What happens here

Using a circular saw, fiber cement siding panels are cut to the appropriate lengths. The panels are then installed horizontally onto the exterior walls, overlapping each other slightly to create a lap siding effect. A pneumatic nail gun is used to fasten the siding panels to the wall studs. The presenter works systematically from bottom to top, ensuring each panel is level and securely attached. Trim pieces are cut and installed around the door opening using a pneumatic nail gun and caulk is applied to seal joints and nail holes. The entire exterior is then painted with a dark, moody color (Behr Premium Plus 'Dark Secret').

Goal: Fiber cement siding panels are cut to size and installed horizontally on the exterior walls using a pneumatic nail gun, creating a durable and visually appealing finish.

this thing with sighting [Music] all right so we're moving to the front it's looking really exciting there's going to be a little bit of a difference how we installed the siding around the door trim here we're going to install the trim first and then butt up the siding towards it because we don't want to create this kicked up layer on the edge that you could see you could do that around the windows but you can't do that around the door so uh catch yourself before you wreck yourself all right this side looks good this side's not the greatest but a little bit of caul but also I think I'm going to find another little transition piece to kind of cover that up but we are finally got all wrapped up it's turnar to look like something that's more than a shed we got to throw the sofits on so I got siding material different pattern we're going to nail it underneath with Brad Nails not nailers uh so that it can be concealed more and the nice thing is I put these blockings on the side to make it life a little bit easier once we get there all right so we had a massive change of design plans as you can see I ripped out my sofit here um I wanted to have more Dimension more character more texture so what we're going to do is we're going to put actually tongue group cedar boards underneath there to give it natural tones and then paint this a really dark Moody color and I think that will make me really happy so what we're going to do is slap on our Corners here we're going to fill in all of our caul we're going to paint it and then after this painted oh also throw the fascia on paint it and then we'll be able to put the tongue and groove in without having to worry about masking it off because tap doesn't stick to regular natural wood all too well so that's going to look awesome [Music] we are ready we are ready for paint got everything cocked up exterior caul uh we're going to shoot some crazy color here this is uh from Home Depot uh it's the bear selection it's called Dark Secret uh it's the dynasty I guess the I don't know the model but the color is called Dark Secret it's black but it's got like almost a matte bluish tint to it very lightly I don't know I it it to me it just looks like it's matte black I'm not good with these kind of colors but I think it's going to look so killer with a nice Cedar accent to it and it's going to be the nice dark Moody color we're looking for and I specifically asked them to make it a matte color not a satin I know exterior you want to do…
