How to Install SmartSide Lap Siding

Let's install some siding.  We are big fans of LP SmartSide and have used it for many years.  A big advantage to Zip System is that we don't need to install a WRB.  So in this video, I can jump straight to layout for the sides and rear of the house.  Layout for lap siding is very easy and there is no need for a laser to establish control points on this house.  

We prefab our window trim when we can, but we don't use time consuming techniques like pocket screws or biscuits.  Instead we use a corrugated fastener tool.  Square cuts are preferred with LP SmartSide and these joints are nice and strong, but the taller and wider your trim, the more likely you need a second pair of hands to help carry it.  

Thanks for watching.

Please remember, I’m not showing the best way of doing something, just what works well for us.

Oh 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/2458... 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.
