" Riley made some progress there ain't got no recourse in place -- birthdays in -- let's talk first about window trim we've got a couple of windows here. And what you like to do in most New England carpenters like to do -- add a strip of felt right. We'll put it behind the spline behind for him right you see up above the window that has just been installed would have been trimmed by. Doesn't have -- on there yet. And then this one has been trimmed out with one by six -- and you put in this one which is about ten inches across just -- from the why do you do that."
" The reason for that is where the shingle meet the trend is going to get. Shrinkage in here and any in the event any moisture gets in there it'll hit that line run down. And come out on the shingle in the -- down in here as well yeah that's especially problem we have. Severe winter wind driven rain and that sort of stuff that's right yeah. Now we are using. Red cedar shingles. Really the best of the best friend Kathy what you're gonna ask you very -- and that factions he rebounded re squared. And -- that means exactly one right it means exactly and what it sounds like they've taken them but in in redone and so that they really nice and smooth and straight yet -- the sides that -- squares and go and do these cost a lot more money and -- quite cedar shingles right cedars. Yes -- he deserves an eighty dollars a square partly because their about a 130 dollars so. This has a lot of advantages though it'll take paint really nicely that's why we're using it as an Independent accident but -- solid -- stain on it. And the exposures different right. That's correct this is going to be that says seven and a half to eight inches. From here here's. -- work which means we're using. -- shingles are about pergola. But we did use a story pole saw that we can you show me go around that. The -- only hit back harness this battle lines will be nice and straight and everything will be. --"
" That has all the information terms of windows where -- in the window. Dimensions wall. Right and you can in you can approximate so that you don't have any short it's shingles underneath the window for example that's what Islam that's right -- negative and now we're already knew -- take that strap in Iraq and then raise it to the next. All right and you've got a chalk line here that it's natural line K. OK -- like this method right you can just load them up. We're throwing -- the he had leave this thing up there and then we're gonna use it -- our advantage. So that. We set them all in place and what's one of the cardinal rules in terms of overlap here. Nor any of the jurors who. Be within an inch and a half of it. You have at least an inch an apple Vila yeah and you never want tempted to be one on top of the other. But these are absolutely. Perfection. Meaning Ellis good. And yet. Now we do here is overlap this last one which is brought one over the one on the right and then. Cut the -- on the right out. But by using the chalk line. And the guide on the bottom. We put all of them in place in the chocolate is holding him. Against the sidewalk. And we need to start nailing. So how are there any cardinal rules about nailing what kind of nails to use and how many."
" But he is is a five penny galvanized Fox -- out. It's gonna put. But when nail on either side of the Chicago. -- more than that a lot of split it."
" All right now mover straight up now that's. And you want the chalk line this -- can hardly see it. Well we definitely want to -- which you don't want to do is load this thing up with trochmann you have chalk all over the shingles and and everywhere I would just need just enough so we have so that we can. All of -- rated -- Right now we do it all over again. -- looks good at this chalk line of course is not level we're just using it. To our advantage -- hold them in place right. Ago."
