Last week a storm brought a limb down on my house. Yesterday I tore off damaged shingles, and replaced a bit of the sub-roofing (a 48.5" x 11" pine board - it's an old house) and re-shingled. It took me 2+ hours and this morning I could barely walk to the coffee-maker. This is a roundabout way of saying I can't believe you work as hard as you do. You are actually an athlete of sorts.

Framing def requires you to be in excellent shape. A kid I used to work with had a fit bit watch and it was around 5 miles on average he "walked" everyday. Hence why almost all guys where I'm from frame in sneakers (weather permitting). Boots weigh too much!
@framingbeast720 Жыл бұрын
Oh wow I know the boards you’re talking about. I have an older house with same style boards on the roof. Thanks for kind words. Ya I think with framing being agile helps out. It’s almost like playing parkour for a living lol but having drive is equally important. Not too many “perfect” days so being able to mind f yourself to work through a bit of weather etc can really help

Quick question. Is this a Canadian channel? I want to know if the construction tips are as per Canadian guidelines. I am thinking of building a house in Calgary and wanted to watch some basic home building tips. One particular question I had was about sheathing. Are there any specific materials we need? Is it plywood or something else. If plywood, what kind of? What are the options. I heard some people use wooden sheets.
@framingbeast72011 ай бұрын
Yes this is a Canadian based channel. The plywood being used in the video is 3/8 spruce but I’ve used other less common options also. On high end homes I mostly get sent 1/2 spruce or in some cases zip board sheathing. 7/16 osb commonly used also. Really depends on the builder

Why use staples over 2 3/8 nails, is it just a speed thing because the gun is lighter and easier to manipulate?
@framingbeast720 Жыл бұрын
They hold better when properly set , half the price vs 2 3/8. Some people will challenge the strength debate of staples can stand coil 2 1/4,3/8. To that I say would you rather have a nail lodged in your leg or a 2 1/4 nail? Staples have reverse barbs on both sides which would be next level torture
