Thank you for putting these videos out I’ve only just recently started watching them but I’ve already learned so much I’m a young 22 year old looking for ways to improve in my craft and you are the guy I come to and learn from so thanks. And I love that your proud of your employees skills I wish there was more of that nowadays👍
I used to think framers were low brow manual laborers. I was so ignorant. Matt taught me they're highly skilled--and creative--professionals with intellects that dwarfs mine. Hard bendin', hard stoopin', and damn hard thinkin. I can't even do 1 of the 3. Thanks.
The editing and sound is always great on these . It's also nice that when you speed up the action you've left the sound of the work site at normal speed and not just always play music over the top of it all . super job on these. ALSO superbly well built projects
Matt, a big thank you for all the time you spend for us, as well as for your great generosity. I wish you and your staff and family members a very happy Easter Sunday. Good rest all with your love one. Gilles
We've installed literally thousands of sheets of Advantech. For the longest time, it was the only good osb floor option available. Now other companies have come out with similar products.
Thanks to watching the majority of your videos and with a little bit of framing experience, I’m framing my bro’s bar house and so far it’s turnin out great! Thanks for the vids man!
That foam glue is the bees knees! We use a similar product hanging drywall, and love it. Sucks if it gets on you, or in your hair, but works so much better, and faster than the old caulk tube style.
I just had a thought ( oh know right?!?!?!) how many nails have you used in this project so far? I think that’s kind of crazy when you think about how many nails you used and that back in the old days they did all of that by hand.
I used the same glue for the first time a few years ago... Much easier and faster then a traditional subfloor glue. Just make sure you clean out the gun real good. Also I used to put cleaning solution in the top of half used cans. That way you can use the rest of the can later and there wont be a mess on the top of the used can!
Race to the roof! I live in New England and the Advantek holds up to snow and rain wicked good! Just gotta make sure all nails are set for shoveling purposes. It is more expensive but seals up a house WICKED QUICK!
Your videos are therapeutic for me to watch after long work hours. For future, don't drop your floor sheets, you want the liquid nail (or equivalent) bead to be as intact as possible when the sheet is placed on 'em.
The main builder our crew frames for uses advantech on every floor he buys. Don't think we've built a floor under 4,000sqf for him since I've started. Never gone back to beef a joist or shim anything. Easily spends upwards of 15k on subfloor, but it sells itself when it comes to squeaks down the line.
With 3/4" sheathing perhaps it doesn't matter, but shooting nails like this will overdrive them through the flooring. In time won't those nails lose holding power? It would take more time, but lowering air compressor pressure and sending each nail with a few whacks with hammer seems a much safer choice
The makita is a bad mfer. That saw got me into the makita platform. I’m hardcore milwaukee but couldn’t ignore the makita rear handle. Especially when I got the saw and (4) 5.0 batteries with it and a dual charger all for 250 and milwaukee is 269$ bare tool. Kind of a no brainer to me. And makita makes the best grinders around so I went out and finally bought a cordless grinder once I was onto the makita platform. Nothing against dewalt. I’ve just never been a huge fan.
@@Senpany_kit_abuse I had the rear handle dewalt before I got the makita. The dewalt is just sooo much more powerful than the makita and more well built. I was hoping it would also be my into to the makita platform, but it just seems weak anf flimsy to me.
Just wondering if you clear over the chalk lines on the flooring as well as the concrete. Seems like it would be a good idea. Great stuff. God bless, stay well.
@@MattBangsWood So sorry about the high temps (not) we had snow this week here in Pa. Didn't last but the temps have been a little on the chilly side for my tastes.
One chip to another. You should lay your boards down slowly with your hammer instead of dropping them when using foam glue. Otherwise you lose half of it with the splat.
What did you guys use before AdvanTech? I guess we have been spoiled, we have had it around for at least 20 years I think. It is the best in my opinion. It can stand up to a lot of weather. We had a house we finished once that another contractor left with just walls framed up for around 6 months. The Advantech had swollen a little bit at the joints but it was still good.
@@JT-hs3pe I was trying to remember when we started using it. I don't remember anything before it except in the 80's when we put down 1/2" plywood and then would come back with the crappy particle board after the house was dried in. I was so glad when Advantech came out what 30 years ago?
I do not like the makita saw. It feels very unbalanced with the two batteries on one side. The dewalt one I just don’t like. Love my skilsaw. it’s heavy but it’s the best IMO.
I completely understand the reasoning behind it too, it’s getting a wall on top, it’ll never be walked on. I have never seen an issue come from that either. I guess it’s just habit by now to cover everything.
Is that framing , hardware, sheathing , plumb and line , and material? I really appreciate the tip bud . I am based out of Monterey Park , Los Angeles California.
Owners wearing Advantech shirt. Jay was our lead for the last few projects, but currently works for a friend of ours, just filled in a few days with us. Aside from those two I manage project, billing, contracts, etc..
It's my understanding that 1. Dropping the boards is kinda non-sensical (the impact will disperse the foam) 2. You should put some on the T&G joint 3. When nailing it's ideal to be standing over the area you're nailing to ensure the board is actually flat as possible, nailing doesn't really pull materials together so nailing out in front of you really isn't doing anyone any sort of service
