It’s the beginning of another adventure building a home start to finish with the Perkins Brothers and Crew!! As usual we are perched on a remote mountain top in the the Great Smoky Mountains, which poses it’s own unique challenges for construction.
On this episode we frame the lower level floor system! This includes installing the support posts, girders, and plates that attach the woodwork to the foundation!

German here: the advertisment says: Recommended by a professional: "This surely is the most important tool that you are going to own! This tool can attend at least a dozen tasks." Erik Perkins Master Builder

[@sanrasuzumaki942]

Thanks for the translation M8!

[@LordoftheCats]

I thought it said, "But wait! If you pay shipping and handling, we'll give you a second tool for free." LOL

[@verygoodboy2688]

Eric! I've decided to watch your videos while on the treadmill. The longer they are the healthier I become lol. You're literally improving my life now haha

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Glad to hear that! I’ll have to make about an hour video for you next

[@sebastianhampl9144]

As a native German speaker I can assure you that it’s absolutely fine what they wrote. It just tells the reader that you’re recommending the tool. And they refer to your position as a vocational masters in construction (which has a super high reputation in Germany.)

[@ArtificialDNA]

it that tool(s) go wrong they ( customer ) blame him " Erik Perkins Master Builder " for recommending this tool(s) .. !!! just say !!! ..

[@kiNGiReY]

Yep. German translation is the same.

[@gothard6761]

Yes, same for german

[@knoppenbrock7282]

Hi Erik, translation to 18:32: On the upper right corner it says in French: "premium quality for your work". Then in the middle: "very strong". Next to your picture it says: "Recommended by a professional. This is certainly the most important tool you will have! This tool can do at least a dozen jobs! Erik Perkins, Master Builder". Below the same text again in French.

Jamie should put a hitch on the front of his truck. Makes "Backing" a trailer down those long twisty roads easier.

[@mysterion4301]

I loved it when you realized you were headed to the wrong site. I feel better now. Every time I've started a new project I've done that more than once. It's an autopilot feature of our brains and the fact that every contractor is thinking about twenty different issues at any given moment. I've been at this 38 years as a contractor and the only time it doesn't happen is if the last project was in another county, state or country. Keep cranking out great videos...

For moving trailers in and out job sites like that, a trailer hitch on the front bumper of the truck should do the trick.

[@vince9486]

When we end up with a joist close in on the rim we just spray foam in there. Almost all of our houses on crawl space we spray foam on the rim anyway. Works great in Indiana.

[@ARL-LifesLessons.-nk4fd]

The Plywood nailed to the Sill Plate makes so much sense. You are the only one who suggested this , thanks so much..

[@jamespppyacek342]

One guy can toe-screw from proud joist to low one and suck it down to flush. Done it many times. Takes one guy, not two. Glad you guys are laid-back. If I'd done that in 1980 on the framing crew I was on I would have been "DOWN THE ROAD!" as the boss, Gordy, would say. We wasted no time. We got 'er dun. Basement Stem walls to 2nd floor roof decking in four days flat. Just framing. We were a speed-framing crew. It was brutal, but fun. I learned a lot. I learned how to produce.

[@derpina8330]

Watching all these vids from South Africa. Just bought a new home and i am about to renovate it into my new dreamhouse. I am not a builder but man have i learnt a ton. The works by the brothers is exceptional.

[@Cent51]

As South Africians, we are a little stuck behind time when it comes to alternative building methods or having some of the building product's you get in the States, EU, Austrilia and Canada. It also cost that much more to try and build with new products..

[@sandercurtis1847]

That's a gorgeous site with a fantastic view. Good job on the framing.

What should really worry you is when on your way home nothing looks familiar. Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas in my hometown Mr Perkins, there are always beautiful places to hike in the Desert. We are just starting out build in the High Desert this spring. Merry Christmas to all the Perkins Crew and their lovely families. Thanks for all the hard work you put into making the videos it is really appreciated.

Coool! You guys used the adhesive from your travels to Colorado .... eager to hear more about that work 'vacation' and the results.

I am a licensed GC in the same area as you guys but work a full time job during the day. Then we flip houses evenings and weekends. I have several times been heading to a flip when I'm supposed to be going to the 40 hr job. Guess it's not hard to figure out which one I would rather be doing.

Hello, here the translation: "Recommended by a professional. This is certainly the most important tool you will have. This tool can do at least a dozen jobs.

[@georgelutz8212]

Hey big fan .Enjoy all your videos .I'm a retired Carp. Back in say mid 90's I framed a small rancher and let the ceiling joists run long as you allowed the floor joists .In my case I failed my framing inspection cause the inspector claimed the overlap has to be 6" or less as the joist would tend to warp and pop the drywall.??? I was kinda po'd but I cut every one back and catspawed every nail out.Never ran nothing long again ...Hope it's kosher for you young guys ..Keep up the great work .

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Yeah I’ve never heard of that one… You are allowed to Sister Joists together so I don’t see what the difference is.
