In this episode, we're going beyond the job site and straight into the comment section — answering your best (and boldest) questions about the MEGA Modern Home P110 episode from the Perkins Builder Brothers Channel.

From design decisions to tool choices, layout tweaks to “why the heck did you do it that way?” — nothing is off-limits. Jaime and Brett are diving deep into the details you asked about, with behind-the-scenes insight you didn’t see on the main build video.

We cover:

🏗️ Smart (and not-so-smart) choices during construction

🔨 Lessons learned the hard way

📐 Fan questions about layout, finishes, and framing

🛠️ Tools and techniques that made the biggest difference

💬 Fun behind-the-scenes stories that didn’t make the cut

Whether you're following the MEGA Modern Home project from day one or just tuning in, this is a great chance to hear the why behind the build — straight from the builders themselves.

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.

In part two, we trade the hammer for a banjo. Jaime and Max dive into Max’s other world as a musician with Upstream Rebellion, a bluegrass band making waves with their high-energy sound. We will find out how Max's passion for playing music came about, and all that he has gone through to be where he is today.

Max shares how playing the banjo connects with his life in construction, how performing keeps him sharp and creative, and why balancing music with building brings out the best of both.

Stay tuned—part two is all about the music, the band, and the rhythm that ties it all together.

Towards the end of this episode we will hit on questions from our Patreon fans specifically for Max!

From intern to full-time crew member, Max Rogers shares his journey with the Perkins Builder Brothers. Hear how he chose custom homes over commercial building and what it means to join the crew for real.

_________________

In this episode of Let Jaime Talk, Jaime welcomes Max Rogers, the newest full-time member of the Perkins Builder Brothers crew.

Max’s story is one of following passion over convention. After graduating with a Construction Management degree, he had the option to pursue a commercial building career. Instead, he chose the custom home route, where craftsmanship, creativity, and personal connection define the work.

Jaime and Max talk about how his early internship with the Builder Brothers sparked an interest that turned into a full-time role on the crew. They dive into what it’s like to transition from the classroom to the jobsite, the lessons learned building alongside a tight-knit team, and why custom homes felt like the right fit for his future.

This episode is a window into the mindset of a builder starting his career, balancing education with hands-on experience, and choosing a path rooted in craft and community.

When you’re building a custom home, some materials ("muhterials") you can fudge a little — and some you absolutely cannot mess up. In this episode, we focus on the big-ticket, high-stakes items where precision matters most: concrete for your foundation, framing lumber for your walls, and any custom-made pieces that you can’t just grab off the shelf.

We’ll cover:

- How to calculate concrete volume so you’re not paying for last-minute truckloads (or stuck with a useless extra pile)

- Why getting framing material counts right can save you time, money, and headaches down the road

- The special planning that goes into custom windows, doors, and built-ins

- Pro tips for double-checking your numbers before placing that order Because in home building, a little extra math now can save you thousands later — and keep your project on schedule.
