Re-Learning To Frame In Colorado | Overhangs, Blocking, Rake Walls [On The Road #2]

I went out to hang out with Jarod Coffman in Denver, Colorado. To walk projects and learn how things are done differently there as opposed to California. The walls they build and the way they do their overhangs are drastically different than our methods out here. Both seem to work and have reasoning behind them.

This is a great video. It’s really great to see all of you younger guys stepping up and showing us old guys how it’s done today!👍👍

Hey Matt- I’m a 20 yr old contractor based out of Monument, CO (about an hour south of Denver) I’m inspired to be a carpenter, I’ve been watching your videos for close to 3 years now and seeing you in my home state is awesome. Thank you for making the content you do and providing me a lot of the knowledge that I have now that contributes to my business.

[@MattBangsWood]

I’ll be there again in December. Let’s get together with Jarod and chat. Would be happy to make that connection and help in any way we can!

[@jacksondunphey2620]

@@MattBangsWood I would appreciate your time. How would you prefer to get in contact?

[@Vasen1983]

Mr.Coffman probably has the youngest team of carpenters in the USA, but over time they will become more and more experienced and skillful, and I am sure they will achieve a lot in life. About the falls everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but it gives you additional experience, and it will help you make fewer mistakes in the future to do your job even more efficiently and faster

[@donmamon9263]

Framing pays like crap and is hard on the body, that being said, I love it (someone has to do it right?). Can’t blame my peers for wanting more comfort and better wages, however.

[@MattBangsWood]

Have to agree with you there, needs to be regulated in a way where pay can go up.. Problem is it directly impacts home prices, across the board the trades don’t pay what they could.

I began working for an architectural firm in Truckee/Tahoe, specializing in custom homes. I've recently started visiting construction sites, whereas before, my role primarily involved drafting, and I never had the opportunity to be on-site. Your KZbin page is AWESOME, providing me with a virtual experience of being on construction sites and learning. Keep up the good work. I just hit the Subscribe button

[@Californians_go_home]

It should be a requirement as an architect to have first hand knowledge of every aspect of construction in order to graduate. Minimum 6 months in the field actually assisting every trade. Super beneficial to you and even your future design work. Not everything can be taught in a classroom. If you are in the field, many times you will learn what not to do also. I would admire any custom builder who supported something like that.

you get real snow there. this down in the lower flat land ,we get 20-40 inches max here .

[@tommychong1173]

Bullshit you can go to trade school to learn how to frame . I learned how to do this in high school from a man named Larry Volstine everything I know about how to build a house from the ground up read plans , and how to frame on the job from a guy named John Kern. Everyone on KZbin acts they know this from birth but we all learned from someone older than us . You don't need a construction calculator just the calculator on your phone, but nice to have , all of that can do done in your head. Just need to know too go from decimals to factions, not that hard if you know what your doing. And the people we learned this from n taught us how do this need some love n good ole respect n recognition.

[@MattBangsWood]

My whole channel is built around knowledge passed down from two generations before me. Jarod himself says that he learns from those around him too. I do not believe a trade school will teach you to frame custom. I do not believe it. I believe it can help you learn, but nothing aside from trial and error on-site building will teach you what you need to know to build large scale homes.

[@tommychong1173]

@@MattBangsWood you can't learn how to read plans on site, notes , schedule ( door n windows) , elevation n details unless your the builder kid or if the olds people teach you. But in all better to know this stuff when u get on site so you can set your price and not get screwed over , getting a low wage for hard work.

You’ll never hear me talk about ZIP as if I’m a building science guru, I actually can’t stand hearing about thermal bridging, WRB’s and everything that comes with this stuff. The stuff I’m doing at IBS 2024 is just due to being young in the space and them wanting fresh faces. Huber enjoys having us do stuff like this because we don’t sit and talk about how air permeable the backside of the moon is.. We just build stuff.

[@RobertJLessard]

Zip seems better for the builder as it's faster but I'd rather have tyvek on my house. It's better than the green coating which seems more prone to leaks since the nail holes aren't covered especially if nails are driven too deep.

[@heartpimp]

Hi Robert, lots of content from both Advantech (mfr) and independent tests showing overdriving nails has very little to no impact on Zip's performance

[@TheCewilson19]

Regular house wrap is littered with staples for what its worth

[@Natedoc808]

The nails seal far better than all the staple holes and tears you get in tyvek. I’d rather have 60# tarpaper shingled properly than tyvek, then use aero barrier once it’s dried in.
