How To Remove a Load Bearing Wall

[@korycoster3586]

The look on Ray's face says it all. Being able to reach out to a company like flat is awsome

[@dwaynegreen6082]

I'm personally a fan of every part of the renovation... so please keep showing as much of as possible.

[@joehart3826]

It's all about the BroScience.

[@russellsneddon7692]

Ray checks out, accepting a gift with the first words “fuck off” tells me he’s a full blown kiwi now stamp the passport he’s in.

[@more.power.]

As an apprentice I was sent to get "left hand screwdrivers" "skyhooks" "post holes" "Fetch me a long stand" "Go get some striped paint" anyway well done Milwaukee power tools. Ray is a awesome bloke thank you Jess & Scotty. Cheers

[@kevinbowden1155]

Proper builders reply from big Ray about the new nail gun. 😂👌

[@ozsavage]

"F*#k off!" - Ray I laughed so hard.

[@SB-dv8ih]

Best wishes to your mate Paerau. Hope he’s on the mend soon

[@Texburrito03]

No need to apologize! All of this is interesting. Walls coming down, demo, etc. I am invested in this for you and your wife, not for a "before and after" video. Keep up the good work!

[@connormatthews522]

Love how speechless Ray was haha

[@iainarthur7713]

Ray is 100% kiwi - response to great gift 'f**k off!' :)

[@theeuglyduckling9476]

One doesn't realize how consistently you watch these videos until it's not uploaded regularly. Thank you Scott.

[@Akaqibs]

“A few moments later”, as Ray was using his new gun for the first time, had me anticipating the worst hahah!

[@taakahiborell7037]

I was thinking “surely he didn’t drop it from the ceiling 🙉” haha

[@massimilianopalmo8611]

That was really awesome of you guys to reach out to Milwaukee to get him a replacement nailer. And great that they responded in kind. I just bought one and know how every dollar counts. Cheers all! And Ray is a real asset to your channel.

[@rjt135]

Just need you to know how much I appreciate the tracking match cut at 4:41. Great stuff!

[@deathdeny]

A lot of us are here for your personality, not just the reno, so just keep giving us more of you!

[@ronwallace7563]

Not all walls are the same, so I do enjoy how you tackle each variant challenges for your work. Thanks for posting.

[@lblbuilders]

I hate to disagree with my favorite new zealander (and of course my favorite Dutch carpenter), but when I remodel I find my self going through a whole lot of drudgery to get to the rewarding part. I love these videos, this is where you can make or break a job. I pick up loads...this is the part that gets magically taken care of in all the “reality” shows on American television.

[@sethmunn6655]

Mate for kiwis and anyone doing renovations on timber framed housing your channel is gold. It might be a ball ache to you, but it's all interesting, your edits are articulate and keep the narrative rolling along nicely. Keep it up mate, you're doing a stand up job.

[@DJbinks]

Tears my fam, you both are genuinely lovely beings. Love it. Love to you both and all those that are intertwined with the channel and life.

[@josephking6515]

I just looked up the price of Ray's new nail gun and I now understand why he said that funny Dutch word that was not understandable. Gotta say Ray seems like a really nice guy so deserves the replacement Milwaukee nail gun. 👍

[@mozki1]

So 2004 you started your apprenticeship... .always starts off with the crappy jobs....my current apprentice is just starting to get that

[@bradleyrogerson1638]

Great stuff. Ray seems like a top bloke

[@aaronmoore9417]

Another great episode team - especially loved the Karate Kid reference from Ray “the human tape measure”. 😅

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Scott, show us everything, even the crappy jobs.... this is how people are watching & learning.*

[@greganixter7352]

Hi Scott - I am not even a builder or in the trades. I just find all your content very enjoyable and interesting to see the South Island. You and Jess seem like such nice people. You can make any video you want and it is all good

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

Hello Scott and Jess (Scott Brown Carpentry) from Sydney Australia. Community gardening competitions- dynamic lift😂 Your garden is giving a vibrant show of color. Seed saving in airtight labeled bags is a great way to continue "harty performers" for next season. Let's not forget to rotate beds for pest and nutritional value. 🌺🌻🌼

[@hrg5010]

Love that dry Dutch sense of humour! The roof beam changes and opening up spaces etc are very similar / familiar to what we did to our 50's house 20 years ago. There's a lot of satisfying DIY you can do. For example my wife was project manager and did all the GIB, GIB stopping, cornices and painting. I think I helped a bit here and there. Nothing like pulling down ceilings with rat poo raining down on you :).

[@deroobj]

Ray is generally happy for that nail gun. Good job!

[@-_James_-]

Did you mean "genuinely"? 😉

[@deroobj]

@@-_James_- yes. Yes, I did. Oh well!

[@phronese]

I loved this video, with all its earnesty, from Ray's surprise to Scott feeling a bit annoyed/insecure about 'boring' jobs in the big picture. This video was great, the content is wonderful, I really like the dry humour of the three of you, whether it's flashy jobs or wall-tearing. This is the only KZbin channel I'm waiting for the weekly release. Every Friday having the best of lunches with another episode. Thanks so much!

[@ilovemimisomuch]

Hey Jess, would you ever do a Garden channel? Love watching your garden grow and seeing what you’re up to with it.

[@brianroscoe239]

You started in 2004. I retired in 2004. Enjoyed my life as a joiner and site management, I can now watch your videos without getting tired. Keep up the good work. Cheers from the UK.

[@isaaczeitoun7767]

I'm telling you, the bromance between you and Ray is priceless. Love your videos!

[@toxaq]

Weird that you think this would be boring. Super interesting for non-builders home-tinkerers like me.

[@JosephPuplava]

I love the surprised gift from Milwaukee to kindly give him a new nailer. I'm very pleased with this!

[@Hedriks]

Actually don't mind watching you do your wall framing Scott, because walls are different in every house, besides it's all about seeing how your renovation comes together. 👍 Absolutely happy for Ray's replacement Milwaukee tool.

[@Collemeister]

Ray’s humour is so funny. Love him. Keep him around forever!

[@terrytopliss9506]

Job done well, like I said to the apprentices I used to teach that for a time they would be dogs bodies. Most of them accepted the tea making or sweeping etc and went on to be good crafts men. Thanks for the latest exciting episode and thanks to Milwaukee.👍👍

[@mahto54]

First video of yours I've seen. I love the back and forth between you and Ray. I was laughing alot and I don't mean that in a bad way. I loved the fact that Ray knows the measurements of his body parts, that's ingenious. And when you were talking about being 17 in 2004 when you started in the business, it reminded me how old I am being 15 when I started in 1969!! I miss the renovation jobs I only do cabinets and furniture now. So I will live vicariously through you guys for a while. Can't wait to see the finished product!!

[@4431charlie]

I've been building for years, I never involve building inspectors in anything you can't see from the street. love your videos Scott !!!

[@hw2508]

Well, not only watching because of the build, but because of the ones who build. No worries about taking a wall or two down.

[@michael-james1970]

About doing the crappy jobs. I was a site manager for many years. Mostly contract work ranging from 3 months to 18 months at a time. Quite often there were gaps before I started a new contract. In those gaps I would do agency work, working as a labourer on building sites. It was good fun and gave me appretiation for the various trades working on site.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Amazing how an extra 4' makes a room feel huge! And way to go Ray, first sponsorship.

[@thomo74]

Not boring for me. When it’s your own home there is a different element of care. Great to have a mate to assist !

[@gregkhatchatrian4918]

Kitchen! I’m excited. That’s what I do for a living. If you have any questions I’d be happy to help.

[@BrunoRoque]

Hi Scott! Big fan here from Portugal! Just what to say you are a good hearted man and Jess is the same. This gesture with Raymond and the support you are giving Pareur are also self-explanatory of what a special kind of human you two are! Good luck with your renovation and your business in general. I have my own factory for aluminum and PVC windows and thermal blinds and I like the way you run your business. Keep up the good work! 8:51

[@trevordarby467]

Brilliant great to watch great tradesman as a carpenter here in the uk

[@a.j.s.3979]

I wonder if the "measuring with body parts" is a Dutch thing, because I do exactly the same things for rough guestimates of measurements as Ray :) edit: oh and by the way, I think these episodes where you deal with load bearing stuff are very interesting and educational! so not boring at all.

[@QALibrary]

my dad who is English and part Scottish did the same when he was an electrician - he now retired

[@maryjanedavidson2804]

I do the same thing, I know the joints in my fingers are about an inch, my arm spread apart finger tip to finger tip is 6' and my foot is about a foot. I am Canadian born Mennonite, and yes I am tall for a girl and am also the handywoman of the house.

[@brucelee3388]

Fistmele, cubit, span......all body based 'Biblical' measurements, all existed before the Classical Greeks and Romans, who gave us the inch and foot (Julius & Augustus standardized them) and by Medieval times - pole, perch, rod, fathom, barleycorn..........pre-metric in Australia we had to learn them all. Interestingly places in Europe like Austria still use inches (zoll) for things like carpentry rather than metric measurements.

[@koekum2142]

I guess I'm approximately 0,95 Ray

[@matthewross9429]

Love the videos Scott! I would even watch you walk back and forth to your shed for 10mins. Keep up the good work mate!

[@Nothingstutube]

I'd watch anything boring from you scott. I like your work standard ethics.

[@youtrades]

Freaking love opening up rooms like that!! Absolutely great choice:))

[@njsification]

I love how Ray is working back from metric to imperial units.

[@wouterkuit3508]

No need to apologise, you manage to make all the clips interesting. Removing a wall, load bearing or not, is, interspersed with all the explanations you give, interesting! You (we) will get there in the end.

[@steelvalleysportsmen7737]

I don't know where the heck you found Ray, but I'm so glad you found him.

[@kristapple]

You can really see the place and plans coming together now. Such a big space opened up with all that ‘boring’ but necessary repetitive work. Really looking forward to the kitchen build starting 😀

[@crescentworks6855]

I love that metric replaced weird measurements like the king's forearm, and Ray's just taking it back to the old school!

[@honeheke1128]

Ray "F.off"....brilliant

[@thomasevans7792]

Thanks for keeping me company while I do the dishes again Scott. Makes it interesting for sure!

[@nate_wil]

Holy wozers 0:06 reminds me how magical the south island is! Miss New Zealand! Need to get back over for sure!

[@seth6836]

That’s a pro tip from Ray. Knowing the measurements of body parts

[@DaCheat100]

Props to Milwaukee NZ for sorting out Ray. Super nice guy, well deserved.

[@jsimes1]

I realize that building out a new kitchen is exciting and sexy but I find it really satisfying to install structural components that allow you to remove a load bearing wall. 😁 We did something similar in our 100 year old house and it really opened up our living room and kitchen.

[@mdtippett]

Actually, watching yall do that was very satisfying. Just knowing I didn't have to do it was a great reward.

[@jackthorne813]

That garden pan shot down to the garage is stunning not sure why I picked out that one shot but it just looked so good

[@djotter]

That one and the shot just before it, I think someone got a new camera slider 😂

[@ktulu193]

Just want to say that I really like the mix of voice over and realtime audio

[@f.becker220]

Nice to see a new video and hope you enjoyed your free days! 🙂 It is interesting that you go in that detailed level. Watching also all of you old videos, step by step the understanding of how those houses are build is gettinge more complete. Great job!

[@rastis100]

Wholesome moments with Ray... we like that

[@robertfowler3457]

A follower from the beginning, such a great channel Scott, love all the content, I know it must be a pain and take a lot longer to film as you go but pretty sure we all love every video no matter how repetitive it might seem to you filming it. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@jaredgreen5305]

who doesnt fkn love Ray.. he needs to be in every video!

[@BrettMarley-x5r]

Out of all the channels on youtube this is by far my favourite. Never miss an episode. 👌 Keep up the great work 😆

[@robbristow]

Great looking Garden, Jess, for your first autumn.

[@bigrobbo75]

7:19 looks like Jess is rolling a big cigarette made of pot pouri ? Lol:)

[@M1CK3YL33]

So much room for activities! You guys must be beaming after finishing that job, well done 👍

[@hanshans387]

I recently watched the very first video you did with Gaston and he was showing off that Hultafors crowbar you're using with the adjustable pry angle :D :D :D

[@sandrinakeffufal6008]

lRay deserves to be paid more since he has that special measuring skill !!! Love it :D

[@DaveDaHunt3R]

Thank you for using your "influencer" position to help such a cool guy as Ray. You deserve all the good things in the world Scott! ❤

[@colinmottram4429]

Ray's wee face!! Happy new tool day Ray! Great progress, Scott - I enjoy seeing how you consider the structural role of each element you are working with and support it properly while you are working on it.

[@maritzm]

@Ray is a huge part of the channel! Thanks Ray!

[@pete3897]

I'm sure you have no idea what I'm talking about, but I smiled when I saw the run-time of the video :) It's a geek thing.

[@davidrobinson4950]

I missed your video last Saturday morning. Glad you had a break and not more covid

[@texasproud3332]

Scott I will tell you that as a retired electrician that was in the trade from 15 to 65 the first four years you are considered a helper and there was attic work to ditch work but everyone should experience that

[@Tirrm]

The garden is looking amazing!

[@therealyfy8727]

Love watching ur videos Scott from an apprentice in Blenheim about to come out of his time. I’d like to thank you for all these videos. You’ve helped me a lot cheers! 🎉

[@paulzirker706]

Great video Scott. Not boring at all. I'm learning stuff from it.

[@warrenmunn3224]

Easy way of removing that @#&* panelling is to relevel the floor, just make sure you warn Jess beforehand. Putting new posts under an old farm house many years ago and as we jacked and levelled the house we could hear all these 'bangs'. Wasn't until the end of the day when we walked into the room we'd been working on that we found the source (we had looked before, it just wasn't obvious) the panelling had popped of the walls. The glue had given way and the brads had pulled through the sheeting.

[@davidn1953]

That back garden looks so lovely with the blooming flowers etc, yet the new deck built facing the front street. I know its close to the kitchen but ????? I've watched every video by Scott and my carpenter son in Alice Springs, now watches him and he agrees with me re the deck. Sorry to be so negative , I know comments are usually positive.

[@Punkyrooster6]

That garden has really become quite a feature.

[@grahamhunt1169]

Where is the opening “Scott Brown here!” Don’t mess with the classics! 😁

[@AndrewStead-i9h]

I wait for the next episode with as much anticipation as when Game of Thrones was on TV.

[@denisoriordan6739]

Hey Scott. Just a quick question. When you worked in Scotland & England, were your sites ever inspected by the government, in any structural detail during the build? Here in Ireland, the system is that the builder/developer employs an engineer to sign off on the construction detail. Doesn’t work.

[@warpspeed9877]

I enjoy the carpentry side but also the comradery and the playful interactions as much. Background music is not bad either!

[@BigKeith510]

Hey Scott I love these types of videos equally well to all the others. That was really nice to help out Ray like that.

[@katrinabell7684]

Great to see you back! All coming together SBC! 😎

[@spiksplinter]

Was waiting eagerly for a new video!

[@Joe-jv5mm]

Nice touch replacing the man tool 👏👏👏

[@aussiviking604]

Love Jess's flowering May garden. Nice

[@caveweta]

Love the attention to detail Scott

[@12344768]

Your videos are way too short. Best content on KZbin

[@petemcgeehan1824]

Awesome video as always Scott. I saw there was a lot of flooding around Nelson again this weekend, hope you guys are all ok!

[@smally8499234]

In Australia we call the big beam a combined counter strutting beam and the beam supporting the ceiling os a hanging beam, because the ceiling joists hant from it.

[@isthisthat]

these vlogs are a thing of beauty.
