy laugh and pretend someone else is in charge, Jono ~ the quiet OCD perfectionist, Arlo ~ the old pro and mentor, Ray ~ the glue boy/painter/Skittles king, Jason ~ "What? I didn't do it!" plus a bottomless pit of need for acknowledgement and appreciation! 🤣 And underneath it all, every last one of you is a true professional. I love this channel.

Jaime is an incredible comedian, his timing and one liners are always on point! I genuinely enjoy those!! Great work perkins crew! you guys are the DREAM TEAM!

I appreciate the fact you call the worm driver saw a Larry Haun saw. He was a artist with that saw of his 🔥

[stevenjames]

Larry Haun was a beast. I’ve watched all his videos and stil watch them.

[MrUtubeobia]

I enjoyed watching skilled craftsmen at work that like what they do, and have fun.

So glad the fireplace wall is going to get re-stained. That whitewash looks very default retail(if that makes sense). The darker will looks so much better and glad homeowners are choosing that.

[johnmarquardt]

Put the compressor in the shade -- it's getting hot. Good choice on the wood flooring.

[mindi.m]

I'm glad you went with the wood above the fireplace. The newer stain will look so much better than the white wash, and it's way better than stone.
I think we just witnessed the quickest board meeting ever. "You better buy one quick! We're gonna need it!"

[ecstaticbanana]

The 1x above the fireplace is definitely going to shrink and leave huge gaps between boards so you can see into the chimney chase- I’ve seen it happen time and time again and the shrinkage is double what you’d expect in one board typically since two determine the gap. Probably gonna be 1/4” gaps after a good heating season. Needs to either have a color matched plywood backer behind it or be shiplap/T&G.

hey guys! your local city electric supply rep, here. we have a dozens of them generac generators in stock if you need one for any upcoming houses! storm seasons coming!

[hansangb]

At the end. Good choice. I wasn't feeling that left-over-mayonnaise finish. 😂 Much better with the new finish.

[ArtByCater]

I agree with the darker stain on the mantle wall
Thanks Chuck

What a project! You have smashed this out the park !!

[glenlongstreet]

I went to a recycling place in town and got a Porter Cable pancake compressor (2018 model) for $35.
The lady who donated it didn't have a hose.
I also picked up a door for $10. With the trim, hardware, and filling in the big hole where the non-sliding slider, I still got a good deal.
I love recycling, unless it is from a contractor.

[mikemccollum]

You have a great crew. Very compatible. Thank you👍👍

[brendanwaters]

Why is it that I, an accountant from Scotland who can barely use a saw, am addicted to this series?! I look forward to each episode more than Westworld Season 4! One day, I'll maybe build a house, and I'll have a huge bank of pro tips to start with! Keep up the awesome work guys! Love from Bonnie Scotland!

[AverageDadBBQ]

Can't beat that first power up, great project milestone!

[mdswish]

Great work guys! Glad you decided to redo the fireplace. That white stain looked really terrible. Was hoping you'd go with a cherry or walnut, but matching it with the outside woodwork makes great sense though and will help tie in the outside with the interior.

[jailbreak]

September can't come soon enough, thanks guys

The Milwaukee M12 5-3/8” circular saw is the best lightweight cordless saw. Can’t recommend it enough for overhead cuts especially.
