I love how good-natured you guys are. Some of the crews I've worked on the macho ran so thick it was disgusting.

[@howie4150]

Mrs. Homeowner is killin it. Such a great attitude durning this build.

[@ed9041]

So here where I live.... we would wrap the stone in the geotextile fabric.. so put the fabric in before you put the gravel in, then fill on top of the fabric then fold it over the top of the stone to create like a sausage of stone, wrapped completely with fabric. With the perforated pipe at the bottom also inside the fabric.

[@MrMockingbird1313]

Hey Eric, Some contractors lay out a long wide sheet first. The add some rock. Then the perf pipe. Top with more rock . Final steps are to lap the fabrick and lay over with dirt. It's often called a burreto drain. It might be a little easier work.

Hey, those quiet parts with the wall lifting really make me feel like I'm there. No background, no distractions, just a bunch of dudes building a(nother) house. I think you are successfully catching the vibe of construction when it's with people you like. So, thank you for that. Makes me want to trade in my office/keyboard for a Builder Brothers tool belt.

@@MHolt3573 it really is amazing how entertaining this crew is in every video, with little bits and tricks to learn here and there as well.

i love the homeowner. willing to get her hands dirty but doesnt seem like she gets in the way. that is rare on both accounts.

[@makermarc70]

A thought...when nailing headers in position, you could leave the studs adjacent (next to) the header bay loose. Essentially nail the stud to the bottom plate, kick the top of the stud out of the way nail the header completely (because the adjacent studs are not in the way of course), then nail the adjacent stud tops. Typing this took longer than the process takes . Lol. I understand you may have reasons to do it differently . Keep up the good work! Thank you for the content.

[@jimmymccracken9702]

I'm going to give you a tip from an old carpenter, take metal banding strap and nail a stip about 10inches long to the bottom plate in about 3 places then nail them to the flooring then build the wall and I used to install the window and siding then stand the wall and if you install the staps right you can then kick the bottom plate to the edge and it will never let the wall go to far that way you only have to stand the wall and everything takes less time and never any scaffolding, hope this helps.

[@Sarutaru06]

Take it from someone who's designed and built prefabricated walls for a while now: build your parts (headers, wall ties, jacks, etc.) before nailing them to the plates. There's nothing difficult about nailing the side of the king stud to a header if it already has the jacks on it and you do it before a bunch of studs are in the way. As long as everything's cut to the right length, it should work out exactly the same in the end without needing a second pass. In our shop we typically have one guy loading tables with parts (plates are cut and laid out earlier), another nailing top plates and headers prior to assemble, and then one person nailing bottom plates/window sills as well as unloading the table with hoists once a wall is built. It's a little different for walls with sheathing but the assembly process for the actual framing is pretty much the same.

[@petej1172]

Eliminate the toe nails. After spreading studs and before you move the top plate from the bottom, nail all the kings to the door and window headers. Slide a stud inside the king to butt the header. Mark at the bottom of the king, cut and nail the jacks. Pull them down and nail them off with the rest of the studs and cripples. I've worked in the Midwest, west coast and overseas. I've only ever seen precut studs at 92 5/8, 96 or 104 5/8. I'm retired and living vicariously through your videos.

Its definitely time for a dump trailer.

[@RandyMayo]

I am a structural engineer from Missouri and I love your shows and dedication to doing it right the first time. I see you backfilling the foundation with the excavated soil. Depending on the amount of clay in that soil you may be putting too much pressure on the wall. Backfilling will 1-inch clean rock to within 12” of the finished grade would likely be a better choice.

[@T.E.P..]

Thanks again guys! Hello to Jonnno and Arlo and Ray and Jay .... hello to Jaime!

[@justincreaser5482]

For your partition blocking in your exterior walls if you 2 2x4 together and build an L you can avoid doing the insulation as you frame because it leaves the cavity open on the inside. Or for 2x4 walls use a 2x4 stud and a 2x6 for the L

[@deweymauldin478]

Love this channel!

[@Lugnut64052]

The drywallers thank you for pulling out the hinge nails.

[@johnkayak10]

Use a longer saw saw blade and you get no angle when cutting out for windows is what I do If you hold off nailing the common stud and nail your box header first that saves you from climbing later after you raise wall.

[@eureka345]

Go Remelle! Loved seeing you join in with lifting the wall. Curious as to why you didn't add a walkout basement to this project. Seems like the "crawlspace" was almost tall enough?

Hey Perkins team, it is absolutely wonderful to see how all of you are so nice to the home owner. What an amazing treat for her to be on sight everyday with you guys and feel welcomed. Jaime and Eric, it would be awesome for you to have a sit down interview/discussion with Ms Homeowner after the build is complete to get her perspective on the whole process. I think that would be a very good video. Love to content, keep'm coming.

Dirt can infiltrate the gravel from the side and the bottom. The landscape fabric would be the perfect length if you’d laid it down first and wrapped it up the side and over the top. The pipe still needs a sock

[@straight_to_finish]

95-5/8” is an odd length down south. Here in the northeast U.S., if you factored in 3/4” flooring, 3/4” strapping, and 1/2” Sheetrock, you’d net 96-1/8” finished wall height-which works out.

[@Dustin922]

Hey Perkins do you guys have any videos doing walk out basements? We live on a decent slope and want to add onto the main level as well as a basement below the new addition since it would be unused space anyway. Thoughts or advice? 😃 Bonus if you know any good builders/designers in Greenville/Spartanburg area

Hey Guys! I'm Sean. I'm a contractor from Washington. Love your channel. The BF and I will be coming to stay in one of the AirBNB's at some point next year. My question is about the Paslode nailer. I bought one to long ago to warranty it, of course. Didn't really use it till recently. I'm finding that it"s constantly misfiring or jamming up. And the depth doohickey is forever coming loose with vibration as I fire nails. I'm using the correct Paslode nail and new gas. I love everything else about thee gun, lightweight..... So the question. Have you experienced any of this with yours? Possibly I just got a lemon. Or maybe it's just something I'm doing. Thoughts ideas

I really enjoy watching you rascals building. I spent 20 years selling construction fasteners, so it's cool to see the process. Plus you fellas are a hoot.

[@reluginbuhl]

[@publicEnima]

is there vent holes going to be cut in the wall for the crawl space? Do you guys worry about moisture build up in NC? just curious

[@moocowzrock]

Nah, they usually do an encapsulated crawlspace. You do a plastic liner throughout the floors and up the concrete walls with foam board insulation, and you can run a dehumidifier under there and/or even run a small hvac supply vent down there and it will stay conditioned and not humid/moist. It will also help your interior space avoid weird smells from the dirt working up to your house and help make you air conditioning and heat a little more consistently comfortable.

[@JeffDougherty]

This is one of my favorite builds to watch from you guys. I love this house design.

[@Cent51]

Wow, is that the standard of plans for the area..

[@Ormathon]

When i put down drain like that around a house we used those fiber cloths(kinda similar to yours but not as dense) and put it down, then add gravel to it, put the drainage pipe in, add more gravel and then wrap it like a burrito. That way the drainage pipe had no chance to be filled with dirt and crud and was protected from all sides, not just the top. Also makes it easier if you are going to make future connections(like downspouts) to it, no dirt at all near it because of the gravel burrito.

[@wilbready]

I tried using a router but I hated the debris and bit spinning at 10k rpm. Give me a reciprocating saw with a metal blade, preferably 6” or longer, and I’ll give you clean, flush cuts every time. Great work, guys! WilPaul

[@someyoungguy6990]

Crazy question, have you guys ever had a wall frame slide after you toe nailed it to the floor and how bad was it damaged afterwards?

[@kazedcat]

If it slide it will slide on initial lift. Once it is almost vertical the chance of it sliding is very low because most of the load has already shifted downward increasing the friction preventing the wall from sliding.
