Framing Tips: Tying Walls Together, Window Sill Trick, Wanes in Lumber #15 

Happy Friday Matt!! thanks for keeping the vids coming hope you guys have a wonderful weekend.

Keep up the good work!

Why is Plywood so expensive lol jk Seen you in Russ comments what other artists you into ? You might like Aesop rock - dorks I been banging that one while framing here in the IE

In Eastern Europe the most common building materials are clay/silicate brick or aerated concrete block. Are they available in the US for any reasonable price?

Great job as always! I'm always looking forward to your next video.

Flyingmayan, I'm not that far behind you. I'll be 61 this Summer. I could still be a good cut man for someone. 👍

How do you know which wall is the longer run and which is the shorter when tying walls together? Is there a code for which should be the longer?

Same

But you can see he his a good friend. Bang on

😅😂😭🤣

Up about 300% here.

I know the feeling, i don't really like to brag about going to expensive places but I just left the gas station

electrolytes, but your right on track. Check out "real salt", it's the best!

I’ve met a few grumpy fucks. How did your generation keep your cool dealing with so many? I get the idea that those kind of guys were a lot more common.

Stabila plate level.

Hey, I’m glad you’re here. 😬

In ur next life u will become a builder so stay tuned..

Same. I know nothing about any if this, but these videos are so satisfying and awesome to watch. Matt is a great teacher. Very professional crew.

Screws don't have the shear strength that nails do. You want something that can bend and not break. Settling can snap screws right in half. Doesn't sound like a huge deal if you were adding on to a structure that has already settled but for future reference. Screws are great for building but not in all situations.

Screws are an excellent second set of hands and are great to use as a clamp while you nail it off. Simpson makes framing screws which I do use for specific applications like finish fascia boards onto the rafter tails, or to suck up stubborn boards where even the 3.25” ring shank galvies won’t hold. PITA remodeling so I feel your pain. A tip: layout your plates, then take all of your measurements and write them down- if the change is a constant slope then you can gang cut your studs for what is essentially an extremely low pitched rake wall. Lay all the studs on their edge use the two end measurements and then snap a chalk line across the boards, number the boards,roll them back to flat and then use your speed square as a cutting guide and cut each board at the mark. Now you have your studs ready to install in order.

I do this on recessed windows! 5° though, bit steeper.

These are sliders! Backyard will be fenced off. Won’t seem like a garage eventually.

Rock them almost everyday, and i love them.... Vans for life.

I love vans but they really aren’t comfortable when doing construction especially standing on ladders

@@bananainacup not bad for walking top plates setting trusses though

@@MmmmGoodBoy maybe so I’m not a carpenter I’m an electrician but I don’t like crawling through attics with em

🙃👍

Good luck with your apprenticeship. Half a year left my man

Hey... I just seen you over on Perkins Builder Bros, & Buikder Buddys, lol ✌👍🇺🇸🤘😊

@@semperfi5861 I'm a consumer of great content! You've got good taste coming from the Perkins Builder Brothers and RayJay, then landing here 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

2 words; Larry Haun Please don't admire this new style of framing tht relies solely on lithium battery packs and the use of fancy trade lingo to impress you

Fuck more than 2 words

@@whirledpeas1182 yes I use a lot of their techniques as well in Northern California carpenters trade school they show us a lot their videos and techniques

They own both, luckily! The neighbors (empty lot) is planning & permitting for a set of duplexes.. 4 units on 6,000SF lot. Ridiculous!

@@MattBangsWood yikes! So no throwing the baseball in the yard.

Used them today for the first time!

@@Sturdyboi3030 how'd it go?

I want a set but I rarely ever frame multi level, and never off subfloor.

@@MattBangsWood up here on the oregon coast we seem to only build with subfloor or basements.

He nails his blocks through the subfloor and into the joist underneath. Best practice stacks studs inline with joist, so your stud would be lying on top of where you would want the block to go. Regardless, pre-nailing that block creates one more trip hazard better off avoiding while standing walls.

He could have his angles cut first. I do everything I possibly can before standing walls. We do all of them by hand, sheath them, heavy as hell and I don't like holding a 40 ft wall while people are fumbling around looking for shit. I've seen videos of walls coming back on guys and they get mauled. I like everything ready

I noticed that too. The wall is tied off to the lift so working quickly is one thing but it’s not an emergency situation.

You start out framing then when your knees and back are shot you start doing trim and other trades that have a good balance between the amount of hard work and the money. Some people stay with it forever but some also get into other trades that interest them more or that come easier to them. I started out framing and I love it but physical limitations (cancer) made me become an inside guy. Tile, drywall, trim, flooring. We have a 75 year old block layer. I don't know how he does it but he likes it. It is definitely easier when you're a young man and you don't think about how bad you can get hurt and can run all day in the hot and cold
