This old house and stud pack actually teach you something and make you think before you do something possibly wrong. So many of these other home building shows turn into clown acts after a few episodes. I don’t even watch those shows anymore. They don’t teach you anything they just tell you what they did.

[@rogar61]

I'm always on the search for shows like Holmes on Homes and This Old House but everything on TV is focused on design, back stories (really? Who gives a s***) and before and after shots - these are all terribly boring. I watch these shows to learn something and Stud Pack fits that bill perfectly.

Good video. Not to the be the safety police, but you should put a temp brace across the big window openings. The thing is the the knee high sill under it. On the walkway opening if you lost your balance out of you can keep your feet under yourself and at most break an ankle, but with the knee high sill, you go over that you are landing head first. This is especially easy when moving cameras around and looking at a view finder.

Since the stairs aren't part of the conditioned space it will get hot at the top of the stairs. Could add a small window facing the back yard at the top of the stair which could be left open.

[@StudPack]

[@mikequartucci9700]

Hey Stud Pack, if you go with the recessed vaulted ceiling over the shower, why not consider installing a solar tube for natural lighting? After the roof trusses are installed, you can rough it in so that the bottom finish ring will be flush with the finished ceiling. You also will be able to install the adjustable vertical light tubing all the way up through the trusses and exit out through the top of the roof, with a weatherproof sealing ring on the finished roof. A great and easy way to get natural light into the shower, much easier than installing a skylight.

[@MrRustyjackson]

I agree. Solar Tubes are perfect for bathrooms and hallways. We put 2 in our house and only use the lights at night. Plus alot less $$ than skylights.

[@tylergeosano4043]

Stud Pack is easily my favorite KZbin channel right now, y'all are killing it with this content. Been really fun to follow along since 7k subs, all the hard work is very evident in the fantastic build and production quality.

[@funkygawy]

I love the inwall tanks, but here I think make a little bumped-out wall for the toilet tank, maybe 4 inches deep, rather than put the toilet in the exterior wall. This will give you full insulation behind the tank and protect from nails from the outside - plus it makes a nice natural shelf behind the toilet. This could extend behind the sink too - like the tiled top of the pony wall behind the sinks in the Chevy bathroom..Seems super easy, doesn't even take up more room.

[@ronlovell5374]

They are in Texas though, 2 inches of foam insulation would definitely be enough! The toilets I've installed like this required a 2×6 wall anyway for the rack assembly, so in our climate in 🇨🇦, a secondary wall is a must.

[@mikehodapp8738]

How do you protect the wall and the ceiling below if the tank sweats? Will the insulation be thick enough to counter condensation issues?

[@nickp3173]

Love watching this project come together. If you guys haven't put thought into, I'd look into getting Ethernet cable in the walls before the sheet rock is up. You'll appreciate being able to plug in an access point or your computer directly into your network.

[@danieltholejr722]

There will be those who say: But WiFi is SO good these days so why have the wires in the wall and the plates ON the wall? My answer is always: Wired is STILL faster and SO much more secure.

[@johnhaller5851]

Wireless access points connected by Ethernet will also be faster. Plus, the solar battery space is a nice place for the home run cabling. Another consideration is Power over Ethernet lighting, why run 12 or 14 gauge copper when you can run twisted pair, plus it gives some nice automation options.

[@johnhaller5851]

And my other thought is that they need wiring chases for power and Ethernet between the future house and garage, a flat roof might not provide enough space for that.

I always double plate window sill plates so i have solid nailing for winow trim. Just something to think about. Love your channel.

[@mamanieri1194]

[@davidrobertson606]

Look at the code for framing. You may be allowed to use 2x6 at 24" centers. It saves time, costs no more for material, better insulation, less drywall screws thus less mud. Think about it on the house.

[@chasnetzow4401]

I always built on 24” centers to save lumber and increase insulation. Code allowed up to 10 ft walls with 2x6s. I found that 5/8 drywall on the walls worked best with 24” centers, and the cost increase was minimal. It makes for strong and flat walls. 5/8” t and g roof sheeting always seemed well worth the slught cost increase too. Again, strong and flat. Looking fine guys!

[@normancarnahan4893]

If considering 5/8 inch drywall, you might as well consider using fiberglass surfaces drywall. Less risk of mold, etc. Before closing up those walls, consider sprinkling Boraxo along all sill plates - before insulation install.

[@Whatwherewhy586]

YES YES YES YES ITS TIIIIIIIIME

[@straight_to_finish]

You could have preinstalled the headers for the windows before raising the wall-that would have been a given regardless of window height, then frame the sill later. (Easier to install on the deck). Pro tip: When framing interior door openings, pre-slit both sides of the bottom plate of the door opening and leave about 1/2” left of the plate. When it’s time to fully remove the plate cutout, it’ll be square, and quicker to remove. I guarantee you’ll love this.

[@w2ttsy670]

21:15 take it one level higher and frame out a skylight over the top of the shower so that you get a huge natural light well in above the shower. Could probably ditch the pokey window above the toilet too.

[@tetedur377]

I was thinking during the video about how lucky Jordan is to have his father, who is so knowledgeable in the building trade, helping him. While Paul hasn't built a house from the ground up before, the wealth of knowledge and the vast experience from doing renovations really helps immensely. I love the explanations of why he does what he does, and the thinking behind it. The strategic thinking, as well as the tactical mindset is like a carpenter and a general contractor all rolled up into one. And, let us not forget Jordan's cousin. How awesome is it to be working with family? It's great that he's able to be there for his cousin, and like someone else mentioned, he's gonna need his own home as well. The best part is that both guys are getting an apprenticeship in renovation and now, in building a house; especially in the entire life cycle of building; from dreaming, to planning, to working with engineers, with permitting departments, suppliers and various trades. That right there is priceless. The one criticism I have is that I see Paul doing most of the work. Not that Jordan and Rad don't work; they do, and they work hard. This is especially true when it comes to measuring, cutting, laying out, and even a lot of the nailing. It will slow down the process, but the guys need to get more hands on with all that. If they are, I'm not seeing it. Loving the series though.

[@justinballard7242]

Great work guys. Love it. One thing to think about is making that house so tight to where you need mechanical ventilation. In my opinion (I built a house that blower doors at 2ach50.) The mechanical ventilation eats more electricity than a house that leaks a more desirable amount of air. I think the sweet spot is between 3-5 ach50 with no mechanical ventilation system

[@locke3141]

Mech ventilation controls air quality inside. I had 1.7 ach50 in my house and I barely use AC by controlling south facing windows and having a tight house. Ventilation controls humidity and creates lots of comfort.

Bathroom window definitely over the toilet; never an operating window in the shower (looking for issues down the road). Also, the plans show a rookie mistake: 5'-4" leaves a 1/2" extra because the outside wall was planned as 2x4 (3.5"), not 4". You guys used 2x6 (5.5") so it should have a 60" inside to inside dimension (not 5'-4" - 3 1/2" = 60 1/2") if you're using a commercially available shower pan. If you do a custom pan, then no problem. Most people don't go custom. Hopefully that makes sense.

Agree. A DYI build in my area didn’t sheet the exterior before going up and totally racked over in a recent big wind storm.

[@barbarachilds3570]

I am not a "builder", but always thought one of those solar tube light things would be great for a high ceilinged stairway. No lightbulbs to change and the light is always on....unless ya get one with a switch to turn "off" the sunlight. (?) Love watching your builds go up fellas! Keep up the great work!

[@tjflynn1014]

For the window over the toilet, think about the plumbing vents. You won't be able to go straight for the vent, you'll have to 90 over one way or the other, assuming that you have the main drain stack in that toilet bay.

Paul has an amazing amount of experience! So great to have someone on your team with his expertise....

[@prophat123]

I've been a subscriber for years. I was shocked and saddened to hear you singing that "Small Town" song.

[@JamesWright1919]

Yeah, kinda depressing. People love to leave in their dog whistles.

[@MoneyManHolmes]

Right wingers don’t even like home wrecker Jason Aldean. It’s just a catchy song. Groomer!

[@babigyrl3560]

Skylight window in the bathroom. Plus the double hung in the wall above the toilet! That's what I'm talking about!

[@firemanj35]

So are you cutting the window sill studs at 5 degrees for runoff? I'm just curious. Looking great, guys

[@stuartrose8689]

A piece of beveled siding on top of the sill and then a pitch pan or some good zip tape to seal the sill would be good too.

[@momo-agogo]

Super cool to see all the support for your channel!! I found you guys because I needed to see how to plumb my sink for a new install. I believe it was one of your first videos. We are renovating our house and havent stopped watching your journey since. Congrats! You guys have come a long way and deserve it!!

[@StudPack]

thanks 👍

[@levelseven9841]

A lot easier to sheath the walls before standing them up.

[@cbeuning]

You are so awesome to center the outlet & sconce boxes in the middle of the walls!! Also love taking the header all the way to the top! Makes life so much easier. Double hung centered high over the toilet. So if the neighbor adds a 2nd floor….

[@Goletagwt]

Heard you sing those lyrics. Probably not the best lyrics to sing with all the press happening around that song.

[@MrMeeph]

Free country, free to sing whatever song lyrics he damn well pleases.

[@JennErmyMedia]

I love how you guys are thinking forward about the following trade work that will be done. I’m sure those doing the work will really appreciate it.

[@JamesJohnson-kl1eu]

ew, singing that Jason Aldean song, love your show but questionable choices of songs there.

[@MrGchernetz]

Studpackman. You make it look so easy. Start a business where you guys teach the next generation of construction people to do it right the first time. Your insight is phenomenal.

[@ohhhsnap17]

Hey love the video. But the but of you singing try that in a small town was a little much dude. Like first of all you do see how it completely marginalized a whole movement and is conrtaversal.. but I mean. If it's your opinion then that's fine . Your entitled to that. Just you have always kept political things out of your videos and it was just surprising to see or well hear that. But keep up the good work! Can't wait for the next episode!

[@KorySchrauben71]

This needs to be on TV. Love the episodes guys!

[@shellshocknas]

Try that in a small town is offensive to some people. You should just edit that stuff out.

[@NextLevelCraftworks]

You guys make it look EZ. Good job on the build. I watched through the mud days and gotta say - youre a tough team! Yall are lucky to have Paul as your dad. Keep on rocking!

[@johnhammon703]

Tell me I didn't hear "try that in a small town".

[@billschenk5205]

I look forward to your videos every week. Seeing the floor deck go from bare to studs is amazing! Be safe with all that heat.

[@caterandolph3440]

"Try that in a small town"??? Never pegged you as a racist, Jordan.

[@StudPack]

???

[@JamesWright1919]

@@StudPack It's a dogwhistle song for vigilantes and hicks that think the shotgun in their truck is just as good for hunting as it is insurance against "people who ain't from 'round here." It means something very different to those people who barely survived or families of those that didn't survive exposure to the "small town" lifestyle.

[@mikehoffman3336]

@@StudPack If you look into the song (and the background behind it), it's a lot more problematic than it sounds. I'm sure that wasn't your intention, but the song is offensive to a lot of people, for good reason.

[@tbuckets2522]

@@JamesWright1919 Y'all are a bunch of softies. That song is about violent crimanals getting away with crime in the big cities with no consequences! Period! Don't add into it based on what your MSM is telling you.
