Best to be able to an expert in not just one trade but many is how to build a house from top to bottom. Knowing how to draw up plans, set septic tanks , form and pour the foundation , framing , roofing . Sub out elec. , plumbing but be able to drywall. And learning how to wire a house is not that difficult either. That way you dont get burned out on any one trade. Scrounge up enough money to buy a lot and build a small 1600 -1800 sq ft one story , truss roofed spec. and get it built and sold within 6 months. Take that money and roll it into the next house. Thats how you make money .Working for wages is ok but your always dependent on a boss. Shitcan the boss and be your own boss.

[@davezanin1863]

Yup, sounds right, get a generals or maybe even an engineers license and your set. Maybe even know people who can draw up the plans, you general the house and like you say sub out trades you don’t needa make that much money on.

You're speaking my language. However, I've worked with plenty of guys that only want to show up and get paid at the end of the week. Some of the hardest workers I knew were like that. It takes a different mindset and financial discipline to run a business, even if you're solo. If you have no desire to take on the responsibilities/stress of being a boss(besides wanting more money), get great at what you do(get certifications, experience, become efficient, learn new trades) and find a company that is willing to pay what you are worth. There's pros and cons to both working for big companies (benefits+, politics-), or small companies (more likely to hire with no experience or teach new stuff+, less job security or room to move up-). The smaller the company, the more likely it is you can get 'equity' or become a partner if you want that sort of thing and are willing to take on the same risks and rewards of the owner. It's not the easiest thing, but I know of multiple 2 partner companies that crush it together. It's kind of a mix of both are employees and employers. The best partners seem to have opposite strengths and weaknesses of each other. If you're young, be honest with yourself about what type of person you are. Its probably self evident and shouldn't take much convincing one way or the other. Its possible to make a decent living either way. There's plenty of work out there if you're good. Sorry for the long post.

I respect there are differing opinions of quality, relative to construction plans and allotted time / margins, etc. Coming from a position of humility, I’ve felt the macho “I do it better than you” and “my way or the highway” attitudes underscore all the stigmas and everything that is perceived as wrong with the trades. I’d love to hear some of the heretics / framing savants say: “hey, thanks for the video. I would do many things different such as: xyz.”

Biggest thing keeping me from considering a switch to trades is worrying about the culture. Different opinions don't have to mean putting down someone else's work if it does the job. At the same time, always gotta be open to learning new stuff. That's the kind of world everyone benefits from, I think.

Not too many willing to do it , and not too many understand how mentally /physically tiring it can be .. It's Real Work !!. Every job I ever worked on how it's level of precision it dials in .. Some want it built like a Ferrari and others just want it snapped together . Swinging from rafters and sheathing a roof like a wildman .. That used to be me . Don't be bothered by my comments .I am a master carpenter and I teach . . The things I noticed that I would say to any Wallbanger . I prefer to lay my studs flat when nailing them in gangs . Nailing together while not flat can create a laminated bow . . Barked edges I try to nail together facing each other since it might be a jambs edge or a 3 stud corner .. Always try to hide the ugly . I also have been known to go ballistic on the angle on which a nail is driven . Generally most use 3" in Hitachi's so a slight angle of 10 degrees prevents a hook nail .. Too much angle and not cinched up will create a gap that can bit me in the ass . And I always aim to nail 1" from the edge . because of cupping . Some different styles everywhere just in nailing two studs together . There is 2 on top and two 2 below with a zig zag nailing . Some just zig zag top to bottom .. Some nail in sets of 2 anywhere from 16" to 24" on 2x4 . and 3 on a 2x6 . I prefer to smack my headers /kings and jacks together first so I won't have to fight it , After components are in then the friction of the plates keep the studs standing while I go down the line like Chicken Little . I am well aware that not all methods apply in every situation . Years ago I was known as Bang Bang .. Bang that damn wall together !! . Many are unaware how hard framing can be . To be quick and to be mentally quick , Because every carpenter of any count I have worked with , and can get things done is a valued carpenter .

[@framingbeast720]

Probably the best comment yet. Awesome insight from a carpenter that's clearly been doing this for quite some time. Lol 🤣 I like the chicken little ref.

When I got there . I didn't know they already had spent 2 days framing .. 4 exterior walls ???? .. That's it !! and they still had to move window and door jambs . The Ole Sawzall of Doom . . I'd expect this type of accuracy and production from a homeowner or a weekend warrior . But not carpenters that claimed they been doing it all their lives . It was a nightmare working with these idiots. Every time I made a suggestion or showed them an easier way .. " No that won't work !! ".. It's a breeze when you got everyone clicking , The cut man not only cuts accurate but you don't have to go through a lengthy explanation what the cut is . It's an understanding !! . Without even looking . A good cut man knows what the other carpenter is measuring from . A good carpenter can call out something and the cut man doesn't have to have a detailed pictured drawn to understand . Of course , There are cuts that get wicked especially on funky parts of a roof . I have worked crews and on crews where everyone jammed . Then I have worked on crews and lead crews that everyone was stupid and slower than a glacier . Years ago I was working with one crew and the contractor handed me a set of plans to help him bid . He was so excited when I told him the number but told him " You presently don't have the Firepower ". You basically have baboons with toolbelts with the intellect of pocket lint .. So it would be a disaster . " If these guys can screw up Hardi-board this badly ,, Forget trying to get in the league of ultra custom " .. When you got a good crew .. It's like jamming in a band ..

This is framing. If you think super precision is in order then you need to be building fighter jets or something else. There was no frame in this video that showed inaccurate framing.

wow .. so many things wrong .. you don't "mark out lines" That is called "laying out" also you never bothered crowning certain studs.. which will give your walls with studs with opposing crowns which will give curves in your walls and have fun hanging cabinets on those walls built that way. You should have had the three plates stacked and used a combination square to lay out all plates at the same time and all plates would have been cut to the correct lengths .. also you created a post not a beam .. and you also create "headers" and king posts. .. all these terms are basic building trade terms that you do not seem to use.
