FINISHING Framing! Getting Under Cover!

[@annettehough2792]

The forces during building are often the most stress on the project. The video skills are progressing every week. Great job you two.

So cool to see Amish builders!

[@HipaStore]

It's really amazing to see how the house was built.

Impressed great job .

[@thetundra]

The progress is so impressive!

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Thanks Peggy!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@BenKlassen1]

Fun build. I love the framing stage. Maybe it's the smell of freshly cut lumber?

[@MasonDixonAcres]

As bad as breathing sawdust is for you, it does smell nice 😅

[@dolmarf411]

you need to bloc rafters every 3 meters. and the roof has a dip in the midle.

Zip panels can be lined up.

Awesome! Thanks for following the journey

[@laurieclarkson9180]

8:19--Just for clarity..when you pointed out that the Amish had "lined up" the Zip Sheathing on the gable wall, that should've been staggered or something right? or should it have been horizontal? Maybe you'll elaborate later in the video and I just haven't seen that part yet.

[@MasonDixonAcres]

staggered is right, it does not need to be horizontal in our jurisdiction. Applying horizontally would have caused a lot more solid blocking and thermal bridging in the wall, the sheets are made at 8/9/10ft lengths to be applied vertically to walls of those heights

What's that platform on the telehandler? 10:47

[@MasonDixonAcres]

That’s a 12ft work platform

@@MasonDixonAcres where did you get it??

[@ronaldpigeon4713]

Your blocking within the rafters will not block your venting?

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Nope, blocking is a 2x8 flushed to bottom side of rafter, rafters are 2x10

[@ronaldpigeon4713]

@@MasonDixonAcres you do not have much insulation due to the vaulted ceilings? Will you be using spray foam?

[@guidocasero1178]

I would have made the first floor out of cinder block because of the termites in Florida, maybe they don't have that problem in Pennsylvania

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Termites are certainly present here but that doesn't warrant a full floor of block, it's cheaper and easier to just treat for termites and/or keep any wood 8+ inches from grade. Florida homes typically use block to meet wind load requirements.

They're Amish, the right team could be done in 3 days with everything.

[@javiergonzalez-us5is]

Yup you look tired!

[@javiergonzalez-us5is]

But it’s looking awesome

[@MasonDixonAcres]

Haha much appreciated!!
