well welcome back Steve Rob reviews today I'm going to show you the last part of my
garden shed build which is the soffit and the fascia on my garden shed built there's a long
series it's finally over but I'm going to just show you a quick demonstration here on how to
cut vinyl siding how I cut it and this is it you see how dirty this grinder is guys this is what
I've been using for years and years and years professionals do not use this well you wouldn't
be watching this if you are a professional right I use this because I have it I find its easiest I
don't like this idea of putting in a circular saw blade and backwards and all this kind of stuff and
knives just don't do it for me if they work for you fine any other power tool doesn't work for
me this is the only tool that works for me it's fast it's accurate enough for what you need to
do when you're building something like this I'll take you out in a second and I'll show you the
building it's all finished and demonstrate this for you first and just show you how effective this
can be now of course you gotta have some hearing protection should wear some gloves and it does get
a little bit dusty but you know what if you're using any other power tool like a circular saw
yeah you're going to get chips flying all over the place too so let's take a look at this and
I'll show you a quick demonstration on how you cut a piece of vinyl siding or soffit or fascia
or just the trim pieces I used to for all the pieces - there's not a piece I didn't use this
tool on so let's take a look well I hope you can see the line on there and this is what I
use for my square and I always cut this piece first work my way down so let's take a look
well what do you think that's pretty easy for me and that's the cut you get guys this is no problem
doing this I've been cutting a lot of this stuff guys this is the way to go if you want to cut the
siding this is what you need right here and this is a thin cut disc and one of these and that's all
you need to cut it with now a professional does not use this I don't know what the professionals
use they probably have a real nice fancy setup so you could do multiple cuts because they don't want
to be all day doing this but it did not take me long to cut this I measure a whole 12-foot
section out and put all the lines on there for all my cuts and I just put that thin cut blade
right down the center of each one for each end of the building I'm gonna show you here yeah it took
me roughly five minutes to cut a 12-foot section so I mean how much time you need when you're a
hobbyist like I am and when you're building you know with the vinyl siding when you got the Jay
trim on one side and then you got your rough your fascia coming down and it covers the other side
too you don't have to worry about being exactly on the cuts because yeah it hides a lot so let's
take a look at the rest air and see what you think well that's it all there she's all done and I'll
just take you a little walk around I built this little platform I had pieces of wood left over and
I built this little platform to walk in I have to do some landscaping around here and just get back
here and I'll show you so you get it in sections that are solid and then when you get over here
you're going to have sections that are vented and that's for ventilation so I use 12 feet of
venting around the whole place so that's pretty well it there and if you can see rade up in there
on all the corners I didn't know what you're supposed to put in there or screw or whatever
so I put a rivet just to hold that that bottom in there and it seems to be okay so there you
go there that's easy enough and on the corners I just used the five quarter board the same as
I got going all around the door and the base and of course if you've got a six inch board which is
actually five and a half inches you rip it from here to here three and a corridor on Center on
your blade so you'll have the same distance from here over to here because if you rip it right in
the center well no it's not gonna get the same so that's pretty well lit there and I think it
turned out great I mean I'm no professional guys but you know what it was easy to work with very
easy you know and that's pretty well it I would say took me tops three hours to do all this you
know all the vinyl cutting and everything and it's a nice little afternoons project so that's pretty
well lit there and you can see I went with the the venting all the way around and that's pretty
wallet so you want to take a look inside I'll show you what I got going on in there turn on
it well here we are raid here first thing you notice I can put a couple of cabinets in there
I took another my other steel shutter ad and this is just some of my stuff and I made this one here
taller so I could put my saw in there and this is Makita chain saw a couple of stills I got one up
north and yeah this is pretty well it i'm shaoling are very easy to make and of course that's where I
got the weed whacker and up on here guys if you have one of these pole saws still it leaks all
the time so I try to empty all the oil out it can in between uses but it will leakin so I put
a little bit of a container there just to hold it all there's an extension to it and there's my big
brush cutter that's the Beast and these are all my automotive tools a lot of my automotive stuff
I've taken it out of the out of the garage and here's some more stuff down in here guys
I got her packed with all kinds of stuff just in case now I got them two gas cans there I'm gonna
make a little building for them gas cans good I want to leave them gas cans in here one thing I
like about this shed you know what it doesn't get hot not like not like a steel shed does well what
do you think guys that was a nice easy project I I did ask the wife how much time to figure I was
spending on that and it worked out to eight days roughly six seven hours a day so it was a nice
easy project and I took it in stages like building the base first and in the walls and you know and
then the roof and then putting the siding on and then painting it and then doing the trim so yeah
it took about seven eight days tops well worth it and fuse that are interested cost twenty two
hundred and sixty dollars to build that so I kept all the receipts and of course I can't include my
gas going back and forth I went to Home Depot a lot so you know getting supplies and that
kind of stuff but it was a good project and if you like I'll put a link down to the first one
so you can start off at the beginning if you'd like to see it from the beginning and it was a
hot project like it was hot you know quite a few days and it spanned over two years so I mean last
year I just built the base and then continued this year and I quite enjoyed it and I believe
every one you could build the same thing yourself you know a lot of people just lack the confidence
and doing it and you don't really need all the tools that I had you know the pneumatic nailer
and that kind of stuff people been building these kind of things with just a handsaw you know and a
hammer and nails and that's all you really need gonna take you a lot longer but you can get her
done just like I did so thanks for joining me there I hope you've enjoyed this little bit of
a series come back again you haven't seen this channel before well you're welcome to subscribe
and I'm gonna have some more projects coming up in the future to see yous guys stay tuned cheers now
