Engineers call this decoupling. I've always wanted to do this if I ever build my own home. It's much more effective than adding insulation.

A cheap welding hood will cost you about $50 it’s well worth saving your eyesight. I don’t see a lot of blind framers out there

I'm about three weeks away from setting my first trusses. I've watched this video so many times, but it always amazes me the eay your dad stands up there on top.

If you have too weld with no helmet set it up and where your tacking it and close your eyes or look away then hit it you need your eyes brother 🙏

Really good stuff

I need to get off my high horse damn 😂 back when ships were wood and men were made of iron

Please don’t buy TEMU. Please don’t buy Chicom crap

You backnail your sills that’s cool I never even thought of that

Be safe 😂

Id say vision is priceless, so definitely not worth it

I wanna see the video of you waking up at midnight and can't open your eyes 😂

Next time, do it outside so the fresh air circulates, welding fumes kill like a mf, cancer aint nothing to joke about

The story must go on 😂

My mother rolls my foreskin just right

Enjoy the flash burn.

Welding with ski goggles is wild my boy

How much did it cost

Wtf

Cringefest and stupid

Amazing video, Matt! Having moved to the West from a region where concrete homes are customary, I'd have to say this video is definitely helpful. Very informative for such a short clip!

Looking forward to more plan reading vids. Good stuff, thank you.

Hello i appreciate these vids. Any thoughts on adding blocking between rafters? Also any vids on replacing windows w stucco and sizing it correctly when ordering a window w stucco mould? Would love your thoughts on nail on not retrofit

On is hold back while the other is putting down force with the wrist.

Is this strong enough for a recording studio/battery player? Have you ever done any of those

Matt is so good at bouncing on wood. Easy to remember the name though.. Genius! When he’s working on a deck he yells out to passers by and says hey…come up here and sit on my deck! Love your stuff buddy! Good to see your growing. You know the humor…..framer guy!

Good job, guys!

KZbin, stop showing me blue collar work. I left that bs years ago yet I see it every damn day. Why

They been out for awhile but if you have to tie a lot of rebar & you got two of them, you’d be surprised how quick you can get it done

I like your videos, thank u.

Can you do that with metal framing?

Through the floor?

Last recommendation does not make sense. Sill seal separated the plate from the concrete

You seem normal, but your walking around with poop on the back of your hand.

throw some quiet rock ontop of those staggered studs I bet it's silent

Looks like a moldy mess

I bet your new construction business is down since Joe Biden been in the White House

Always start your windows and doors first so you can nail from side good ur welcome then toss in ur studs after 👍

What router bit would you recommend for this?

My friend needs this for his house. His daughter caught him and his wife Having some Nasty Time 😂😂

reason why one was faster than the other. Look how tight the grain is on the end of the slower bit, you can see the tight rings and the two knots .That would make a substantial difference .

If you frame interiors walls 24" OC, be sure to be diligent with installing blocking where it will be needed for cabinets, shelving, towel bars, grab rails, etc. As for the extra stud thickness for shear, perhaps using T-Studs with the wider flange on the outside would solve for shear requirements and then reduce any nailing accuracy problems with the thicker sheathing panel.

I know a few people that've payed like $50-100 used for a window like that but hey one is paid more to work right? Now go pick up EVERY single piece of glass! 😂

Good man, simple reminders helps us all.

I've always laid out both plates together Carpentry 101

The slow one is just so dull from being used on the first demo only once haha

so if you are framing 24" OC that means 5/8" drywall on the walls too, correct? Hear in the midwest back in the 80's we did a lot with sealing foundation plastic to wall plastic to ceiling plastic,the problem with that was too tight at the time.Air exchangers couldn't move enough air.We were also using 1" foam on a 2x6 exterior wall with the metal strap cross bracing.

Lay the top and bottom plate out at the same time. Less movement.

I like it!!

Great video. Definitely informational is the collaborative efforts of ideas and standards others use. This was great
