Keep up the excellent work. TY All.

I drove up from Florida this past weekend. FINALLY took a pontoon ride on Lake James. I had been visiting my grandparents since I was a child going to Gingercake Acres off 181… searched the shore line for y’all’s new build. I definitely would have risked it for the biscuit if I found the house to say hi. Unfortunately never found the house. Went to the Marion festival Saturday though…. Just thought I’d say what’s up. Y’all are very inspiring.

I jumped in at the state park. Saw some bass. I wish I brought my fishing pole. It’s a beautiful lake.

ARLO’s GEOMETRIC SKILLS ARE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 damn!!!

The key of framing walls like that is to start on the tall side of the wall so when you screw up a cut you can still use the board on a shorter section of the wall!

[@hotlineoperator]

This has become my favorite channel. Interested in when to use a nail and when to use a screw, which parts need to be left loose so they can move. I live further north, so they build a little differently here, moisture prevention takes into account condensation, three layers of windows, doors always open outwards from the room - and we use metric dimensions.

[@willbell9642]

My only comment regarding framing the interior rake walls is use your roof slope. 2.5”\12xspacing. If it is 16” spacing your common difference in stud length is 3 5/16. If you are using 24” for interiors it would be a difference in studs of 5” each. Using that you can build your walls on the floor and raise them as per usual. That’s how we Canucks do it 🤷🏽‍♂️ other than that I enjoy every video, only thing I don’t like is my impatience that has me checking daily for the next instalment 😅

[@thepagan5432]

Ramel, my condolences on your loss and I hope you find someone to share your closet space with. Every builder needs an Arlo, what a fantastic resource he is. Jaime's wall needs to left bare as a piece of 'Art Nouveau', similar to Banksy's 😂😅. Until next time take care guys and be well 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨

[@rafsh1846]

I am no builder but best way to do it when you want to cut angle on that piece go on top is by using longer piece hold it in place where you want it then use another piece that go flash on the wall from one side and mark the first piece on the other side of that piece setting flush against the wall cut that side first hold it in place again and mark the other side , another tip to build angle top walls by bulding the external frame on each wall in place lay it on the floor then fill it with the studs mark each stud cut line using the top plat then cut all the studs at once then fix them to the frame or fill what ever you going to do inside that wall and stand it fix it in place .

[@christophergarland5891]

Pro Tip For walls that go into exterior walls you should use (if 2x4 exterior) a 2x4 and then a 2x6 nailed to it to form a L shape. This allows you to insulate behind the wall partition and makes it easier for the electricians. If a 2x6 wall goes into the exterior we use a 2x8 to make the backing part of the partition.

[@sherriroach6]

Remember back in the day before OSHA we nailed up some temporary scaffolding so we didn't have to work on uneven ground & ladders? Just some 2"x4"s and planks, what could go wrong? On one job I made 16' high sawhorses, 2"x12"x16' planks with 2"x4"x16' stiffeners, 16' braces down to stakes, then up on a 16' ladder for a 30' high vinyl siding job.

Great video guys.

[@shibby4389]

I'd do steel stud for all the non load bearing interior walls but that's just me. It is much quicker to install since you are only cutting to maybe within a quarter inch for accuracy and you only need a pair of tin snips. It does cost a bit more and you will have to add a lot of backing but it saves time building it, has much superior acoustic performance and all walls will be dead straight with no crowns. They way you are doing it here with nailing the bottom and top plates on and back filling with studs is exactly how we build steel stud walls.

[@susanward4966]

Post frames have interior walls put up after trusses go on. I framed all of our interior walls myself. Took longer than the traditional way of building on the floor and standing them up.

[@KarlMcCleve]

Where I live in Arizona, they don't allow your petition walls t touch the bottom of the truss. As you know, they make a special sloted L bracket and we have to use that. You nail the top to the wall, and then you nail the slotted part to the side of the trust, allowing the truss to deflect if needed.

Studs to the ceilings is faster than pre cuts, top plate then another stud and another top plate. I framed 6 houses in a row, all the same with sloped ceilings. I tried both ways. We did start assembling them on the subfloor and standing them up into place. Just have to do the math correctly.

21:54 really cool ending to the flight. I only watch for the drone videos. That and Jamie jamming on the Jamie-splaning. Mostly for the splaning. Yea, the splaning. 😅

[@mrfochs]

@7:22 - the best rule of thumb I can give someone drawing up plans (by hand or digital) is to "say it once and say it in the right place." That means that you should never dimension something on more than one drawing and if you are not sure which drawing should have the dimension, place it on the drawing that goes to the trade/team that costs the most to fix if it gets built wrong. For any other drawings where you think that dimension MUST be referenced, put a note to "see sheet ### for detail." This way you never have conflicting numbers In this case, the dimensions should only show up on the foundation plan as that is the drawing that would go to the mason and excavator (if your team hadn't done both).

"Anyway" (one word) is an adverb meaning “regardless” or “in spite of the circumstances.” It's also used to transition between two unrelated topics. "Anyways" (one word) is sometimes used to mean the same thing as “anyway,” but it's generally considered INCORRECT by dictionaries.

[@surebrah]

It must take a ton of discipline to live the Perki Bois life. Nobody is making them get up early, order materials (much more of a PITA than people realize), take drone shots throughout the day, pack a lunch, pay everyone etc.. The temptation to slack off must always be there. All while staying in shape and having a positive attitude.

Does Perkins use line or dot lasers ? Also when making adjustments to the floor plan with the owner , is that just part of the price or do you add a change order to the price ? I love the house and the setting your building in . Does Perkins make any of the house plans you build available for purchase .

Yeah a cheap laser would have been much quicker, on those walls. Dot-dot connect the lines,and bisect the angles. Mine doesn't get used a lot,and wind never pushes the plumbbob.

all the house plans are the IP of someone else, so I don't see how they would be able to sell those plans. maybe on some of their own buildings they could release them, but that would be up to them at that point. that said, the plans do get some camera coverage in each build - though not in full
