The Ridge: Kitchen Framing Rebuilt, Beams Flying In! [#12]

[@jankorteweg1]

Only a true professional accepts that where work is done, mistakes are made. Respect that you dare to be vulnerable and do not edit out mistakes but show them and take full responsibility for them. I wish you and your men good luck and prosperity in the completion of this great project.

[@scotttucker4977]

It’s so refreshing to see someone with integrity, others should learn from you!

Just a thought; I would use a pallet place a floor and walls on three sides and use it to throw all the cutoffs in it; then pick up it with the telehandler when they are full an dump it in the roll off container.

[@Zest4life890]

I'm having a new build, and my hubby and I go everyday to check the house, take pictures, and I've caught a lot of mistakes, I took measurements of the frame to make sure they're 10 ft. high as I paid extra for 10 ft. Ceilings

[@MattBangsWood]

Things happen, nobody is perfect. Owning up to those mistakes and making it right is where the good and bad separate.

Matt have you been doing this carpentry stuff since you were 15 mate. I like watching the two styles of carpentry that our two countries (Australia) offer, especially wall framing. We wall frame everything with something like two by four. Cheers

BTW what would be an issue if you just added the 2 extra foot framed? In regards to strength and quality?

[@Crastics07]

Just subbed to you, recently me and my wife were talking about buying a house in the future in Georgia currently residing in NYC. So as usual, I get super excited and start thinking about layouts and how to remodel, blah blah blah. So here I am and found your channel on how to frame a wall. So here is my thing, i've always loved remodeling things from scratch, love tools but don't own much, and this type of work ALWAYS gets me excited, sometimes I feel I am in the wrong jobs, is this something that is easy to obtain as a skill worker since living in NYC I find it hard to find a place to do this type of work. Any help would be nice from all people. Thanks and keep up the nice work!

[@wickedwild79]

Good video... plus we like yhe sweater u had. Will frame for food.

[@SkilsawDoctor]

I remember when I was cutting my teeth on stairs. I messed up and framed the entire staircase wrong. I thought I was going to get fired. My boss told me "if you never cut a staircase incorrectly, you never framed a set of stairs". Now I am solely cutting roofs and check my measurements on paper, calculator, and roof framing books.

[@SkilsawDoctor]

@@theguy9290 Yep, I did frame walls under the stairs though. I guess NYC uses different terminology. You got my point though. No matter what terms you use...I messed it up. Lesson learned though.

[@willmoren4968]

What do y’all do with the material you replaced? (The stuff you didn’t already reuse)

[@mykalimba]

Regarding building "exactly what they draw on the plans", there has to be some degree of freedom, yes? For example, you block your walls a certain way, and another framing contractor might block them another way, and both would be perfectly fine, I'm guessing? I assume that the trick is to fully understand the difference between the things that must adhere to the plans, and those that are not critical.

[@MattBangsWood]

Wall blocking is about it. Nail patterns, roof blocking, floor blocking, roof bracing, etc is all called out.

[@RobertBarth1]

It has been my experience that, in just about everything, the quality of the work isn't in how well one does something correctly, but rather in how well they handle and fix mistakes.

[@ridinrancher9443]

What other issues can arise if some decides to just increase the height of the wall by adding more wood instead of rebuilding it. Just wanting a deeper understanding. Thanks.

[@madhatter2012]

The most serious issue I can think of is that adding another short wall on top creates a "hinge" joint where they meet, and the loads from the roof trusses can push the seam in or out. It's the most unstable type of joint I can think of and can be dangerous if enough load is applied from above. To get an idea of how this looks, hold the tips of your fingers from one hand straight up, and then take the fingertips from the other hand and place them vertically on top of the others. Now push hard. The point where they touch will kick out one way or another.

Can you a video on this or an update video with your background and the current situation ? Are you sub or are you bidding and winning projects ? Where did you learn to frame and build ? Do you have videos on estimating and project take off ? Change orders and T&M videos . Punch list videos , what tools to start with ?

It's surprising to me that on any given weekend since the 9' walls were standing that the home owners didn't see the mistake or say something. Maybe they did catch the mistake?

[@Ptro1]

Semper Fi oh yeah I agree 100%. Should of worded question different. Might just be California but all the high end houses here at least use zip. Just figured a million dollar + house would utilize it

[@MattBangsWood]

What @Semper Fi said, we’re just framing contractor. We can’t pick what we utilize for material, up to builder. We might see it soon though!

[@Ptro1]

MattBangsWood we’ll great work! Great to have framers that take pride in their work!

[@Bill_N_ATX]

It is California. With some exceptions they don’t see that much weather. It doesn’t snow, freeze, stay hot for weeks, etc. They mostly build in Zone 3 so they can cover code with just a simple fiberglass batt in their wall bays. I agree though, if I was having a house built I’d use Zip or something like it.

So yesterday was my first day as a framer apprentice and as the day was going I realize that I like this trade ALOT but when the day was over the framer told me that he was not going to continue to use me because he was afraid that I was going to get hurt. I've never gotten hurt in my jobs and knowing that I've done 4 years of bricklaying apprentice that it was not going to happen. I figured that he didnt want me because I'm a female. It sucks cause I want to learn the trade.

[@timothydillon6421]

I hope you found another crew to work with. I work in auto racing that is also mainly male workers but there are more female workers now. If you find an older crew that works hard and smart you can learn a lot and keep up. If a scrawny fox can do it women can too. The old guys work with technique instead of brute force.

[@jacobhaagerup7816]

It's interesting how pretty much nothing I see in this video, except possibly the framing for the interior walls, would be legal here in Denmark, including your working methods. Standing on ladders is not legal here for example. The framing for the exterior walls would be far from sufficient. Using OSB on an outside horizontal deck would last possibly 3 months and it would be ruined. What little I've seen of the plumbing would be illegal not to mention how you guys do electrical. But then again - this isn't California.
