Nice work Dave! Im a builder in NZ, the only differences I can see is here in NZ they make us put DPC on all bottom plates and between all timber and steel, and I usually see the nogs lined up, but staggering them is stronger as you mentioned. We are moving away from steel strapping and most things are proprietary hold down hardware. Even our trim studs get lumberlok screws in them, negating the need for straps. Keep up the great work and very interesting to watch. Great hustle from you and its good to see the high goal setting, makes a big difference.

DPC was my first thought also. I’m a chippy in Aus and always used DPC for external walls

Always enjoy watching your videos, even after getting home from working on site all day. Keep up the good work mate. Maybe perhaps a video of the boys and their tool belts?

Looking forward to the Hebel Party wall going in and your thoughts on it compared to other party wall materials.

Your channel is great dave, good onya for sharing your adventures. My only concern is around your use of PPE. Ive got a paslode framer, they are very loud. using them without ear protection has gotta have long term consequences for your hearing. Using ear and eye protection with power tools is a bit inconvenient but its a must in my opinion.

Are you smacking gun nails through the bottom plate into the slab as a temporary fix?

Do you prefer the dewalt or makita mitre saws? Also, what are the extenders you're using?

Great video. But you can't tell me half those off cuts under the saw wouldn't have worked for you 185mm "droppers" 😂

why frame windows on the floor? what if the concrete is dipping or out of level. won’t that reciprocate in the level of the sill??

@tomtcy 2 ай бұрын

The window stud openings are generally slightly bigger than the window reveals, hence the concrete being out of level can be offset by packing the openings to ensure levelness of windows.
