Jeff you are amazing bro, thanks for all your efforts and time. Simply amazing.

[@pennymiguel9362]

I love how you explain the why as well as the how (and that you are entertaining). Thank you for all of the videos! I would love to see a video on ways to fix shower drainage problems (without ripping out the shower floor if possible)! Thank you for responding as well! Penny

[@givenhawk]

very well done. do more live demonstration topical q&a's.... golden format.

[@Dfg697]

Would love to see you watch and react to other home repair/Reno videos and point out good work and offer advice. Thank you helped me gut my basement and get started on drywall

[@danielverrier6541]

This is a good idea

[@brumby92]

I'm in Australia and I'm following along cautiously. There are many differences between countries, so far Australia and Canada seem to be remarkably similar.

[@namewithheld8115]

Canada is a lot colder. While that is a facetious statement, it's also quite true. I've seen a lot of Canadian videos where their construction standards and minimum practical requirements vastly exceed Australia. A good example if footings. Canada seems to require 4 foot deep footings due to the depth that soil freezes during the winter. This is generally unnecessary in Australia. Same with insultation. What is normal and acceptable in NSW, Australia would be mocked and derided in Canada because our needs are so much less than Canada's. One big area of caution is I believe that Australia's legal requirements for who can do electrical and plumbing work is MUCH stricter and more limited than Canada. However, overall I agree with your statement. I've been learning a lot from this and Holmes On Homes also.

[@brumby92]

@@namewithheld8115thanks for your insight . I've got an old Queenslander. Zero insulation.

[@pathfinderfilms]

I’m Learning! Thanks Jeff

[@skootles1]

Yeah. I brought the money pit house, I thought it needed a bathroom reno and ended up as a whole house gut and start over. Knob and tube wiring with lovely electrical splices wiithout junction boxes inside the walls and the like, Your channel has helped me avoid issues with my portion of the DIY that I feel comfortable completing, Especially drywall stuff. It has helped me a lot. I left the plumbing and electrical to the pros and I am so glad that I did. You did not mention in this video the importance of crowning your lumber. But cleared up the L stud and 3. Stud Mystery for me. You reminded me I really need to use nails on all the outside walls even if they were originally not load bearing because structural integrity and inspection scrutiny is important.. thanks for the great information Jeff.

[@LittleMopeHead]

I hear ya. I just bought a renovated 1971 home (w/ and updated open space kitchen) and thought everything was perfect, until I started living in it and noticed a lot of shortcuts the terrible renovation contractor did. House was inspected, but it's harder when it's a renovated home. Some big items include no hot water to the kitchen island faucet (contractor terminated the hot line in the attic and hooked both lines to cold), poor insulation in attic (contractors left open spots with no insulation) that needs an overhaul w/ air seal, new HVAC is so loud on the supply side (most likely needs to be reconfigured by professional), all doors are not properly sealed and squared, etc. I'm a big DIY'er and I have been fixing some of these items myself thanks to this channel and other channels as well.

[@TracyBetts12]

Glad you guys were safe!

[@Kialamendes]

Thanks

[@SandiRose2008]

I'm watching the video now. That storm you mentioned in the beginning of the video caused my electricity to go out at 2pm and it didn't come back on till 7. So I missed the Q and A. Guess I'll see everyone at the next one. I'm enjoying the video! Thank you!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers Sandy. glad to hear you are safe!

[@claytonharwood4060]

Hey Jeff, long time watcher first time commenter. When you where measuring and saying to know the length of your tape measure. I use a method I feel is simplifies that. Both require addding. Maybe you will find easier and use yourself. 10 inches is the magic number Measure from one end in 10 inches make a mark. Now measure from the other end get your exact measurement and add 10 inches. Perfect Everytime. Hope you enjoy this method Clayton

[@danielverrier6541]

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INFO

[@yeshuaismessiah9046]

Hi from Australia ! Thanks for sharing!

[@mrupholsteryman]

Learned something new! THANKS!

Hi from Tampa fl.

[@juanverduzco8085]

Watching from México 🇲🇽

[@ehhh11]

the timing of the release of your videos are almost spooky. They always seem to line up with what I have going on. Thank you so much for all your expertise, you are a true no BS professional.

[@watuzi]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. For the ceiling, how do I know the orientation of the 2 x 4 since the Sheetrock is on top of it. I always get mixed up

[@neilkirschner3271]

This video os going to help me a lot. Thanks. I’m going to frame my basement. Should I pull up glued carpet first? It’s really thin and I’m not sure if I can frame right over this or not.

[@jonathanconway1439]

I am always confused by your 16 oc. You say mark an X on the side of the 16" mark, making the stud sit between 16" - 17 1/2". Isn't a stud 16" oc supposed to sit between 15 1/4" - 16 3/4"? Can anyone explain why Jeff does this?

[@williamlazaroff5478]

Just for the lack of dust and time I would use the scab method 1000 times out of 100

[@chrisgoldbach4450]

Untreated cedar sauna for the basement would be nice to see. I'm really tempted to rent a truck and get some wood but i dont know a thing about carpentry. Just started purchasing tools at auctions to kind of force myself to man up since i never had anyone to teach me.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Welcome to independence Chris!

[@lovemittenmama3197]

I have questions about an attic conversion in my modular home. It's on a foundation. Would like to use it for a playroom and extra storage. I've built a bedroom in my garage on my own. I feel I could do the attic conversion on my own.

[@jeremiahulishney5322]

Question on interior walls that are not 90 degree corners. How big of a gap can you have between the studs in the corner that won’t effect finishing the drywall?

[@Pallidus_Rider]

I would like to know how to frame a ceiling. My Dad's 1948 house has a detached garage with 16 on center walls. There is no framing for ceiling, which I would like for extra storage.

[@markmagner8000]

hi jeff im wondering how the membership works when joining your channel thanks

[@mgabbard]

15:15 Now I have images of mice blowing up and catching fire in my walls - LOL!

[@MillsElectric]

How much money did it take to do your shed from start to finish?

[@maximusmaxwell100]

Is there a code for nail size on non-load bearing partition walls. Everything I read online says they need to be 3.25 inches length 16d (0.148 inches) diameter but the only framing nails for nail guns in the store are 3.25 inches length and 0.120.inch diameter. Am I missing something?

[@abhijitboda]

checked

[@josa9902]

Hey mate, how come you dont use stud adhesive ?

[@AngelPerez-tc9yb]

👍

[@pennymiguel9362]

How much is your membership please?

[@tristanmartinez2667]

Jeffe had the bit extension handy, bet the guy who asked the top plate question felt a “bit” stoopid 🤡

[@mandlakei3053]

if it looks like you did it yourself ungh 😬

[@tristanmartinez2667]

Scabbing the stud also prevents rolling of the top plate resulting in a flatter upper floor. This is real world stuff, when framing an entire house no one is going to the lumber yard and picking out lumber one piece at a time. You work with what you have and try to use common sense and critical thinking.

[@moogfooger]

I love your channel and your content. But......I am so confused. It seems like you have changed your ideas about materials used and what is best for a certain project so much over the past while that i dont know what to believe. An example is subfloor for a basement. In one video you suggest drycore, In another you use a vapour barrier type material. I know things change a lot but my problem is what is the best materiald depends on how old a video I am watching from you. Like I said, confused!

[@alibong00]

It depends on budget. But also state of basement conditions. IE age and amount of moisture management needed. Also what type of thermal break you want

[@moogfooger]

Thanks for the reply I appreciate it Cheers@@alibong00

[@jakecrib9971]

What's wrong with driving 12 or 16 Commons? Toe nailing studs ?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

nothin gif you have the dexterity with a hammer. Cheers!
