In Episode 35, we're heading back behind the scenes of the MEGA Modern Build P116, diving into another round of fan questions, jobsite insights, and unexpected tool talk — including a little side quest into... table saws? Yep, it gets real.

Jaime Perkins is tackling your latest questions about the build, from framing choices to tool preferences, workflow quirks, and the not-so-glamorous stuff no one ever talks about. And somehow, we end up deep in a rabbit hole about the pros and cons of table saws on a fast-paced jobsite.

In this episode:

🏠 Smart decisions (and second guesses) from the MEGA build

🧰 Why the tool you don’t think you need might actually be essential

🪚 Jaime’s evolving thoughts on table saws, mobility, and jobsite efficiency

💬 Honest answers to your YouTube comments and podcast DMs

This is one of those "pull up a chair in the shop" episodes — loose, honest, and packed with practical stuff for builders, DIYers, and anyone who’s followed the journey from slab to structure.

Jaime Perkins is facing a decision a lot of us have wrestled with:

Should he build a garage or a carport for his next home project?

In this episode, Jaime fires up SketchUp and talks through all the things he’s considering — from long-term use to build difficulty, costs, layout, site logistics, and so much more! Who knew that there could be so many things to think about?

It’s a behind-the-scenes look at a real builder’s thought process, where he weighs:

🚗 Pros & cons of carports vs garages

📐 Site planning challenges

💸 Time, budget & labor trade-offs

🧠 How SketchUp helps visualize the decision before breaking ground

If you’ve ever debated between building a carport or a garage — or just want to see how a professional custom home builder breaks down design choices in real time — this is for you.

👉 What would YOU choose — garage or carport? Let us know in the comments!

In Episode 33 of The Let Jaime Talk Podcast we are diving in to p112 of the Perkins Builder Brothers MEGA Modern Home project and going Beyond The Build, we're back with another Q&A session — but with a twist (and some shavings on the floor).

Jaime Perkins dives into your latest fan questions, covering everything from project planning to tool regrets — and yes, we get into hand planes...again: which ones Jaime really loves, and why they’re still relevant on today’s job sites.

This episode is part builder insight, part tool geek-out, and all-around classic Let Jaime Talk — with real stories, a few tangents, and tips that can actually help you on your next build.

In this episode:

📐 Answers to fan-submitted questions about recent builds

🪚 The hand planes Jaime swears by

🧰 Why old-school tools still matter — even on modern projects

📦 A few job site stories you probably weren’t expecting

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just someone who loves the sound of a sharp plane shaving wood, this one’s got something for you.

In this episode of Let Jaime Talk, we’re circling back to Episode 108 of the Perkins Builder Brothers Mega Modern Build series — specifically, that massive decking job that's got everyone talking.

Jaime Perkins breaks down what really went down behind the scenes during the installation, what worked, what almost didn’t, and why having a planer in your tool arsenal isn’t just helpful — it’s basically required.

But that’s not all…

We’re also answering fan questions that came straight from the YouTube comments and DMs!

This episode blends deep dive construction talk, tool wisdom, and the usual off-the-rails Jaime commentary that makes every episode feel like a shop hangout.

Whether you’re building a deck this season or just love a good “why we did it that way” breakdown — you’re gonna love this one.
