Looks straight to me!

On ya Bruce!

We call it VP visual progress. The hardest day on your knees putting bolts on or playing with a rimu floor.

High percepch jobs tend to be quick, 3 high percepch jobs in one day, then do 3 days of low percepch before they're done!

Landscaping. So much time in the ground, drainage, post footings, other building of retaining and pergolas etc. Then soil and turf, plants and mulch give the real high percepch!

Hey Scott - here in Aus we call it ‘VP’ - great visual progress. Love the channel keep it up

In the aircraft maintenance world high percepch is also called visual progress 😂

As someone in IT if I'm doing my job correctly no one should notice.

Yep that client is called my wife

Ohh .. Ohh .. Bruce might be taking Jess's Square Space intro job 🤣

Working in software development, so much is crucial but low persepch. Can definitely relate!

Então então a madeira tem esse processo o concreto com ferragem a coisa mais estabilizada que dura para toda a vida que a madeira quanto tempo ela recolhe quanto tempo ela encolhe aumenta uma ideia se apodrece eu sei tu falou teu recurso que tem por aí para fazer mas preste muita atenção tem outros processos para fazer mas você utiliza muita madeira na madeira apodrece apodrece

Gee Scott, doesn't look like you guys did much today!? 😂

Scott eu sei que tá fazendo que tem muita madeira por aí pela Nova Zelândia que você tem muita madeira aí mas a madeira com o tempo ela retorce madeira quanto tempo ela encolhe

Well as an apprentice, every day is low perpech day.

Last week I had a client tell his wife “Is that all he got done”. I installed a wire railing inside their home. This guy can’t screw in a lightbulb and had no idea what was involved in getting everything straight and plumb.

9:31 Scott i know u work so hard on ur videography and my word has it paid off, this shot alone is so breathtaking wow.

Wall looks straight from over here in Perth, WA Scott : )

I find, in the end, it's faster to plumb all the external corners as you go. Much easier than when everything is connected, all the lintels in. If you're using metal cross bracing ( hoop iron/strapping) it's really easy to plumb the wall with the hoop iron, as you go. Bottom of the strapping is fixed under the bottom plate, which ever way you need to pull the wall, you put a roofing screw in an angle the opposite way, in the larger hole in the strapping. Then another screw the same way in the opposite strap. Both straps will be tight and the wall plumb. If you need to make adjustments later in just undo one screw and tighten the other, both straps will be tight again. Then when walls are all up nail the strapping fully off.

Melamine chips, just like a laminate flooring plank.

Same thing happens in software engineering. Hidden vs obvious work.

Bruce did the most kiwi thing I have ever known! Friendliest nation ever!

Yes!

Lovely dog. Dogs always have low percepch days. They bring us all this love and loyalty and fun and we carry on as if they’re not there!😉

5:22 I like to think you set the camera up hidden in the bushes, then went back to the job site. Great Timelapse angle ⏰

We call it VP. Visual perception.

1:00 yeah as an electrician no one seems to register any progress we make until the power points go on the wall. They dont even have to be working, ive thrown them on early just to keep the builder happy and get a progress payment Heck in my new job every bit of work is like this because no one can physically see a buried pipeline or the electrical current i push into it

Damn, discouraged my creepy Nelson tourism plans :P

when lifting the beam could you have added more weight with plates and better to have plate laps for straps NZ are cookie :) I learned the most from DAD and SLAVIC OLD TRADIES all did frames and trusses SOLO cast IRON CLAPS at frame junctions is the second person can't say more trade secrets best STRAIGHTEN WALLS AS YOU GO

G,day Scott Brown Carpentry from Sydney Australia. Is it still possible to cripple a stud and nail a 600mm plate on the side. I'd need to check AS 1684 part 2 Anyway... Thank God Bricklayers can read a level A🪚🌏🇦🇺

LMAO!! PERCEPCH. Can't tell you how many times I have run into this. You're so proud of getting some finicky detail crushed and the client looks at it and goes Meh. We do this work for ourselves cause normies just don't get it. We're just lucky that most people can't do this stuff and are willing to pay us bitching the whole time that they saw it done better on HGTV. I just tell them to watch Scott Brown.

I installed Disco lighting in the uk and always got 4 lights flashing ASAp as to get the oh’s and ars because the rest of the job would take time unlike carpet fitters glory grabers😂

Working as a cabinet maker who can spend days not even on site giving the client visual progress is sometimes an art, doing a bit and then fitting in parts to 'keep the client happy' rather than dissappearing for 2 weeks and then fitting everything in a week sometimes doing things in steps lets them see the progress much easier

I'm a Project Manager for a contractor that specializes in building multi-family units (condos, apartments, etc). I have had to deal with the high/low percepch issue with THE ARCHITECT of all people. Not to mention the investors, leasing agents, insurance agents.... 🤷‍♂😆

love this channel . Saturday morning with a cup of tea . I miss the 'Flying Dutchman' Ray's wry wit

Torstin, Larry Haun would be proud using his tricks. Sorry if butchered your name.

4:10 - That's a lot of ants, isn't it? Have they nested in the beam?

I'm no engineer, but with a huge beam needing 3 studs to hold it up and the house is on piles, shouldn't there be a pile directly under the support of that beam?

Such a smooth segue to the sponsor!

Nailing braces 🤮 get those purlin screws out. Then they can be moved as the tumber will shrink/expand over time and you can re-plumb the walls if need be.

Even though the frames were erected with great care and plumbed, wood is not a perfectly stable material. Even a few days exposure is enough to allow some of the sticks to expand or shrink. Then checking the plumb and level again you might find they were off.

2 weeks now no “Scott brown here” lol

We used to call it glory day or going for Hollywood.

It’s best to keep your braces off of the corners enough that you can put a straight edge up at any time.

Hey it’s cam from blacktail studios.

it's beautiful and looks totally like the pinterest cabinets i drool over

Fabulous episode. I've learned a lot and now have a much deeper appreciation of builders and carpenters. Thanks for turning low percepsch into high!

i think its called the Pareto 20/80 Rule.. the last 20 percent of the work takes 80 percent of the time.

"Percepch" also happens in software engineering and data science. There's a lot of "boring" work that doesn't get much (if any) attention or respect, but is required to make things work properly. Love that trick with the pencils on the level! As you showed with the bracing, details matter.

Can spend a day first fixing a bathroom, customers are rarely impressed, that pipe was there now its over here. Spend a day fitting the suite, oh wow you've got so much done
