Construction of a MEGA sized Modern Home PT 56 | Pocket Door and Stair Framing

[@jefff6167]

Really appreciate that you guys are willing to show us the your successes and failures. Very classy.

[@oldgordo61]

Not only that but willing to show it with the homeowner right there. And that says to me that Brock knows they are highly skilled pros in building houses and has full confidence and trust in them.

[@juanmunoz8847]

I still believe you guys are a group of comedians that happen to like to work with wood! That's why I love to tune in for every episode.

[@ramellesmith1520]

Guess y’all miss your Cardinal Coffee deliveries during the Modern (retirement) Home Build! That stuff had me cringing! Grateful for infotainment as always PBB and crew ~ ❤❤❤

[@emilechap8573]

Stairs are always tricky to build. Especially when you don’t build them everyday.Calculations have to be perfect, Winders are even harder to build. Great video, great job as usual. Thx guys.💪💪👍👍

[@Mecknificent]

It's hilarious to me how even the pros can struggle with stairs. I appreciate you showing all the trial and error! I think I spent a month cutting template risers out of foam board before I felt brave enough to cut into a proper 2x12. Thanks for the video!

[@ryanrents126]

I have a good book on house framing. About 25% of it is on stairs, about 25% is on rafters, and the rest covers everything else. I believe that's pretty indicative! It's nice when you're the framer, the trim guy, and the flooring guy so you can think ahead when building stairs and hopefully avoid a problem months down the road.

[@aaron.silveira]

What’s the title? Always interested in a good construction book!

[@imaginationingrained]

😂 jay cage dancing! lol 😂

[@rondriggers2755]

Its hilarious watching y'all. At the same interesting and informative. Thanks much guys. get Jason a tutu

[@Gantorin]

My boss received his Perkins tumbler that a coworker and I bought for him for Christmas since him and I both watch your content. He loves it. Now I need to get something.

[@kennel1102]

Got a kick out of you guys talking about accidentally drilling into a pocket door. I did that once and beat myself up over it. Glad to hear the pros have done it as well!

[@DannyFinley-qg9ct]

My Dad has always said "fix it and move on". I tend to get frustrated when things don't go as planned, but I always remember his saying and it helps. Great video guys! The house is looking awesome!

[@albertorozco5981]

Jason dancing up in the " birdcage " 😂😂😂

[@lizjuneston4015]

Yes, that was super cute. BUT build secret-something in that cavity!!!!

[@billybike57]

It’s crazy that you can make construction enjoyable and interesting without having to worry about losing content. Thanks for your always great vids!

[@DevonLevack]

I wonder how much time making a video adds to the time of making the house?

[@iamjesper]

@@DevonLevack maybe they work at a fixed price, that would make things simpler. maybe they also deduct a small sum as a "filming license"

[@MightyMog80]

That whole story pole thing was a journey😂🤣

[@TrevonHall-lw6or]

I’ve never been this early to a video! I admire the quality and detail that you guys put into your builds and videos. I can’t wait to see this finished house!

[@marshalltille7770]

Stay tuned. Completion is scheduled for the 5th Tuesday of February in the 13th month of 2026. 😂

[@rrebaza]

Me too got just 19 minutes after being posted

[@philomenahearn1717]

Wow those views are going to be stunning from that house

[@apdj94]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1243">20:43</a> that’s a good lesson for any job, any task, anything

[@thomasmitchell6921]

Best Build Series Every episode is different and interesting

[@jefff6167]

Our home has two pocket doors, both are original to the home which was built in 1961. They work great, never any problems with either. Guess they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

[@TheGreatRandom]

Do you think the drywall crew is watching this wondering if they should run from this one. 😮

[@cherrypieforbreakfast1499]

As straight as this house is? Naw, they'll be good. It's a good-sized house, but it's made easier when you don't have to measure everything top and bottom, and there's solid backing everywhere.

[@marshalltille7770]

Nah, they are all ‘busy’ until 2018. Not including hurricane repair.

[@karenrasmussen1505]

How does someone drywall a 12ft+ ceiling 🤔 😮

[@cherrypieforbreakfast1499]

​@@karenrasmussen1505 Off scaffolding. Did it many times when I was drywalling. We hung some stuff that was so high we were standing sheets on end and boosting them upward off of second story landings. There's always a way.

[@marcusjohnson8739]

Just got my Perkins tool belt today🎉

[@tedspens]

The project is really moving along. Pretty soon we'll be putting windows in!

[@jacobecorder]

I did the 3/4 subfloor on my pocket doors to make em stronger in a 2x4 wall. It did work well and stable

[@danhunik7949]

When I installed pocket doors in my new house I was advised to take the hardware bad and staple it to the door jam. This way it wont get lost in the shuffle. Also dont forget to install the rubber bumper door stop in the wall.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

That’s a really good tip

[@omantoodle2437]

Fantastic video. The stairs are very complicated…thanks for the insight

[@bernardtenpas9493]

You can cut those aluminum pocket door tracks with a skill say. Much cleaner cut and way quicker. It also won't damage the rollers when they get installed by the trimmer.

[@debby8428]

Another great video! I am very interested in pocket doors so this helped a lot. Also - yes stairs are a pain in the behind. Glad we aren't the only ones who struggle!

[@thasen42]

I love watching every episode and the laughs are great. Thank you

[@bionicman6969]

The thing about this old red mountain clay is the more you try and trudge through it the more it stacks up and clings to your boots and refuses to come off, swear I've had 10lbs of it clinging to each foot building in SW Virginia Tennesee and North Carolina but love these mountains.

[@baldyoldfart5828]

in the UK a rain day is where everyone goes to the pub...

[@moonpie21012]

That’s every day in the UK😂

[@marshalltille7770]

Wish I could join. I’m not in construction, but what the hell. A nice hole in the wall with cold beer and basic food.

[@Galerak1]

Comment for Jay - For peak sarcasm, when receiving a drink that's only half full you use the phrase "Ya know? You'd sell more if you filled 'em" 😉🤣 or... ask if they have any scissors so you can cut the top off and make it look full lol

[@moonpie21012]

“I frickin broke his wood” 😂😉ouch!

[@Mike-p7e]

Hey guys! Cut an old work box for a plug into a pocket door one time. Stay safe now! Mike Peabody,Massachusetts 8:23

[@TheGreatRandom]

Pocket doors are great until you need to install a towel bar on the wall and screw into the door. Or scrape it up trying to use a stubby screw 😅

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Yep… haha!

[@bigvegass]

I used 3/4" ply in the Johnson pocket door frame. That and the sheetrock, it's ery sturdy and you can use 1 inch screws and they hold like mad. Johnson makes a clip to hold and screw the plywood to the metal frame. 1515-ply is the part number.

[@marshalltille7770]

Nope, never happened. Joking.

[@StevenCampbell1955]

Get yourselves a work THERMOS lads. It saves all of that messing about with getting coffees from gas stations. Boiling hot water always ready to make a warming cup-o'-Joe.

[@munkydotorg]

Both loathe and love pocket doors. They are great until they are not. My old house had one for the kitchen that broke shortly after buying the house. Got jammed and wouldn’t fully open or close. Cut out most of it with a sawzall, ripped out the trim and boxed in a new finish frame, permanent opening. Fun times.

[@karlshomeremodeling123]

I glad to see that I am not the only one who goofs up on stair stringers. Sometimes I think I get this mental block with the numbers and then I am just like frozen. That's even using my construction app. I think if the construction app could speak it would be laughing at me. Good job

[@johnval8777]

Glad to finally see a JCB on site

[@3phil]

Can't miss watching you guys .😅😅😅😅🇸🇿🇸🇿🇸🇿🇸🇿🇸🇿🇸🇿🇸🇿

[@langtrybuilt3899]

Get rid of the Johnson pocket door! I hate pocket doors myself as I do exactly what you guys do! Invest in a cavity slider , it's a bit pricey, but you won't be disappointed... Great videos!

[@pamelahousley7543]

You guys are a hoot - love following y’all’s channel.

[@tii2015]

That was a fun video! Great job!

[@chrismorton9736]

Hey guys love your show..... For that unusually high.... closet you could build a mechanism to elevate the close giving double the closet space.

[@1packatak]

I bet there is some kind of closet rod system that would be used in a handicapped housing situation that might work. Great idea

[@gregsidel3557]

Thank you for the video Eric and Jamie and the crew very good

[@skunkhome]

Stairs can be a real pain. Nothing like tripping going up or down a set of stairs that was laid out in properly.

[@creylacoste4981]

Leave the ceiling out of that coat closet. Left the rock guys that you want the inside finished to the roof. If you could hold a straight face and film it that would be HALAROUS

[@jkleem4234]

The ol chimney chase rock job

[@TheGreatRandom]

Great episode!! ❤❤❤ so much done and so much left to go. 😮

[@jcrotty18]

For pocket doors we only frame with LVL regardless of lumber dimension to ensure they stay aligned and are easy to mod in the future.

[@albertsandberg]

I had an old pocket door with nail marks from the panel shot on the wall :D So yeah, happens all the time.

[@1leggeddog]

I installed a pocket door for my bathroom and im super proud of that

[@jakee793]

Jason is a menace. 🤣🤣🤣

[@andrewoakeshott8931]

In the best way possible....😂😂😂

[@matthewcoon1836]

always great and enjoy watching you

[@IronSikh44]

The coat closet could have a ledge on top for some nice display items. Hard to dust but would save having to build an empty cavity at that height. You guys are very patient dealing with the audibles being called on the fly.

[@will_i_am_7205]

Back in the 80s this super had this new guy help with the punch out list. In the master bathroom he had to cut a hole in the wall for a recessed medicine cabinet the drywall guys missed. This was one of three show models. It was painted, carpeted and furnished. The guy came and asked me to help. We went to the trailer, looked at the plans. I had him write down the measurements then watched him mark it out on the wall. I gave him my truck keys to get a jab saw and moved on to the next house. I went back to doing trim. He grabbed my sawzall instead. He cut the prettiest pass through hole into walk in closet. I'll bet he didn't make that mistake twice.

[@maria_sophia]

Wouldn't mind if it would take another year. Love the 'slow' progress❤

[@harveyheath9109]

Damn you should hire me to build/ frame your stairs, second nature to me!!!

[@donovandavidsonAlton]

That was fun and very enlighten my day.

[@hoosierrifleman9633]

Pro tip. Rip LSL's or LVL's to dimension for your pocket door studs. Dead straight and you dont have to use self tapping screws.

[@tirthmewada7558]

i just love what you gaiz are doing. love from India ,your videos are really informative and entertaining also . It's really different kind of construction as compared to here in India where every thing is made out of concrete and brick . Gaining information from your videos keep up the great work .

[@VACatholic]

I hope Jamie appreciated all the helpful hints you were giving him.

[@NGUNOW]

Thank you for the video!

[@rockysaan]

Big fan of a channel, always looking forward to new episodes! That said, I'm not sure about the new intro format. Just wanted to share my thoughts, but I’ll keep watching regardless because your content is always top-notch!

[@KletteTech]

I nailed right into my pocket door with putting it to trim. Has to be common.

[@lizjuneston4015]

Also, pocket doors rock - to me, peeps freak about light switches .. but if can figure-that-out, the rest is easypeasy, and well-worth-it!!

[@FeelingLikeThatNow]

I install cabinets, and even though I know to watch out for it, I have also hit a pocket door with a screw, and I think pretty much everybody who builds has done it at least once.

[@Roy-yt2bt]

When we did pocket doors, we would use the track that came with the kit. But throw away the studs that came with it. And we would use lvl studs for the actual studs.(Strong and straight) But we only did pocket doors in 2x6 walls.

Great team that seem to have a lot of fun, look forward to every video! The choice of your sponsors makes absolutely no difference to me, I’ll watch your videos because I enjoy the content and the antics of all involved. Keep up the great work!

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

You guys are crazy love your videos.

[@spridgejuice]

probably the most abstract episode yet - verging on surrealism

[@sportcoatjoditv7148]

I can't believe I'm sayin this but at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="342">5:42</a> was a pausable moment 😂 !!!

[@chriscampbell9195]

Great video! I think it was more a reflection of each brands lead and not so much the pencil itself though. Which pencil felt best in your hand? Which pencil do you think will hold up over time? Which sharpener worked best? Which pencil would be your go too and why?

[@barrywood5357]

At least one calamity per video to give it some perkins brothers creedance nice one boys

[@bobruddy]

cavity sliders! check them out. super easy to install

[@richyrich11]

Well I'm glad I'm not a drywaller in your area right now :D

[@rrebaza]

Hello guys, ya make a great show. i was wondering how much does a House like that costs Completely finished ready to use. I live in Lima Peru.

[@jaym1244]

I had to replace my deck stairs last summer due to age and wood rot. I initially used the old stringers as templates but because of rot and shrinkage over the years, the templates proved to be incorrect. So had to do some measuring from scratch. Never measured and built stringers before but after some research, I was successful in my measurements. In fact, I did so well, I decided to make a second set of stairs on the opposite side of the deck. That side was not as easy. Completely different height so I took what I learned from the first set and made the second set of stringers. They were off?! WTH? Ya, building steps is kind of a pain. I got it on the second try but seeing professionals struggle makes me feel pretty good about my experience in building steps.

[@TheAsjdj]

Love the new intro. So good!

[@glenlongstreet7]

In that tall closet I am sure that Jamie could design a closet bar that went up and down.

[@heavyd7623]

Yall call it a rain day there here in Good Texas we call a rain out where go back home aka the bar

[@andrebraga]

The house is looking beautiful guys! Why don't you put a skylight at the top of the stairs?

[@shephusted2714]

building stairs is not easy sometimes - you will finish this one up and hopefully get another of these big builds #razor boy

[@tommcmichael8679]

Don't forget the loss of 1/8th inch when you use the cut out on the stair stringers.

[@misterwhite9262]

I will never not respect staircases because of watching your channel. Another great video.

[@michaelmunro2820]

The rule of thumb for stair tread and risers should always be as close to possible 7" rise, 10 " tread

[@RichardPerfectKiwi]

We have a pocket-door into our kitchen. I put up a spice-rack paper towel holder (I made) next to it and guess what, screwed into the pocket door.

[@bobbray9666]

I did a lot of research for what pocket door frame to use in our new home built in 2022. I settled on Cavity Sliders and we're happy we chose them. All aluminum frame that won't warp and ball bearing wheels that move like butter. I did the install and it was easy. We have 96" solid slab doors that are very heavy and the Cavity Sliders shrug the weight of these off. In the home construction business, it's important to know options out there and tell your customers because I doubt most will know. Cavity Sliders is an Australian company that sells in the US.

[@harveyheath9109]

Most of the pocket doors I've installed have been in 2×6 walls. Take the supplied "studs" and screw them to ANY 2×4 the "track" is 2" so just use regular 2× on each side with the supplied "studs" screwed on the side and voila rigid wall

[@andrewoakeshott8931]

Hoping to see what if any smart wiring gets installed

[@RossReedstrom]

Mounted a new microwave above the stove in my kitchen. Went to close the slider into the dining room: Doh! Screwed right into it.

[@chainscdmc]

Sometimes you just got to know when to roll credits before something else goes wrong.

[@hopeisenough1317]

I wonder if stairs having a different rise will cause tripping. I remember a video back in the day about nyc subway stairs, but that was only 1 stair being out of wack.

[@lizjuneston4015]

Good video - b/c if me, I'd buy pre-built stair-products and not fuss with the cutting. But do like the determination - it's like teaching kids to do math manually (so can, if ever need to), while possible to just get out a calculator or phone app!

[@Ashandaeri3]

Erik. Please please PUHleeeease. Do a drone fly through of this house when it's done. Just to get a smooth walkthrough. You can fly UP the damn stair case. It's not even a stair case. You could put a rock climbing wall in there.

All in the math and preparation. And you have to be precise

[@ankursinghkashyap]

Was going to sleep, but had an intuition that it's probably time for new upload, and here we go 😄 I am from India BTW, where construction is with steel, bricks, mortar and concrete that I have seen, so not sure why I watch this channel from so many years dedicatedly 😂
