The Ultimate Guide to Framing Tall Walls

[@SmoothieGuyAZ]

For me, you are a perfect balance of good quality work methods, excellent videography, light and comical banter of the perfect dosage, and very good instruction! Wow! I couldn’t imagine a framer out there that wouldn’t benefit. Thank you.

[@highdesertjohn]

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast! I love that motto but I didn't abide it in my years of framing. I'm 42 with and have framed for 24 years, I have had carpel tunnel surgery on both hands. My grip and hands are already bad at my age. I didn't take care of my body and nobody around me encouraged it, it just want talked about. But now a days I tell the young guys to take care of themselves.

[@interesting7906]

As my boss said to me once: "more is plenty, and slow is just fu*king slow!" 🤣

[@larrybouget7959]

Just found your channel and I'm glad I did. Getting ready to build a 30'x70' work shop with 12' eaves and an 8/12 pitch. I was undecided if I wanted to stick frame the roof or use trusses that I would build. Thanks for the videos.

[@kendavis5711]

Great video all around. Super informative and the long form video ROCK! I am from the Olympic Peninsula and vacation it NC. I have shared your videos with some builders in NC with great reception ands respect. Keep up the great work, education and humor.

[@Over65Retired]

Excellent Video your Dad is stoked for sure to carry on the family tradition I just officially retired after 51 years as a framer. On schools there is a lot of balloon framing. Your skills and enthusiasm is keep the trade alive 🤙🤙

[@glenncallahan9037]

Onsite prefab! Love it! Thanks for the video.

[@yuvanbaldwinew9282]

Sweet. I've watched the video where you were on the Parkes Brothers, I think. Either way, your style is what I learned as a 90s kid. Keep it rocking, bro .

[@davidkelly5882]

So , what weight was the first wall that you lifted ?

[@GraceBuilt541]

Great wisdom. Can’t believe its free! Thank you!

[@lorenrickey5481]

All these new sawall blades with carbide teeth are awesome. Just like the framers that use them. See what I did there?

[@mrpanda39]

I can see that using a form of raking shore on those big walls would be handy. That way you can just spin to get the walls plumb, especially handy with only 2 people.

[@MrRafa2196]

I'm sure you've answered this before, but how do you get through inspections with balloon framing?

[@RealMrBitstream]

I have 16’ walls and needed an engineer stamp here in Northern California.

[@makethingshappen8427]

Wow 1/4 th the time! Thought ballon was an ancient technique used in the Roman times. That was inefficient and a fire hazard. Thanks for bringing a new perspective!

[@JeanClaudVanDabb]

Do those braces under the soffit not mess up the siding at all or am I missing something ?

[@Katya5cat]

I can say for sure a clean job is safe. Not only that, walking on saw dust or dirt on a solid surface will rob you of energy. Yes, when your foot slips just that little bit, it creates an inefficient use of your energy. I found many years ago that a clean floor will make your day easier.

[@kylefossvh]

Just curious if the inspectors care that the siding is installed before framing inspection? Only because its a sheer wall with nailing requirements.

[@AwesomeFramers]

@@kylefossvh yes they do, unless we talk to them first 👍

[@ghettojendric]

Can you tell where you got those brackets for the lift? Thanks

[@robertomoreschini]

It is really a great video for all the stuff you said about body , works and tools with method and brain. No many companies have sistem

[@44godson]

Great video. Nice Balloon 🎈 work 👏🏾 🔨

[@siamromuana360]

Where is the finishing of this house and home tour? Please can you share? I don't find in your channel!

[@rennpartsdirect]

How would you frame a wall that tall if it was for a garage addition that did not have the concrete floor poured?

[@raffiraffi9370]

Do the lift with a couple of head sets for better and safer lifts.

[@larrymashburn7789]

You may have went over it, but what did you do for fire mitigation? I figure you did fire blocking from 1st to 2nd. Just curious.

[@AwesomeFramers]

That's the 4x6 blocking at panel edges 👍

[@larrymashburn7789]

@@AwesomeFramers I figured I missed it. I have a living room coming up with some 18 ft walls, this video gave some great ideas. Thanks.

[@jordang4998]

Do you have a video for the roof on this house?

Sooo hot? Come to Az in summer, you would be begging for 80 degree days, lota of days here get 40 degrees hotter than that! Its all relative haha. Keep up the good content

[@MAD-DUKE]

Love this stuff!

[@colorrainday]

Is the building in MA ?

[@zeyuli8011]

Good work

[@oupekha]

Hi I am building an ADU square shape 800sq ft (20x40) what is a reasonable cost for framing? I am in Bothell WA

[@johnschorr596]

Never seen windows installed into walls on the floor. And then stood up. Do you have one guy on each window when ylu are plumbing walls? must have a nice inspector, they would never let that slide here.

[@interesting7906]

I don't care how thick subfloor is but, 2x10 every 24" seems like a super flimsy floor with lots of flex. I bet that as soon as the joists settle and glue dries it's gonna be more squeeky that a Japanese nightingale floor. Plain silly design just to save a couple of thousand bucks in materials.

[@AwesomeFramers]

You don't care how thick the subfloor is? Then you aren't interested in learn eh?

[@interesting7906]

@@AwesomeFramers Not much to learn, this is america, no subfloor is going to be above 5/8 or 3/4 at the best depending on local codes. It may be ok while the material is new and grippy but as soon as the moisture drops by 5-10% seasonally is going to become a springboard. I am sure all the floors have calculated by the same people that tested the Boeing 737 max that blew apart in mid air, so that tells you what I think about engineers.

[@Modern-Squared]

So no liquid flash on your center nailing on the zip system? That’s not awesome.

[@AwesomeFramers]

@@Modern-Squared that's a waste of money. It's not in the Zip System instructions, warranty and is pure fiction out by influencers. Show us what the benefits are please.

You dont look like an idiot I think its smart to have the water with you as you work it would be worst if you have a fatal reaction from dehydration. keep wearing that Camelpak.

[@mikefrench4787]

Old school is better

[@trickyricky12147]

Fs especially since we have cranes nowadays to help with raising not like when balloon framing was invented in Chicago in the 1840s when you needed 10 people just to raise the walls.👍

I guess I’m fifth. Lol.
