How to Sheathe a Roof

[@framingbeast720]

Makita hose with max nailer….best of the best. I prefer when the hose goes from the top then down otherwise it feels like it’s dragging with every shot

[@gregorymacneil2836]

I subscribe to your channel because you either follow the safety rules or do your very best to follow the rules. You set a good consistent example (dancing is for another discussion😃). I applaud you taking taking the time to mention the important details like chafe guards on the anchor point. Safety is so simple. As the owner of my body shop said one afternoon - “These smashed and dented cars are here because someone did not follow the instructions”.

[@AwesomeFramers]

yeah, the key point is "do your best to follow the rules". Most of the time they aren't difficult.

[@gregorymacneil2836]

@@AwesomeFramers I ended up in the hospital because someone did not follow the rules. I was dressed head to toe in Hi-viz - I am certain I was visible from the space station. I was out of work for three years. Besides the surgeries it was 5 hours of therapy everyday for those years and still have to do some everyday. I really do appreciate your commitment to safety. It is a pleasure to know everyone on your crew has a good chance of going home at the end of the day - thank you for the great videos.

Great video, Tim! The explanation, tips, and humor is all great! Thanks for the great content!

❤❤ the fact you started with .. #'s. Are coming from left to right... cut man quote ( I'm only as good as my number ).. love it guys.. I'm a drywaller love the quality

[@artartcon1238]

Great tutorial, thanks! Have you ever used screwshank nails? Specs says that they hold much better. Please share your experience.

[@seankelly9998]

Just really like your videos and how you approach the job. Keep them coming.

[@harrylenton9984]

excellent work with explanations for everything. Thanks

[@emilechap8573]

Good job as usual.Good tips .Thankyou.Good idea with two nailers .Very efficient. Awesome framers thx.👍

[@andrewjblack6]

Thanks for the great content Tim! Just finished my building apprenticeship over her in New Zealand (from the states originally). Long time follower, first time commenter haha, and really appreciate the informational aspect to your videos. Quick question, how do you handle your collar ties? Saw some in this video but can't remember seeing them in the previous roof framing video. Is it something that's different for each house? Does the engineer specify something? Any opinions as to their effectiveness up near the ridge beam as opposed to mid span or lower? What sort of fixings do you use? In this house is the ceiling going to end up being mostly vaulted then flat where it meets the collar ties? Keep up that mahi.

[@AwesomeFramers]

Collar ties in the IRC have to be in the upper 1/3, so we install them right under the ridge. I don't recall (its in chapter 4 I think) but I think its 4 nails per rafter and minimum 1x material

[@wcbscout]

You is an awesome framer.

This guy makes a 19 year old wanna move across the country to work for him. I tell ya what

[@tannerkaaz714]

Same.

[@Zebcaramel]

Do it. Just bring your own tools

[@barrypeterson9692]

I’m 49 and want to make that move too.

Thanks, Tim!!!!

[@NickOvchinnikov]

I wonder how high pressure nailer and compressors work in cold.... Single digit temperatures. We ain't working if it's minus out

[@AwesomeFramers]

I don't know, thankfully we rarely get below 30

[@Kluberus]

Project 31 YT video 20. loving the title haha

[@dustinmacilwain6593]

Set Up is Key 👌 awsome

[@clydenakashima7393]

Would it help to adjust air pressure by attaching a small pressure regulator to the gun or manifold on the eave with a 3/8 inch or bigger airline going to the compressor and individual air regulator attach to the manifold to feed the gun.

[@AwesomeFramers]

yep, but with the high pressure system we usually don't need to adjust. We had it adjusted higher since we'd been shooting down sill to concrete. It became a "teachable moment" 😀

[@mikeavery2194]

Why is the cut guy tied off?

[@jeffschiefelbein225]

I thought you had to use 5/8" osb to avoid using H-clips? Have i been mistaken??? I never use 7/16 osb.

[@AwesomeFramers]

That's generally true, but the 1/2" Zip panels are designed to eliminate ply clips.

[@dp1381]

I tend to think of over-engineering as putting a ton of thought and planning into something to marginally improve it in some small way, i.e. reducing weight or fasteners slightly. It can be annoying because oftentimes it is faster, cheaper, and easier just to overbuild the thing and not worry about it.

[@bryangatewood6749]

So no expansion gaps with this system?

[@AwesomeFramers]

1/8" gap at the 4' ends, but lightly touching is ok along the 8' edge zipsystem.com

[@bryangatewood6749]

@@AwesomeFramers Do you eye ball it or Hclip it? I'm doing this in a couple months

[@AwesomeFramers]

@bryangatewood6749 snap a line for the first course then let the next row rest on the row below it. Check the Project 120 playlist for a roof sheathing video. It may help. Reach out as often as you need, I'll try and be quick to respond.

[@bryangatewood6749]

@ thank you!!!

[@dansarfert3585]

You may have mentioned this before so please remind me why you stagger joints on the roof but not the walls.

[@spin230]

No overhangs? I stand my gables up with the trim on them, I’ll even side them if there’s closed returns

[@joshjacobson9099]

What brand are the blues hoses you are using?

[@AwesomeFramers]

Makita high pressure.

[@joshjacobson9099]

Why do you use those instead of the max air ones, if don’t mind me asking? I see that they are much more expensive.

[@AwesomeFramers]

@@joshjacobson9099 I like the fittings better. They don't gum up with dirt. Put a 50' Makita on the end of 100' Max 🙂

[@joshjacobson9099]

Thanks man. I appreciate the response. I’m going to be buying into the system here pretty soon… thanks to you. Lol Please keep the videos coming. I watch them all! Thanks again!

[@RealMrBitstream]

It is most certainly “intents and purposes” are you trolling us 😂

[@KidFreshie]

10:59 You're using "per se" wrong. Learn what the words mean that you're using.

[@bryangatewood6749]

Show me your videos man. This guy is a great communicator when recorded. Carry on in your AC

[@CrustyAbsconder]

How would you sheath a roof if money was not relevant ?

[@AwesomeFramers]

This way.

[@YoutubeTM432]

umm no it's "for all in tents and purpoises"

[@AwesomeFramers]

YES!!!

[@rainmaker3700]

I can't believe people frame roofs 24" OC and then only use 40/20 APA with not span blocks.

[@johndorazio3759]

This guy puts plywood on like a little girl😂😂😂😂😂

[@KidFreshie]

8:40 It's "intents and purposes." Clown

[@AwesomeFramers]

Yep, that was a joke. I make it frequently throughout the videos, always drawn out this drawing attention to it. Thanks for watching the video 👍

[@thomaserickson1097]

Hack

[@dericknewman7216]

This sounds like fall protection training. Not. Sheathing
