This is the third episode of a new series where I will be working on these two houses from start to finish. the goal for this series is to cover everything carpentry related, from framing the entire house, to doing the lock up, fix, fit off, decks and pergolas
We finally have some decent progress as we frame up the first batch of walls on this build!

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.

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

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

Hey how do you fix the frame to the slab?

@awesomedude5477 Ай бұрын

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 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.

Why don’t you guys just use steel braces? Just curious

The "hoop iron" is steel bracing mate

@@mattyk82 I’m in Sydney, like 80-90% of carpenters here use this brace. Dave is from Melbourne and I tend to see they use hoop iron most of the time

@@xXiiBetI’m in Melbourne as well. I don’t do a lot of framing these days I reckon about 10 years ago we used to use this type of bracing a lot but I haven’t seen it in a long while here.
