LET RAY TALK😂😂😂😂😂, there is nobody else on social media like you guys,my husband has been a carpenter since the age of 15, and he is now 48, and is a dedicated watcher and fan, and yes i have been brought into the fold as well, but im just a writer and an artist, I couldn't build a a box if I tried, anyway thank you guys for all you do and keeping my man motivated,,, and yes LET RAY TALK MORE,😂😂😂😂 love you guys and keep up the great work you do,

[@OperationDarkside]

To be fair, to make a proper square box it takes quite a lot of skill and experience. Or 200 clamps, a lot of glue and a year's worth of sandpaper.

I love how everyone on the crew contribute solutions to the problems encountered during a build. Anyone who hires the Perkins bunch is very lucky🍀 to have them. Very talented men. This project was full of problems, surprises and very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamespppyacek342]

I would have shimmed out that joist or girder beneath the girder for attaching the drywall. That tapered shim situation seems no bueno.

Hilti makes a device similar to what you’re trying to do. Uses a piece of uni stut and some concrete anchors. Works like a charm. And yes. You can get split jamb doors without the trim.

[@alastairdallas]

@14:03: Another method for stiffening the bottom of the railing: Drill into the concrete, set rebar in epoxy, set the wood on the rebar on a drilled hole.

[@interesting7906]

This was one of the best vids. IMO is much more involved to do a good job on something like this than to build a home from scratch. In my previous house in NJ had severe termite damage and I had to rebuild the entire front wall of the house and brought it back to new construction level with my father. Fun times.

[@leonjo5859]

In the Netherlands if we build a wall in side we sometimes used osb under need the dry wall. This is so you can Puth everywhere a tv ore a painting without the dry wall plugs.

[@jamespppyacek342]

On the stair you could build a return for more support... say a 10 or 12 inch stem wall, and in the resulting alcove have shelves for books, or knicks and knacks. Or in this case, since you have a wall two feet away, build a set of two-foot structural shelves fastened to the adjacent wall. On the free-standing end of a stem wall I've cut a hole in the floor, and extended the end post 4x4 down into the 3 foot crawl-space where I dug a shallow pit, lying on my side, poured a sack of ready-mix, topped that with a pier, and fastened the post to it.

[@firemanj35]

Man, that's a lot of money for a weather rock. I got mine out of they yard. Cost me like .10 cents in string. Hasn't failed me yet. 😂 Jamie I did work for a contractor who always sheeted his kitchens under the drywall so he never guessed at stud locations. I thought it was a little to much bet he really believed in it. All 3/4 ply. He also always had us rip 1/2 ply by 2 1/2 inches and nailed it on all the walls. Then drywalled from there up. Always had solid material to nail base board to.

I recently bought a commercial dehumidifier from Vevor based on this channel and holy crap, I cannot express how terrible it’s been. It was broken out of the box, it had leaked all of the refrigerant and would run but didn’t dehumidify. This was a month ago and I started a case with their chat support (very difficult to find a number to call) I’ve been going back and forth with them for a month because every reply takes days. I received a message from them today offering me $36.00 to keep the item rather than replace it. WTF!? Why would I want a broken dehumidifier that I paid $400 for if you give me 36 bucks back? It’s been the worst customer support I’ve ever dealt with. Love the channel and I am not blaming the Perkins Bros, this is just a warning. I personally will never buy anything from them again.

Great work ya'll; this isn't in the playlist with the other two episodes.

[@stephiluttrell3416]

There's not a lot of material at the bottom. I had to trim one an inch I think and there was just a sliver left. So I took the piece I cut off pull the front and back side off leaving just the wood. A touch of sanding followed by removing dust adding glue sliding the solid piece in clamped it and put a couple of 18 gauge brads on each side. It's now the right height for the carpet and has a decent amount of wood at the bottom.

[@nicholscarpentry]

In my area split jamb doors can be ordered without casing.I would definitely shim split jambs though since they move so much

[@melshea2276]

We worked on a mansion where we had 2x6 walls with 3/4 ply on both sides, house wrap on the outside,with strapping over wrap, at studs,with another 3/4 ply on top of the strapping to create air vent! Then covered outside with Revere wear copper siding, inside with cherry paneling ( also 3/4 inch )!! That’s 4 layers on all walls! It was only a 3 million dollar 1930’s Tudor Mansion that we threw 12 million more dollars at over 2 years!😮

[@EricJ0hansson]

Just a small FYI regarding "I have a dream that one day we'll put sheathing on the entire inside of a house". That's actually how we usually build things here (Scandinavia, Sweden to be exact). Usually it's something like OSB on all the walls and then dry wall on top of that. At least the outer walls, but usually the other interior walls as well.

[@niper99]

When I was remodeling bedrooms, I tore the closets out and rebuilt them different. The insides got 1/2" sandeply instead of drywall. I wanted to be able to hang anything anywhere later. The surface was really smooth. I used joint compound at seams and such as if it was drywall. I was very happy with it.

[@JeremyTisdale]

When I built my house we sheeted the main cabinet wall with plywood that was equal thickness to the sheet rock. It was a great backer to hang cabinets from. Didn’t have to worry about missing blocking.

[@jamespppyacek342]

They make iron hold-downs to attach the framing to the foundation. We have to use them in CA on commercial buildings cuz of earthquakes and all.

[@karlmckinney8469]

I think remodeling is much harder than building new. If something is not right in the original build, you have to adjust at every step along the way

Good morning!🇵🇭

[@kd0407]

You guys are fantastic builders, but you'd benefit from learning how to float a wall with a mud knife. I love watching your videos and I've learned many things from you. Nonetheless, mud finishing is not that scary and actually quite rewarding when you pull it off. Why do nearly all contractors and sub-contractors shy away from drywall finishing? I guess I shouldn't complain, that has given me an edge (ha ha!) in the business many times. At any rate I think the work you do and your channel's content are great. Keep it up!

[@rebelliocross519]

You need only one such flying termite in your car for them to begin a colony in your house too!

after watching you guys over the years, i had faith in your build skills. But, i tell you what i have never seen a set of stairs challenge you so much, have you forgotten how to build things? maybe we should put Jay in charge of the build next time, he sorted his own stair out quicker in his series, working part time.

Amazing job at knowing how far to go and a great job of rebuilding credit to everyone on this tricky intricate small necessary repair. Hope the homeowner knows that termite infestation is still active and gets proper treatment or repairs will shortly be destroyed.

The best online weather is from Ryan Hall (Ryan Hall Y'all). I'm just a fan, not any other motive in that. Glad to see you all do a bit of reno. Very different from new home construction.

[@munkydotorg]

I installed several of those split frame doors at my old house. Wacky opening widths, wacky everything. You do need to shim them, which can be difficult for wacky openings. But for the cost and ease they are great. Built a custom frame for one door, while it came out looking nicer, for me doing it DIY I don’t know if it would have been worth it if I didn’t have a specific need for how that door frame was set up. That being said, if I were getting a custom home build, I would prefer them being built by hand (looks better, feels better, will probably last longer, way more options about finish, etc), but would also be ok with that being the place to cut a cost if need be.
