Bought a nail gun in May and should start my sheathing next week once I move the materials to the site. Haying delays, Rain delays, Heat Wave Delays (tool/generator bans due to fire risk), and family issues. I’m currently left with the puzzle of a 160lb woman getting 84 sheets of 5/8” plywood 16-35’ off the ground. General labourers here charge $60/hr, and have 8hr minimums 🤦‍♀️

Thank you for these videos! Your explanations are easy to understand. Do you need two different types of nail gun for roofing? A framing nailer for the sheathing and then a roofing nailer for the shingles? I'm replacing my garage roof this week. A video on different nailers and what they're useful for is something you could do in the future! (I read a bunch of articles, but they're a bit vague. There seems to be a lot of overlap with some of the smaller types.)

lithium ion batteries have been a game changer for power tools. I can't yet speak for the framing nailers, but the Ryobi trim nailers are surprisingly incredible. No more lugging hoses and compressors or fuel cells. The larger 6Ah batteries might last through the day, but I'd probably get at least 4 batteries. Judging from the trim nailers, and the fact that your compressor can't keep up with your speed, I wouldn't expect the battery tools to keep up with you as much as the pneumatic ones. The trim nailers are quick by novice standards, but definitely not as fast as a master framer.

I've been watching several of your videos. Getting ready to build a garage shop this summer. I have a question. Those spacers that are 25.5" - what do you do with those? It looks like you're setting them in place to keep the distance true between trusses, but do you then remove them after some of the bottom sections of OSB have been installed? Seems like it would be a pain to hit them back out. Thank you.

I use a cordless gas paslode framing nailer and I’m never going back to hose or battery. It’s so light weight probably lighter then my 6 1/2 cordless saw with 4ah battery. And by the time u run out of juice you probably worn out and need to take a break. And the gas and battery are light weight and small enough to carry on u. I build entire shed with one and 10 years later without touching and I build another roof with it and it pick up where it left off like nothing happened. A 450$ nailer isn’t really for small projects. It is expensive for using it but it worth it without having dragging hose and messing out with air compressor and air and battery nail guns weight a ton

I had to figure out how to support the trusses for wall replacement( which all exterior walls are always load bearing). So I asked my Boss who is a General Contractor and we used a LVL beam and Jack posts to support the trusses. About a 20ft span from the gable. Worked excellent. I've already replaced the sub flooring, rebuilt the wall and now I'm working on the roof ( note the house is over 60 years old and wasn't cared for properly) now I'm having to do the fun work! Lol.

@@TheExcellentLaborer dang! I thought it looked steep for a 4/12. Are you planning on making a video about installing roof shingles? Either 3 tab or architectural shingles? I'm looking to install 3 tab on my house in the near future and your videos have helped me tremendously.

Instead of 46.5”, why not put facial bird first then put sheathing on? I am building my first roof. Just curious.

Milwaukee framing nailers are great…just two things they are god awful heavy and clumsy, but one battery last you at least 1/2 of heavy nailing or one full day of moderate…u will need 2 batteries last u all day

It is a 7/12. These were trusses that were prefab on the ground and were set with a crane. So they do not have lookouts

Yes cordless Dewalt framing nailer does jam quite often. Been trying to see what makes it jam, sometimes at a slight angle and at other times straight on. Jams can clear quickly ( remove the battery, as instructed and keep your Allen key in your pouch)
