How can we start the process to build our next dream home with the Perkins brother and the crew . You have won our trust with the great jobs and simple way you guys are .

[@marigeobrien]

I'm really glad Erik found Keeps. Clearly, it works. (I remember him in earlier videos and I definitely see a difference.) And, after watching my late husband go through losing his hair, I know it's a real bummer. I only wish it had been around when he was Erik's age.

[@toku1868]

i'll admit it, i am eagerly awaiting each and every video you guys produce. It is awesome to see your subscriber count continuing to climb, just means there will continue to be content!

[@CARyan08]

💯 percent agree. These guys have really hit their stride, they will push over 1M subs for sure with the great content they are producing.

[@tomahoks]

Yay, me too❤

[@joedunn1390]

Yes, me too every day. I check to see if they put out a new video. Also, I just got their Perkins brothers toolbelt I received last week. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet although

[@greezy937]

Same. And Victory videos as well.

[@Yundsy]

Very true , I love going on KZbin and seeing these guys with another video , great learning guides as well

[@emsroks]

I’m sorry but the absolute best part is when all 3 of them slung the nails out at the very same moment! Shows how in sync these guys are by working together so much.

[@walkingpizza1796]

After watching these videos for like 3 or 4 years im still surprised Erik still edits each and every video. This channel educates me a lot and is really entertaining as well as matching my interests Thank you.

[@ZipKickGo]

yup, they taught me how to use a rafter square before I started my first framing job.

[@marigeobrien]

Have you noticed how often they've started coming out with this build? I'm counting two a week. He works so hard!

[@colinstu.art.]

These guys all have motors, definitely inspiring

LVLs are pieces of wood glued together so they should be called Glue-By-4 :)

[@jmazoso]

I approve this message

[@shawnupdegraff8138]

I think this may inspire a family of new lumber names… Tru-by-4, Glue-by-4 New-by-4 (to replace a bad or damaged board) Blew-by-4 (when a tossed board doesn’t get caught and blows by the receiver and lands back on the ground, floor,etc.)

[@garystuart226]

Wonder if they use flitch beams , ie , a peace of metal is sandwiched between 2 x pieces of wood , as always inspiring watching these guys take so much pride in everything they do, a credit to the industry

[@yokatip]

@@shawnupdegraff8138... of it lands on the head of the owner, then sue-by-4😂

[@DuffyHomoHabilis]

A "flinch beam" would be piece of flat steel sandwiched between two True by Fours that gets tossed to someone who ducks, or "flinches" and misses it. But a "Flitch beam" is a regular ol' steel-and-2bylumber sammich.

[@gregh99]

When raising a tall and heavy wall, we do two things: 1) Screw vertical "fence posts" to the rim joist, to prevent the bottom of the wall from sliding off the floor. On a top-heavy wall, the posts are tall enough to ensure the bottom plate doesn't jump over them. With posts, you can reduce toe-nails, which will reduce effort in tilting up. 2) Use a rope looped over the top plate to prevent the wall from falling outward. Use 3-4-5 to calculate the diagonal length, add a foot or so, and secure the free ends to the sub floor. A 12ft tall wall, with rope anchored 16ft from the base, would mean diagonal of 20ft, so rope length of 21 + 21 + extra to secure to floor. It's a loop so you don't need to climb a ladder to free it.

[@kevincberry]

Great advice!

[@bionicman6969]

Good advice, surprised these boys don't use kickers, especially with tall walls and a long fall. Love the idea of using rope and how to calculate it. ty

[@bernardineisomaki50]

‘ that’s one way to do it’ 😉

[@willbell9642]

I came here to offer the same thing, up here in Canada we always put a kicker on the rim joist regardless of size, I will be steeling your rope idea for tall rake walls. 👊🏼

[@jamespppyacek342]

@@willbell9642 In '79 I was on a framing crew in Colorado. We used the kickers, or fence posts, or cleats, as I call them. to keep walls off the ground. We used duplex nails as there were no battery tools yet, and just knocked them off the rim once the wall was secured. Also we nailed the diagonal support 2x4s to the top of the wall before lifting so they were ready to cleat to the sub floor without climbing a ladder. Perkins' could use some pro-tips too.

I love that the owner is so involved in the day to day building. Also, rather appreciate the commentary on why you build the way you do, and include why other builders might build differently. So many ideas...

[@GaKMaine]

Erik we used to quickly attach a couple small blocks to the outside band vertically to prevent exterior walls from sliding off when standing.. as opposed to putting nail holes in your bottom plates or the floor. Quick and easy. Just a pro tip!

[@OUTDOORS55]

I hope you guys realize how lucky you are to have a crew who is easy going, and gets along. That's about as rare as the northeastern board stretcher. You guys seems like great bosses as well!

[@hotlineoperator]

I just watched the whole series "Mountain build" and throughout the video there are good tips that I didn't know before. All the little tricks of building and using tools could be collected into a book. You got awsome team with years of knowledge.

[@dennisoestermann1880]

Its called Pro tips :P But yeah they are informative.

I just bought the belt. Worn for two days. Like it a lot, only downside is I'm a lefty and would've liked the pencil slots on the left and the pencil slots to be an open pocket for my knife. Cheers from Michigan

Hello, I would like to watch your videos. What surprises me is your occupational safety. It's a miracle that no one has died yet. No helmet, no scaffolding, no safety when working at dizzy heights. And what I also find crazy is that you don't have any hot shoes in your foundation. In Germany every new house must have lightning protection. But you are entertaining and smart guys. Keep it up and all the best and best wishes from Germany.

[@mannymireles5010]

😂 I can never ever get enough of you guys, if I weren’t watching for the awesome builds, and the even better tips on building, I’d definitely be watching for the laughable, memorable moments.

Those high walls around 13' high are huge, my house is around 115 years old and has 9' high walls. The average height in the UK is 8', I accept that your roof slopes, but even so you will be quite high off the ground fixing the roof. Another fascinating insight into timber framing and the different methods to achieve the required strength factors. Great post, you guys take care. Thanks 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨

[@ernieforrest7218]

Short pieces of 2x4 fastened into the rim joist on the deck and extending above the deck a foot or so is also a good method for keeping walls from sliding off the deck when standing them up. And there are no nails to remove from the bottom plate after the wall is in place. As for the Bobcat, rent a skidsteer with tracks for the french drains and back filling before buying a small excavator. Same goes for the excavating, the skidsteer on tracks used in conjunction with the excavator will speed up the process. And would be usefull for rough grading, spreading gravel etc etc.

[@michaelc.3812]

Your editing skills are really getting better with each video Eric! You really do have that gift which most people only dream they might have. Lots of creative time on the computer ( one hour editing for each minute of content is the rule of thumb). I know Jay and Ray figured out how much work was involved and should give you the proper respect! Great job to everyone, as you guys have work to do and are being interrupted all day long.

I purchased a nice used skid steer. I will never go back. It has So many applications. Besides the obvious dirt moving abilities. I use the fork lift attachment more then anything else. removing concrete slabs, lifting stuff right off trailer, eg. ply wood drywall etc.. Lifting bucket all the way up to catch shingles when roofing. Putting plywood using forks up to the roof. carrying cubes of block next to where your working. can go on. Its on all our jobs now. A crane attachment to lift trusses. R&R buildings uses his a lot. But, like me. You guys do many trades. I think it would greatly help you guys. I would advise getting the forks with the next rental and try it out. My guys and I love the healthier backs we have. lol

Been watching all of you guys videos for the past months while being sick at home. They often have me a big smile, seeing how you all have lots of fun when building together. I live in Holland and wished they would build using wood instead of concrete here 2, but they don't. Would love to build something like u guys do, a big project that's is, like this one. I'm not a carpenter nor am I a builder of any kind and yet I build myself a nice outside half open shed, where we can eat and sit and watch TV outside. Keep up these videos they benefit lots of people in lots of different ways I bet 😉

[@AndyDakin]

It is interesting watching how houses in America are built. It fascinates me that a country with such wildly fluctuating weather has such flimsily built structures. Don't get me wrong, Im not criticising your work, as you are clearly extremely detail oriented with your craft, & I really do feel that tradespeople are artists & very often undervalued, but the way those outside structural walls are built are what my house in England has as simple room partitions. The outside walls of my house are built using stone & brick, double layered with insulation in the middle & are about 12 inches wide... Its fascinating to see the differences.

[@trueline.construction]

Happy Perkins Day!

[@Ninoy2059]

Did Jamie run over the blocks? Lol. Always fun build. Way to go guys.

[@JediahCummins]

The block saw* I also was sad we didn’t get to see the carnage

[@Sarutaru06]

For the raked wall stud spacing: why not use a construction master pro to determine stud spacing? Enter the length of the wall, hit run. Subtract the height of the tall wall from the short wall, hit rise. That should automatically update the pitch, which you don't even need to know. Now all you need to do is enter the known stud spacing and hit run, then hit diagonal and it will tell you the measurement for the same stud spacing on the diagonal point. There's all sorts of other ways to get useful measurements, but that has to be way more accurate than sighting down a chaulk line. And knowing the pitch should help get more accurately stud lengths. If you know the measurement to the short point or long point, you just have to cut it at that pitch whichever way it needs to be angled. You guys have a lot of "we'll just make it work" cuts in that wall that this would easily avoid.

[@milesharlan1]

I made it boys!! Thank you, KUTGW

[@adamschmierer2763]

Puerta Vallarta stayed at a house where two different sections of roof came inward and drained through a large boulder creek bed. Open air and amazing. Wild experience during the rains though!

[@ZipKickGo]

When I do rake walls this way I do my first stud spacing, find the diagonal spacing number like you guys did and then just fire it off on a calculator doing 16.3125 + 16.3125 = 32-5/8 = 48-15/16 = so on and so on. This lets me quickly layout to the nearest 1/8th and I guarantee I have no compounding error by the time I get to the other end.

[@jimurrata6785]

So no one knows how to read the common difference scale on a framing square any more? 🤔 There are plenty of calculator apps that will work if you know your pitch and one accurate stud length too.

I like Jamie's idea of the Inverted Roof. Now THAT would be really unique! And it could work. Of course, all the stress would be focused on that one, central spot so it would need really strong support at the meeting points. Hmm. Maybe try a model of it and then a prototype first to work out the kinks.

I just purchased a Bobcat E35 excavator. It is by far the best purchase I have ever made. It is always at my current project. I only build homes for myself and it has saved me a ton of money on rentals!!!!! I have just started to show me using it on my current project which is the lake house tear down and rebuild series on my channel Design Build and Fix. The e35 has done everything that I have asked it to do. It weights 8800lbs because I got the long arm version. I would recommend the long arm. The E42 is the 10000 model. When I sell this one I will just move up to that one. I am also a 28 year Technology Education teacher and I show my students your accident to let them know that these machines are very dangerous and require their full respect when using.
