Cabin in the Woods: Installing I-Joists and the Strongest T&G Subfloor

[@RRBuildings]

Thanks for hanging out and watching the latest installment of cabin in the woods!! Stay tuned this place keeps getting better!!

It definitely does keep getting better. Kyle, you are the man...and Greg, well, he ain’t half bad either!

I thought that was my ring camera going off haha

[@nicholashotmar1670]

I understand what you mean cutting ijoist to size to keep beam straight, but we always keep I joist a kiss away from the wall and clue the hanger so there is no squeaks

[@sandorbenyovics8170]

Truly informative! I needed a reference that highlighted basic wood frame construction methods & techniques where kzbin.infoUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU were best. I am pleased with the depth and clarity of Ryan’s Shed Plans. It was really convenient to capture!

I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete kzbin.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!

Best comment.

[@dsdragoon]

I hope the owner appreciates all the effort you are putting in making that terrific building.

[@JDDupuy]

Your customers have to be blown away by your quality of work. This building will be around 100 years from now, still with the R&R signature craftsmanship.

[@chrisbarr1359]

Take a few extra minutes and put up a safety railing so someone doesnt walk off the edge and become a quadriplegic. You guys are young and have a lot to live for. Be safe!! P.S. Love the show!

[@deanclarke706]

Nice job and good to see you using adhesive and nails every 4 - 6 inches. I wish the asshat that built my house in NS Canada had done the same instead of what they did, no adhesive and maybe 8 nails in an entire 4 x 8 sheet of 5/8 plywood which has warped.

[@matteberry58]

Just the second floor of this showplace would be an awesome cabin in the woods. Place is huge and looks great

[@azenginerd9498]

My "tip" for the tip: take a sports drink bottle (something with a little heavier wall and cap), drill a hole in the lid so the foam gun barrel slips in easily, and fill it partially with acetone. The gun slides in between uses and stays super clean. Keep a second lid with no hole to seal up your bottle at the end of the day.

[@richardbowles7690]

I always learn something from your vids. Your subscribe-o-meter is nearing 500K, so a lot of people feel the same way. You do great work and its a joy to watch a craftsman. Bravo.

[@chet174able]

We glue the tongue also to prevent squeaking and for strength just like gluing a mortise and tenon

Kyle is a class act and an excellent communicator. I also enjoy the Truewerk clothing he recommended as well as my Diamondback tool belt, pouches, etc. Yes, they are a little pricy but, as they say: "buy once cry once".

[@kevinadrian9366]

Really improved production on this video. It was a nice change and everything is looking great.

[@Randy_Gustafson]

Hey Kyle, quick "tip" on keeping your tip clean and unclogged. After running your bead down whatever material you are applying the foam to, rub the tip across a piece of wood. This will remove any foam that has been left on the tip. Cheers and welcome to the foam adhesive World.

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Great tip.

[@cuttheknot4781]

We have been using that adhesive in it 2 part configuration. The representative says that "great Stuff" in all forms is actually "Gorilla Glue" in foam form. get that stuff on your clothing and, well, it's there for life. Even letting it dry on your fingers is a rough clean up. Try using the regular "Great Stuff" insulation foam to joint flat lumber together (under compression/clamp) and you'll see just how strong even that insulation foam can be as an adhesive. Note: Ever see Gorilla Glue foam up? It will if used correctly via moisture.

[@diegoalonso225]

Awesome build! It's geting better and better. Regards from Argentina!

[@Hangovna]

Everything you do is so precise. So nice to see quality over speed.

[@amjorgy1]

Kylie being blown away by that great stuff adhesive.....it's the little things in life! Lol!

[@opendstudio7141]

$45 for 3 cans v.s. a case of tube adhesive is impressive. How many caulking gun squeezes did that save the old hand?

[@RRBuildings]

exactly!!!

[@thomaslhm1650]

Plus the time you need for opening/changing a new tube and also less rubbish on your job site (recycle... )

[@ryanwilson5222]

Kyle definitely sold me on that

[@ColeSpolaric]

My understanding is that a double top plate isn't necessary, and that it's all about preference. The double top plate helps with joining wall sections together to keep them straight, or square in a corner.

[@av1204]

You build the way I would build my own home. I have seen framers that dont give half the time you give to your work.

[@Hiswillformypath]

You guys are badass! Looks like everything you build is being built for yourself, very impressive.

[@RRBuildings]

That is always the goal thank you

[@tjhanlonjr]

At first I was like kyle isn't that way overkill for subflooring. But brother I am a convert. That is absolutely the way to go. I want to use that for my kitchen remodel

[@mnight207]

Kyle...I have a confession... I didnt like you for a looooooooong time. I found stuff to dislike about you....I finally came to my senses and realized youre a super cool guy. I was just jealous that were almost the same age and youre doing so much better than myself. Im a wannabe carpenter who is broke as a joke and couldnt stand seeing someone the same age who has it all together. Either way, my bad...I think youre an awesome dude and I wish I knew what you knew. God bless you and have a Happy Thanksgiving

[@RRBuildings]

Wow man. That takes a lot and although I’m sad to hear your situation, I respect a guy like you that is willing to confess something like that. Sorry I ever gave you reason to be negative. Best of luck man.

We've been using five quarter tongue and groove subfloor in Louisiana for at least twenty years. I wonder if it's a southern thing. My entire house, built in the late 60's, has outer walls, inner walls, ceiling and even roof decking all 3/4" tongue and groove.

[@MichaelSwartout]

You do very good work. Thanks for the informationals.

[@JimYeats]

Will be interesting to see how well the Great Stuff holds up and works. I wonder if it's just a longer curing, less expansive spray foam. If it is then that stuff is impossible to get off and separate from wood once it has cured.

[@shoptalkbehindthescenes]

I just installed Advantech 1-1/8", those panels are HEAVY

Im guessing the radiant floor heating is below where you are drilling into the concrete for anchors?

Great suggestion!

Started laying down some “fat beads”. Crack me up. Keep up the great work Kyle!!! I used the same stuff for the first time last winter. Was really impressed. We would keep a bucket of hot water on the deck and keep the container in it i between pieces to keep it warm in the 10 degree weather. Worked pretty good.

That subfloor looks like a hernia waiting to happen. 🤣🤣. Have you ever looked into Ram Board to protect the nice stained concrete floors? I have seen guys use that and it looks like it would be better than the individual cardboard pieces. Really like the build. 👍👍

[@PortersMob]

Ramboard is freaking expensive compared to FREE cardboard scraps. Especially when you consider that they only needed the floor covered for a day or two, mostly so they could use the lift without leaving skid marks at every turn.

[@GaryGold]

Nice job!

[@dasaini]

I had an extension built and we can definitely tell the new subfloor isn’t as solid as the existing.

[@peterboekel2035]

nice series thx. one question your brackets are sticking are lower than the I beams if you drywall underneath how do you prevent getting bulges? do you scrape out the drywall localy?

[@casycasy5199]

your drilling in a floor that has heating pipe in it.how do you know you won't hit it

[@MrBswede]

Guessing that they planned the tubing runs to be away from where they knew the walls would go. It would take some planning and you wouldn’t want to start rearranging wall layouts. Good question though. I wondered the same.

[@PortersMob]

Normally you would separate rooms into individual heating zones and therefore would have no pipes running under wall locations. An alternate option is to be very specific about the pattern of your heating pipes. Say every 12 inches a specific side of the building, even with an accuracy of =/-2 inches you can measure and find your 8 inch guaranteed no pipe locations.

[@byronk1987]

The pex tubes are usually on the bottom of the slab. There would be almost 4" of solid concrete before you hit something. Fasteners wouldn't go more than 2" into the slab

[@JRS2248]

Great job!

I've recently transitioned over to the LP 1 1/8 sub floor. It's hard to sell the owners on it because it's not the old fashion standard 3/4s and it is a bit more pricey but you can't beat the rigidity it gives. 1 1/8 floors is like walking on concrete.
