Calvin Cutts was born for this

@ProTradeCraft 5 лет назад

AGREE!

“To make it hard for the next guy to move” 😂😂 that’s my motto. When I’m dead and gone, I want the next young guy to have a hard time as well getting it out 😂😂.

@rmacster 11 месяцев назад

Great video. Very informative. Thanks for making it.

@TwoTall1988 3 года назад

Calvin really doesn't want to be able to see in the future. Hitting hardened steel against hardened steel, running a reciprocating saw through steel screws and timber, and running a circular saw with nothing but 'safety squints' is a good way to seriously injure or lose an eye.

But yet he has hearing protection!

There's always one in the crowd.

@jenniferfarsh675 9 лет назад

you have to make it hard for the next guy ;) love the humor

@uselessquest 5 лет назад

Great work, but I was soooooo stressed seeing him without proper ppe. Glad he kept his eyes after a job well done!

@SK-swdjk88 Год назад

Calvin, please put on some safety glasses! Also, thanks for the video, very helpful:) I grew up in Pepperell! Small world!

@prayerpowersr854 7 лет назад

this was delightful! Good night

@Zamicol 5 лет назад

Great video thanks for posting.

@tracertagg 8 лет назад

should always wear eye protection!

@uselessquest 5 лет назад

Omg thought the same thing. Especially cutting through screws. That alone makes me paranoid enough to leather up my arms and wear my best gloves!

@mikekim5135 4 года назад

But he was squinting. Surely, his eyelashes would protect his eyeballs from projectile pieces of metal and wood. Obviously, I'm joking. Yes. Most definitely, he should be wearing eye protection. Interesting that he knew to wear hearing protection.

@TwoTall1988 3 года назад

Is it weird that I'm more worried about him hitting hardened steel against hardened steel (hammering his hammer as a wedge).

@BAD_CONSUMER 6 лет назад

man, why does everyones house but mine have a huge crawlspace

@danielmorrison-editor 6 лет назад

This is not a crawlspace, it is a basement with living space.

@biged391sad1 4 года назад

Your not alone.

@jochimbenschneider1915 Год назад

Now do the hard one with no basement!

@downonafarm177 5 лет назад

Thank you. Working on an 80 yr old. So 1 1/2" load bearing? That makes it easy😀

@RobertWierzbowski 8 лет назад

Really helpful.

@11219tt 3 года назад

Do i need to be worried about the house collapsing for the hour or so there's a missing floor joist? I need to remove and replace 4 and was going to do it one at a time.

@InXCtinC 6 лет назад

what did he do with the bundle of wires going through the old joist?

@jamesmcinnis208 6 лет назад

They were ugly - he cut them off.

@jakerivera39 Год назад

I’ve got a 16ft span that has true 2x8s but 10 have rotted obviously I can’t put 2x8s back in. What type of wood should I use and can I just notch out the joist where it sits on the cinder block wall ?

@ProTradeCraft Год назад

you should hire a professional carpenter.

@AustinWilhite 4 года назад

No need for any connectors into the subfloor to replace the (now) missing nails? How many joists in a row can I get away with doing this to using only adhesive?

@JR-uy3zo 3 года назад

Not sure, but locktight pl 3x is stronger then the wood

@wolfy1 2 года назад

Came here to ask that too...

@chrispetersen6963 3 года назад

My space is only 18in tall. Must be nice.

@BazColne 7 лет назад

Exceptional.

"To make it hard for the next guy to replace" lol BUT WHAT IF THE NEXT GUY IS FUTURE ME?!?!

@h.l.4723 4 года назад

would it be safe to permanently remove the ceiling joists without ruining the structure of the house? Asking because I want to increase the height of my basement so I can practice golf such as my driver and woods without damaging my house.

@1m2a3t4t5 3 года назад

ever find an answer?

@h.l.4723 3 года назад

@@1m2a3t4t5 nope

@4bigwheels09 2 года назад

It depends on the structure. Hire a contractor

@BrokenRRT 7 лет назад

Was that fire and water damage?

@trangofast9692 6 лет назад

this was almost a good video. anybody can saw a piece of wood in half. this was 90% removal and 10% installation.

@Anti_puilo 5 лет назад

In construction, unless you are building something brand new, preparation is usually 90% of the job.

@Chef1Mat 4 года назад

why not sister the beams

@jgsotta 5 лет назад

Really thought I was gonna watch a guy get blinded @2:05. #protip

@danielmorrison-editor 5 лет назад

I probably wouldn't have published the video if he got blinded. Actually, I probably wouldn't have finished shooting if he got blinded because I would have driven him to the hospital!

@Anti_puilo 5 лет назад

Sometimes it's not necessary. At work, we are often required to wear safety glasses when don't really need them. HSE is absolutely inadequate nowadays... And then it just puts strain on our eyes, damaging our vision. But when you are cutting something, it's better to have the glasses... Common sense, yep.

@PhilThurston64 2 года назад

This assumes you have a "modern" floor joist to replace... not 100-year-old solid 8" x 5" joists like me :(

@ProTradeCraft 2 года назад

board-stretcher?

@davidgill8922 6 лет назад

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, you're going to have TWO FEET with no plywood screwed in from above....../ Why not just set a new joist butting the old, on one side or both.

@danielmorrison-editor 6 лет назад

No screws, correct, but plenty of construction adhesive. In this instance, the home owners have chemicle sensitivity, so all of the charred stuff had to be removed.

@dareisnogod5711 6 лет назад

That was my idea, too. Less work. As good or better, no?

@AB-ul7hc 6 лет назад

Eye protection!!

@compilationhero 4 года назад

Who makes floor joists our of pressboard?

@fiver-hoo 3 года назад

about half the industry for the past two decades.

@gman100 6 лет назад

Gloves and glasses.

@stephg9230 5 лет назад

Pepperell? Awesome. Can I hire you for a joist replacement or sistering? I am in Lowell. Please provide contact info./website or email. thanks!

@ProTradeCraft 5 лет назад

I will forward your request to the Remodeler, but don't hold your breath-- they do mostly deep energy efficiency retrofits and new construction, this was a house they built, that then had a fire, so they fixed it.

Bet he wishes he had a multi tool

@ProTradeCraft Год назад

I think he has one by now.

@HeavyK. 5 лет назад

That looks like a huge pain in the ass.

@borys444 4 года назад

Being the safety police is one hell of a drug..

@Fnberg744 Год назад

I guess. Seems like some people can't help but say the obvious shit . I'm sure this guy is wishing he had his glasses on but ...he doesn't. He's probably thinking fuhghettabouttit
