I liked the long (nailing over and over) at the end of the video with the GoPro footage as it shows the technique of how to nail in and toenail into the floor joists. The repetition of the video at the end shows *A.)* how the joists are overlapped, *B.)* how many nails should be placed in the joists AND *C.)* where the nails are placed. For beginners this is very helpful because there is a detailed method. I actually wouldn't mind watching more footage from work throughout the day on other things like the measurements on the overlap laying and lining up of the joists. The info on the flashing where the concrete meets the wood was very good info also. Any pointers are great for instance on finding the crown of the wood. I have bad eyes I guess, because I am bad with finding the crown. Thanks for posting!

Great info...important hypothetical question. Let's say you're a home inspector and you get under a house and find floor joist spacing is 32" rather than 16 or 24. Despite the spacing being in code, what would be your opinion of that spacing, and the builders?
@TheExcellentLaborer
@TheExcellentLaborer 3 жыл бұрын
More than likely the inspector would have you put choices in between them. Which would be super hard to do after you have them installed. But it’s still possible. Or he could make you add additional beams. It’s really hard to say. Thanks for watching!

Are those joists long enough? They look like they are only on the girder by about 2 or 3 inches. I'm building my own house soon like this over a basement, but going to over lap alot further than that. Actually taking a second look, some over lap by a board thickness which is 1 1/2 inches. Doesn't feel comfortable to me.

It looks like you’re doing a really nice job but I did have one question for you. I’ve done a lot of my own personal framing throughout time and I’ve been on hundreds of new home construction projects. I noticed in some places where the coordinating floor joists came together on top of the girder beam they only overlapped a couple of inches and really only on top of the girder maybe 3” at most. Most projects I’ve been on the joists extend past the girder beam maybe 16-18” and there’s plenty of room to nail the 2 coordinating joists together for additional strength I assume. I’m not putting your work down in any way. This is just something I noticed. Thanks for the videos.

How come you didn’t extend the joists passed each other a little further? Our code says they should be extended 8 inches past each other. All codes are different but extending the joists pass each other leaves more room to nail and less chance for the end of the joist to split…

Even though they're not directly contact to concrete or ground, but moist can be built up from ground overtime to undermine the floor, would it better if treated plumbers or manufacture are used? The cost would be significant? Thanks

Good question. Pressure treated would be best but currently there are problems getting PT wood. The cost would be only about $15 more for the PT bandboards to do the project. So the vinyl flashing was the next best thing. It cost about $20 for this job.

@kalan4787
@kalan4787 3 жыл бұрын
In a nutshell, it comes down to the fact that wood lumber with longitudinal grain resists shear and bending stresses better when the grains are "stacked" and that means standing them up. All you have to do to understand this in a practical sense is to stretch a long board across an open span and walk across it. If you lie it down, the board will be taking a force perpendicular to the grain orientation and when you get to the middle, thr board will be sagging an awful lot under your weight. If you stand it on its end, it is very pikely it will not sag at all while you walk across it. There's a more technical explanation, but the answer is "because it is stronger to stand it up."

I do not use an app. I just starting adding up everything from start to finish on paper. It’s hard to get an exact number. Decide how you’re going to build some thing then just start calculating the material from there. It takes time but is the best way.

Not sure of the building code where you are but you are not overlapping your floor joists enough per normal codes.

@@TheExcellentLaborer Perhaps so, but you need more overlap to enable more nails and keep them from wanting to roll over or twist. Once you get the sheeting on it will be better.

Who would I need to hire if I need to add a extra floor beam or joist to a bedroom? Apparently whoever built my home skipped some space. Instead of one section of the beams being every 16 inches, there is a gap from 16 inches all the way to 24 nothing between them so the floor makes loud squeaking noise.

I hate squeaking floors. Just find a local contractor or carpenter to do the work if you don’t want to do the work.

I had a job like this and hated it because I was making almost 10 an hour while the guy who owned the company stood around barking orders and made $400 an hour doing nothing except running to lows and Starbucks and talking on his cell sitting in his fancy truck, now he's a millionaire off the backs of hardworking guys grrrrrr! And im living off $500 a month feeling like giving up in my 40s he started his company with a small 500k loan from daddy fuck life , its so unfair and accommodates only the rich ppl like me have to eat ramen noodles for 15 years to get ahead just a little plus my boss would always boast about how much money he made , and ask his workers if we knew anyone who wanted to buy 100k boat he had for sale grrrrrr!!!! His name literally is Dick lol

Alrighty, my two cents on first person perspective: I think it can be good in small doses, complemented by some regular shots. Depending on the audience you’re trying to build, think of why people continue to watch episode after episode. It is largely in part of a viewer slowly building a rapport or relationship with the characters, so face time in your videos is important for the long term plan to gather viewers, especially loyal viewers.

Json Marruffo Excellent point. That makes perfect sense actually. I know in a thumbnail class I took it said to try to include your face in them for similar reasons. People like to identify faces and can relate. I will definitely take your advice on that. Maybe small clips of 10 seconds throughout the videos would be more appropriate. Thanks a lot man!

Also, personally, instead of filling the end of the video with repetitive process (nailing over and over) to meet the 10-min algorithm, I’d rather see some outtakes, personal insight, or maybe something like a “pro tip” that people can take away.

Json Marruffo Your feedback is gold to me. This is actually been the best constructive criticism I’ve got. Any feedback is excepted. That’s a good idea about the outtakes at the end to get the 10 minute algorithm time. I’ll try some of the stuff out. Stay tuned!
