Its crazy how quickly the videos go. I feel like i just turned it on and its already over. Thanks for putting these together every week!

[@guitarplayer7400]

Yeah, exactly same thought after the video is over.

[@TimGGleason]

Looking through the previous videos and it seems they hit about a quarter million views by the time the next one comes out. It’s wild that nearly the population of Pittsburgh is watching along with a series this long.

[@baldweezy2362]

Jason’s the best guy to have on your team man. He needs more love yo. Check him even just holding the tape when Jamie was describing the distance between the studs. Dude just always wants to help out. Well done brother👌🏽

[@JosephForgione]

If I were to have another house built, I would definitely have the Perkins Builder Brothers construct a new home. First of all, they study the blueprints and ensure the construction accurately follows the plans. They make prudent decisions to ensure the structural integrity of the building. Additionally they set high standards for themselves and the talented crew. These guys have a great rapport. In my humble opinion these guys are the model for construction companies.

[@albertorozco5981]

Jaime has the knowledge and skills to handle the inaccuracies in the plans. 💯

This build is the case study on the added cost of a bad architect.

[@SHOE53]

Yes the wife who work in the trade for engineers and architect as a drafting engineer when I show this video laugh and said what a lazy ass architect but not that unusual in today world.

[@woodlyz]

@@SHOE53 a friend who is a builder says he can usually tell by the name on the plans how much extra work he's going to have to do. I was thankful that when we decided to work with him that he connected us with an architect who he worked with regularly and knew the quality of their work. I never would have realized it before then.

[@aaronthiel9857]

Architects and Engineers are consistently getting more lazy. Stinks when the Structural Engineer ships calculations overseas to cut corners and then everything has to be 'Worked' out in the field. Good on you to test the dimensions before you start cutting.

[@Sarutaru06]

The "where did the architect pull that measurement from?" on already minimalistic plans is always a treat.

[@sarcasmoish]

this house is from a house plan mill, not an architect. so many issues here that drive me nuts.. bedroom doors that overlap exterior windows (or other doors) when open, window heads that don't align. not to mention missing dimensions, missing window head heights, bad closet placement, etc.... you would think that on such a sizable, "custom" house, the owner would have hired an architect

[@ramellesmith1520]

PBB and crew’s creative wordsmithing - making me laugh! Good job building on the Mega House! Stay well ❤

[@deroobj]

Please include a Coyote intermission for any Jaime math calculations from now. Loved it

[@g3saskwatch]

Should throw the free tools Max's way. I think sometimes it is easy to forget how expensive everything is to somebody just starting out.

[@randomviewer3494]

yeah. So glad over here we don't have this nonsense of bringing your own tools. Company provides them for you.

[@Jsjsjjssjs]

wait you are expected to PAY for your tools? Like drills and all?

[@g3saskwatch]

Fairly common for workers in the trades to have to pay for their tools

[@alfawavesgrowth]

+1 on this

[@markdoumert]

@@JsjsjjssjsThats how its done here. A new guy is not expected to have everything, and large equipment/ super specialized or expensive tools are normally provided by the contractor that employs the workers. But a journey level trades person is viewed as someone that can independently take on work, fit into any crew on any job, pick up and move to a different site or company independent of being strictly an employee of someone. Of course different companies do it different ways, and many guys stick with one company for most of their work. But in general once you hit a certain skill level you should have at least a basic suite of tools for your trade. A carpenter should have hand tools, a set of bags, and at least a cordless drill and circ saw, maybe a nail gun. Most have more, and many guys end up with some specialized tools for specializing in trim or cabinets or some other niche. Things like ladders, scaffolding, or a forklift would be provided by whoever is signing your checks unless it is your job and you are dealing with an owner or gc.

[@Cooper1]

I like to put my fire blocking at a 4' interval if possible (to pick up drywall) or least all the same height to make installing insulation batts quicker (can cut all same length). Cool build!

[@AndrewConway]

Using a crooked piece of Lumber to straiten out the rest of the frame is why I love you guys... It means I'm not alone.

[@ozarkdaredevils]

The circle with the triangle above it is a detail for that cabinet section ... You need to turn to that page and that drawing for layout .

[@jaideacon9051]

the vacation after the completion of this job will feel good

[@helengesell2668]

I am so happy to see the care given when measuring for everything before even all the walls go up.

[@anhopkin]

Wild to me you guys are doing this type of house without all engineered studs. I know the cost is much higher but between all the time you spend figuring out good vs bad studs, wasted material, planing out everything for drywall and accuracy, and more, I think all that time/labor would be worth it on the next project like this

[@guitarplayer7400]

@PerkinsBuilderBrothers thanks for your channel, it's really nice to see you all the time, guys! Would be cool to see a movie with pre-construction-site work like drawning in the sketchup and so on.

[@RJ-rn3uv]

Hey guys, when I was building, (71 now), we built tons of sloped walls. We would determine how many studs we needed, put then tight to each other, mark both end studs to correct height, snap a line, then cut them while setting tight to each other. Believe it or not they always came out the right height. Just try it by marking them and see if the lengths come out correctly, did for us.

[@KingofFools]

The right height, sure. But the angle of the bevel would be wrong.

[@Natedoc808]

We would lay them down on the ground, get the measurement on first and last stud then snap a line across the tops of the rest- gives you length and bevel

[@KingofFools]

@@Natedoc808 Yeah if they are spaced out correctly it would work, but not if they are tight together.

[@mikemaine3542]

This also works for interior walls on out of level floors or skabs

[@adavelaar]

So I wonder with all the changes in the plans to a lot of unknowns originally (like not have the truss details yet) if this is one of the most difficult built to date. I can't remember them talking much about the detail changes in previous projects and I've been watching a few years now.

I still haven't heard about those H-beams you installed in their beam pockets. If they're sitting on a steel plate, fine. But if the plates are supported solely by 2 adjustment nuts underneath, on 2 one inch threaded rods, then the entire point load is supported by the rod threads, not the entire reinforced vertical support.

Bit shocked that architects drawings so lacking... good job Jamie is good at maths and sketchup!!!!

[@V-post]

I’d be interested in see the entire conversation about the roof trusses. That’s the part of building that I find interesting and seeing great minds meld a single idea into a plan.

[@13474sf]

I‘d be very interested in your and the customers view on how working with a pre-made design of the internet worked out. Such a different workflow compared to a custom design. Way cheaper upfront, but seemingly not without its challenges. Greeting from an architect in Europe

[@13474sf]

I found the source of the design: It can be found on advancedhouseplans: modern mountain style house - Sadie. Never heard of a project of this scale being based on a set of $2500 plans.

[@rnickerson]

$2,500 is definitely cheaper than what you would pay an architect for a building of this scale, though it would be interesting to quantify Jamie’s time in sketchup and the crew’s time fixing things caused by incorrect/incomplete plans.

[@kschleic9053]

Building from a pre-made set of plans at this scale would be impossible without a top-tier builder like the Perkins Brothers... Imagine the clusterF that would have happened on roof truss day if the builder just blindly followed those wall heights😂😂😬

[@forwardhomeenhancements2622]

The framing square is a good tool to figure out the gain on those studs.

[@reelmatthewswinslow]

As an appliance installer, I used to tell builders to make opening for dishwasher 24-1/8 due to slight variations in dishwasher types as not all are standard. Some have thick rubber gaskets around them that will bind into the door and eventually cause them to leak. Also, always have an outlet under sink to plug it into. Customer can always unplug in case of issue. We would split the receptacle so other was on switch for disposal. Small things that help down the road for future maintenance.

[@robertbeirne9813]

Dishwashers should be hardwired to a separate circuit.

[@reelmatthewswinslow]

​@@robertbeirne9813at least two brands, one being Bosch come with plugs, or purchase optional junction box. Junction boxes should always be accessible, not hidden in a cavity. I've seen too many problems out of hundreds of installs of previous installations done wrong. My purpose is to first make easier on future installers, and secondly homeowners. Some models have locking mechanism on them, and if it leaks it more efficient to unplug them, say the drain clogs or someone installs the drain wrong and it gets backed from the sink, than to run to whatever location circuit panel is. Dishwasher and disposable can and should be on their own circuit together.

Use a construction calculator for all your layouts on pitched walls very fast and accurate. A 3/12 is easy for every 16" run the rise is 4" so just add 4" to every stud instead of measuring all of them. But hey SketchUp is cool to 🤷‍♂️

the blocking should be for drywall as well as fireblock? a little unclear, jamie's hat is appropriate, nice focus on tools and this is a monster build but appropriate for size of the crew - will keep you busy for a few weeks. maybe they will do 10' sheets vertically for the drywall? hopefully you will use 4" foam board to insulate - good content

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

I've always found it interesting that you don't frame with noggins (your wall blocking). We have always built (in Australia) with noggins to suit the Giprock (your Dry Wall) at 4' staggered centres as we build the frames on the ground. I can't believe how poor quality the timber is, I reckon back in the day I would have rejected that stuff & sent it back!! I used to grade all the studs with the worst ones getting cut down for Noggins! Love the show a always (max has been hanging around jay for too long, seems to have picked up some of the "un truths" 🤣 Very funny Max!! 👍👍

[@jimr4566]

For those slanted roof walls, seems like there should be a way to make a regular wall with the same length studs them put a small right triangle on top to make up the roof slant. Essentially two pieces but hopefully more accurate.

[@johndixon4003]

Then you’d have a hinge point to brace!

[@rnickerson]

It create at hinge point where they marry together, requiring other measure to overcome. On balance, it’s usually better to do as they did, even if it means stud by stud
