But if your wall is not connected by strapping to your top plate, it doesn’t really help

@CHEECHMUN 9 дней назад

Cool tool. I'm thinking all those nails in the tie, so close together, just weakens the wood. Like making Swiss cheese. I'm thinking 2-3 nails on each tab?!?!

@victoryfirst2878 Год назад

Why not use wood screws to attach the brackets Sir ???

@jefftee448 5 месяцев назад

There's a reason screws aren't used in Framing. They don't have the lateral strength that nails do.

@victoryfirst2878 5 месяцев назад

Cost is the reason not used, then the time factor. The lateral strength has nothing to do with it, PERIOD !!! Screws do not work there way out of the wood. nails do that all the time. Peace !!@@jefftee448

In the last 100 years Florida has seen about 80 hurricanes and about 20 in Central Florida and yet the 100 year old home has survived. I think the extra strap is a never ending money maker for insurance companies

@anthonyrodrigues5032 6 месяцев назад

Brain dead comment, takes one hurricane to blow it all away just hasn't come yet or hard enough for those houses. Also tons of engineering behind them.

@jefftee448 5 месяцев назад

You're right...big hurricane strap always has their hands in our pockets. You need to do anything......you're house has proved itself hurricane proof

@rosewoodsteel6656 12 дней назад

Did a representative from your insurance company inspect the ties? Also, how much money did you personally save on your premium? Thanks!

Hi! I need help with this. I’m in central florida myself, in Orlando! I’m wondering if you would be interested in adding just the 3rd nail. (In my wind mit it shows has 1-2) need it badly due to hefty hike in HO insurance. I’d love it learn from you as well as compensate you for this job. Lmk!!

@Mr1dvsbstrd 2 года назад

3rd nail will bring you up too Connection category B ... There's diffrent levels of connections. Also you only need to do areas the inspector can see

No crawl space on my flat roof, how do I review the roof inside?

@neogx148 6 месяцев назад

I know this is a older video but just wondering how do you vent your attic? I have the same aged attic and looks exactly like yours but im not sure how i should vent it since it has no vents just two gabe windows and gets so hot. I was thinking of putting a powered attic fan

@robertwilson2047 Год назад

Yes, they are the minimum required nails with this clip for my state.

@Derpherppington 2 месяца назад

not everybody have a top plate. my roof is on top of another flat roof carport. the posts isn't even anchor down into concrete and its rely on gravity. the beams isn't even anchor in another but there for support of cross breams. and its from 60's and went through countless of storms and hurricanes. then all the sudden new regulation says old houses needed this and that. and most old home in FL roof pitch is 2-4/12. while the pitch in this dude video is like 12/12 which is high and have a lot of attic space and access vs others who have none or have to remove everything on top of the roof to get to it. so its not just "easy installation to save money"

You being from Florida. Can you use a screw. To install the tie downs. Please let me know. 😊

Simpson has screws especially made for this, which they say MUST be used for the ties. Of course, they cost more money

@tedmcnair9709 Месяц назад

They are called hurricane ties…..

@kimpliny 2 года назад

I wish I could do this! Due to the tight space between the top plate and the rafter at my house, it is literally impossible to do the job. I'd guess this upgrade could only be done when the houses are being built in most cases. Great to know what this kind of Wind Mitigation upgrade is as I was wondering why I did not receive any discount on my homeowner's insurance even after having a new roof.

@TheCraftsmanBlog 2 года назад

That is the case with a lot of homes. Always fortunate if you can access the framing, but not always the case.

@user-vf4yo5sd6n Год назад

Just a thought: You may be able to use Simpson truss screws either from the exterior by removing the top most piece of cladding. If you have drywall, you may be able to cut a small strip, horizontally to gain access to the top plates to use the screws.

Same here and my attic is all of maybe 2 feet tall. I read that you can do this from the outside through removing the soffit vents. I need to get this done asap.

@Eddie-gb3bn Год назад

Man, be careful with those nails behind your head.

@benharris4543 Год назад

Super helpful information about the insurance programs -- thank you! Our house (built in 1907) has extremely similar construction, including the original roof decking. Anything in particular I should be worried about considering the age of the rafters and ceiling joists (which are all true 2x4s)?

@edbouhl3100 4 месяца назад

This shows the rafters being connected to the top plate. But the top plate should also be tied to the framing below it by more than 100 year old nails. My preference is Simpson SDWC structural screws. The catalog (and website) shows a number of orientations/applications and the relative strengths. They are often stronger than the hurricane clips (which I also often use where they fit)

@frescoinspections Год назад

is there a way to do it with single wraps?

@scottdowney4318 2 года назад

Built in 1918, must be pretty good construction since it has survived without any of these hurricane clips. That means for 100 yrs it was fine as it was. I think this house may not survive a cat5 hurricane though! regardless of these clips, some other part of the house will fail, like windows, the house gets pressurized from winds close to 200mph and it explodes.
