When framing for a door way on your plate, turn the plate over, make a saw cut about 1/2 way through the side going down on the concrete. When your ready to finally cut the plate out , your blade wouldn't be hitting concrete.

[@markarita3]

Yup, I do that all the time. I leave a bout ¼".

[@cyclopsvision6370]

so you use a oscillating multi-tool to finish off the doorway opening after the wall is secured in place? why not use the oscillating multi-tool from beginning to end?

[@whattheschmidt]

Sawzall doesn't keep it pretty clean? I've done some precision work with one....also poked through a wall on accident removing and replacing a stud in my bathroom.

[@brucetrottere5383]

@@cyclopsvision6370 Only problem is that the blade might still come in contact with the concrete and most framers don't carry oscillating tools

Awesome stuff... Apprentice carpenter here, I appreciate how much you're teaching me in your videos. There's been a few times I was asked to do something on the job and I knew how to because of you're channel. Keep up the good stuff!

[@MrChevyman962000]

As far as bug control goes, one tip I've heard was once you get the shell sufficiently dried in, and before sheet rock, sprinkle in the wall cavities some boric acid, and diatomaceous earth. The boric acid will get the roaches, the diatomaceous earth will get fleas.

[@proffd972]

And spiders. D-Earth takes care of them too. Both are not harmful to people like some other pesticides.

[@groovy1937]

Excellent foresight. I love diatomaceous earth and boric acid . . . I use it all the time. When I was 6 years old, my dad was transferred to Texas and he had a new home built for our family. I remember before the slab was poured they put some sort of treatment on the dirt/sand. They said it was to keep the scorpions away (this was central Texas.) I can't remember what it was but it is probably illegal now, lol.

[@danielbartlett2381]

Hitting exposed wood with a Blowtorch to carbonize the top layer helps with bugs also. Another old timey remedy is to brush on some tar also.

[@FaceFaceMan]

After years of watching Studpack, this video ranks #1 for pucker-factor! Great job guys. Rad has earned a free inversion table after watching that last wall lift.

[@AlAmantea]

Hell yeah, brothers! Nice job! Adding the Zip inside the rough openings is a great touch! Not only will that give you excellent weatherproofing, it also gives a great bite for the door frames. That's a full 3.5 inches to grab hold with fasteners. Sashco has really been a gamechanger for those that know! IYKYK!!! Lexel, Big Stretch, More-Flex, CleanSeal, ExactColor, Through-the-roof... best caulks and sealants out there in my opinion. While it's probably too late now, next time your setting a wall on anchors, throw some cutoffs under the bottom plate against the anchors. That will help prevent the bottom plate from bending the anchors as you rotate the wall into position.

[@chloerip80]

It’s so cool to see how your dad has progressed in front of the camera from the where you guys started! He nailed that outro. I bet it was the first try as well!

[@RJ-cc1fz]

Glad y’all are going upwards with this build. Tip for yas. Set the sill plates on top of the sill bolts and hit the top of the sill boards with a hammer to exactly mark the sill bolt locations.

[@brianhopkins5251]

that's genius.

[@DaveSParty]

@@brianhopkins5251 That's Larry Haun.

[@mr.g937]

How do you make sure your sill plate is lined up with your chalk lines? Seems prone to error

[@StudPack]

We almost did this! We thought there was a little too much room for error, and measuring didn’t allow that error.

[@RJ-cc1fz]

I use straight as possible sill boards then simply put my speed square at the chalk line and bump the board to the square. One person at each end with a square. Then hit the top of the sill board to mark exact sill bolt locations

[@leepennington11]

Hey Guys, One real important suggestion - Once your framing is done and the roof on, have the lower level frame walls sprayed with termite treatment. Will never wash away, and you have a lifetime treatment - I've done it with 3 houses so far and none of the houses have ever had any termite problems here in southern Louisiana -

[@ROgdenGOOS]

I love seeing Paul in his natural, comfortable element again.

[@evelyngorfram9306]

Suggestion for closing that notch cut for the standing pipe: get an offcut & drill a hole the size to fit the pipe, then trim the edges of the board to fit in the notch. That should create the "missing" piece of the board you would have had if you'd cut a round hole for the pipe.

[@hardlyb]

Great video. Happy to see you guys finally on to building. I appreciate that you show the real process - too many KZbinrs edit out all their mistakes an hiccups, and also have a million dollars worth of tools. I sometimes watch those videos, but I don't learn anything from them. I never miss one of yours. Thanks.

[@brianhopkins5251]

[@MrsOveata]

Gotta love how intelligent Papa is when helping you build anything. I celebrate your success.

[@92fsoakcreek]

Awesome. BTDT working with City/County and I know your pain and now excitement. My wife and I just finished framing and we used a "Wall Lift" to eliminate hiring a full crew to make and raise our 2x6x 10' walls. Go Studpack! Definately make a jig to lay out those bolt holes. :) Building anything? There is no such thing as overkill.

[@startupadmin540]

Awesome Mat Reisinger and the Build Show team are doing a collaboration, he’s a good guy to have on your side! ❤

[@mia4md]

For the plumbing cutout, you could glass that in with epoxy and fiberglass to keep the bugs out. Then be sure to cover the area outside with some 4x4 metal plates or width side 2x4 to keep those siding/zip guys from nailing into your stack.

[@bpmunroe]

That first nail shot with the compressor off sums up this project’s struggles perfectly! Glad to see framing happening. Square up the walls and add temporary cross bracing before the lift to help plumb everything a little easier.

[@robs1852]

Great job guys! Really nice to see the attention to detail. I suggest building that front wall in place. Put up the few studs at either end, then rig something up to help lift and support that huge beam

[@johnjasper3634]

I just passed final inspection on my rec-room to one bedroom apartment conversion above my garage today. It took me 13 mo with some trying times (rotator cuff repair). I am so Happy. Time for me to sit , watch and enjoy your adventure. Kind regards guys

[@jimjohnson660]

Pro tip, get some crushed concrete or gravel and build a driveway into the garage.

[@thomascannan1033]

Absolutley, it'll keep the place clean and will be part of the sub base for driveway.

[@tomclaypoole170]

Put down filter fabric first so the gravel doesnt just sink in.

[@Yutani_Crayven]

That's not a pro tip. It's an obvious thing.

[@StudPack]

We hear ya and we almost went down the crushed concrete road because we agree! The mud sucks. But we’ve been told by multiple people that it’s just a waste of money right now. It would cost too much for the little benefit it would bring right now. Too many deliveries. Too much water etc. we hear ya though.

[@Jack_of_1_Trade]

Or just place some plywood down. Done.

[@choimdachoim9491]

Nice delivery. Mine was slid off a long tilt-bed...truck backed up, dumped, drove away. Took about 5 minutes total. Had to unstack it all by hand.

[@wes5532]

Rain, mud, bureaucracy, inspectors, etc. You guys hung in there. Great to see those wall frames going up. Congratulations.

[@Wolfburns]

So pumped to see the walls go up! I am so excited for you all. This has been an epic journey with you all. I definitely came for the ultimate extension cord but I have stayed for everything that followed. Thank you all so so so much.

[@dallasarnold8615]

I am probably too late, but when anchor bolts are already in, I have always laid several two bys in place perpendicular to the wall to hold the wall up above the bolts while raising. Then start at one end removing and lowering. But in your case with the sealant in place maybe not. I also attach a brace on the outside stud that extends out in the direction of the top so it helps hold as you go up. Kind of like your kick stand pieces, but in the other direction. It will be helpful on the second story walls too. Once you get the wall up, you nail the bottom to the rim joist. Then it is there to help keep the adjacent wall from getting away.

[@anthonykuch4218]

You and the audience (us) waited so long for this video the like button is not big enough to smash. I feel so invested in the project it was truly satisfying to see. I cannot believe you are a rookie at framing as you had some really great ideas and forsight before putting the walls up. Rally looking forward to the next set of videos!

[@comictrio]

One of my first full time jobs was working at a lumber yard. This was in 1979 through 1985. The yard I worked at didn't have a forklift that I could use for deliveries. I used to make most of the deliveries at this yard, and I can tell you that we were busy. I used to build all the framing packages for new home builds. It was a lot of hard work but it was mostly a fun job.

[@canuckhorse5014]

I could feel Jordan's excitement talking about how it doesn't seem real and that this day is like a dream after everything he's had to deal with to get to this point. I'm right there with you and feel the same way after having been along for the ride.

[@groovy1937]

I love Lexal sealant and use it all the time. I always tell people to use it. It is great around the house and is paintable. I am glad to see you using it to seal the sill plates. When cutting the pressure treated wood, I would seal the cut ends with the copper naphthenate. Untreated end cut seems to be always the point where the carpenter ants start, in my experience, now I treat the ends and sometimes the entire board again.

[@paullattig8518]

Having worked in wood treating - it was always recommended to hand treat any cut or bored surface as the original treatment penetrates the surface and ends at an established retention which is not uniform due to varying wood density - the chemical used does NOT penetrate through the whole board/timber - LOOK at the cut and notice the color difference.

[@groovy1937]

@@paullattig8518 Yes, agreed 100%, penetration is not through whole board, an untreated cut is absolutely vulnerable.

[@tonyc7352]

Yes and the holes made for the bolts too!

[@x3yz442]

This is honestly awesome to watch people who don't do this all day everyday for a living. Super cool! Keep it up you guys. Make sure to square your walls. String it end to end. Square your corners.. Also just as a tip black chalk is way better for framing in my experience.. as you can make your holes for your foundation tie ins a bit bigger.

[@LoneOakWoodworks]

Great video overall! When the first wall went up I was cringing when the big hammer was used to knock the bottom plate sideways waiting for bolts to bend, but then it dropped on so ok... Third wall with the extra weight of the beam, not so much... 😀 One little framing tip at the exterior corners, you explained why you added a flat stud to make an L for sheetrock backing, but depending on exterior siding you may want more backing at the outside corners (you have 1-1/2" one direction and 7" the other direction) so you can add another flat at the outside to turn that L into a C or U (have heard it called both) and still access the inside of the corner for insulating. Good work! 👍

[@FastestSN95]

On the PVC pipe on outside wall, might use Butyl Rubber Sealant. Easy to work with. Best of luck guys!!!

[@billsmith9249]

Bora care to spray all wood for termites, and you can use boric acid and such inside the wall cavities... but for a more severe spray, Talstar P . Mix 2 ounces for 1 gallon and you will kill for about 90 days (depending on weather). FYI, it is deadly for insects due to the pyrethroid but once it dries, it is safe for humans and pets.

[@cocoawithmilk]

Love how you are still using your previous creations (super extension cord) to build your dream home/garage! Keep up the good work!

[@elmerkilred159]

The one thing you might not have given much thought to is to attach your bottom plate to the concrete first, then use an untreated buckled stud as a second bottom plate to tack into your bottom plate. This makes it easier to get level walls where cupping in the concrete happens, and sheet rocking laying is a breeze. I don't know why I hardly ever see double bottom plates put in anymore. it's where you can use twisted studs, because the weight at every 16" on center will force the stud to lie down straight. You don't have to line up seams and corners are lapped like a mitered box.

[@davilajonathan79]

Man, I didn't want the video to end! So excited to see the progress. Can't wait for the Matt Risinger collab! 2 of my fave channels right now! Keep it up fellas!

[@ab6318]

You should add diagonal bracing across the walls until you get some sheathing on the exterior. Strong winds can cause all of that framing to collapse.

[@timskufca8039]

hey, nice to see progress!!! SUGGESTION: for the second floor, look into Advanced Framing Technique: minimizes the amount of wood (less cost and more insulation). Basically it is 24" on-center studs with the roof framing stacked directly over the studs, which then also allows for a single top-plate.

This is so amazing to watch. Where I live if we are building on a concrete slab we do things a bit differently. Not only in how we d the slab but also the framing. What I learned and all our teachers preached was to never use treated wood in the house, not in the frames or anything else. It's only to be use outside for like deckings or fences, places that are going to be exposed to direct moisture. What we do is use and asphalt sill band and not that fome you guys have, It is really interesting to see how other parts of the world build houses. Also would be fun to see BearHug Merch.

Thats a really good idea to wrap the zip sheathing into the door ways. Ive never seen anyone do that but that seems like it shouldn't be done any other way

[@The.Real.Reaper]

Likely too late for your build plans, but we always prefer two side by side single car doors 9 ft wide, with a two foot post inbetween. That extra two feet spacing means less likely to hit the vehicle doors on the other vehicle. If centered entering the single garage door version of a two cat bay, both vehicles would be 3.5-4 ft apart vs. only two ft (maybe 3) on a double door 18 ft wide. Ask yourself if you like door dings and cramped spaces between vehicles in your garage?

[@StudPack]

🥲🥲🥲

[@nfix09]

should have temporarily screwed some studs over the big door opening, would have given the middle guy something to push on during the lift

[@MarshallLoveday]

That big door on the back wall of the garage is going to be great as a patio access/ entertainment area. Imagine: You're having a big party in the back yard. (Back garage door is closed.) Guests start hearing live music coming from inside the garage. Door rolls up and there's your favorite band playing their biggest hits.........
