New video from EC...Good way to start the day !

[@leozmaxwelljilliumz3360]

Boy that makes me smile seeing you comment on EC videos

[@digitalman269]

Something I learned while I was a GC living and working in Hawaii for 30 years... Spray lacquer on your freshly snapped lines so they don't disappear overnight.

[@Judahmangi]

My dad uses a can of dollar store hairspray to keep his chalk lines from disappearing!

[@gregcollins3404]

I've never seen a builder this fussy about accuracy. But I've seen plenty of out of whack buildings. I and hopefully a lot of other builders are learning something here...

[@rjtumble]

So you don't subscribe to RR Buildings? Kyle is at least as fussy about accuracy and he's the most fussy in the same stage of the build.

[@jandrewmore]

@@rjtumble I agree, this really IS the phase to be fussy.

[@kierandoherty1600]

@@rjtumble this is slightly more complicated than the majority of the rr builds

[@rjtumble]

A while back I watched one of your videos about building a ramp into an existing home. It may have been your parents home, I can't remember. I really enjoyed your work as well as the narration of a variety of topics during that video. I subscribed to your channel and bought a t-shirt. I wear that shirt sometimes at work as a one man new construction plumbing contractor. I work on some high cost homes in the Lake Oconee area of middle Georgia. A trim carpenter noticed the shirt the other day and we began talking about your videos. I made a new friend and the world got a little smaller. You're giving us some hope that craftsmanship and integrity do still exist out there in the contracting world.

[@ModernMountainLiving]

Yes Mark that was his Mother's house. Scott put off this proposed build to focus on Family.

[@slingflur]

Man, I was hoping this was coming soon. Thanks guys. My five boys and I watch every episode. Keep up the good work

[@jiml5837]

Love the channel. Deviation accumulation or "Tolerance Stack Up" (as they refer to it in the Engineering world) can be a killer. The thing is that because deviations can cancel each other (If your lucky) or accumulate (If your not so lucky) I think that some people get lucky when they are starting out and never learn the lesson until... Bang the luck all goes in one direction and then they have a huge mess.

[@chuckmitchell4608]

Been there done that Haha!

[@tomneumair2025]

My father was a builder and I started as his apprentice 44 years ago. Like you he was very particular about the quality of the work and the importance of measure and remeasure and check it again. We weren't very busy when I started so there was time for him to teach me how to be accurate, how Pythagoras theorem works and how to double check from both sides to ensure the accuracy of the set out. 20 years later I went to university to become a surveyor and although I learned much more the principle of the basics is the same. What you're teaching on your channel is right on the mark (pun unavoidable). Thanks, I look forward to each one.

[@marvincarvin1846]

Accuracy is like knowledge - it is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. ALWAYS get as much of both that you can.

[@sarkisiangeorge]

I never heard this quote, but I love it.....

[@ModernMountainLiving]

Writing that one down....

[@ModernMountainLiving]

Scott I may have missed it, but surprised I didn't hear you explain the "3,4,5" Rule for squaring up. Good stuff, always good. Thanks

[@adampease]

Aspiring to learn construction as a "weekend warrior" with lots of projects so far, I feel like I'm learning from an uncle or older brother how to do it all right. Very grateful for the instruction

[@Finn-McCool]

As a cabinet maker I would always tease my carpenter buddy about tolerances. "1/8 inch!" I'd say..."That's enough to make me have to start over!" Then of course he would say "When is the last time you made a 50 foot cabinet" HAHA But to this day I must say he calls me on all of his cabinet work as a consultant. Never think that your 'network' isn't directly tied to your 'net worth'. They can both grow exponentially together 😉

[@cncwoodworxroc6881]

Also as a cabinet maker, in commercial work, 50 ft cabinets.....all day my friend 😉

[@Finn-McCool]

@@cncwoodworxroc6881 of course a 50 foot "run" of cabinets is commonplace. If each of let's say 25 cabinets were supposed to be 24" wide, they had better all be EXACTLY 24" wide. That 1/8" tolerance adds up quick.

[@cncwoodworxroc6881]

@@Finn-McCool all Too quickly

[@SuperAWaC]

i am a machinist, one thousandth of an inch is a mile to me, and stacking tolerances in the range of one ten thousandth of an inch can be come a problem. people often ask me if i can get their tolerances within 0.00004" and i say "yes, but it's going to cost you more to pay me to do that than it is to take this print back to your engineers and have them improve the design so the tolerance is 0.001" instead"

[@mcpheonixx]

I never had to work with wood but I made aluminum cabinets. It always amazed me how tight of a tolerance the human eye can pick up. I always held to the 32nd + or -

[@jimquick1855]

After we chalk the form we spray paint the lines with clear lacquer. This way rain or dirt will not erase the line making more work.

[@paultacy186]

Red chalk is waterproof, and just about lasts forever outdoors. And cheaper than lacquer.

[@niccomaker]

Not even red chalk lasts through a couple rainy days and foot traffic. I know. I've been through it. Lots of layout guys in California use concrete dye in their chalk boxes.

[@jaynaforsgren4755]

Congrats on 500k

[@moomastico]

Loving this series, tons of excellent tips and tricks here with a really good general overview of what's happening. One thing i'd suggest is that your glossing over some minute things which people of a certain disposition ( myself included ) would love to hear about. For instance in this video you mentioned having to fudge a few marks get the string lines to run true. It'd be nice to have a small explanation of which lines you moved and the reason you moved them that way ( maybe with a layover diagram ). That is real gold for people like me, an explanation on how your applying knowledge to this information at hand to reach decision, in a word Experience. Just loving this whole project, easily the best thing on youtube at the moment.

[@arkansas1336]

@Thomas Dixon...That "small detail" could be a loooong video. Your 'requested example detail' is things learned in high school geometry class and usually takes more than 'one class attendance' to learn. But Scott is "the teacher" that can give you the information you desire. I'm sure he might cover some of this as the structure is built as he will have many opportunities within the framing measurements/details.

[@moomastico]

@@arkansas1336 All very true and I'm quite comfortable with geometry, my comment was aimed at being constructive in a more general sense rather than anything else. Sorry if it didn't come across that way.

For me the minute, hate to say it "compromise" is that 1/8. 1/4" fudge on checking diagonals for square.

[@thepsychonaut8212]

this guy is freaking hardcore! great channel

[@andrewworley1776]

At 3:32 , it's a good example of "slow is smooth and smooth is fast". I've worked for both kinds of people, want it done fast and wanting it done right. Fast was always followed by cost repairs, drilling down beside rebar, bending it over to fit. I found it cost more to fix the problems, then lay it out correctly and let smooth take you straight through to the next step.

[@Jessassin]

5:45 "Transfer the mark [...] gonna leave my pencil there so I can find the mark" It's little things like this - very simple, not at all obvious, but make perfect sense in context. Thank you for sharing this information with the world, this is definitely one of the best instructional series' on KZbin!

How about a video on using a chalk line? What's the best way to get a crisp line? How do you avoid getting chalk all over your surface when you pull the string out? Can you overfill it with chalk? Do you have to wind the string back up for each mark? Bet that would make for a good 5 min video...

That is nice planning and good that you all double checked to make sure the measurements was correct before going any further. I don't know much about carpentry since I worked in other fields and only helped lay down concrete when I was a teen and helping a friend put down carports.

[@dblackjr52]

Its really coming together, and just like all my projects it's always so much prep work that goes virtually unnoticed as you narrow in on the variables at play and decide where and if the detail in question needs more persuasion. It's amazing though, when you can construct something regardless of difficulties and are able to do something so practical with your skills. I've been anxiously awaiting every video and truly appreciate the access to your content, Thank you Scott and Thank you Nate. I'm so glad this is such a stark contrast to the housing developments that I see down here in California that seem to only be driven by population density unlike this beautifully crafted home.

6:15 Gees, you're building the only square walls have ever seen. True unicorns ! When I started I used to be bothered by out of square walls. Now I don't even check if walls are square, I just assume they aren't. And anyway, my skills evolved in such a way that I don't even need square walls anymore (I do home renos: drywall, tile, floors, cabinetry etc...).

[@2chipped]

One of my first jobs, was helping the contractor layout , a new house build. Squaring to the road, batter boards etc. The 2 most important tools, were on my first day. Strings, Pythagoras (3,4,5). Now-a-days they are spraying clear coat on top chaulk marks, in case of rain. Or using layout lasers. My tip for marking, concrete to hold visibility thru dew and rain.. Is gently going over with an diamond blade on an angle grinder. This mark is permanent typically on stamped concrete, so it needs to be dead on.

As a ceramic tile contractor I've seen every out of square and out of plumb building ever. I'm not talking 1/4 inch or 1 inch, but several inches. Then the contractor/developer wonders why I can't fit perfectly square tiles in a trapazoid shaped room without angled cuts. How about a custom two story seaside house overlooking Laguna, CA. out of plumb by almost a foot. Ya ! 12 inches of lean. Builder planted some fast growing eucalyptus to hide it. Love your channel Scott.

Very interesting. Nice video. We do basements with the major them being large and cut up. To do one or a few homes a year like this wouldn't be bad and accuracy is a must. We bought a total station and is worth every penny. We do more than just a few basements a year though but reduces layout time dramatically. Enjoyed your video.👍

[@Adamsadventures83]

The biggest problem with rough carpentry is the mentality of "close enough" Also the lumber industry doesn't help when they sell dimensional lumber that's got an extra 1/8 - 3/4 inch of length on their boards and some people never bother to check for those deviations. The next biggest problem is cost cutting practices and so many going with the bare minimum on what the plan calls for for joists, rafters, trusses, sheathing and how they're all attached with nails and other fasteners. My biggest pet peeve is roof sheathing and the use of H clips so you can skimp down to the next size. If your entire house is built to minimum standards it's going to flex and move constantly, floors and roofs will sag and then push and pull on the walls they're attached to.

[@TheDesertRat31]

Well also, so many people don't want to pay for better quality or better accuracy.

[@choimdachoim9491]

Regarding the Lumber Industry...I caused myself a lot of trouble when I naturally assumed that 4' X 8' sheets of 3/4" CDX plywood were square on the ends and precut a bunch to save me time. When I built my 2 story house I had big problems because the 2" X 10" floor joists varied in width by as much as 3/8". When the supplier delivered lumber for the internal walls I had to stack all 2" X 4" studs with spacers and dry them out for 2 weeks. The next big job I did they delivered exactly twice the number of each size and type of board and plywood which bounced my account which caused my client to lose trust in my original material estimate. But, like most jobs, everything got straightened out and I lost 3 days separating the lumber so they could pick up the excess and going on 3 @ 40 mile round-trips and arguing, showing them the printed copies of my order that they had in their office, taking them out into their store and showing them the simpson clips that were labeled with L instead of R, etc. Sorry, I got carried away. Old guys start spilling memories like a 2 year old pouring a glass of milk.

[@deanraffington1017]

Thank u maan ur a great teacher, wish I could be a part of your team to do some practical that way I would learn more .

[@robert_wylie]

One more step that I would recommend is to grind with a diamond wheel on a grinder ,a shallow groove at each end of every line you have flicked out . because at some point you may need to reflick a line that has washed off from rain or covered in mud etc . even using black oxide I find snap lines do disappear . the few minutes this takes now once you are happy with your set out can save heaps of time latter if you need to reestablished a set out line .

I saw a TV episode in a series that followed builders of somewhat crude cabins in Alaska. But one of them used a cluster of laser devices, one of which sat in the middle spinning in a 360-degree circle. The effect was to create a group of intersecting "light" lines, similar to strings, where they marked for sticks to layout the corners, walls, and other parameters. I guess some of it was the same theory that you are using, just modernized. But there was a storm, and some of the sticks were knocked over, then set back up a bit carelessly by others - which messed up the accuracy and caused problems later. As they say, the best laid plans of mice and men...
