Building A Custom Home | #6 - Three Days, Arched Entryway!

[@MattBangsWood]

Want a full tutorial on arches? If so, I can make it happen. Let me know! Unfortunately, Q has decided to quarantine in home, so he won’t be with us to finish out the rest of this build.. It’s a bummer, but we respect his choice to do so! Who’s ready for a roof? BANG ON!

[@complex2507]

what happen to fox?

[@wadebarret100]

Yes, we want a tutorial of arches please

[@RandyUnderwood2]

Yes plz

[@drsh0ckalu]

We just took layoffs from our employers. Ontario's looking pretty rough. Lumber yards buttoning up, concrete isn't being poured for us. Lot of local contractors are stopping work. :/ Stay safe, Matt. Build's looking beautiful so far!

[@hammertime7349]

Yes I’d like to see that

[@t-media7782]

Man. Walking on the top plate like that is impressive !! lol

[@timothydillon6421]

I had to stop and say at 26is you can lay out rafters on the plates while they are still on the ground.

[@MrKickazz101]

I watch this channel from up in western Canada. I work in industrial construction and know nothing about house building. We are about to get shut down from covid19 any day now, so I’ll be watching more videos from you. Stay safe down there America!!

[@ChrisHornberger]

That wall walk at 25:00.... NOPE! :) Loving watching this build. Don't know how I missed this one.

[@russ3llfromup]

Matt and the team awesome job guys. Thanks for this series, your videos keep my sanity during this 2 wk quarantine period. I am really fascinated with construction and the tools. Nothing beats your precision and productivity. Much respect!

[@julietphillips1991]

Yes Matt, a tutorial on arches would be great. Those arches you installed looked perfect and what a nice, snug fit! The delivery guy sure knows how to maneuver that truck! See you on the roof!

[@DJERA30]

Go Ryobi go, you can do it little fella. The jigsaw that could.

[@tgvettes]

so the double front wall in the Garage is only for looks, non need for it for strength?

[@RobertBarth1]

Those drone shots are money.

[@tedspens]

When Covid hit most of my clients canceled work.... right after I took out a big business loan. Ouch! But I persisted and survived not only Covid but also my business. Now I'm booked for the rest of the summer and then some. I hope you and your family fared well during the difficult times.

[@donellweathersby9163]

Another banger, you guys stay safe and see you tomorrow for the roof

[@mattsalmon559]

bad ass. very clean. at the end of the day a good old bubble level, string line, and tape measure the possibilites are endless. keep on rolling brotha.

Matt to be completely honest my pops still goes back and checks my work . And I do the same with my sons work . I have had the joy of working with my father sense I was 13 . And my son has wet work my son for a couple years now . It’s nice to see the family vibe on another crew . Keep up the good work and great videos.

[@bogdanmihai4677]

Matt, you're the Man! I enjoy watching your videos. I learn everytime something new. Keep up the good work!

[@UpraizTricking]

Bro yes! Would love a full blown arch tutorial 🤙🏽

[@eduardogallardo9596]

Love your guys pace, not too frantic still very productive. I could definitely work for you guys!🤘

Love watching your videos and following all of your work. Bang on brother ✌✌

[@peterkiernan1668]

Good and useful video, please do a tutorial video showing how to lay out various arch’s in the real world setting. Keep up the great work and stay healthy, cheers.

[@danielrochaguzman2292]

Love the videos, Matt! keep on rocking. Greetings from Oregon

[@bobbond9730]

Great work.

[@wilkinsoncarpentry6278]

Looking good bro and I love how ya old man checks your plumb 🤣🤣🤣 so good

[@ramos95018]

Thank you, Matt, for showing how you cut and installed them Arches. I just may use your idea for my home in Santa Cruz CA.

[@hunsterd]

great video! turnbuckle from foundation guys for pluming wall great time saver.

[@stefboulas]

Great episode Matt! That was one of your finest work Will you share the installation of the door and windows in the arches ? Great work!

[@petee6476]

Thanks for all your hard work in shooting and editing your videos. Love them and you guys are true craftsman and care about your quality of work. Question in a smaller home is it easier to sheet the walls on the ground squaring them up then raise. I know they are heavier but if they are not big walls. I’m building a shop soon and that’s my plan and because of you I am blocking between studs. No one does that around here. Doing it Bang-On style!!!

[@SteelPenny67]

Absolutely beautiful arches, we also are cranking away here in Florida, all the dealerships near us are closing and even our parts warehouses are shutting down but since we are "Essential" workers we have to just take the risk, still getting paid so I'm ok with it keep banging on 🔨

[@matthewbourque3946]

Love the work you do man. Quality an efficent. I would like to work with you guys. Wish I could find a couple more young guys that want to learn an work like yall. I'm a contractor in south Louisiana. Keep up the work an videos man great content!! The best on KZbin. House is looking good btw. Stay safe out there.

[@ronaldpetrocchi4086]

Without a net, amazing!!!!

[@nonyabisnas]

Why were the arches sealed? Wont there be insulation inside?

[@MattBangsWood]

They’ll pop a block and stuff it, or hole and blown in (if they decide to), being California, they sometimes do. Sometimes don’t.

[@nonyabisnas]

@@MattBangsWood thanks for explaining, love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@pastorclaudia4054]

cant wait for trusses!👍🏼

[@mastertconstruction6651]

Good job and stay safe out there bro. We got shut down up here, but it’s apparently okay if you have a crews that less than 6. Lol

[@willlopez8650]

Great work matt. Can u do a full tutorial on how to calculate arches

[@PawPaws_Place]

Awesome as always. Could you do a short video explaining the concept of tying in two walls of different heights. My house plans have two wall heights. One is 9’ and the other 10’. How do they come together?

[@ryanc6324]

When we do layout up here for trusses we snap a chalk line from the marks on each end to hit the interior walls that way after it’s quick to go through and nail them down

[@MattBangsWood]

Ryan, that's a really smart method! Do you guys still run cat walks to keep things straight? On spans bigger than 10' we have to have a 2x4" through the center of truss to nail to for layout.

[@ryanc6324]

MattBangsWood yep I run a 2 by 4 every ten feet as well gable end walls I do a 45 degree brace from corner to the cat walk

[@denty32]

As good as it gets 👏👏

[@donforsyth9290]

Obviously you install the headers 6" higher so when you put the arch in, it is at the correct height. We have always set the headers at the top of the arch, but then we have 4 small corner pieces of sheeting to fill in. I like your way better!

[@saulmoreno3252]

Good progress man. Stay safe out there. Have you ever considered doing a jig for the router to do the arches? Kinda hard to explain on here but it does work

[@MattBangsWood]

We actually talked about it, it would work killer. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough of them to make it worth doing. We did a build in 2017 with 48 arched windows, and around 40 arches for the patio cover. Fun project! Would have been perfect then, but I wasn’t hooked on the router back then, so I cut it all with a skilly.

[@ronaldpetrocchi4086]

Magicians!

[@fredbosch5392]

Can you explain the reason for using one Simpson strong-wall in one corner, and two in the opposite corner? Thanks

[@j.carlozc.contreraz5476]

You explained it very well but I would love a clip on how to make an arch 👑

[@matthewdavix7645]

Why the double walls?

[@naserhm7290]

Why didn’t you work trusses at site?

[@jayrenovations1594]

What thickness are the osb boards you’re putting on the outside ?

[@wficklin]

Once a Dad always a Dad so surprises he checks your work. Lol Does the engineer normally require the studs at hold downs be knot free? I've seen failures in seismic events when wood studs have knots. Just curious.

[@MattBangsWood]

Never heard it, but I believe it.. Unfortunately the lumber yard we dealt with (out of our hands) was pretty bad. We had quite a few we culled for “NFG - No F***** Good” pile..

[@OBO2515]

Another awesome video Matt. Just 1question do you even own any Milwaukee tools cause all I see you use is makita, skillsaw,

[@campagnacarpentry3593]

What do you do with the scrap lumber

[@MattBangsWood]

Use every thing possible.. I’ll have less than a bed full of scrap when we’re done. 😊 Gets recycled.

[@tmiranda1379]

What? They won’t set the trusses on the top plate for you?

[@David-ls4qp]

How long are the nails your using for the arches

[@MattBangsWood]

2-3/8”! Same nails you use for sheathing.

[@davidhires9507]

You are fast

[@jbll36]

Hi Matt. Love those arches. Can't wait to see the trusses going up. By the way, what happened to Fox? Enjoy the day. Ray L

[@ajs96350]

Is that compressor a Jenny?

[@desertdogs247]

Here in Cali ,,we pre fab them below, to avoid all the reaching up..

[@MattBangsWood]

So you don’t nail the blocks to the header and trimmer?

[@mattambrogi6734]

good soundtrack

[@SteelPenny67]

Cost effective question, is it cheaper to have premade roof trusses made and delivered or build them yourself for a personal project, it's probably easier for a company to have them made but if you were to do it yourself would you have them premade or do it yourself?

[@MattBangsWood]

It wouldn’t be a hand cut roof, wouldn’t make the trusses. Just ridge and rafters instead of trusses. Depends on the project, we’ve done both!

[@SteelPenny67]

@@MattBangsWood Thanks I didn't really know there was a big difference between truss vs rafter roofs till you mentioned it, I'll do a bit more research on it ✌

[@TheTerryf]

good day sir i am in south america what does it cost for framing a house like this per sq ft thank you

[@MikeHarris1984]

What is the point of the double walls? heavy roof, or an architectural detail?

[@MattBangsWood]

Architectural detail, gives it a “big” appearance.

[@saulmoreno3252]

Those gotta be the easiest walls to walk! I'm jealous

[@MattBangsWood]

I joked around for a few days prior to trusses saying im taking the double walls. Truss day came, I got the double walls.. Definitely a cake walk!

[@jeremiahasoy5621]

Can anyone tell me how much would it cost building a house of this scale?

[@interesting7906]

What is the purpose of the double wall in front of the house? California...Is it like in the movies, so when they ram your house with the truck it doesn't fall down??

[@MattBangsWood]

Do they do that in movies? 🤣 I never seen that. Just appearance is all.

[@keeganmckeown547]

So COVID-19 has not affected the framing business in California?

[@MattBangsWood]

Yes and No.. All big projects were shut down. Anyone over 10 in a crew.. Since we're small, we're deemed 'essential' and allowed to work.

[@refiii9499]

Why not use larger sizes of wood to get the appearances bigger? Wouldn’t it be cheaper and stronger to use larger sizes and easier also to build one time compared to doing the same thing twice? Not trying to be a bah humbug legit question. I’m sure it’s gonna look sick when finished. Love the high ceilings and all this will be a beautiful home for sure.

[@MattBangsWood]

Well, it’s 2x12 at that point, which is outrageous. We’d have to use 12” header material at that point too. Would make the process very hard.

[@refiii9499]

MattBangsWood I got what your saying. I figured you have the lift and all would have been easier to build one time instead of twice the work etc. the framing is looking dope great job as normal with your crew.

It’s called out via plans that way, just doing what they’re after. 🤣 I’ll agree, there’s plenty of nails!

[@betterthanbeforehomeservic9698]

Watching this a second time and I just thought; why not use the router to cut out a circle to match the diameter of your arch, and then cut to right dimensions? I know plenty of ways to skin a cat as they say, but I know you like to use the router, and even I have begun using it more.

[@gatorb0mb]

Love the work as a fellow carpenter but as an ex smoker, those guys gotta quit! I get on my guys about it too

[@harolddouglas4057]

Why double window sills?

[@MattBangsWood]

Double sill is a must, gives you something to nail to for trim, even though this build is stucco, it’s common practice for us. Single sill went out in the ‘90’s here.
