is it just me or does that crane operator deserve an honorable mention? dude was on point!

"Be careful, Pa" is the same exact thing I say to my dad. I've been working construction with my dad for 16 years and counting. Him being over 60 years old and climbs along the rafters/trusses and along the top plate of walls still trips me out. Mad love for you working with your pops. There's not much of that anymore.

Your Pops is fearless!! I love watching your videos. I was a framer back in the 90's. Than I moved onto becoming a Door Hanger

The balance these dudes have is insane and I like the fact that even though matt has great balance he still used an harness. Keep up the good wood bro.

Tell your bud to put a harness on. Hard to fall but when you do it's hard to get up.

Bro, your pops is a beast! I grew up without a dad so mad respect from the start. Also, keep these POV vids going bro! Subscribed within the first 10 secs of POV action.

This was awesome to watch come together. The perspective was well worth the wait and I would love to see more of it. Your pop stands on trusses like he’s on solid ground.

can I just say that you had one smooth crane operator! Ive had a few up here in idaho that go bull in a china shop on ya n have tossed trusses over on me! That guy made ya barely have to adjust any of those as ya was setting em. Good work, clean day of flying trusses there!

I am in awe of what you guys do while balancing on a narrow beam and skilfully fitting those trusses.Well done lads and Merry Christmas.

Wow, POV is scary. Gives me a new appreciation of your courage and balance!

What a set up. Crain brings each truss with blocks pre nailed. Not everyone has it so easy.

9:10 nice catch pops. 😳

Dude, guy on the peaks is a GOAT. Awesome video.

I know that feeling. just AWESOME being up there.

Can I like the video twice? Been waiting for this one. I even threw it up on the big TV to get the full affect. Awesome video

Your Dad is seriously talented up there. Nicely done.

What a marvelous treat for christmas day. Thank you! Nice long shots. I was completely into it.

That look-out framing is something else. We just finished one up with 2x10 look-out with 2ft overhang

Love your videos. I love that you show the steps and the teamwork it takes to get this stuff done. Q is getting better at many things...

Doing this video from your point of view is pretty sweet!! I'd definitely like to see some more videos shot like this! Bang On!!🔨📐

When I read "POV" I don't usually think of construction...

Louie is one of the best crane operators. I build in the same area and know Louie well.

“one of the best building channels” 🙏🏻

Enjoyed this perspective! More like this please! 👍🏻📐🔨

That nail gun sound is so satisfying to listen to on the daily lol 😆😌

Pop must be proud of ya kid! I framed with mine for 22 years. Now my 22 year old son is with me for 3 years. He's got alot too learn but w're kickin ass together. Be well, stay safe and frame on!

I love watching these videos, always picking up something new from them. Keep up the good work

My fav so far and they are all exciting Super awesome perspective

Slick operation. Looks a thing of beauty 👌👌👌 merry Christmas matt to you, your family and the rest of the gang. Looking forward to more vlogs in 2020 💪😎👍👍👍

I cant believe you guys caught that block while balancing. And Pa one handed. Crazy i cant wait to get to your guys level of skill

It’s cold here in Canada. Haha lucky to have that sun. Few minutes in, and loving the POV already. Need more of this. 👍👍

You guys are nuts !, my knees started shaking just watching you! you def earn your money be safe.

Good job Q!!!! Let’s see more!!

I love your channel. I wanna bring the American house style here to Brazil. Thanks!

Good thing for the cooler weather. I could watch this all day without breaking a sweat.

Awesome bro , thank you for sharing your experiences diffently helpful and knowledgeable bro . Cant wait for more.

I subscribed just for u an your guys ability to catch and throw blocks. Wow

Great vid Matt keep em coming

demonstrates our carpenter hand eye coordination. Throwing things to each other all the time.

Nice to have a scissor lift to mark out the plates, I found after the years went by I started doing more detailing before I stood the wall, need to take an extra moment and know the roof however it is nice when a plan comes together

Almost done watching. Passes are on a string! Fun watch🤘

Love it man!! Keep up the good work

These videos are so satisfying to watch I don't anything like this but like they make sense

that was great to see your point of view Keep up the great videos

Great idea with POV

This is awesome!! I focus on filming pov style in the Netherlands while placing fences!

The old man with the one handed catch damnn

Love the POV vids! Very good day!

hats off to the crane operator ,very smooth.

Good job boys!! Hell yeah!

Your crew's block-throwing is very impressive but I think I detected a couple edits in there too.

That was damn good crane operating. And Q has come along nicely xxx

I really like the POV videos. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻😎

Outstanding job 👍!

I love what you are doing keep up the good work.

Matt, Merry Christmas to you, your crew and your family...Bang on!

Like how you work safe and the concern for pop

Nice job all.... Merry Christmas

like the pov really nice perspective thank you

Old framer here, we never layed out where the trusses go on the top plate, 24” OC meant 22 7/16” blocks and the blocks automatically put them on layout, the only place where we marked on the plates is if there was a “special” meaning there was a need to put truss in a spot not on layout becouse of something such as a fireplace or skylight or something , oh and we did it all up top, no scaffolding or harness , but sometimes I do wish I had them !

I just want to say that you sir are the man,

Some of those shots of your Dad gave me vertigo, LOL Love these first person shooter vids tho. Keep it up You guys Rock, Merry Christmas! :)

More first person POV!!! Super great video keep it up!

Awesome stuff man

Freaking awesome views man...loved it!...I was cringing every time you looked up over to your pop(I thought I heard u say)...man has some big kahunas being up there....I learned today more than ever..bang on!

Bang on!

Bang on Brother! 🤘

Cool show glad I found it

Hi Matt’, cool to put the first nails of the bridging while it’s on the ground, did the “ rafter profile “ bracing show that bridging in the rafter co. Shop drawings too ‘along with the placement location of the purlins, sway bracing etc cause it also serves as good spacing as well ‘ That old Hitachi reminds me of when I would be up there physically doing the work too ‘

I wish the camera didn’t have like convex lense in it because I’m sure your wall was straight but in some angles it made the Top plate look bowed, but again I’m sure it was straight. Good framing

Nothing like watching some true pros at their craft. Hands like Jerry Rice btw.

Job well done . Get er done

Wow nice job 👏👏!!!

Great stuff. I think I’ll stick to my pitch roofs over trusses though 😁

Great upload! 💯

Man I really enjoy these videos... I also got into framing with my father, I’m 20 now and I love every second I spend on the job site. It’s kinda odd that I get home from a day of framing and look forward to then watching you guys frame on my free time. I might buy a go pro and start filming my work day as well, any chance you could sauce your POV filming setup? Keep bangin brother

That was fricken awesome content thanks for sharing my knees would definitely be knocking

God bless you I like your good work

Bro those catches tho so clean

The kids a damn good throw. 💪

Really like the POV. Also enjoying watching all the safety measures you guys are taking.

Q coming in clutch!!

Really enjoy this POV. Helps me guide my dudes/dudettes during deployment. Although I gotta tell them to ignore your badass dad straddling unenforced trusses lol. Great system, and I agree, mark both sides. Did the trusses come with blocks preinstalled, or ground guys do that? Yall are awesome, thanks for sharing. - rando Seabee

really liked the POV

The way you were squirreling around on one of your previous builds, I thought you were going to walk across that top plate! 😄

Nice methodical rollout gentlemen! Don't forget to tip your crane operator for not killing anyone. :)

Hey man I love the content, what action camera did you use for this video ? The quality is superb

Job well done more trusses video when you get a chance buddy.👍🙏👍

This video was dope bro🔥 keep them coming

Nice to see that you had a lift and used to do to your layout, as apose to walking along that plate. Granted I know it's the 'norm' in USA to do that.

Smart using your fall protection

good shit man

For the record I love and swear by those Milwaukee permanent markers

Hi Matt. Great video!! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Enjoy the day. Ray L

You guys are amazing. Learning so much from your professional work. Question for you... When you are putting in the cross members on the trusses... you are nailing them in at an angle. If a person was to use pocket screws, would this also be okay or no?

Did you take the spring out of the safety on your gun? Like it better that way?

I played catch with my pops but this is a whole new level.

Heck with that, I fall on flat ground lol Thanks B.B.

Ya'll got some hands!!!!
