With Ryan's ru-vid.comUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
Me too man. I installed porcelain and natural stone tiles for 6 years and completely fucked up my back and knees. I have huge respect for guys who can do this kind of work and dont have any health issues.
friendlywhiteguy stretching everyday, eating right and exercising regularly, and most importantly, proper lifting form can eliminate almost all of the physical long term issues related to the trades
If they had a competition for framing ,like they do for block masonry ,I have a real good idea who would win that,hands down.👍great stuff,fun to watch.
Love seeing this. Here is a guy who knows what he is doing and confident in his skills. I wish more young people would go into trades. Truly makes the world a better place.
Great work and excellent job of explaining the logic behind framing .. I was a framer 35 years ago and lifting walls hasn't gotten any easier i see ...
I find it amazing how far the skills of home building have come. I shared in plenty of those grunts of lifting things by myself that others would deem physically impossible. But with that said, I think you out did me on this job.
Never done framing man and you pretty much explained TO THE POINT how to frame a window. Thanks for breaking this down in a real world and at-work environment. Learned a basic concept within a few minutes... no, i will not call the next client and be like "I know how to frame a window". Just saying i couldn't grasp it with the other 2 hour videos of them selling products. I subbed this page. Gotta find your previous vid though. Great stuff
Man... you are a freakin animal ! Kudos... I used to frame back in the day... and you Sir are by far the "best" I've ever seen! If you "truly" want share your talents... Look me up, I'll make you "famous"... you already are with 24k subscribers, but trust me what you do and how you go about it is worthy of Star status ! Over the Top ! Your methodology is pure, self taught or other... you do it right ! BE SAFE would be my only share back with you. Standing 36' walls by yourself... I get it, just "be safe". Thanks for sharing your vids !!! Tom from New Hampshire
That circular saw you’re using in this vid is hard to beat in my opinion. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the other fancy shit but for an experienced framer it’s a lovely one to take to work every day
Me-wondering if the comment was negative or positive Me-watches video Me-Concludes it was most definitely positive because dude does, in fact, slay that window. 😎👍😁
Merhaba Bu işi ilk öğrenmeye çalıştığımda senin videon en öğretici olmuştu Fakat sonra seni kaybettim O kadar marangoz izledim ama seni bulmayı beceremedim Çok şükür bugün sana tamda bu videona tesadüfen denk geldim ve altın bulmuş gibi hissettim Dostum ben Türkiyeden yazıyorum ve burada kendime çerçeve ev yapmak istiyorum Evleriniz çok güzel çok mantıklı Green card sahibi olursam orada bu işi yapmak isterim Seviyorum marangoz işini
71 year young still learning carpenter here. I started before pneumatic nailers. Boy how things have changed. Very well made video, straight forward , interesting and easy to follow and I've been framing my whole life. What was the purpose of the Tyvek between the sheathing ? Are you purposely nailing at a angle so the nails don't go thru ? I cut my teeth on direct drive saws but why do you prefer them versus a worm drive ? You use a Paslode nailer, I thought Hitachi was the nailer of choice among framers ? Is your tip of your speed square broken off on purpose ? My word of advice is protect your hearing and save your back. Be safe and keep up the good video's. I wish I had You Tube when I started, I'd been 20 years ahead.
Excellent!! I’m going to be putting an extension on the back of my house soon and plan to do as much of it myself as I can. I’m not a joiner (I’m also not handless) so any tips on framing are well received.
Hola no hablo inglés solo un poco te he seguido cómo desde el primer capítulo y deberás que estás loco para parar esa esa casa sin un ayudante por lo menos de veras que admiro todo tu potencial y aunque estuvo nevando no paraste de trabajar eres una persona admirable te deseo lo mejor y no dejes de subir videos ya que te voy a estar siguiendo lastima que no te entienda porqué me gustaría hacer un pequeño proyecto aquí en mi casa lo malo es que no entiendo tus medidas ok sin más muchas gracias por tu aportación saludos desde Saltillo Coahuila México
First of Alll... Am Blown away... a House Build on your OWN.. its both a Miracle and a Amazing. Last but not least, boy u need to cut on the beer...i know its alot of work ...heavy stuff..lifting and placing them in their places..and i know..i know..you on your own.
Great video. But what do you use to fill the rest of the header cavity? Shouldn’t there be a 2x10 on the inside and outside of the trimmer/jack stud so the weight bears equally?
One more comment to add, here in the states majority of us sandwich 1/2 inch plywood to match the width of your studs, is it just not required in Canada?
Hey man, really enjoying the videos and have learnt a lot. I'm glad you are now breaking it down in sections to explain it all in detail. I have was wondering if you could explain why there is osb on window walls and sheathing and tyvek on the others. When you use sheating do you only have to tyvek the joints and over lap? Which is better and more cost effective? Thanks and keep the vids coming! Its very impressive seeing you build that last house yourself.
Not to gripe or anything but tyvek is manufactured porous so that if water gets behind the WRB it will run out through the “pores” so to say. I’ve had to tear a whole wall down because the inspector wouldn’t pass it unless the letters were upright to allow proper drainage, but that’s here in myrtle beach, not sure the codes of where ever you are, but anyway great video man.
At around 2:00 you use the terms up and down when describing some of the 2x6's you're adding to the wall. What does that mean? I 'framed' up walls in my basement and pissed off the drywallers b/c I didn't do anything normal, lol (nothing is bearing any load). Also I worked at about 1/10th the pace you keep. Learning a ton from your videos man, great stuff!
jcims it's where there are 2 2x6s making an L. It goes up if you need backing on the outside of the wall. Down if you need backing on the inside of the wall .I'll make more videos explaining more.
Hey, do you guys by chance cut your windows seals at a degree going outwards to let the flow of water to drain out? Also what do you guy tape your sheathing butt joints with? I'm trying to gather some best practice methods from every day pros on the job, im about to do complete remodel of a pier and beam house.
Hey, appreciate the video. What's your stud size on a 8ft wall? And would you recommend using a bottom plate underneath the header as some joiners don't bother. Header goes straight onto the jack.
Curious why you added a half inch for the widow opening, the manufacturer already accounts for that. A 3'0x3'0 vinyl window comes 35 and 7/16 x 35 and 7/16. you make that opening too big and the siders have to fur out the jam if they want to catch any wood in the nail flange.
Interesting in California Cripples are above and below and trimmers are on side running into header......trimmer and king stud on side of openings......what state are you in?.....
Hello CF, I'm here in northern California and putting together plans for an ADU in the back yard. It will be 750 s.f. with a cut hip roof and a raised floor. Would you be interested in framing the unit. Sure would be a pleasure working with you!!
I noticed that when you located the center of the window, you measure from the outside sheathing, not the outside of framing. Right now I’m currently taking classes and it has been confusing when to measure from the outside of framing or outside of the sheathing. Would you please explain in detail why it was correct to measure from the outside of sheathing? Thanks
There isn't a right or wrong way. Just depends on how the architect draws it up. Some use the sheathing as outside dimension, others everything is framing to framing.
Hi, nice job man. Have a question. Is there a reason why that top 2x6 of the window from below of the 2x10 is next to the cripple stud instead of on the top of stud and then 2x10 on top of that as well?
he mentions he prefers 3 1/4 or 3 1/2 nails in another video re: his nail bags (look here @ 42 seconds ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Jr43ps1KQM.html )
