This is the first video of a Simpson strong wall. I have to install 4 of them in my new house build. Been watching for years, and appreciate your work.

[@DoubleDoubleWithOnions]

How high do those big bolts stick up from the concrete?

[@orienyeckley269]

Awesome video as always!!!…Working near the biggest temperate rain forest in the lower 48 in Washington about Halloween,we had a new guy from southern California just starting with us…it starts raining,crew all stops to put on rain gear,said new guy is packing tools/cords up getting ready to leave,says he doesn’t work in the rain…see you back in 9 months says dad(lead).

[@richardko1081]

After 5:14 in the video , How did you tighten the WSWH screws ? Thats the problem what I meet now...😥😥😥

[@CivilianDan]

Thank you for teaching about Simpson Strong Walls. I never heard of those and it solves a problem I had with a large garage build I was considering. I will have to research.

[@DixieNormous1]

I also bought another pair of Occidental adjust- a fits and junked my badgers.. They're the most comfortable bags there are. I've had about five pair

[@didineparetto9473]

It is always with real pleasure that I follow your videos and your work very well done. And that's good, since I always wanted to know if these wooden constructions could withstand an earthquake or a hurricane, and today I had the answer, so Thanks Matt.

considering the amount of framing in that building and the additional cost of the "strong walls " it begins to approach the cost of CLT walls . Clt has massive shear built into it and the same hold downs could be used as in stick framing . plumbing and electrical can be installed using the German holz haus method by using a chase at the base of the walls or under a built up floor with sleepers used to accommodate wood flooring or whatever . Clt also has a better fire rating than stick framing and a huge amount of money is saved on labor thus offsetting the increased cost of the panels .

You’re a damn good framer Matt, love watching your videos. Respect👊🏽

[@hightide-mcknotts]

Awesome Video Matt and Crew! - I love this content and the way you explain everything - House designs and construction has always been a passion of mine since my teens - Very impressed with your Knowledge and skills Matt - My actual home Construction skills and experience are minimal - I remodeled my own home inside and out - 2 Room additions - roof - windows - electrical - hardy siding - all interior work - ETC. Just remodeled Kitchen and 1 bathroom as well - and also complete front and backyard landscaping - DIY - Saved us roughly $90K - $100K - Ah yes the Simpson Strong-ties - had to add to my remodel on a few existing walls - Those Strong walls are very cool! - Nice Set up! and I love hitting golf balls! Keep posting video! Thanks Matt

Haha I wish i owned a machine, I always have to rent and always end up with something different. Ive never ran a genie that wasnt jumpy i know exactly what you mean. Its tolerable on a little machine but i ran a 10k 54’ and that thing was almost impossible to run precisely out at longer stick lengths. I put a few hundred hours on a brand new skyjack this year and really liked it. I got used to the single control after a while, skyjacks run really smooth though compared to the genies. Personally im a fan of the jcb layout for long/ heavy/ precise picks and a skyjack or jlg single stick for general organizing material and unloading trucks at ground level. Now the trick is to justify renting 2 separate machines hahaha.

[@davidchristian2071]

Great video Matt👍👍👍👍

[@ipimpin96]

I’m a picky framer and I love your work 👍 keep it up !

[@furrycircuitry2378]

You were born for the job man your name is wood in spanish jajaja 😂😂

[@Tkssa580]

I load those Simpson Strong walls sometimes out to Oxnard area. I wish they’d package them in crates. They get damaged sometimes from ppl not being able to load them properly.

[@jasonmarshall819]

Sweet delivery of trusses

[@xuv5607]

Pour a grade beam in those short sections instead of using a strong wall. Stronger and cheaper. The structural engineer must get a kickback from Simpson:) Matt and crew great work fellas!!

[@stsr2157]

How much is zip sheathing in comparison to osb on units ?

[@genegoodman5233]

I hit the like👍👍👍👍👍before I start watching, I know I’m gonna like it. Even if I don’t, it still helps you. Have a safe day.

[@jeffkenyon7084]

So I'm a 38year old carpenter I live in Maine I've been around framing from a young age I framed and finished houses for about 20 years but I stopped about 5 years ago to help my buddy build a rv sales and service company but one of our customers talked him into building them a house with a sob story that the earliest any one would even look at his plans was a year out so I start on it on Tuesday with old painter as my help he's a joke of all trades serious I've been watching your videos trying to sharpen up my skills thank you can I ask why y'all run your wall sheathing vertical instead of horizontal

[@johnelliott0101]

Matt, the cut-to-fit strong walls excellent. Watching you guys is making me late to get ready for watching NFL. 😊

[@christopherroussell1131]

Classic gonch adjustment at 11:30...atta boy!

[@jorgenegro7131]

Hola how are you doing? Nice video what set up do you use to record the video what lance do you use looks very nice

[@augenbutter]

Sheathing or x braces over header are not sufficient?

[@bayareabrit]

My engineer has required two Strong-Wall WSWH24x12's on my 44' x 14' ADU because of a bifold door on one of the ends. Looks like Strong-Walls are over $1k each!

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Are they the steel Strong Walls?

[@devlinbuilderco.]

I just installed 6 Simpson Steel Strong Walls on my build. Four are 18wx12h and two 24wx13h those things are not easy when your doing it by hand and without machinery.

[@richardcrawford3315]

Thanks Matt from OZ

[@dylanhatch4086]

You took your trimmer load path out, I know your trimmer is nailed to that post and probably fine, and you didn’t have room in between hold down bolts, up in oregon we run a continuous trimmer down from the header and then just a cripple under the sill so are sills are cut net instead of +3”

[@MrScottr1958]

2 things about your lift there should be a proportioning valve that can be adjusted for your lever controls and there should be a seat belt that should be used by the operator at all times

[@MattBangsWood]

When it got serviced they went through everything, they've serviced this machine for years.. They said unfortunately without spending thousands it couldn't be repaired.

[@OldBullRanch]

Simpson strong walls....thats pretty sweet, but sad that they are even a requirement. I look at the layout and think damn man...it not like Cali has hurricane code requirements like here in NC SC... Side note lmao...was oddly looking forward to a legit handelbar mustache with the sanchez hat 😂🤘🔥

[@MattBangsWood]

No hurricane requirements to meet, but we have insane earthquakes. I can't do the handlebar stache, if I could, I would!

[@hansangb]

Love your vids. Just leaving a comment as an offering to the YT Algos.

[@ocjohnweber9698]

Hey Matt! Great videos young man! Keep it coming... I've always used the Portal Frame method which is much cheaper. My engineer and local jurisdictions have always accepted them as code compliant. I'm guessing your engineer specified the Strong Walls?

[@leon8497]

I have a question sir , the still strong wall and wooden strong wall are for same purpose? Perhaps if required a still strong wall but the the height doesn’t work can we get a wooden instead?

[@MattBangsWood]

Yes! The wooden strong walls are customizable, can be cut down.

[@dakotamcdivitt1808]

How are you guys attaching your braces to the concrete?

[@av1204]

the amount of extra support in that house is nutty.

[@tmthyfox]

Question from the zoom yesterday how do I get access to review some of the thing we discuss

[@oseiasmodesto9292]

Good job

You looking older with the beard. You da man brotha

It wont grow in any more than that, so it goes away and back to age 15 I go!

[@TaylorReeceConstruction]

@@MattBangsWood I need to call you is there a way to pass my number so I can ask you a few questions?

[@brandonbegay8683]

Watcha want for your old occidental set

[@justusmurray9850]

Obviously concrete isn’t perfect, but how do you go about dealing with the inconsistencies of a slab on grade.

[@tonyordaziii7250]

Where did you get your hat at cause my brother in law drinks the 805s beer

[@MattBangsWood]

Well, we live in the 805, so they're everywhere around here. Quite a few gas stations in the area have them.

[@gurban333]

are they PT? dont see a capillary break?

[@MattBangsWood]

They're metal on the bottom. Haven't ever used anything under them, should I?

[@MattBangsWood]

My golf swing is terrible, I have no form. I've been playing more and more and getting my form dialed in.

[@kevingawelko6454]

Dude...you gotta get off your right side with your golf swing. Other than that...welcome to the sickness.

[@lorenrickey5481]

I still don’t think they’ll allow the blue lift on the corse!

[@MrTexasDan]

Looks like a baseball swing ... did you play baseball or softball?

[@MattBangsWood]

@@MrTexasDan Lol, I played ball for a minute. I disc golf weekly, so I understand the concept of golf very well, just never swung a club, only a bat!

[@MrTexasDan]

@@MattBangsWood That splains it. Americans tend to swing any stick like a bat ... it's in our psyche. Once you break that muscle memory you'll be fine. Suggest you video yourself in slomo, then try to pick it apart and eliminate everything that isn't a proper golf swing. What's left is a proper golf swing 🙂

[@siriosstar4789]

Simpson must be shilling for the insurance companies and the insurance companies are lobbying the building departments to build in a manner that protects them from ever having to pay in the even of a natural disaster . those "strong walls " dont seem all that applicable in earthquake prone california , but would be a good addition to hurricane zones . California rarely sees earthquakes strong enough to topple buildings so some of the hold downs that are being used are a bit overkill . statistically there are waay more devastating hurricanes each year than super destructive earthquakes , hence my opening remark .

[@MPR-86]

I’ll love the way you work can you give me a job I wanna move out of Chicago
