How to Fasten to Concrete

[@bryang4323]

I didn’t realize you had to attach a double bottom plate. You just took so much stress off of me on this Christmas morning! I’m so relieved I can fix my problem. Thank you so much! I enjoy your content!! Keep them coming and Merry Christmas to you guys!

This is pretty useful to learn about. I'm going to have to mix concrete and wood to make my home seem more normal from the inside, so while I'm surrounded by cement, I'm going to make a bunch of wooden walls and floors. Etc. I appreciate all the help I can get.

Haven’t used the split drive but look similar to dewalts Spike. And absolutely love Titens such good holding power and easier than wedge anchors. Engineers love them

[@rickculpepper709]

Love the bloopers…seriously that’s good information

[@dbconstruction7892]

11:27 Exposure to lead? My understanding is that the lead in a .22 cartidge is only in the bullet. The charges for a ramset don't have a bullet. Is there lead in the gun powder?

[@toddb8479]

I was thinking the same thing, it’s a .27cal blank cartridge.

[@zendell37]

There's going to be lead at the facility they're made in. It's a cross contamination safety sort of thing. In the end, good hygiene is better overall.

The video of you installing the wedge anchor with the white camo shirt on was the first video I ever saw of Awesome Framers! I’ve been subscribed ever since! 😎

[@AwesomeFramers]

Thanks! That shirt got so dirty I couldn't wear it anymore 🙂😂

[@zendell37]

Good timing. I've got some pallet racking to set up and was juggling the methods in my head.

[@AllySafety]

Awesome video! Thanks for including me.

[@pdcro1247]

Very educational!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@gregorymacneil2836]

I think the Simpson Titan are great and do give a good ROI. They are also easy to inspect. Great Video

[@jimanderson4495]

Yo Tim. Thanks. Wow…… pushing 200k!

[@mattmag3089]

No steel cuts?? We only use the Ramset .27 for shooting wood to steel these days. Find the hardened steel cut, hand drive nails faster and less fussy when fastening pars to basement slab. We rarely have load bearing walls on slabs here in Michigan. Theyre usually sitting on basement walls with straps or embedded bolts. Easy peasey.

[@gordonclark7632]

In Australia you have to be licensed to operate the powder actuated nailer as it is classed as a firearm as you mention.

[@AwesomeFramers]

training is required here.

[@Daniel.lopez.]

Whats your bottom plate anchor spacing for non load bearing interior partition walls? Is there a code book reference?

[@michaelgarrow3239]

The Titan screw is a great idea. Always hated the pigtail machinations. I have a Hilti powder actuated nailer (DX2?) that has been rebuilt 3-4 times. Probably has several hundred thousand nails through it. 👍

[@barrelmitt1544]

I am a Simpson TITEN convert for Residential Housing, sheds, carports, barns..... not so much for other applicants (give me embedments). To many people take liberty installing the screws, READ & FOLLOW THE fu¢¥£ng SIMPSON directions and follow the approved plans. Since ~1982 I have had a Hilti DX-35 (25cal) just like Rachel displays. Tall Cotton! Compared to the 22cal Remington. 25cal never fails. I will say it's safer than the strip - you slow down and have to be situationally aware. LSS In 10th grade (1970's) a girl classmate was wiping the mirror at her job at the BK in the mall. On the other side was a head shop, where somebody was putting up shelves. They thought it would be a great idea to fasten the shelf bracket with a power driven fastener. Well through the wall, the mirror and several inches in to her head lands a 3½" nail. She is alive but it has been a very long road and she very handicapped {think IED recovery}. Keep it under lock and key and the loads separate. As soon as you see someone on the JS playing how much stuff can I blast through =} Un-employ them.

@@barrelmitt1544 - It stayed in the truck till we were nailing down walls. The shot strips were behind the seat.

[@fullswing2315]

Can these be used for say HDU2's? Or are you drilling and epoxy after frame is done? Or are these still being wet set 🤔

[@Jminenna]

whats the best way you have found to do your voice over on your videos?

[@AwesomeFramers]

Rode mic through Davinci Resolve

[@Jminenna]

Thanks. I gotta say out of all the building people I subscribe to on KZbin, you are the only one who actually responds to comments. Thank you so much it means a lot

[@AwesomeFramers]

@@Jminenna I try to, but a lot get past me. Its actually really difficult to respond because I don't get notifications for most. Not sure why. Thanks for the support!

[@bemckinn1985]

I'm sure that hilti is grandfathered in, im sure those are illegal in California by now

[@samsingh2042]

Hey man, can you do a tool tour, your van and workshop

[@karlmckinney8469]

What if concrete is equipped with radiant heating hoses, would that be a problem. I imagine it might be.

[@c14b4tt4]

Can be avoided by not putting tubes where walls will be built.

[@AwesomeFramers]

Shouldn't be a problem with 2 1/2" split drives, but that is a question to resolve with the superintendent before framing.

[@Louan7155]

I want an M1

[@jbake215]

Looks like drilling and setting the bolts takes the same time as marking out and drilling

[@AwesomeFramers]

an saves time at concrete forming, and placing.

[@benmacdui9328]

Put the non load bearing walls up after sheeting ceilings. Youre gonna be sheeting ceilings inside closets etc , that is neither enjoyable or cost efficient.

[@Tom-sd5ru]

U lookin kinda jacked up. Or is it jus the black shirt lol

[@AwesomeFramers]

5 days a week in the gym trying to get rid of some of this gut 🤐
