That can't be right. The frames you needed first were NOT on the bottom of the stack! And the plans were clear and easy to read! Weird.

[@ytbsons]

it really happens all the time. so if you get a good unloader, hed find whats the right way up. most likely it happens every time.

[@pauls4708]

You cant always stack the frames exactly as they will be required by the builder ,for two reasons. The frame at the bottom of the stack has to be a reasonable length one,and the stack also has to be stable for the truck. You also have to allow for the fact that some frames with big doors or windows cant be at the bottom of the stack. I was a frame and truss detailer. I would have made the 140 x45 walls shorter to be easier to handle. It was always interesting to be on site as the house was being built

[@nordwestbeiwest1899]

@@pauls4708 : Well that would be a New Zealand way of transporting walls, which I wouldn't do because in the Netherlands and Germany where I worked we put the completely finished walls vertically on the truck, numbered so that the crane driver can grab the walls in order. Finished walls are then coupled together straight away and already have doors and windows, as well as electrical cables, drains and water pipes, and even heating pipes are already installed. A house like this is completely finished in two days in the Netherlands and Germany.

When I was a child it was wet framing cut and hand nailed on site, Dad had a bad back and hammer elbow from that. Then he started using prenail early on he received delivery for a block of 2 home units the delivery guy dropped them on his hand breaking all fingers on one hand (removing one partially). What I remember is Dad sitting there nursing a bleeding hand while the driver carefully finished the delivery all the while being shouted at in strong language. Carpentry has always been dangerous still is we can still do better guys.

[@MrTooTechnical]

Great build. You guys love thermal bridging in your wall frames. With all that lumber. Woohoo.

[@samj4348]

Could you explain what you mean we are building soon is ther something to keep eye out for

[@MrTooTechnical]

The external walls have so much wood in them that comfort is harder to control. Usually, all those horizontal pieces aren’t needed, and that leaves more room for insulation. Also, if using exterior shearing like plywood or osb, wall strength is greatly increased

[@jasondoust4935]

[@SovereignStorm]

That was a very nice episode. If all your content was like that it would be boring, but sometimes you just need a day like that, when the crew is only nice people, you don't have to try to come up with a complex solution for an annoying problem someone else (or worse: ones past self) created by cutting corners and everything just works out as intended.

Building with factory produced panels is so different from the US. He use factory built roof trusses and floors but not the walls. Some of those walls seemed very heavy. Great exercise!

[@Otto-W]

There are companies in the US that build like this, they're called modular builders not to be confused with mobile. I'm in the PNW and have a need for a builder in the next year or so and I'm finding a good number of them in my area.

[@EricJacobson1990]

You have to do specific #'s of hours of work in different areas in order to complete your apprenticeship in New Zealand? I kind of wish they would do that here in Canada too. I worked in a variety of different types of jobs as an apprentice, but I sought that out, that wasn't a requirement; I had my Union sign for the majority of my hours during my apprenticeship which made it easy to do that. But I know so many guys who completed their apprenticeship doing only framing, or only doing industrial work, or only residential concrete. That's why I think it would be cool if you got your Journeyman's Ticket, and then you after more hours in a particular job to officially get a "Master" qualification (I just use that word because it was the title previously given to that level of achievement in the English speaking world) in a particular area. Would make it easier for a finish carpenter to sell his services to customers who don't know him through word-of-mouth if he could show a Master Finishing Carpenter Ticket, much like my Journeyman's ticket makes it much easier for me to get work as a carpenter in the first place.

[@Goabnb94]

Electrical apprenticeships have similar sign off problems as well. As much as I understand wanting to ensure somebody knows the industry, it hurts some guys doing only very specific jobs often with very small companies and they need to get creative about their experience

[@HotForgeChaos]

Apprenticeship hours are getting smaller. I did an apprenticeship as a Fitter & Turner which was 10000 hours back in 85 through to 1990. Now I think it is less than a year. As a foreman I left my trade, the younger tradesmen had no experience and thought they knew everything. Drove me mad so I left after doing my trade for over 20 years.

[@daveburnham9111]

8000 hrs for me in the 80's

[@martinfox9560]

Cutest dog

[@Erelyes]

Should do 150 walls right around the perimeter for insulation.

[@sw6188]

I build sound studios and we do 150 frames with 100 studs on each side offset so that the gib on one side of the wall isn't physically connected to the gib on the other side (other than where it meets the top and bottom plates). Helps to minimize noise transfer from one room to the next.

Yeah if you look back when the house is finished and all you can think about is how repetitive some parts of it was then building definitely isn’t for you😂

[@raytawa]

Hi Scott, I noted that you checked that the floor was square before adding the walls. What would you have done if it was (significantly) not square? I've noticed in other videos that builders always check for level or squareness after the fact (as well as before). My guess is that finding something not square or level would be quite a rare situation.

Possibly for vertical shiplap cladding, if it’s only 20mm cavity batten needs solid fixing behind, or extra high wind zone

Hey Scott, when you said these walls were thicker, 6x2s and you said they were 150mm. Do you guys in NZ have actual exact sizes? What we call a 6x2 is always 44mm x 145mm. Or like 5 and 3/4. If you do, you guys are lucky. 👍

[@Etacovda63]

no, they're smaller. The name comes from the pre-dressed timber, i believe.

[@sw6188]

Timber sizes have changed here over the years. What we call a 4 x 2 did in fact use to be 4 inches by 2 inches, but that was the rough-sawn measurement. When they started dressing timber, the dimensions reduced but the name stayed the same. 4 x 2 = 100 x 50 but the actual measurement is 90 x 45.
