[@CarloPicaldi]

This book is Awesome! I love the Lean-To-Shed the most (page 98). The plan kzbin.infoUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR is to attach it to the back of my brick house. I also like how they walk you through the many different steps of construction, which is important for the less experienced like me.

As a person who makes some of those plans: please, please, please, give feedback. My job in CAD is to give you the information you need to make those decisions quickly and with confidence. If there is ever ambiguity, I need to know what was confusing, and what could have been done better. It may not make your job easier to give me that feedback, but the hope is it will make the next guy's job easier if I don't make the same mistake again.

Isn't it a good idea to provide the builders a 3D model of the house so that they would have a better way to see what they are building?

Matt Thomas, Right now I'm a lowly CAD processor for a countertop company in Utah. Before that, I was a mechanical drafter for a firearms company in the same state. I know codes exist, I just have never needed to work within their bounds. But I am a fast study. In several months I could learn California building codes, if you could direct me where to start learning them. Yes, I'm interested in your consideration.

After reading the comments it sounds like people are trying to use your videos as a how to. I am pretty sure that is not what you intend. I enjoy watching all of them and picking up tidbits here and there that I did not already know and in some cases learning better ways to do things. People need to realize that building is not the same for all locations and climates. Keep it up and I will always keep watching.

[@johnlcallaway]

I watch them for those little things that one doesn't learn unless one works with other experienced people. As a self-taught home DIY guy, the videos have shown me those little tricks and I greatly appreciate them. The other thing I gain is confidence. I'm building a 14x8 shed from plans. Watching the videos has been a great source of 'Hey .. I can do that' inspiration.

Having been in construction and maintenance for 47 years, I can attest to the fact that things seldom go according to plan. There is always some little gem that the engineers throw at you! That's when you really find out how creative you can be, while still maintaining structural integrity and meeting construction norms! I have had to do that on every job I have ever done, from building wastewater treatment plants, to building my own home and everything in between. Keeps life interesting!

[@fredroehl956]

I have to agree with you about the railing you put up , I've seen guys get vertigo turning around at heights above 6 ft and while it won't stop that the mental barrier is like you said better than nothing, also adapting to a situation where something like plumbing needs rethought to accommodate what is needed I'd have to say it happens on almost every house I've been a part in building, we build custom homes here in Alaska and it's always nerve racking when all your walls and roof is complete and the homeowner walks through and wants to change something and most of the time it isn't a simple thing but that's why I truly love my job and I have honest pride in my work and I strive to be a better carpenter then I was yesterday I appreciate your time sharing your process down there and while I'm armchair quarterbacking sometimes because of being heavily production minded it's a great place to explain the process to those who are not builders, excellent commentary on the house and may God continue to bless you and your family

I like how you mentioned that electrical, plumbing and HVAC have some wiggle room. As an electrician, there have been plenty of houses where due to code, how the walls were framed, or if the plumbing or HVAC were scheduled in the house to be electrical some things had to be changed. I have never wired a house where every outlet/switch/other devices were located according to the prints.

love your videos, I used to help my dad frame up homes back in the 70's & 80s. But then I went a different path started running my own roofing business for about 20 years. Gave it up and started to working mechanics in Home Depot Tool Rental for the last 14 years. I could sit and watch your videos all day, love how you explain everything in detail so clearly. I have to admit I have learned a few cheats off you. But today I have a question, I always put 3 nails in the stud bottom plate and top plate going into the studs. But lately I have been seeing a few contractors only do 2 in each end. Is there a need for 3 or not. I can see the inside walls maybe only getting 2 nails in each end but not sure if that is good for the out side walls. Or maybe if outside walls is 2x6 walls 3 nails and 2x4 walls 2 nails. Reason I am asking is me and the wife is getting ready in the next couple weeks starting to build our own home. We will be doing all the work our self. So your feed back will be grate to hear.

[@chadslawson]

New EC video. Time to stop what I'm doing and watch!

[@deezynar]

I've been listening to this video while I've been drawing a plumbing plan for a new house. I want you to know that the deep thinking, the head scratching, and the agonizing, are not just things that plans induce in you builders, us folks who live on the design and draft side agonize over plans too. Yesterday I was putting the dimensions on the same house, and realized I better put big fat notes on it that point out that the parapet walls above the porches do not line up with the porch slabs below. The parapet is 2 inches back from the slab, and that is not typical. I try to think about how the contractor is going to build the projects that I draw, and I'm completely aware that I can draw things that can't be built in the real world. I am always thinking about the individual pieces that go into a building and try to make sure that they can actually be put in, and where I've drawn them to be. Yes, sewer lines in multistory buildings are priority items, even having the power to force plumbing fixtures, even whole bathrooms, to be relocated. The goal of a conscientious designer is to do all of the relocating while everything is still on the computer, and NOT in the field when things have gotten mostly built. Ductwork needs to given room to live as well, and that comes as a big surprise to some people. We do almost all slab on grade stuff where I'm at, so one issue that comes up at times is making sure that the water heater pressure and temperature safety line can be routed to the outdoors. If the pipe can't be routed to an exterior wall inside of one or two walls, a floor sink has to be installed. And a floor sink is an added expense that good planning early on could have forestalled. There are at least a hundred things a designer has to keep in mind while laying out a building, and if you miss one early on, it usually becomes harder to fix the further you go with the drawings. I am extremely grateful for CAD. Manual drafting was fine when you put something on paper the first time, but making changes could be a nightmare.

[@nybirdman]

Here in NYC, the top rail has to be able to hold 200#/LF. So it you put an upright or post at 8’ in center, that’s 1,600#. Easiest way I’ve found to do it is to get some 4x4 angle iron as posts and drill holes for cables at the top rail and mid-rail. Toeboard at the bottom. Just be careful with the pull out forces at the base of the post. In wood, it might be 4 carriage bolts. In concrete, we usually use a couple 3/4” anchor bolts (expansion) or drilled and epoxied (stronger). The only cautionary tale I’ll tell is to cap the top of the angle iron, Ive seen some nasty cuts. 2x4 capping and you’ll have a safe, OSHA, and ridiculous NYC compliant handrail.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

[@GarlandSuseberry]

Thanks for showing the mistakes that do occur even after doing your homework

[@essentialjudge2279]

It's a good looking frame. All plumb level square and parallel. Here you have to fire block at 8ft. So I would sheet the bottom laying flat and the top walls also with sheeting hanging over to capture the rim and top plate and framing plate. It works great ive done it for years. The most economical way to do the sheathing starts with the layout. Start on the back wall on the left side hook your tape measure go 15 and 1/4 drive an 8 penny nail hook your tape there and go 16 all the way down the wall. And of course locate your windows and doors cripples and tremors. then when you sheet start the plywood all the way at the Left End of the wall and it'll run all the way through and break perfectly everywhere then take a router to Windows doors gables. on the inside if you take the sheetrock cut the thickness of the wall off then the sheet should break all the way across the ceiling and when you get to another wall you should take the remainder of that she and cut off the thickness of the wall and it'll start back in the other room and brake on all the joice. Same with the walls.

[@kgsails7102]

That railing *is* important because it will stop someone from simply stepping right off the edge when they inevitably get tired and/or distracted. It's not perfect but will definitely prevent the most common and easily preventable falls. Adding another board and a couple kickers would take care of the strength side of the equation.

[@austinpatrick2682]

The mind game of the railing you mentioned is real. I speak from experience, your depth perception of where the edge actually sits is wildly handicapped when the back drop in your view is an uneven ground a significant and unknown distance below your feet. Especially for the inexperienced or uncomfortable, it takes more brain power than you might imagine to accurately perceive the edge. Your rail design is brilliant for that purpose. It's not there to catch you, it's there to keep you from touching it.

As for wall corners insulation. Rock wool or any other thermal insulation loses its properties when compressed. It has it's engineered properties like thickness and density that should be maintained during the installation. It's a common mistake that cramming and packing tight the insulation makes it better. No, on the contrary. To much compression interferes with water (humidity) circulation within insulation. So if the wool gets wet it won't dry. Wet insulation is no insulation.
