Framing with I-Joists: Techniques and Advantages 120 part 5

In this video, we demonstrate a framing technique using Roseburg I-Joists for a floor plan. We explain the advantages of using I-Joists over sawn lumber, and showcase our methodology with a step-by-step guide. You'll learn how to boom out I-Joists, how to place them flush with the backside of the wall, and how to firestop them with an uninterrupted bay for easy insulation. We also talk about the misconceptions surrounding I-Joists, such as their supposed danger to firemen. Whether you're a professional or a DIY enthusiast, this video is for you. Watch now and discover the benefits of framing with I-Joists.
The tools I use and recommend acmetools.pxf....
Now its time to start scattering and cutting I Joists. For this site, the most efficient way to go about this, was to take the @Roseburg I Joists off the hill and set them in place. It is much more efficient to handle them once and cut in place than handle them multiple time and pull multiple measurements.
Every time we pull out a tape measure we can get something wrong. In addition, who wants to handle long I Joists? Not me.
This is part 2.
Please remember that I'm not showing the best way to do anything, but just the method that works well for us. Thanks for watching!
Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like KZbin if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course sso.teachable.... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.

Great vid! The middle panel is called the "web" and the top and bottom boards are the flanges.

[@coreymenning]

Another great video, Tim! I love being as efficient as possible so I really appreciate you showing cutting the blocking with the I joists laying in place and then cutting to length. Great work guys!!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

I really enjoy watching you guys. I've framed, not as much as you I'm sure, but there is a satisfaction in getting that house put together, it's like a puzzle. And good tunes!

[@mariocabral421]

I framed for many years (installing cabinets now that I am older)I miss the framing. I was framing the same way you are now it brings me back to great times and yes the son being out is great. It's funny when 39 -46 degrees is like summer time.

[@seanmahoney2231]

calm good trait shows confidence in understanding plan layout Thank you

[@skervvy]

Great job Boyz. I wish I had a crew as good as yours

[@AC.Prince]

Don't know what time of the year this was video, it's June in the in Southeast, and it's horrible hot , each yr it seems worse. Great content. I've been a fan since JLC

[@JasonLuther1]

l love this channel. Frame on!

[@NDEfireONE]

I would've said well works been good so I been eating good as well 😯🤣

[@aidanwilliams1607]

Cool, Another Exciting Video

[@SP6X6]

I use a big 12 with web filler screwed under ,sits on web for quick square cuts, saw base runs on it also so no dip down cutting

[@sroyal76]

I love all the video. I am learning sooo much. After only 5 hrs I am pretty sure I could build a house lol jk

[@carstencroessmann]

@4:06 I Joists are for sure less wood compare to heavy timber beams. But I bet the whole Stick building consumes more wood compare to timber frame building and much more fire resistance for very sure, because of it's mass even metal beams collapse earlier. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany the timber frame country

[@AwesomeFramers]

I was in Switzerland last summer and you all in Germany and Switzerland do a fantastic job building.

[@carstencroessmann]

@@AwesomeFramers I know we wrote us a couple of YT Vids ago. But no worries you too, don't blame yourself buddy. Have a great Sunday I did roofing today rebuild the Pergola of my father in law. Peace out

[@Qscarpentry]

On that outside wall how you raised it to flush with the rest of the i joist, would you do the same on the next floor with I joist? I’m curious because I like that detail and I have 2 floors going up that I would like to do the same.

[@joshuajackson8112]

I’m considering using I joist I will be putting these in my crawl space in a northern ca home…is the OSB in the joist more subject to rot or decay? Over dimensional lumber? Our area is rather dry and the crawl space will be to code spacing and all that I’m a fan of the straitness and nailing surface and the length these can span just wondering about that one area of these I joists thanks!

[@thomas3139]

That's sweet man! Your form is looking great, but we need everyone to start swinging a hammer from the shoulder! Using their whole arm and not just their wrists ! If you could do a short including this would be great chief!🫡😎

[@AwesomeFramers]

I don't agree

[@thomas3139]

@AwesomeFramers no? Those floppy wrist swings are no problem? I guess it doesn't really matter as long as it works for you is what you're saying ?

[@freedomforamericans1174]

Do you guys ever frame with manufactured trusses? If so would love to see some hip roof content

[@AwesomeFramers]

Nope, all hand cut

[@joshuavanalst2365]

Where do you get your sdws timber screw. Please let me know.

[@terminatorxtreme]

''I'' joist like that, partition the fire so well. That make me laugh how so much fire specialists outside talking about framing when they put polyurethane everywhere. A basement unfinish with polyurethane on everywall ? firefighter will not have the time to get to the house before it looks like every scene in Dune

[@Dempdawg11]

You're an awesome portly framer. . lean into the bit

[@Dempdawg11]

I still want to spend a week on the job with you

[@jameshruska273]

I wonder if you could use a track saw to cut those ends off and that would allow you to move across the I-Joists easier vs. hopping the saw to get over each flange as they come along? Food for thought? Love the videos hermano :-)

[@AwesomeFramers]

Absolutely you could, though I don't know if its better/faster. Be fun to try though.

[@freedomforamericans1174]

Hey love the content! Im curious is this the fastest way you have done them? It seems like it would be a hastle cutting on the walls

[@AwesomeFramers]

When they are long, we save a lot of time this way 👍

[@freedomforamericans1174]

@@AwesomeFramers thanks for the feedback

[@gregorymacneil2836]

So I like everything you do - But I have to ask - Why didn't you just drag (or push) a large garbage can along the scaffold deck you as you cut the joist ends off and pick the can off the scaffold deck with the crane when you finished? Great video!

[@AwesomeFramers]

Certainly could, but its less effort to just quickly clean up on the ground. The garbage can gets heavy

[@alexanderkonczal3908]

​@AwesomeFramers way too easy to underestimate how fast scrap weight adds up, isn't it?

[@anthonyjohnson-dd1ln]

I always told people I jiost suck at 19.2" layout. You can't stack the studs on 16" centers.

[@wcbscout]

@awesomeframers Are you still thinking positively about the fort waynes? Im about to pick some up, they are locally available and decent boots have been a real struggle for me.

[@AwesomeFramers]

Yeah, I'm loving them 👍

[@wcbscout]

Thanks for letting me know! I have a very similar build so your input means a lot.

[@kule510]

How often do you change your skillsaw blades?

[@AwesomeFramers]

Not all that often. I use Diablo blades and usually after we've hit a few nails the cut is really rough. Maybe once per house?

[@bradleyhumphreys2874]

Sounds like Ryan Reynolds

[@robertcavaglieri1755]

Your statement that the comments that say “I joists are fireman killers” is patently false, I submit is patently false. Yes, there are many methods that can be used to make these assemblies safer in case of fire such as sprinklers, application of gypsum, mineral wool, etc. but all of these are attempts to remedy the fact that trusses of all types lack mass, and mass equals fire resistance. Even the APA video you referenced in your video shows that in tests, unprotected trusses fail much faster than dimensional lumber when exposed to fire. It would be nice to think that all of the buildings that use truss assemblies are protected in some fashion and remain so during the life of the building, but that just isn’t the case. Since their introduction over 50 years ago, there are many documented cases where firefighters have been killed or injured by trusses assemblies that have collapsed much sooner and more completely than a structure framed with dimensional lumber. The fire service recognizes the value of trusses and understands the reasons the building industry uses them extensively. We also understand that they will be used even more extensively in the future and that we must adjust our tactics accordingly. What this has amounted to in many cases is what we consider “disposable buildings”. These are buildings where, once we make sure that the life hazard has been eliminated, we limit our exposure to the danger of aggressive interior attack and make sure that we aren’t under or on top of the imminent collapse of the building.

OMFG it just like hit me ..80s pop songs young men cheer full personality ....is your hubby a mason???????????painter right you husbands a painter

[@ldmasterlast]

I've seen too many sacks of bricks abating industrial furnaces. Not fun.

[@kirkdunn1379]

Framing is never accurate....nail 2 2x4s together and see if you have exactly 3", lol.......always error on the side of under.....esoecially window and doors

[@beachboardfan9544]

Floor truss > I joist

[@AwesomeFramers]

Next house, same floor plan, we are pricing floor trusses. Stay tuned.

[@MrSteeDoo]

Sure if you want to spend a lot more.

[@beachboardfan9544]

@@MrSteeDoo I dunno, when I built my addition, it was like 500$ more for I for the floor trusses. And I probably saved that money in labor when electric, plumbing, and hvac were run.
