Max received a great gift being able to intern with you all. You guys are just awesome. The attention to detail shows you really care about your work and delivering for your client. I just wish your videos were longer. Even 25 minutes like today felt like 2 minutes. Keep up the great work!

[@jmazoso]

I love that they have taken on an intern. Such a "give back to the community" act.

[@umakorn]

Hope they will continue with the internships. And the vdo did feel awfully short today, which means good editing!

[@CPO-Snarky]

Not only that, but they also care about one another. They are a very cohesive crew out to achieve the same goals through sustained superior performance.

[@clubsportr08]

Spot on mate.

[@kylemcweeny878]

He's definitely gonna drop out! 😅 once you get bit by the bug that's it! I could never sit in front of a computer all day when I was his age! Maybe he will become an entrepreneur.

[@willvenable4274]

Max is a good dude. Just a quiet soul who likes to throw a good dip in, play the banjo, and build stuff with the boys. I wish him the best!

[@leonardzielewski2744]

You guys are awesome to offer Max the opportunity to work with you. Shows your character and your interest in helping others

[@Aunty-A]

Wish Max would stop stuffing his face with cancer before it’s too late. He has no idea what he’s going to look like with half of his face cut off!😖😖😖😖😖

[@L0rdEsedess]

Not only am I going to miss MAX... But He really did luck out with his Summer Internship. Not only did he get to work with PBB the whole Summer, but he also got work alongside STUD PACK as well when they came up to help out. What a wealth of knowledge & Experience he was able to get over the Summer.

The gravel numbers are from the American Public Works Association (APWA) specifications for gravel. There are #1 to #9 gravels with different sized and ranges of smaller sands and gravels. #57 is a standard size that has a maximum size of 3/4". #67 has a maximum of 1". #57 and #67 are the typical coarse gravel in concrete. #89 is pea gravel. Your concrete truck ticket will tell you how much of each of these material are in each batch. They all have to have s specific amount of each size of sand in gravel. The gravel pit can actually give you a lab test report that shows you what their material is, and that it meets the specification. Any of your gravel/sand products will have this

[@trentscott9991]

Thank You

[@PaulMikna]

Yes, thank you - very helpful!

[@ninabooker2904]

I’m relieved that Jamie is a modern day carpenter and not a medieval stonemason trying to build this winder staircase. Seriously, I would be proud to have y’all build my home. Your care and attention to detail is outstanding 👍 We are going to miss Max, he was blessed to have learned from the best. ❤ Study hard Max, make the crew proud.

[@Mee10792]

In the UK, the triangle shaped treads on the stairs are called Kites.

[@DieGoetterdaemmerung]

I know it's obviously not the same but where I live there is a old chapel from the 1200s that is mostly a ruin nowadays but it has a tower with a spiral staircase and it has to be the worst staircase on earth, it's very narrow, it's not the size of the tower so it doesn't go from 'wall to wall' but up a column within the tower and then on the other side there is just the abyss that makes you drop down to the base of the tower if you miss step, the step height is also awful and not uniform and until like 15 years ago there was no handrail. I had to walk up that tower every sunday during summer to ring the bell for the outdoors mass we held. So I can't even begin to express my gratitude for every person that puts time and effort into building decent stairs haha

[@frdmbe9258]

Bye bye Max, enjoyed your presence with the PBB, may your summer internship experience prove absolutely fruitful as you return to another year of higher education. Hey, you got a summer tan, built more muscle, chewed tobacci & laughed alot w/ the PPB team. Take care!

[@timgriner8995]

That chaffing with the circular saw to taper the angle was next level. I’ve never sen that.

[@thasen42]

I wish Max well in his training and life. Thank you PPB & crew for everything you have instilled in him. Best of luck Max! 😊

[@ossifiedprophet7495]

Watching your video for two years now, never dull. The part of world I’m from, building house with wood is a big no no so really interesting to watch these wooden houses being made 👏🏽

[@rayyoung7780]

I have a staircase in my home like Jamie was building and I am an old guy who doesn’t sleep all that well and I go down almost every night in the semi darkness (I get some light from a porch light that is on from 10 PM to 5 AM ). Whoever lives in that house will thank you for going to the trouble you did. 😇 Love your channel. Always fun to watch.

[@FredD63]

Sounds like a good place for motion activated stair lights

[@JakeV.I]

I'm with you @RayYoung7780 - in childhood homes (primary + lakehouse), so many times up + down stairs in pitch dark, I still know every inch of those stairs.. every single grove and every time spot that may ignite a sound, when trying to sneak around quietly! Think most people develop this kind of memory, especially if wood stairs and not carpeted.. right?🙃

[@SBauiLund]

Really nice job guys, god speed from a carpenter in Denmark. P.S can you PLEASE have Arlo come back and visit you at the jobsite, and give him a proper "Arlo assignment" and film him do it. I miss him. Best regards Sebastian.

The walls are comically tall! But it's going to look glorious when finished. What a house build this is...

[@andrewwarren6389]

57 stone is a collection of stones that are retained on the #5 and #7 sieve in the sorting process. #5 having a 1” opening and #7 having a 1/2” opening. (Edited sieve sizes based on some corrections to my original research)

[@JacobEdmond]

So why isn't it just #7 stone? Is there a #5 stone that doesn't pass thru the #7 sieve?

[@SwedishDIY]

To only keep the #5 and #7 you need to do it that way. Otherwise, you get the really fine particulates in the mix. And I'm guessing here, but I think that they want it to drain down to the pipes. (You get poor drainage if you have fin particulates in the stone) just like normale road gravel.

[@JacobEdmond]

@@SwedishDIY ok so it's basically a mix of #5 and #7 sized stones?

[@evansmiller2595]

I call BS dude... convert 4mm to inches MUCH less than 3/4" so there's NO WAY. Typically #57 stone is around 3/4. Where I live #57 and 3/4 washed are pretty much the same. Maybe you meant cm not mm.

[@SwedishDIY]

@JacobEdmond yes i think so. That is what it is in Sweden. I'm not too familiar with the American gravel/stone industry, but I should be the same wherever you are.

[@TheFrehley1]

This video was a step in the right direction!!

[@g3saskwatch]

W on hooking Max up with a bunch of tools! Hopefully we see him around when he's in town.

[@Aunty-A]

Jamie sure loves a challenge! Amazing work on those stairs bro!!!! Super amazing!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@thomasmitchell6921]

I know this project has been massive extra work for the whole crew but, it has been the most interesting and a complete pleasure to watch. Thanks Guys

[@carolewarner101]

Wow Max, you lucked out getting to apprentice with this crew! And it appears they really appreciated you too. Might be hard going back to all that theoretical crap in school after such a fun, interesting, hands-on summer, but stick it out and enjoy college. Then you can come back to construction or whatever you want when you're done. At the beginning of this project the scale of it made it really hard to imagine how you were going to build it. Then it took FOREVER just to get the dang forms up for the pour. But look at you guys now! She's really taking shape and standing tall...literally. 😂 I guess building a home of this scale is a lot like eating an elephant. You just take a bite and start chewing! You all are inspiring.

[@skip4scrap]

When talking about stone, the number 57 refers to the size of the sieve used to sort the stone: The stones must be small enough to fit through a 3⁄4 inch opening but not less than 1⁄2 inch, resulting in crushed stones sized 1 to 1.5 inches. The stones are roughly 1 to 1.5 inches in size, with individual stones that are approximately the same size as quarters and nickels

[@tiny9614]

I watch Ambition Strikes on KZbin and have mentioned you guys a few times to them and now they are mentioning you back. So, glad y’all KZbinrs are sticking together. BTW the pint glass and hat are great and love the Stud sticker!

[@CrucialArmitage]

I'm writing to express my appreciation for your channel. I'm new to your channel, but I've been watching construction shows since Bob Vila's time on This Old House and have seen many construction KZbin channels. I must say, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They are informative, entertaining, enjoyable, and educational. Thank you for all the videos you produce. Having made some videos myself in the past, I understand the effort involved. Please keep up the great work and continue sharing your excellent videos. Best regards, Peter Lokke

[@johnking8679]

I totally agree with your comments CrucialArmitage - they're funny, too !! Gotta get my daily dose of those "Perkins Brothers" and colleagues !! 🤣 👍🇺🇸🥸

[@Junior-rz3ox]

Great videos, I have been watching for over a year. I enjoy the tips and watching the progress on the houses. The HVAC in our house I walked with him through the house to plan it. Each room has a return so the duct is smaller and there is no restricted flow if a bedroom door is shut or something. HVAC guy said he has never done it, but it was a great idea.

[@mumighisolfo]

Thanks for building with us Max!

[@ramellesmith1520]

Max, great job! Glad you got some tools. Good luck with your classes. Hope you learned a lot and a great time working with those guys~

[@stanhawkins1023]

I grew up in a granite town. My father was superintendent of a quarry and granite plant. Granite aggregate is sized from rock dust to jetty stones. ‘57s” is gravel that supposedly contains only stones sized 5, 6 and 7, with 7 being the largest. It is a widely used product. Other than sand, the other most widely used product is crusher run, which a combination of gravel and soil. It compacts very well yet also resists erosion. It is often used for a road base or sub base.

I just finished watching KZbin channel "Ambition Strikes" and they mentioned referencing "Perkins Brothers" at least 3-4 times when trying to figure out they're latest disaster in buying a property and finding out the house can't be saved so now they need to learn how to build. You guys are helping others more than you know.

[@carlustownsend7588]

The best channel on KZbin. Never a dull moment watching you guys build houses.

[@user-my5rw8nc9l]

For the window rough openings, my drawings show the ‘nominal’ ROs and once I got the window order information I took the time to write the actual ROs on my set of drawings (in red pen) so I wouldn’t have to keep getting out the window information. I had less window types than you all are dealing with, so I bet doing that would save you way more time than it saved me..

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

The architect made a huge oversight of the stairs! Any staircase that has a turn in it should exclusively turn to the Right as You walk up for the following reasons: Most people are Right handed and leading Right leg So using the inner hand rail with Your Right hand is naturally easier. Your leading leg does more work on the inside of the corner. It's the same coming down. Easier for a Right handed person to go down to the left. But more importantly its home defence! An intruder with a weapon in the Right hand going up the stairs to the Right turn has a major disadvantage due to the angle of the weapon being on the inside of the turn as you look round and up. The home defender from up the stairs xoming down to the left turn with weapon in Right hand on the outside of the corner has the major advantage! You did a very good job overcoming all the challenges on 1 day labour. A lot of thought was needed for that preparation Good job

[@philobeddoe7760]

As always, a perfect blend of info and humor. Thanks to the crew!

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

Going to mis Max for sure, he's such a great young lad!! I was so fortunate to get to do some time with you guys, I'm sure he learnt much more than he bargained for. In Australia the maximum run for steps was 13 steps (back in my day) unsure if that is still the case. I've built a lot of fantail decks & treads too over the years, they can get a bit tricky but awesome when done well! Your steps look great!!👍

[@tracy.mankey4562]

So proud of that young man you guys taught him a lot❤

From an Arch'l PM POV for Comm'l...I am amazed the plans you are using made it through permitting. The least to be provided would be some plate heights. I never like to tell a GC how to build something unless code specific, but I definately tell them where I want/need things to be horiz and vert. I have a computer, those numbers are not hard to get and put on a drawing. You guys are hella patient and amazing.

Max was a really good team member. Hey Erik, spend $10 and buy a draftman's scale. Leave the big tape in the pouch. Draftsman's scales come in a dozen different types. But, you can lay it down and get 1/4: 1(foot) measurements, easily.

Excellent video excellent work. ✌️

[@YoutubeTM432]

i thought i heard that the purpose of the code requiring a landing on long stairways is to give you a stopping point if you should take a tumble. so you don't keep falling and falling forever. I believe there are codes requiring tempered glass in windows at the bottom of flights of steps too in case you should fall down the steps and impact the window.
