[@tommybucher4347]

I've been following you two, Oops, now three, for years, since you first bought the property. Something I have always admired about you is that you don't define work as men's work and women's work. The fact that Courtney can swing a hammer, use a shovel and run equipment is what makes a couple a real team. I lost my dear wife in May but that's the way we lived and loved for the 58 years we were married. Cudos to the Ambition Strikes team. I can hardly wait to see Oliver with a hammer in his hand or at the controls of the Cat. Tommy B in Virginia

Y’all are making it 10 times harder. Frame the wall flat on the ground and stand it up. 😉

[@coastalgaming1594]

It was killing me watching all that extra work. He is framing as if it’s a remodel wall not new construction….sigh all those toe nails sigh. All he had to do was get the anchor holes drilled verify it’s done correctly then pull and build the wall on the ground.

[@MrWizards1974]

That framing will never pass inspection. For the love of god please stop nailing the top plates together between the studs. Two nails directly above the studs only. Also do not spit your top plate between the studs. You are going to hate yourself when you drill through the plates to run any electric or plumbing and you hit the nails you put in between the studs.

[@scotpettengill7801]

How cool is it to see little Oliver moving around the place on his own two feet. It's great to see your family doing so well, and keeping things real with all the video's .. Thanks for all you do.

[@madmit2483]

Riley, there's a way easier way to make marks to drill the j-bolt holes. Use two people. One person at each end of the board. Put the board on top of the whole row of bolts then eyeball it from the top with your chalk line. Then simply hit the board with a hammer tap on it all the way down it leaves an imprint on the board that's where you drill !!!! I've built many structures like that it works perfect every time.

[@JohnHBrandon]

Hey Riley, I'm not expert, but the headers over your exterior doorways and windows should be standing 2X6's rather than laying flat like you've done. Your method would never pass code anywhere that I'm aware unless you don't have codes to follow out there in the boonies. Regardless, for peace of mind, every exterior wall should be treated as a load-bearing wall, hence the standing headers. Just my two cents.

[@NASTYcraftX]

They aren't using actual headers because there will be a LVL across the entire wall carrying the load of the 2nd floor wall. I would have used headers and Jack's either way just in case though.

[@MrDalerex]

I was just about to say that anything over 6 ft especially the garage head are you going to need a beam

[@JohnHBrandon]

@@NASTYcraftXunderstood, but it’s still considered a load-bearing wall. Still don’t think it would pass code here, but again, I’m no expert.

[@toddheslor4716]

Riley, All your headers are framed wrong. That will become a huge problem. You also need wall studs fastened to the concrete and block wall. This will help you sheating.

[@wyattwiehr9447]

That’s what happens when you learn from someone on KZbin. Everyone thinks they’re an expert so they post a video. There is a reason all the trades have apprenticeships, so you learn correctly how to do plumbing, carpentry, electrical and masonry…..so a few years later your house doesn’t fall apart or burn down. That’s why most cities have buildings codes.

[@MichaelCurley-il6sm]

You frame/layout on the ground and put it up as one whole wall.

[@danhard8440]

I'm not a framer BUT for the headers all that i have seen have the boards long side up and down not flat say like a 2" X 6" its standing on the 2 and going 6 high specially for long spans when they are flat they are going to sag

[@ahnilatedahnilated7703]

Yeah, if you lay them flat they will sag. They are also not very strong that way.

[@bobsundance9297]

[@Why_ask_]

I used to do concrete grinding with just a mask, then I found out the hard way that those masks are just effective enough that you think you are not doing damage. As much work as you do, get a dust shroud and HEPA vacuum. Fine Woodworking has a good article. Festool and Makita both make battery powered units.

[@MrDalerex]

O'Reilly if you're putting weight on the wall it has to be 16 in on Center so add a stud between all your studs before you put your joist down

[@nathanplatt5517]

There is an actual difference between the Green pressure treated boards and the Brown pressure treated. The green pressure treated is for ground contact. It is resistant to rotting when touching the ground or concrete or organic material and is also termite resistant. The brown pressure treated lumber is non ground contact. It is typically used on framing exterior buildings and porches where there is no contact with the ground or organic material.

[@roberto.peterson9917]

good to know hadn't actually thought about it but yes making sense feel better about picnic table repair with brown treated board have 50 ,+ tables that been maintaining

[@andspenrob]

The color varies in different parts of the States... Out west, even ground contact boards are brown - just have a higher concentration of preservatives injected. I'm guessing it has to do with the kind of timber used...

[@smcox1991]

@@andspenrobexactly. Here in Colorado a lot of the pt lumber is brown and it’s gc rated.

[@chuckdavis7681]

Standard construction techniques I'm accustomed to is to build the walls flat on the ground and then stand it up. You'll have a bottom and top plate. So you end up with two plates on the bottom and two on the top. It cost a little more, but it's so much quicker. I also alway cut my studs the same length and shim between the two bottom plate boards if needed. You even have a machine to lift it into place so you don't have to horse it yourself. Also, framing tolerances is typically within an 1/8 inch, although I like it dead on too.

[@TableRockDiverDougB]

It's a little late now, but a lot of old time builders would also put a thin piece of sheet metal between the foam and the sill plate that would stick out about two inches to the outside of the foundation. The purpose so I've been told is to discourage termites or other bugs. After its installed you fold down the sheet metal slightly and the termites can't make their tunnels and come up and around the sheet metal.

[@MichaelCurley-il6sm]

I have this on my on slab house.

[@brianperry4754]

Many people also include a bead of silicon on top and bottom of the foam to keep all the creepy crawlies outside and really keep the building tight and sealed.

[@JeffWinter1]

Easiest way to set J bolts is to pre-drill the sill plate put the J bolts in and then lay it in the fresh cement. Once dry, remove nuts and sill plate, put the foam down, replace sill and do final nut tightening. Much simpler and faster.

[@GetBusyBuilding]

The motto I live by - “Action precedes clarity”. You guys are killing it. I can relate to the prep stress you’ve had

[@MrDalerex]

Riley I just wanted to say you didn't have to grind the concrete down at 3/8 of an inch every slab that's ever poured every foot in a report is off just a little bit. All you got to do is cut the studs shorter when you frame it. Love you show you guys are doing awesome lot of work

[@coastalgaming1594]

The floor joists are going to lay on it, he had to grind it, otherwise not only the floor of the house would be wavy but the ceiling of the lower floor and then would have also had to trim the studs.

[@franktyred9195]

You need jack studs and cripples around doors and windows, I am hopeful you have accounted for those in your framing the width of each.

It's cool to see little man taking steps. I remember when you all announced Courtney was pregnant.

[@GirdHerd]

Looking good, guys. Just a few comments from a retired General Contractor. 1) When doing Advanced Framing (24 inch on center) all of the load points must line up from the foundation to the rafters. That means the floor joists must fall on top of the studs and not off-set on the double top plate as you are planning to do. To be safe, I would suggest you install a stud under each floor joist after the floor joists are installed. 2) I suspect the window sills are lower than 24 inches thereby requiring tempered safety glazing in those two windows. I doubt your second hand windows are tempered. 3) Personally, I would be laminating headers out of 2x material for all those openings instead of a single 2x6 and a few cripple studs (especially above the interior door where floor joists will be resting above it. In fact, I would probably use a steel I-beam or box beam there.)

[@2hlix]

Code here is 18" or lower for glass requiring tempered/safety. Although I think glazing within 24" of a door horizontally and lower than 60" requires tempered/safety glass in some areas.

So I think you guys are doing an awesome job. This brings back a lot of memories about 14 years ago. I bought a little three bedroom one bath house that I pretty much tore down of the studs because the inspector missed all of the mold and rot. I think out of all the walls we started with we had like one and a half left so we put in a new foundation, and we also added a master bedroom suite another bathroom a dining room and we ended up turning a 800 square-foot home into a 1800 square-foot home and we did everything the plumbing which I’ve done in the past have no problem with the framing from the ground up, including the forms in the footings and laying all the steel and it was fun. I was really proud of me and my boys. We did a lot of work and I thought it was funny you talking about framing it brought back a memory. I actually bought the book framing for dummies and I use that anyways sending you guys love hope you guys have a wonderful wonderful day.

hint use an acoustic caulk under the sill sealer.. WHY keeps bugs out and makes for a better seal for moisture and air infiltration.

[@smokethirteen]

Where the 2 walls meet in T shape (perpendicular) you need a “corner” stud. And in your window openings, you need a “cripple” stud at both ends of the rough sill so the weight of the window is not held by the nails in shear. also you need a stud under every top plate joint.

[@TJackson-n2r]

Hey Riley, hope these comments fine you’re doing well. On the very first wall that you’re framing to hold up the second floor floor, it should be framed with either 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 material studs and it should be 16 inches on center on center not 24 because it will be caring the load up top. This will make your will much stronger and only cost you 4 more studs. you need to have treated material running along all the concrete surfaces, the horizontal as well as the vertical surfaces. To attach the vertical studs use a (Hiilti gun, Powder actuated guns or ramset ) Powder actuated guns. This will shoot a nail into the concrete so you don’t have to use anchor bolts (just for the vertical studs). you should have 2 king studs and 1 cripple stud, the cripple stud will hold your header up for your opening for your sliding glass door. Wrong with that. Thanks for doing what you do. Love your show…..

[@mikenelson6630]

I know all about measuring mistakes - in high school shop, we had a project to make a hot plate trivet, 1/2 in tall strips arranged in a grid, 5 strips each way in a sort of oversized tic-tac-toe design. Everyone had a different job, mine was to take a measurement, someone else set the table saw blade, someone else CUT a dado into the strips so they could be joined together. NO ONE bothered to check before cutting enough for everyone - I measured from one side, they measured from the other, and they cut the strips (out of Walnut no less) for a class of about 20, and 10 strips per person. Needless to say, none of the trivets were uniform, we spent time grabbing strips from a box, testing each to see if they fit. BUT, 40+ years later my mother still uses this.

Put some plywood sheeting up on the walls for some shear movement prevention and to keep stuff squared up. Don’t shoot any nail in the top or bottom plates where electrical or plumb will be going. Holehawg riding isn’t that fun, especially when you’re on a ladder. Make a story stick for drilling the electric romex holes in the studs at the same height. Add more outlets than you think you will need. Add outlets on the outside of the house for Christmas lighting and security lighting. Add propane outlet connection points for BBQ’s on back porches.

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

Riley you missed the simpliest way to mark your sill plates for the foundation sills. simply lay the sill plate on top of the foundation bolts, lined up where it is going to be and smack the sill plate with a hammer over each bolt and the mark is where you drill your holes. also drill the holes a little oversize to compensate for any shrinkage and alignment when the wood dries. KISS principle.....

[@bryce89x30]

[@tgcahill]

Riley, I have been both an EMT on an Ambulance Squad and an ER Nurse and have done my share of repairing Carpenters who have done things that can only be described as "STOOOPID". If you look at today's' video at 25 minutes and 20 seconds, you will notice how close your fingers are to a rapidly turning saw blade. There is this amazingly simple piece of safety equipment called a push board which can be obtained at no cost by going to your scrap lumber pile and picking up an approximately one foot long piece of 2x4 and using it to push the board you are cutting through the final foot of the cut. Courtney would NOT be happy if she had to pick up your fingers, wrap them in gauze and put them on ice after wrapping you hand and then driving you to the hospital to see if they can sew them back on! (She will probably eventually forgive you - probably - maybe.) Also, FYI, remember the definition a Nurse - "the first person you are going to see when waking up in the ER after saying to your friends - "Watch this!". Other than that, I wait impatiently every weekend for your next episode to begin. I love them. Good luck to you, Courtney, Oliver and all your helpers.
