CUT TWICE MEASURE ONCE!!! BUILDING A WALL

[@chrisastin184]

Mike's intro music feels like when the main character in a horror movie realizes they are in a horror movie.

[@SameToken777]

It really scares me

[@mikearsenault6396]

I was just about to comment he needs to change the opening music lol scares me every time.

[@chuggyhuggy8783]

I think it matches his truck blowing smoke rather well lol

[@WHOOOWEEEEEEE]

I bet his favorite tv show is American horror story lol

[@domlimited1264]

It epic next idea is make a horror skit with Ryan Tomich, Big Ray, Eric

[@Klingon2468]

Well for someone who says he is not a carpenter you did good work, I have put up a few dry walls and I couldn't have done any better. What I like about your channel Mike is it's different every time, you keep me interested. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TT-ik3kd]

A few drywalls 😂😂😂🤣 scary

[@kevincollins8014]

Been here since your first video and I'm definitely not going anywhere. I don't comment very often but just wanted to say I'm glad you're back and everything is going good. Keep up the great work Mike and thanks for sharing whatever you have time to share. Blessings to you and your family always.

[@AMWSERVICESLLC]

Thanks for watching!

[@LaughingRandomly]

I remember when you removed the truck steps, you said both you and your wife were kinda tall. The first video passenger is your cute tiny cousin, struggling to get in. Lol Enjoy your vids, Mike 😉😎

[@br549rdr]

So cool to help family🙏🏻 your a skilled young man Mike. I bet you can’t wait to show your lil man all the tricks to the trades. 😇

[@mike18421]

Great job Mike!! Your family is very lucky to have you!

You are becoming quite the handyman, Mike. Can't wait to see how you expand your business in the future.

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!

[@skeena59]

Hi Mike and Fred. Good on you helping fam!

[@Stevo8800]

One thing you learn as you do more carpentry is that not much will stay perfectly level overtime because houses tend to move with the ground. And some move more than others.

[@vridemafia790]

Sorry ass carpenters say that

[@micahbush3877]

Great job Mike keep up the great work. Nice of you to help her out

[@randy6081]

well Mike if the temporary CEO of AMW Services Fred trusts you ( he will be COO of AMW Services once the newly born CEO is old enough to take on his corporate responsibilities haha ) and the mini cousin trusts you with your work you did its all good, big thumbs up Mike it looks great you did a good job today and it helps out your cousin too so i am sure there wont be any coal in your Christmas stocking this year and maybe Fred will get some treats in his stocking to enjoy this Christmas since he does such a good job always too lol.

[@citizenplane5840]

Why is everyone hating on eric in the comments. If you dont like him dont watch. Hes his own person let him learn from his own mistakes. Yall are something else. Way too invested in this.

[@P4p4Smurf]

Why you hating on people hating on someone. 90% of it IS valid. And constructive criticism. It's the internet. If people see you do something, expect to be called out.

[@DOMiiX16]

i'm a small business owner in window cleaning in germany. you impress me everyday 🙂 keep going with your videos! greetings.

Vertical level is called plumb If it’s a bed room it needs egress

[@texasroper]

solid wall...

[@zachchampine5101]

I have that exact same hammer drill/ chipping hammer. Thing is a beast.

[@89Johneboy]

Hey! Im not sure if you care of not but I believe those floor plates should be the floating style.... Since the basement floor and the floor joists move independently from eachother, its best to do a double bottom plate with a 1.5 inch gap between them... Then you pound a very large nail through them and remove the 2x4 spacer... Then they float on those nails.. You just dont screw or attach anything to the very bottom plate, except itself to the slab. Cheers! If you want to lookup what i mean just google "how to install a floating wall system"

[@NicholasPiparo]

I live just on the other side of the block from your cousin. Small world!

[@jaysom2240]

Not a carpenter, but try to be once in awhile. Thanks for that screw tip where you held the 2x4. Good idea.

[@nyccowboy7563]

Your cousin was a great sport.

[@brettusmcvet777]

Hey good trick with that screw on the other side of that stud!

[@AMWSERVICESLLC]

Working alone I come up with some creative ways to help me out haha

[@trevorkimberlain2644]

Not sure if it’s the same in Wisconsin but where I’m from the walls in basements have to be a floating wall. Glad to see you got treated lumber for the bottom plate. You guys should do the electrical first if she’s adding outlets in the new wall.

[@daaneel]

how do you make it floating? no anchors in the ground?

[@trevorkimberlain2644]

@@daaneel well you have a bottom plate on the ground with anchors in it. Then about 8 inches off the ground is where your “floating wall” starts. You gotta hammer in big spikes to hold the wall to the bottom plate.

[@joedirt7119]

All right, all right it is what it is

[@wayneday3916]

Hi Mike, couple questions. How tall are you? And is Wisconsin as flat as it looks on cam?. Nice job on the wall you didn't over think it like I see a lot of people do.

[@AMWSERVICESLLC]

I am 6’1” and yes for the majority of Wisconsin it’s flat but we do have areas that are hilly

[@BrunsBassSlappin]

You drilled right into asbestos floor tiles to put your sleeve anchors in.

[@ClearShotYoOfficial]

Hey bud. Why the double bottom plate? And also you should tapcon into the mortar for better grip. But for not being a carpenter, did a good jobby job.

[@AMWSERVICESLLC]

To be honest i don’t know why i did the double bottom but it sounded good in my head 😂

[@ClearShotYoOfficial]

Mike pleeaseeeee dont make a swuare line then cut with ur square do one or the other … also for the ends of the wall near the duck u should have ran a full stud down on both sides then u just fill in the middle

cant believe Eric posting 20+ minute long video of him buying tarp and wrapping his truck, like how did he think that would make a good video in his head.
