Hey guys - enjoyed this video, as I have all the previous ones! :) Wanted to say: don't worry about the bloopers, retakes, etc. All of that is what makes life real and I know we have ALL hit those "brain farts" when we're setting stuff up, laying it out, etc. Personally, I enjoy the unedited items, as it gives me a sense of how things work and go for you all. So... I would say that the CONTENT is FAR more important than working on editing! Save your effort in the editing room Jordan, and instead, let's see things as they go with MORE content! :)
My Grandfather, who was a cabinet maker and shop teaher always said the difference between a good carpenter and an ok carpenter is that the good one knows how to hide his mistakes, not that he doesn't make them.
I love everyone of your videos! Not only is is a great watch, and informative, but it's father, son, and son in law. Truly an epic adventure. Hope I can do this one day with my own family. God bless you all. God bless!
You guys should definitely run some ethernet cables from the future location of your modem to any tv/computer location before closing these walls. Should also consider potential wireless access point location as well as security cameras and other connected devices. Wi-Fi is good, but nothing beats wires.
Second this, in fact if they want to have any security cameras installed once the build is done, most of them only use Ethernet (carries both data and power).
Hi Team, I'm not a "comment guy" usually, but I must say I just finished watching your videos since the TEMPORARY bathroom renovation in the old house. I live in Europe, so we usually don't build wood-framed houses, but I learned much from you guys. Paul you're not only an artist while doing the job, but it feels like you love teaching!! It's been a long time I haven't enjoyed a "construction" channel that much (since the day I discovered the Perkins Brothers one). Just wanted to say thanks, I have my popcorn and my notebook ready for the next episodes, keep up the good work team!
You guys are therapy for me and my husband as we fix a number of things on our 1911 America Four Square. Your tip on number your rafter tails and spray paint are the type of tips we find useful. Love your attention to detail. TY!
You guys could have easily "not mentioned" the angle difference between both sides. Props to u guys for doing that and allowing us to see all the problems u come across.
I so needed to see this because I was beating myself up for problems when I built the roof on my shed. Now I know that its expected to have some minor problems.
Soooooo true! Man if this was my house and I don’t know better I would have stressed out so much and hauled everything for days to get an answer 👏🏼👏🏼 so thank you!
Hi Studpack crew. I have watched you guys since the very 1st vedio when the property was first bought can't wait to see the final product. I'm a big fan.
It's crazy to think that this isn't scripted! You guys are making up the explanations as you go. I'm sure there's more outtakes and bloopers because of this, but it feels way more authentic. It's like I'm at the construction site being taught live. Thanks for the content, it's so informative and I've used your tips and tricks on my own projects!
been doing sideing soffit and facia for 37 years. and just about every thing else you can do to a house about the same thing you guys do. and i myself hate wavey facia boards.but i do alot of old work sometimes you just have to deal with it great job guys i dont know how papa stud pack deals with that heat. yall be careful out there.
Doing the eaves after finishing the building. Ensures the building envelope is air and insect sealed. Plus you save $$$ on closed cell spray foam, don’t have to fill eaves since there outside the building envelope.
@@pats9414 I box out eaves with zip, tape seems with zip tape fill ceiling and eaves with closed cell spray foam. $250 we’ll spent for a tighter home. Add make up air unit and work in the attic in the middle of summer at a cool 75 degrees. But after seeing this probably gonna switch methods.
@@duanebarnes3587 I’m saying what they did was a waste of time to save 1-2 bucks a year. The traditional way of doing it is fine. The problem is lack of attention to detail and not caring that creates the problems they’re trying to avoid. Filling the soffit with insulation is like insulating the space under a porch roof.
thanks for keeping it real with the bloopers. it makes for a good chuckle and reminds the rest of us diyers that even our favorite studpack crew is human! keep up the great work guys!
I always love seeing you guys going through this whole process as a family! Watching these becomes a great part of my week I look forward to. Makes me really want to make my own house with my family later in life.
Studpack, The way you put these videos together is great . The music is not overbearing. The spoken words are clear easy to hear. A pleasant variety to the shots. Great job Jorden ! The interaction of you guys is heartwarming. Checking in often for the next video.
Making RU-vid videos takes more time than folks realize. If they were able to build without the cameras, they'd do quite well. And speed isn't everything. Quality is everything.
We used a framing square against the side of our shed to measure out the cutoff amount on the front and back truss, used a level to go straight up from the mark to the top edge of the truss to cut, and then ran a string line down the length of the sidewall to mark all the trusses at once
Even with the extra work to seal up for air leakage I found it always easer, fast , stronger and safer to have the over hang built in to the trusses! But that’s me . Good video and quality work no mater what !!
After working for a contractor for 8 years I moved to southern Maine and went to work in a truss factory that at the time was the largest one in the whole state, we made some massive truss systems over the 20 years I worked there. while doing carpenter jobs on the side. So for the house build, when I worked for the Truss factory in southern Maine we had numbered tags. When the builder put up the trusses all the tags went on one side in order that helped after the pinch roller making the difference very little on the end . We did some trusses with the overhangs built right into the trusses, some without, it was what ever the builder wanted.
Been following this build and many other projects for a few years all because I looked up how to build my own bed frame long ago… So happy to have found this channel. Love how smoothly the gang operates and including the bloopers/occasional mistakes really solidifies your professionalism. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this and the house. Keep up the great work fellas!
Top notch stuff. I wish contractors in my area had as much attention to detail as you guys do. Maybe then I'd hire out some of my projects. Until then, DIY is the way.
Thank you Jordan! Thank you for the hours of dedication and hard work you spend creating these videos for us viewers. Your video production skills are truly amazing. Also, thank you and your wonderful family for sharing your skills with us. God Bless!
Some Notes- I wouldn't angle the soffit unless you're installing lights with a gimbal, which are more, typically. Otherwise the lights will just be aimed at the house vs. down to light the path for the user. May want to consider taping /wrapping over the edge of the fascia 2x6 because that's the area most likely to rot if water finds its way in. Better to do it now as a precautionary measure.
As a young man... I loved the series PBS This Old House. I feel like this is the new edition: This New House. However, in this video, you answered a question I had in a previous comment about the overall design and finishing of the house and the BTS that goes into the work, research, and effort to come up with a build that will be pleasing to the eye and not look patchwork. A few comments: Paul, don't let the young guys raz ya, you are the star of the show, and also who needs a forklift when you have a Rad!
Great video...always learn something. Really looking forward to seeing the details of the low voltage panel. You're right...almost no details on RU-vid.
Once again, I'm in awe of the tricks you have for making sure everything is perfectly measured and aligned. The string-and-spray trick and numbering the rafter tails is one I'll be filing away!
This video is filled with so many good tips! I also love that if heaven forbid you get a nasty storm the overhangs can be pulled away by the wind and the roof may be safe!
No matter how pro you guys get, you still show us your mistakes and retakes. Thank you. That whole vibe is why i've followed your channel. You guys deal with frustrating situations like champs and it's taught me so much.
Thank you all for the transparency! I love all your videos, very easy to follow and very encouraging. I am working on a small project that feels like it is taking me forever but these videos give me so much knowledge. Awesome job, I loved the bloppers too LOL.
When climbing with that bad hip, a step together pattern works better than trying to alternate. Going up, the good hip goes first(the good goes to heaven) and going down, the bad hip goes first(the bad goes to…well, you know where the bad goes 😉).
Im glad you guys figured out the chalk line thing, even if it was a bit late. The whole time I was thinking what a pain it must be to line up on the bottom and on the inside of the angle like that
That’s gotta be the slowest way to cut tails…just throw them up, pull a string and cut. Fine tune the couple that cause a dip or bulge and you’ve got laser straight fascia. Also should have been done Prior to sheeting the roof, that way it’s tied into the roof by sheeting. That’s DEFINITELY going to sag over time with a distinguished line where it meets the roof line.
Yep! Trusses are usually marked on one end for consistency. Live and learn. There will be so many things that you'll learn from the garage that you will apply to the house. Just be super SUPER careful on the ends of that scaffolding.
We had a 60’ building 12’ 2x6 walls that we couldn’t get perfectly straight. The trusses had 10 1/2” tails for a structural fascia. We snapped a line 1 1/2” in on top plate. Then we used a marking jig to put 12” in mark on every truss and aligned those marks with the snap line.
I watch/listen while at work. I can't always check the thumbs up but i do always like the videos. I only figured out a few weeks ago why i like y'all so much... y'all in Texas enjoyin' the same heat!
Great job as always fellas!! Paul just keep being real. Really looking forward to seeing this journey through with you guys. Again thank you all for what you do and just know that your channel has helped me more than you’ll ever know!! God Bless!
Great videos! You guys are a great team. Awesome father and awesome son. As a builder of custom homes in so cal and nor cal for 40 years, excellent work
Hey hey! It's been great being subbed all these years .... thanks again for the channel and hope you have had a perfect 2023 summer! Congrats on your growing success!!!
Doing the overhang like this keeps the integrity of the air sealing. If you had done this with longer rafters, air sealing wood have been harder. Not impossible, but harder.
"A "Monopoly" house" as Risinger calls it. The simpler the airtight box the better the airtight box. Fewer expensive seams that require expensive tape and labor to air seal.
Toenailing those overhang boards like that doesn’t seem like it would retain their integrity. Wouldn’t you trust hurricane hangers more than this? I’m in Minnesota and this just wouldn’t fly up here.
no just no lmao they did this wrong from the start should be a continuous piece from the peak of the roof to the end of the overhang that thing will sag over time 100%
Fellas. Thanks for sharing so much quality content, frustrations, challenges, team spirit and so much of yourselves. The generosity is compelling and quite the example. P&L
Slick trick with the paint and taught line. And numbering the overhang studs. I know you fellas have a long way to go but it sure seems like every day you’re getting really close to drywall and finishing. Also the paint one end of trusses when dropped off is such a good technique.
You guys should also run a internet fiber cable from the outside where you guys have planned the internet connection from your provider into your power closet and another one to your future house, cause you may have the option to use fiber from your provider and have a very clean and fast connection, 👍😁 also good luck with the rest of the build.
StudPack you are the best. I’m planning on building a garage next year and now have the blueprint. These are the very best how to videos I have ever watched. Better than Bob Villa, Steve Thomas and Kevin O’Connor. And almost better than Norm. You guys rock !!!
I wish Paul had been my first journeyman when I was an apprentice! I had one of those "you will learn what they teach you in class" guys. My second Journeyman was a rock star... told me to forget what they taught at the apprentice center.... I am amazed I survived the apprenticeship! Thanks for the video! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
Absolutely love your channel! I never thought that I would be interested in how to build an amazing garage but I can't wait for you to post the next video. I was hooked after watching your backsplash video... learned a lot from that one and was successful with my first tiling job that to you guys.
Why doesn't Magnolia Network or TLC pick these guys up for a TV show??? The Stud Pack is better than any home improvement show on TV. I could watch you guys for hours.
Why did you just remove the new video? It was a cool way to film i like the normal setup but the new one was more like behind the scenes and was interesting. i noticed 10 minutes in i couldn't see the comments hit refresh and bam the video was gone
They even removed the community post explaining why they took it down. They said too many complaints but everything i saw on the explanation was positive. 🤷♂️
They need to stop pandering to people. People will always complain about something different at first. They should have just let it ride and then waited a while to get a balanced view before posting the next one. they didn't need to remove it 20 minutes after posting it@@absentstars474
@studpack yeah I was enjoying the new video style! I know how difficult it is to make video content and it was cool just to see y'all just focus on working as opposed to getting all the explanations 100% correct (seeing Paul's frustration when he messes up). I say keep more of the mistakes in! Nobody is perfect and it makes it more real when you just correct yourself on the fly. Please keep sharing your content!
Thanks! I have a suggestion. When you use the two pieces of Zip and a the temporary rafter tail you could fasten one piece of Zip to the temporary rafter and not have so many things to have to hold in place. My son and I are about to build two houses for our families. Gonna be a lot like what you guys are doing. Great job!! Terry
One thing that I like about the stud pack build is that the roof line is simple. Coming from the UK to the US I noticed that most of the houses have multiple pitches that seem unnecessarily complicated. Keep It simple...
I absolutely love the channel! I've been following along for a long time and I can't believe how fast you guys put this up! Amazing job. If I had the means to do it, I would bestow upon you the gift of a scissor lift! I can only imagine how difficult that scaffolding is to deal with. Anyway, love the show and keep up the good work. Stud Pack for life!
Man you guys are seriously getting so good at this RU-vid thing. Love too see how the house is coming together! I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m learning a ton!!!!
This is the video I needed! I just built a shed by myself and even though I was so careful, the over hangs were off. Now I get it. I'm going to watch this video until it embeds in my brain because I need to fix some water damaged raftertails and roof on one side of my roof. I was dreading it but now I think I can do it.
Love the videos guys as always. Those videos have actually help me a lot since im currently working on my own soon to be rental home. I live in north houston and will love to help out if you guys ever need it.
