All About Using Pressure Treated Lumber 

finally Jaime can speak without being stopped

Let it all out Jamie. Don’t let Eric cut you off

This channel is a great idea. Many times I have been focused on what Jamie’s saying only for it to get cut off. Love the channels keep up the great work!

Great idea guys - I'm sure I'm not the only person who is excited to hear Jamie drop the knowledge!

Stoked to see your new show !! Jamie gets to express his knowledge !! Eric's input put fullness to the thoughts !! Well done by loving brothers 👏 Blessings !!

The channel we all needed! Ready for my Perkin's crew knowledge overdose.

Yay a Chanel for Jamie to talk! One time i replaced a top cap on a deck with wet wood and had all the joints tight and within a few weeks all the joints had half inch gaps.

Firstt 30 seconds something caught my eye...Jay looking at Jamie like he's a perfectly cooked steak, and he hasn't eaten for daaaaaays Great video lads!

Eric & Jamie, Thank You for the new channel‼️ It is definitely timely and needed‼️ We built a mountain home, close to a river, for a retired United States Forest Service Official. He bought fresh cut Cypress for interior and exterior siding and ridge beams (huge 60 foot by 6” stacked 2x6 12 boards thick, weighed over 2 tons)~~ALL dripping wet‼️ The tongue & groove siding was very twisted, warped, cupped, knotty etc. Boss (old time 40+ year lock & key builder) started culling boards due to what he thought was poor quality-“ junk”. Customer said, “No No don’t cull anything- the Cypress Wood will “set” & “rest” in place”! Reluctantly, Boss agreed so we used Tongue Pinchers to draw down the boards in place in the groove. At times, one of us would pull the Tongue Pincher while the other would nail in place ( crooked that bad~ using 8 penny finish nails inside and same but galvanized outside~ lots of extra work~ but He was paying)‼️ We went back to check our work 6 months later and then a year later (we all became friends and he hosted Cookout) Not one board had moved‼️ Not even a thirty second‼️ The beam hadn’t checked, warped or split- nothing‼️ It was perfect-just as he said it would be‼️ Yes, that was high $ dollar Maturial, cut straight out of the Okefenokee Swamp‼️ Goes to show~~Never argue with a Forester‼️ This video is very timely because my buddy & I are stripping and redoing his boatdock. Pressure Treatment is not what it used to be‼️ The chemicals have changed and grades- even the ground contact rating wood doesn’t have near the amount of chemicals that was once used! Thank YALL FOR THE LESSON‼️

really great channel ... congrats ...full of knowledge and jnfo.. thanks a lot

Thank you for your knowledge, I do enjoy listening to Jaime and his knowledge and Eric’s of course

Duuude, this is the best thing! Great intermission to PBB! Great stuff, Jamie!!

Wow did not realize the process behind it thank you for sharing

Hello from Canada! So glad this finally happened, Same week as risinger puts a pressure treated video out, knowledge and practicality together for all.

I’m a builder myself and know most the stuff you talk about already but I enjoy watching and listening to you talk. I love learning so keep it coming

This is a greet channel keep talking my friend

There are numerous grades of pressure treated wood. It's not just ground vs. non-ground contact. I will describe below: --UC1 is meant only for indoor areas that are fairly dry. This would be used for general house framing for areas not expected to see water. --UC2 is meant for damp (but not wet) indoor areas like basements or bathrooms. --UC3 is made for wet outdoor areas but NOT for ground contact (must be 6" or more above ground). --UC3A is made for areas where water comes in contact but has rapid runoff. --UC3B is designed for when water is a bit more stagnant and will sit longer on the wood. --UC4 is ground contact. --UC4A is "general purpose" ground contact, such as fences, garden beds, etc. --UC4B is "heavy duty" ground contact. Stuff that will sit on the ground, but not necessarily buried. --UC4C is "extreme duty" ground contact and recommended for wood that will be buried as posts, in contact with concrete, exposed to frequent severe weather, or will be submerged in water all (or most) of the time. This is what you want for deck posts, especially if they are going to be buried. --UC5 is salt-water marine grade.

I love how Jason is just taking it al in during one monolog and then disappears for the next one :)

The Perkins’ Monopoly has begun. Congratulations PBros.

This was good but I can't wait for the 12 part series on flashing!

That house has an amazing view. Love it

I’m very excited for this channel ! Great vid

Outstanding! I've been looking forward to this

Damn, this is really nice. I'm in front of a computer all day BUT want to do wood-working in the future. Thanks a ton, fellas.

Okay, good job on the treated wood class. The new channel is going to be great.

You brothers are Simply the best!!!!!

Great to hear more of Jamie's tricks & tips of the trade!! Yippie on the 2nd channel on RU-vid!! Keep up the good work!

Love this new channel!

Great Info!

AWESOME!! Love this idea guys! Preach, Jamie! Preach!

Perfect subseries. Just what I needed.

What I've learned for us here in Germany is that moisture content for indoors with heating should be ~10%, indoors without heating ~12%, outside with roof cover ~15%, outside in weather ~18%. So maybe we have much drier conditions here than where you are at in the US. Expansion though per % of moisture change (below fibre saturation ~30%, above that it doesn't change dimensions) is around 0.3% tangentially, 0.2% radially and only 0.01% longitudinally. That means that if you'd install 4" wide 1" thick (actual size) wet boards (30% and above) tight and they'd dry to let's say 15%, they'd shrink 3/16th in width which would become your gap and 1/32nd in thickness theoretically. Now bring on the jokes about German precision and lack of humor ;)

I love Jamie's thorough, (long-winded), super-informative explanations! For real!

Really good call making this channel. Jamie is still being interrupted, though. 🤣

Great information, thank you for sharing your knowledge 😎

Looking forward to the channel! Excited to learn! Teach me o’ wise ones!

This is great! Details details details! Let him talk!

I love this new channel. Let Jamie cook!

This is THE KNOWLEDGE CHANNEL! It’s POWERFUL!!!!!!

Finally Jaime can speak

Jamie is going to love this channel

Good job guys

I’m so excited for this channel!!!

Yes sir...let's go!!!!!!!!!

Next channel idea, you guys (Jamie) in the shop!

Great! Looking forward to gleaning all the knowledge I can from you guys!

You should list your other channel under the channels tab on the home pages of each of your pages... You should list them Ray-Jay boys on there too. 😁

Dude! This is perfect for Jamie!! Sometimes when the guys cut you off Im like …. “NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” 😂. Keep talkin brother!! Excellent stuff guys!!

Ellis in the background soaking up the knowledge. Too good. 6:50 mark. 😂

This is very helpful!!!!! Thank you! Subscribed at 756!

Love it, so helpful. Just great that we get another channel to learn from these great builders.

Good job

Superb vid and super informative. Wonderful addition to the channels!

Great stuff. Wish I knew some of this years ago. What a great way for young trades people to pick up knowledge quickly!

I think this will perfectly complement the main channel

Pressure treated is like using green cut lumber off a sawmill. I buy it in advanced bring it home stack it proper on stickers and let it dry 90 days in summer or longer in cold weather. Proper stacking will cure about all the problems. Now i am drying 6x6 and 4x4 post with about 500 ft of rough sawed on top holding it down.I will use it first week of November.I used ground treated 2x6 for rafters in addition i just built this year.Reason was they was cheaper than regular 2x6. But i dried them for 90 days and so far no problems .

I love this! Learning about materials is something you have to be in the job for as long as you guys to know this. I am grateful that you have created this. Keep it going!

Congratulation on the new chanel!!!

Love this! Get to hear Jamie speak! Really interested in knowing how that experiment worked out.

Yes !!! I love your other channel guys. And this made my day. Because I do want to hear your guys knowledge from experiences. Keep this up , get nerdy with it. And let Jamie loose!

Great subscribed immediately let's get it !

Those lumber tags on the ends look like the same ones that come from my local lumber supplier. Culpeper lumber here in Thomson Georgia. Around Augusta Georgia. What a coincidence.

I enjoy hearing Jamie's knowledge and expert wisdom very smart man keep it up already subscribed

Sweet. I dig the detail oriented focus of this channel.

One episode in: SO HAPPY THIS CHANNEL IS BORN ! ! ! ! ! I’ve been wishing for something like this.

Jamie, I really enjoy hearing you talk about things. You are so knowledegable and informative. Thanks.

The people have spoken and Eric has listened! Jaime gets to talk!!!

Pleased to see this. Do more I love to learn from you guys.

So hyped for this channel so we can hear from the brains of the group. If you understand the why then the how becomes a far better product in quality.

I'm living for the Jamieknowledgy channel ❤️

I believe thicknesses should be called thickni

Great idea for a new channel! I feel like I've picked up bits and pieces of knowledge watching your home builds, but having no real in-depth building experience, this will really add to it.

Ironically, I think I subscribed to PBB’s when they had around 5k subscribers. Love the growth, love the content.

Something I've noticed you have not shown in your other videos, you did not mention here, and I assume the treatment companies still tell you should be done is treating the cut edges in the field.

This is the perfect channel for Jaime!

Awesome channel guys. I've now run out of Perkins episodes. It's always a pleasure to watch them. Thanks guys. I'm getting a lot of tips for my next diy build. 2nd story addition on a 29' x 28' bungalow style house. I am keeping it short or 1.5 story looking with Nantucket dormers on the front and back. I've gotten a lot of information from you guys, for that I am grateful. Your crew is great and really dang good at what you do. This channel is going to be great I know it. Thanks from Minnesota!

I built a deck at a Scout camp one time and we listened to the guy directing us and left no gap because all the wood was wet. Well that wood never separated and that deck held water like a pond. it was a 16'x25' deck. Yes as we hammered the deck on, water came out of the boards as we did. I would never recommend not leaving some gap after that experience 30 years ago. they ended up cutting slits in the whole deck before staining a year later.

Great stuff fellas! Wish there was a second thumbs up button!

Video requests - The flying buttress construction and free standing domes with no center support

Perfect, Been learning about the trade with your channels to someday build a house of my own. I'm a Mechanic and i need every detail, its in my blood! haha

Let Jaime talk!!! Perfect channel idea for dropping knowledge bombs.

I'm stoked to have uninterrupted Perkins knowledge! I need all I can get for my upcoming home construction. Doing it myself so I need all the tricks fellas!

About time we got some long format knowledge from Jamie!

Excited for your new channel. Matt Risinger just did a treated lumber video too, but he got more into the technical details of the ratings. Not trying to rain on your parade, he's a knowledgeable guy, but I'd rather watch you guys any day.

1st on the 1st!! Looking forward to absorbing some knowledge and stuff!

that whiskey barrel thing you talked about: the same principle applies to wooden hot tubs. they'll leak a wee bit when they're dry but once filled with water the wood expands making all the joints seal up.

You guys rock.

This is awesome! Ive been loving the content you guys put out!

Great stuff!!! Thank you!

I knew a very old carpenter that started building houses using lumber sawed on site. They had to build the house in such a way that everything worked after it dried.

Thank you for recording and posting this valuable educational video.

Excellent Jamie!! The Master Speaketh

Oh thank god. I always feel like I’m getting so much inside knowledge just as Jamie is being cut off.

Awesome video. As a weekend DIY'er, I always thought the higher the moisture content, the better the protection, and continually dealt with twisting and shrinking. Now I know why!!! Subscribed and notifications turned on...looking forward to future videos.

Wish the kiln dried was available around here, would be willing to pay the price for small DIY projects.

Man this would be great podcast content

A while back, I built a couple ten foot long sawhorses that have 2x6's on the top. They are pressure treated and were fairly wet when I bought them. Now that they have dried out, one looks pretty good, the other looks like a sway back nag. If we get quite a bit of rain, it looks pretty good, but when it dries back out, the nag is back. It makes it interesting to try using them. I need the length, I've built two eight foot projects and have a ten foot one to do yet. This was an interesting video. Thanks for the information. Have a good day.

That thumbnail. Love it. Structure lumber #1 with a 💕🤫

12 minutes of uninterrupted Jamie? Bliss

I bought 7 wet pressure-treated 2x8s at Lowes and assembled them right away into a deck frame, before they had a chance to warp or cup. The frame is held together with hot-dipped lag bolts and has blocking between the joists five feet apart, so they can't warp. I measured the width of all the joists, and they were within a 1/16 of an inch. I'm letting the deck frame sit out in the sun for several days so they can dry, but I'm pretty sure my design will not let them warp or cup. The whole frame can shrink a bit, but that won't matter. When I cut the 4x4 vertical posts, I'm going to use a laser level to get them individually cut to the exact right height. Again, if the 4x4s change dimensions a bit, it won't matter: The weight of the deck should keep them consistent. I think the key to using bigbox store pressure-treated lumber is to get it all put together before it has a chance to warp.
