[@andrewclarke3750]

Brilliant video as always. I've had a similar issue as you had with a concrete pad falling away and being uneven. I put pressure treated sill plates down and leveled them off with plastic window shims place lengthwise with the sill plate. I bored a 25mm hole at the largest gap end and a 8mm hole at the smallest gap end. I placed duct tape over the gaps either side and mixed up structural grout which is a purpose made high strength grout and as its very viscous I poured it in the 25mm hole until it had filled the void under the sill plate. Once it had cured then just drill and screw though it. Super strong and only one sill plate required. It fully supports the wall loads evenly down to the slab.

Hi Les. The studs are 4x2 at 600mm centers. The building in the video is pretty much 6mX6m so the same size as you're planning.

That floor is horrible & the customer probably thinks it is just a case of flinging up a few bits of wood too.

Hi Derek. The customer fully understands all that goes into this type of job, so is pretty cool to work for.🤩 To be honest, I tried the Tracer pencils and thought it was great until the sharpener went blunt after only one lead, so not that impressed.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Have an idea for your trailer that I use. It's very similar in build, but I have adjustable racks. Being that the front rack you have on yours is the same as mine. I have pin holes for the racks so I can raise them to heights ( they're made from RHS ie; Rolled hollowed section galvinised steel posts, with one set on the front of the trailer (like yours and one on the back. I can raise them to various heights in order to fit whatever material I use, and they're removable from the trailer so it can be used just a method of transporting waste/green matter or whatever you need it for. I also have fences that fit al around the trailer that I can remove. Just a thought if you were keen to find a better way to transport your timber flat. Keep up the great vids.mate.

Hi Busboy, and thanks for watching. 👊 I would recommend 4x2 for the timber frame. 2x2 is too small, in my opinion, and you could use 3x2 but I would put them in at 400 centers instead of 600 centers.

if you dont mind me saying, a lot of fuss about nothing, just bed the plates on mortar with a level and club hammer. as i have done routinely, many, many times for chippies to pich a roof after twenty five years as a bricklayer. using wedges and packers is not done other than window installers and chippies. of course your project would need some thought regarding dpc and underfloor ventilation in this type of construction. Maybe bituthene membrane and heve enough depth to cloak the slab so water runs off the slab and not underneath the floor where your timbers are, where they will rot big time. not trying to be clever but i am fast aproaching retirement and a nice big outbuilding is top of my list.

[@thetallcarpenter]

I'm not a bricklayer Dave, and wasn't about to get one out of retirement just to bed a sole plate on for me😉 Yes, bedding the plates down would have been much simpler, but I would have had to get sand there, cement there, a mixer there and water there😶Hope you have a great retirement bud as bricklaying is a tough old game👍Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

Hi Paul. If it was me, I would go for a steel beam lintel. Those bifold doors pretty much hang on the beam/lintel and even a small amount of deflection will cause issues with their operation, never mind the roof load.

Great work 👍I noticed your spirit level - Imex. I’ve not heard of that make before , how do they compare with Stabila ?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Stephen. In my opinion, there is no comparison to Stabila. They are simply better in every way. More accurate, longer warranty, smaller manufacturing tolerances, easier to read vials and slightly cheaper. 😎 Cheers.

Great video mate , do you do most of your work on price or day work ? Many thanks

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi TC. I don't do any work on price, its all day work. I used to earn some great money doing price work when I was younger, but it just started getting harder and harder as the prices kept getting less and less. I know I'm lucky to have a great customer base that are happy for me to work this way.😎 Thanks for watching and your comment.🤩 Cheers.

[@johnhalliday719]

Hi mate, I have a concrete pad where a garage used to be so I’m going to build on top of that. I am a little worried going timber straight to pad even with a dpc so was going to go with a brick/block first… you have any input on a best plan for that?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi John🖐Sounds like a good plan bud, and a couple of courses of brickwork will keep the timber walls off the floor and will give you something nice and level to work off. I would favour only a couple of courses so I could still drill down through them into the concrete base to get a good fixing for the walls👍Hope this helps😎Cheers Del

In the United States that is a conventional 2X4 stick frame. A timber frame 6X6 or larger post, beams, bents, and purlins that 8, 10 feet part.You need to the Shelter Institute youtube videos to how a true timber frame is constructed.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Paul. I did a fair bit of framing when I worked in the States in the 90's, so am sort of familiar with how you do it over there. Here in the UK we generally construct our buildings using brick and blocks and our building regulations generally work around this. There is timber framed houses build here but I don't get involved in those. I hope I've got it somewhere near how you guys do it as it seems like a fairly logical way to make a timber frame building.😎Thanks for watching and your comment.👍

[@elanman608]

I know it would be another trip to the builders merchant but why not lay the sole plate on a bed of mortar to level a'la roof wallplate?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there. that would have been the best solution by far, but I don't really do masonry work, and all my, 'brickie's', stuff was at home which was a fair distance from this job. I thought I might as well just stay and try to get over it, 'carpenter style'.🤩 Thanks for your comment.👍

[@dreadpirateroberts4052]

Hi, not trying to be critical but why can’t you run a single row brick 5 inches in from the edge of the slab all around and lay the first timber base on it?

Hi mate lovely work and what a view to have while working, btw what do you think of the imex levels do they stand up against stabilia? Thinking of getting one myself. All the best👍🔨

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Rob. Yeah, very lucky with my working environment on this one.🤩 In my opinion, Imex spirit levels are superior in every way to Stabila. Easier to read vials, more accurate, longer guarantee, more robustly constructed, tighter manufacturer tolerances for accuracy and around the same price.😎 FFX is the best place to get them, and I highly recommend them if you're looking for a new one.👍 Thanks for your comment mate.

You can also fix the sole plates flat to the concrete of the out of level pad. Fix all the studs slightly long without the top plate and brace them level and space with a batten marked with 400 centres below the cut line. Then just mark a level line for the top plate round. Cut them with a cordless circular saw and a speed square ready for the top plate height. Saves using an extra plate at the bottom and the hassle of packing the bottom plate level and having to double the bottom plate

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Wills. You're absolutely right there mate, and that's a great way of doing it in this situation, and saves a fair bit of work.😎 I think I'd still got it in my mind that I was going to make the panels and clad them laying down, so stuck with levelling a bottom plate, but changed my mind anyway.😝 Thanks for watching and your comment.👍

Um...that's not timber framing...that's stick framing...

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there. I think stick framing is a term used in the US.🤩 Here in the UK the vast majority of our homes and buildings are made using masonry block and bricks, and when a building is made of wood, we describe it as, 'timber frame'.😎 As you say though, essentially, its the same thing.👍 Cheers.

[@g1mpster]

@@thetallcarpenter I’m curious then, what do you call this kind of framing? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing

[@thetallcarpenter]

@@g1mpster Hi there. All the buildings in your link are timber framed and this type of construction was well used many years ago when strong natural timber like Oak was plentiful. As the years have gone on, this type of building has given way to more masonry based construction, but the term, 'timber frame, still sticks, certainly here in the UK, when a building is made with wood as its main structure. The term, 'stick framing, is not used here in the UK when describing buildings made of wood.😎Cheers.

[@g1mpster]

@@thetallcarpenter that’s interesting. So there’s no distinction in terminology when referring to modern wood framing techniques where the structural members are all relatively thin and wide, consisting of large wall panel assemblies vs older framing techniques where the members are large and thick, consisting of individual bents that are joined together with traditional joinery techniques?

[@thetallcarpenter]

@@g1mpster Not really. In the context of traditional timber framing, a modern timber frame building might only be described as, 'timber framed', over an, 'oak timber frame'. As a whole, this type of building would still be generally considered, 'timber framed', here in the UK, the same as a, 'stick frame', building.
