https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/e7a16643-fe80-41b3-8a5f-11a3082364b7 Welcome back to our project series, where we explore different installation methods for LP SmartSide lap siding. In this video, we're taking a closer look at the vertical installation technique, creating a unique board on board design that adds a touch of elegance to your exterior. LP SmartSide 7 7/8 siding takes center stage in this tutorial, as we demonstrate how to install it vertically, step by step. We discuss the benefits of using the Benjamin Obdyke Slicker Classic drainage mat, which facilitates airflow and drainage between the siding and the wall. This isn't just about aesthetics – we delve into the reasons behind our choices. While we may not dive into the intricate details of building science (leave that to the experts we've linked below), we do show you practical tips for achieving a seamless installation. From utilizing spacers to ensuring proper nailing schedules, we cover the essentials for a successful project. As always, safety is key, and we demonstrate ladder work techniques that make this process manageable for a single installer. Our approach involves maintaining a consistent gap off the wall and using a combination of measurements and spacers for accuracy. Join us as we install LP SmartSide vertically, showcasing the board on board design that's both visually appealing and functional.

Thanks for watching! Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course https://sso.teachable.com/secure/245841/checkout/1320802/bundle-remote-pilot-plus-maneuvers?coupon_code=FRAMERS100&affcode=245841_0eauthdo I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel. Some of the links below are affiliate links.
