They re great, and the rats love them and so should you

When building the wall of the room, I had an argument with my boss a few months ago because of the double plate. The boss said that making double plates is a waste of materials and time, and did not allow me to make double plates, saying that a top plate is enough. I insisted on doing it, and had a fierce argument with the boss. I believe that if the double plate is dispensable, the teacher would not teach us to do so in the video. There must be an important reason and role. The Chinese boss wanted to cut corners. In the end, I resigned and did not work with that Chinese boss anymore.

My god, I spent several days thinking about it before I figured out the function of double plate. The teacher actually mentioned it. It was because of my poor English that I didn’t understand what the teacher said. Because I saw that many Chinese people don’t use double plates, I was very surprised. Why did the American teacher teach me to use double plates? Since the teacher said so, there must be a reason. I thought about it for several days before I deduced that its function is to help the top to be pulled horizontally, so as not to crack and increase the strength.

But what happens when you have a corner you need decide where you need leve the exactly start inside or outside?

Excellent demonstration with clear and concise communication.

Question: on gable end truss do you sheet half on the wall half on the gable truss or do you sheet to to top of the top plate

just watched a pex video from a big shot Texas builder, your video is far better in all respects. thank you.

This is absolutely amazing, thank you so much. I was having the hardest time confirming I was doing the overlapping top plates correctly and this answered it with such clarity. Plus, that tiny little model is so cute, thinking this can be a construction + art project for me and my kiddo!

I understand fractional inches. However, I use metric tape measures to avoid the hassles of fractions.

Very helpful and well organized video, thanks bunches!!

Your videos are so awesome in Details that I have to watch it in half speed and still need to watch it for several times

By far the one of the best on framing that covers the details of corner connections that others have missed to cover or they do not even know. The models and the illustrations make it very helpful.

Thank you so much

simple things are the hardest to learn, thank you so much for the video!!

Thanks for the info

The CODE!?!

When building on a concrete pad, should the sheathing be installed wherein it is touching the pad or should it be up slightly to prevent wicking?

Excellent!

The pex in my house done around 2012 is white and kind of transparent almost clear

Perfect video. Thank you. Loved the scale model.

Can you use both ring or pinch clamps on both PEX A and B. Very confused.

Or you can just use 3 stud corners. They're like 4 dollars per stud, this is only for corners that's how everyone does it in Texas.

Great content, informative and very professionally done

Thank you, this was super helpful! I gained confidence viewing this and am now even more excited to begin my career in architecture.

this was extremely informative and I thank you for the knowledge!

Just came across one of your videos, loved the content, loved your presentation. Your style of explanation is so simple and clear. Liked & Subscribed

Such a great teacher! Appreciate your work. Quick question: can the layout of the header above the window sit right on the jack studs and cripple studs be above the header? Would that allow you to transfer the cripple layout lines to the top plate easier? Thank you again!

My worries is that I had a Plex B fitting leaving my water softer break off and cold water feed to my hot water heater that has the plastic lined nipple have some type of reaction and turn white, then started leaking serval years latter. Hot side is fine.

Good info, thanks

I’m building an off grid cabin next summer. Your videos are exactly what I needed to help me with areas I wasn’t 100% knowledgeable about. Thank you so much!!

which fittings are least expensive or which system is least expensive

You are a great teacher!! Great job and thank you!

This is such an important part of wall framing. I will never forget it - Hopefully. LOL!

I really appreciate the education that you guys share with us. Please keep it up!

Newbie question: I want to finish my basement and already had 2 rooms built professionally. The basement was poured in these yellow foam 'forms' which many have told me to sheetrock to. However they're not strait full of bumps and what-not so the 2 rooms I had done I told them to space a couple inches out and do 'free-standing' conventional walls. I would assume I do not need any insulation in the basement right? Also there's a beam in the basement overhead held by these steel 'adjusters' one of which I had them enclose into a wall when the 2 rooms were built. I hope these never need adjusting because I was planning on swallowing a few more of them into some walls is that okay or 'to code' ??

Use copper to get it right.

Thank you. Serioiusly. Im going to be referring to you and your videos for my entire basement project now.

Nice. Thank you.

Que PEX ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'm surprised that there isn't a variant where instead of doubling side by side, the boards are stacked. This would allow better insulation, and the boards could be formed into a single mechanical unit by gluing the edges and using structural sheathing on the outside. Then the cripples could be toe nailed to the header.

The builder on our house used the concrete form boards from the slab for the headers inside the house. I've never seen that before. What are your thoughts?

I'm curious why you didn't show connecting the interior wall to the O.C. stud, and then using drywall clips. Isn't that both the stronger and most energy efficient way to join walls? Of course that drives rooms to be even increments in your stud spacing.

This guy should teach how to teach 😊

Very good job 👍 Very good teaching skills I like so much how this presenter is showing and explaining. Wish my teachers were like that. Priceless ❤

That angle finder is useful for cutting rafter tails.

Wood you use it or Knot

I'm not really sure where this guy learned how to frame houses. His explainations of how to connect corners and interior wall is so far off it's rediculous. First of all, outside corners are simple. On tne receiving wall, nail two studs together in the shape of an 'L' and position it with the stud that's nailed facing the inrsecting wall, creating a 5" surface that you nail the end stud of tje second wall to. With the interior walls, you nail three studs together fodming a 'U' which when placed it the receiving wall, creates a 6 1/2" surface to be able to nail the intersecting wall. Much simpler than he makes it. Plus, those clips for the sheetrock in yje corners don't work. First of all, there isn't enough support. Second issue is the supports cost more than a stud, and the 'R' value loss he claims is mis-stated. Tbe studs also have a 'R' value, they are cellulose.

And why not compress thr insulation? Because insulation primarily just assures dead air space, one of the best insulators. And the cheapest. My sevond view of one of your bideos. You guys are outstanding, above and beyond 99.9% of all construction people

Nice! Clear and simple.

video was great please make more and some on how youbframe different type of roofs please 👍
