I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this kzbin.infoUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!

[@christophernarazo7899]

I went to school for carpentry and this is EXACTLY how they taught us to frame walls. GOOD JOB

[@realityimage8700]

All good tips. I framed for over 40 years and loved it. I like the fact that you can see how much you’ve done by the end of the day. My brother and I had a framing crew for many years. We started with just 2 employees and gradually worked up to 38. When we first started just 4 of us could frame a duplex in 4 days. That was from the slab to ready for the roofers and ready for all ext. paint and ready for all the other trades on the int. Something we did, that I rarely see, is we would put the sheathing on the walls when they were laying down, just as you, but we took it further. We’d also set the windows and doors, nail the soffits to the walls and put all the siding and trim on. Everything is a lot faster and easier when it’s laying down. On the end walls, we would put the gable trusses on with the soffits before lifting. (We had to leave the sheathing and siding off the corners so we could tie the walls together). The back walls were 96 ft. long and pretty heavy, as were the gable walls, so we used wall jacks. The roofs were usually a 4/12 pitch so that was low enough that we could lean over and nail the on facia from the roof. The only time we had to use a ladder for ext. was for the corners, precisely the sheathing, siding, soffit and corner boards.

Great video! I've been a carpenter for years. I went to trade school to learn to build houses and I've never seen a wall sheathed, wrapped or squared before standing it up. I usually work by myself so I can guarantee I'll be framing like you do in the video from now on. Thanks for the enlightenment!

I like how you think things out. On your video's you mention " its easier on your back" which is great advice and something your body will happy you did as you age. I often see workers do things that are just terrible for their bodies on job sites and I often hear the same people say how their body is hurting. Be smart think it out. Thanks for another great video.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Thanks Scott... yeah if you do this long enough, you figure out that it will slowly kill you if you do it wrong!!

[@davenag957]

Nice job. Many many carpenters don't overlap the rim and sills with the sheathing and inspectors don't flag it. The only thing holding down the walls are the nails in the plates. Thats so important to keep the walls anchored down when there is uplift in high winds or seismic concerns. It also adds another layer of moisture protection to the rim and sills which so often rot out from improperly flashed openings above. I've seen million dollar homes with absolutely terrible framing practices. You guys are stellar.

[@kaboom362]

You would think that these tips would be common practice amongst licensed trades persons. The fact is is that anybody can go to the local Building Center and grab one of those air nailers and call themselves whatever. Big difference between a perfectionist and a butcher. Great video guys

2:23-2:34 he's talking about choosing good lumber to work with and that finding good lumber is difficult; as a former Lowe's employee that worked in the lumber department, he is 100% right. I might add that there's no such thing as a perfect board; just search for the best you can get and work with what you have.

[@markspears1167]

Glad to see there are still craftsmen in the framing trade. Great video!

[@kevinsimard]

Doing it the same up here in Montreal. A couple little differences I was tought to nail the bottom plate to the floor first before you nail any studs in. We use 2×6 on our exterior & load bearing walls We put a 1/4" × 5 1/2" foam under the bottom plate. We would use a chainsaw to open our window openings. When i started we put one osb 4×9 & then 2 4×9 sheeting. Something about letting the house breath. Now its all 4×9 sheeting 1/2" with a 1" styrofoam (isofoil) Its cool to see we are separated by a couple 1000 kilometers yet we have the same building techniques. Love your videos.

[@9mmkahr]

FINALLY. Someone sheathing a wall on the ground. KZbin is full of the other guys..... I cant imagine how anybody makes money trying to throw sheets and then tyvek up off of a ladder. We put everything on the damn wall, overhangs, siding, gables and bay roofs etc. We build our whole porch on the ground too!! So much faster. Cheers from Michigan!! One thing we do differently, is that i fully toenail the bottom plates of the front and back walls (first walls to go up) to hold the wall in place while lifting. Gets rid of the need to fasten (and remove later...) blocks on the big walls. Once wall is up to about 75-80 degrees they all pop out.. Bink Bink and we just smash em over. Again, good stuff great vid. Rough carpenter 18 years

[@erikn3377]

Would be a heck of a lot of wasted time to stand without sheets on..

[@willanderson3318]

In a lot of jurisdictions you MUST leave building wrap off until you’ve passed a “sheathing inspection.” The engineer wants to see nailing pattern and type of nails. The city inspector requires that windows and doors are installed prior to sheathing inspection. It’s a pain buts it’s reality. In those jurisdictions there is really no way to put the Tyvek on before standing the wall.

[@jesikmilkaritas9155]

[@zackgriffith5012]

I love building. I'm a carpenter and i know most of this but it cant hurt to know to much! Great video!!

[@larryrobinson08]

Nice informative video, just wish you would have explained mistake number four. Typical framers will begin by nailing every stud ,trimmer, and cripple to the sole plate without consideration of channel blocking and nailing headers to king studs etc. Would have been nice to point out to start nailing in order of accessibility. Example at 3:45 in the video you show clearly that there is room to screw the header to the king stud. If a 16”oc stud is right next to the king stud and nailed already at the sole plate, it makes it almost impossible to efficiently nail/screw header to king stud. Keep up the imformative videos!!

[@dannyrascalmusic]

Most new builds here in NZ use prenailed framing... it’s quicker, but not always better. We also require a lot more cross bracing because we get so many earthquakes. Great video though, it’s nice to see there are still actual craftsmen around the world, building with pride in their work.

[@dugnacious]

Maybe best instruction on KZbin. Thank you, I'm in the process of building my house and these are incredibly helpful.

[@griznatle]

Seattle framer here. We put our ply vertically to minimize on horizontal rack blocking for edge panel nailing. We also can't cover nailing until inspection. Curious you used zipwall for roof but not walls. Also, this is just a personal thing, i push all headers to touch the top plate, then you don't need load bearing cripples. I also use HH6 to hang them instead of jacks, great for standard load bearing applications under 6'.

[@jeromegarcia5396]

I hella like the square the wall, anchor it, and put sheating and tyvek before its vertical... nice...

[@slimdougmaddox4634]

Yeah I've done the sheathing while on the floor, but didn't think about putting the house wrap on too. Simple, yet brilliant.

[@MountainManFred]

Thanks for this.. I'm 67..volunteering at Habitat for Humanity.. and always learning..

[@aservant2287]

Here in Michigan we put as much as we can on the wall before raised like overhangs, tyvek, anything that needs to go on. When I was a laborer I think 25-26 years ago we had a company from the south start a house in the same subdivision. When they started we we're about to set 2 floor joist. Within 4 days they were raising 2 story walls w/o anything on the walls. I said to my boss, " they're gonna smoke us, they're flying!". He said just watch. We ours done in about 1.5 weeks. It took them 2 months to finish. They used scaffolding but it just took forever to build. They had twice as many guys and we got ours built in 1/3 of the time. Bless their hearts but no way did they make a profit. It was 3.5 dollars a sqft back then.

[@tornadokat]

[@Lugnut64052]

[@watti-yi7sw]

Saw a comment about marking tops of studs ...agree. I've used a lumber keel crayon in a holder for years. Pick a bright color. If you mark crowns up on studs rafters floor joists a quick glance will tell you if there's a mistake. Like your vids well done and to the point.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

[@wanderinginminnesota8591]

Talent I wish I saw more of this in the field.!

[@joegar72]

Good video. Looks like a beautiful spot to work. We do things slightly different. When assembling an exterior wall, we put the wall plates on some scrap blocks so that we can feel that the studs are flush on the interior face (drywall side). Sometimes you get variants in width of studs or plates and we like to have the drywall side flush and the exterior side is less important as you often have an air space for masonry or strapping for siding. Also, a stud that is crowned a 1/4" should be used to cut up for pieces above and below your windows. Keep the straighter ones for studs and cripplers. Find a supplier who can get you premium grade lumber and you will have straighter material without wained edges too.

[@robertbragg9364]

Great videos and great work. I can appreciate someone who can walk and talk at the same time. Its definitely not something everyone can do. I have taken some terrible workers over the years and turned them into pretty good ones. Teaching someone the right way and taking the time to do things the right way is something that doesn't happen as often as it should. That view was absolutely amazing as well. I'd love to work on a job with you guys someday. If you ever need someone to help on some charity work or something else let me know and I'd gladly come down and help you guys in any way I can.

Tyvek should be ONE SHEET around the structure as much as possible. It adds more rigidity than you’d think. I mean, it’s called “house wrap” after all. Otherwise, great video.

[@MyFortressConstruction]

I like the idea of laying tyvek down as well as the sheathing. Most of the time you are doing things in different phases though, or the framing crew doesn't do the flashing. Also, highly recommend putting some of the sill foam underneath to stop air leaks or good ole subfloor adhesive. The nail trick will keep the sill from sliding on the adhesive.

[@pakkelly]

Although it is more work to sheath after the wall is vertical . It is more difficult to cut and cleat any crown that is bowed toward the exterior. For years we used a metal straight edge on walls and dimensional joist to ensure we had a perfectly straight / flat surface

I couldn't agree more, sheet the walls before standing them. I can't understand why some framers seem to want to make things harder on themselves.

Adds a lot of weight on big walls and makes it harder to raise. I always nail 2-4 sheets down after squaring, then hang the rest vertical. Saves the back and keeps 'er true.

If the subfloor is level and the wall is square, once the wall is stood it will be plumb.

[@micmills6499]

Step 1 is get rid of all studs that have over 1/16 inch crown. Even one stud that has 1/4 inch crown next to one that has no crown creates a crooked wall. Step 7 tyvek has to be installed with a nail and cap per tyvek installation instructions. Staples with no cap will void the tyvek warranty. Also has to hang by the foundation 1 inch.

Such a good video. I love these guys. I’m preparing to build my own house, so these tips are golden.

[@munsters2]

Good video. Always nice to see people who care about good quality work. 1. 06:07 What happens after you square, sheath and erect the wall. You now have a rigid wall and what if the floor is uneven and there are gaps between wall and floor or a gap between walls at a corner? 2. 06:18 I know plywood and OSB manufacturers recommend a gap between panels. Problem is the panels are 48" wide; NOT 47 7/8" wide (or 96" vs. 95 7/8"). So, after installing 8 panels with 1/8" gap, your seam will be 1" off centerline of stud or truss. 3. 06:39 Why are there two sill plates between the foundation and floor joists/rim joist?

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Thanks... 1. Having a flat floor (at least at the edge under the exterior wall) is very important for this method of sheeting first to work well. We do our own masonry to get a nice foundation and then use an electric planer if needed to normalize all of the floor joists before sheeting the floor so that when we stand the walls there is no gapping. 2. We only gap the OSB on the long sides (parallel to the orientation of the strands of wood that make up the sheet). Because We have found that osb swells a lot more in the width direction than the length because of the orientation of the chips it is made of. 3. The double sill plate is for high wind zone building code, since we are on a ridge top. The osb on the walls laps down over both plates and is nailed every 3” to each to hold the house to the foundation.

[@munsters2]

@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers Okay, thanks.

[@zps4173]

Very nicely done. We alwaysed toe nailed the bottom plate to layout first with the gun 1.5 inch up at 45 deg you wont have to remove it. Crips nail to a king stud above a header does nothing. Unless on the 16 center.

Just cause the studs are all nailed together doesn’t mean the wall can’t be wiggled into or out of square It’s quite weeble wobbily until you put the OSB on it and can be tapped with a big hammer or even a foot sometimes to be wrangled into shape

Don't do it .. It's not a nice trade .. The rain , the muck , freezing , sweltering and most young men that can't get a job at CVS get into carpentry because it pays better .. For a minute !! .. The added benefit of driving a nail through your hand , broken bones , smashing fingers and working alongside retards that can't read a tape measure .. .. It's a dying trade .. It's a needed trade .. but old fucks like me with 40 years in the trade has seen it all ..
