[@mamanieri1194]

At every seam between zip R sheets, the specs call for nails every six to 8 inches for meeting a normal wind shear. I had to install blocking between the studs at the horizontal seams to meet the Huber nailing guide. Perhaps your wind load is less in Texas than mine in Pennsylvania Poconos mountains. When you build the house, make sure you have something to nail into at every seam. Of course, it’s easier to put the blocking between studs before you sheath.

Hey just a suggestion but if you are having the roof sheething delivered, maybe it can be put through one of the big windows upstairs. Stack it on the floor. Then we would leave a 2 x 4 foot hole in the roof to pass up playwood through the trusses. Youll have to find a way down once you put the last 2x4 piece in. We had a fork lift. Maybe an extention ladder

As an eastern european i got amazed how fast you can build from wood. And good work for you guys!

[@robbbbbie12]

In my home country 99.9% of construction is brick and mortar, so it is surprising how fast wood framing is, but also how much more complicated it is. I also feel like concrete and brick is way more durable; no mold or termites or wood rot. I’m surprised there is not more brick and mortar used in the US.

[@slbarbieri1725]

​@robbbbbie12 it's pressure treated lumber. Treated with chemicals to reduce damage. Also, you don't get wood rot because the wood does not touch moisture through the soil because of the concrete pad. Most houses built here in America are built on a concrete slab and older houses were built with a brick or block foundation, and the wood sits about 6 inches off the ground aside from the pillars which are usually encased in cement

I love that stairwell detail. Y’all gonna have the ultimate garage for sure. Scaffolding is the way to go and a good set will see you thru thousands of jobs.👍 As a kid I used scaffolding all the time w my dad and didn’t realize how lucky we were and how much harder those jobs would have been if we’d had to work off a pair of ladders instead. Having that stability under you when you’re lifting a full sheet or a trying to align two boxes on opposite sides of the house is a big deal. Hopefully that $2k makes big dividends for the Stud Pack Team.

[@weldingman57]

Sheathing looks good. Now for the criticism. Scaffolding over 6 ft requires handrail. I know it’s hot but you have already documented a safety hazard. Somebody falls and the insurance company tells you”AMF”. 2. Put your bags on. If you’re going to be a carpenter,be a carpenter. 3. Put 6-8 nails in a sheet and press on. I can hear my old boss screaming about “ a dollar waiting on a dime. Jordan can fill the perimeter and field during his off hours. Tie a tag line on the scaffold to pull up the nailer. Now for Pop’s. Break out your Amex etc and buy a real handheld saw. Skil 77 with mag frame and a 50 foot cord. But other than that keep up the good work. In spite of my keyboard rant I do enjoy the videos.

It's great to see things coming together. I really like the attention to detail you are giving this project and I wish contractors up here did even half this much. The scaffolding was a great idea, though the safety guy in me would love to see some horizontal braces on the front of that setup to give a railing and increase the lateral stability of the scaffold, especially as you get up to the third and higher levels. Also, don't forget to use mud sills underneath your screw jacks. It's not so critical when it's sunny, but any soft ground will settle under the small footprint of those jacks. A 1' piece of 2x12 would be enough to help spread that load out a lot.

[@estherstephens1858]

Did you see Rad’s eyes when Paul said he was going to be using a hammer? 😂😂😂

[@lolyou4358]

Something we do when we're doing setting up scaffolding on the outside of a building is we give it a very slight (1-2 degrees) lean to it towards the building, so if it does fall for any reason whatsoever, it falls towards the building instead of away, giving it an added safety.
