Wears safety harness for first time in forever. Drops speed square from 20+ feet high. Love it. This is real construction. Not scripted like others. Keep the hard work coming Bro. Love your channel!!
Watching him have fun with the stapler makes me 1) not miss being a framer and 2) not miss using hitatchi in the winter. Of course dewalt nailer is just as bad. Bloody winter time! We always used 2 3/8" nails on the roof and the floor, That way we didn't have to have a separate gun just to do sheeting only different length nails.
@@itaintrocketscience try pulling off a sheet that's stapled 6 on center down 16-oc studs next time you're on a job. You'll rip the sheet to shreds before you get them to let go. Staples ain't cheap other than they cost less than nails. One thing I don't agree with is pallet nailing subfloors.... Dog Shit Builders LLC floor squeak guarantee is what I say... use screws.
@@charliechristian1097 But that’s exactly the problem. You get a leaky roof from junky shinglers, replacing a sheet of osb with staples is a nightmare when you’re tearing off. If it’s nails you just take a few minutes with a cats paw. When is the last time you saw the plywood fly off in a windstorm? Lol
People don't realize carrying sheets placing them nailing them when your literally inches away from possible death they don't really know what goes into building their homes this guy is nuts a 12/12 pitch roof is super steep you haft to be strong and very good on your feet not a single inch of Room for error
I've been framing for 18 years now in Edmonton ab. Guys get too comfortable then get hurt. Ive seen guys do dumb shit. Set a 2 ply lvl beam into place put 2 toe nails on one side then walk across it to nail the other side...... yea it didnt go as planned. Buddy fell when the beam let go. Nice hole in the first floor too.
3:13 is prime reason to make invest in a quality belt and also start taking unnecessary stuff out of your belt. I nailed atleast 2k sheets this year so far and my square was chilling in the trailer for everyone
Awesome! I remember my Canadian history when the lumberjacks would gracefully walk across floating logs to help position them. Apparently the dancing prowess of those guys was equivalent to their logging skills and many folk songs were written about them in that regard. Someone needs to write a similar song about the crazy framer.
Read about a guy delivering sheetrock to a high-rise and as soon as he stepped out of the truck somebody's tape fell from about 20 stories and killed him. Didn't even have time to put his hardhat on.
OMG nice and tight cut crazy framer I like your method of building, that you started the section of the roof with more work and end up with the ease portion.
They outlawed use of staple guns on decking and shingles here in the Southeast USA decades ago. Were only allowed to use full head ring shank nails on decking. Hurricane zone requirements!
Where I live, there are a lot of people have a hobby watching construction sites and call work safety on them in case of: workers without harnesses on a roof, open edges without safety guards, exposed rebar, or working during quiet hours
I am impressed. Good Job, wish I had your agility, and flexability. Keep up the good work, enjoy watching what I could do when I was young. I need your ankles. Good Luck, this really helps young guys getting into framing.
How well does your air nailer work in the cold? When I was a tech at Goodyear we had a couple of impacts we used outside to remove tires for repair. In the winter if one was forgotten outside along with the hose, the whole thing would ice up and stop working. We had to leave the tools and hoses inside and take them out just long enough to pull a tire or check air.
Your a beast man... Hope they pay you well. You deserve $500 plus per day easily. Great job as always and stay safe my friend. You also deserve over a million RU-vid subscribers too.
You can make alot of money doing this. Start a good name and do good work. Start out with one crew then build from there. Subcontract out to other framing companies once you have alot of work.
Good video do you like that Hitachi staple gun I have one just like that but don't like it much paslode is the one I like but they work terrible in the cold
You should set the depth for your saw based on the width of your sheets, insures that your only cutting what you need to and not putting slices in the trusses
Hey CF don’t know if you read all these but today in my first year carpentry class a bunch of people were talking you up man ... you inspire more people than you know keep up the good work
I’m just learning about how to sheet a roof I’ve been a cut guy for 3 years and then the last year I’ve worked I’ve framed in joists more and helped nail rafters and hang fascia and all that. I’ve sheeted a 6/12 three times and I’ve sheeted a 9/12 backface of a house and a 9/12 valley in front face. Oddly enough I find pulling numbers harder than pulling up the sheet lol. Maybe one day can u do a detailed video for pulling numbers for hips and valley sheets
Ground man should of ripped that ridge panel !! Measure and set the sheet , nail ! On one of my crews that's always the procedure ! Good luck with your projects .
Great job you Crazy Framer. Let me tell you that 40% of Men won’t even last 10min in that roof I swear. Keep up the good work 🤙🏼 let’s go for a cold one 🍺
Those days are over for me...I've got the knees to prove it. I can't even walk down a 5/12 without it feeling like somebody"s cappin' me in the knees with a ball peen. #passedthetorch
Watching your videos makes me miss framing. But don’t you think you over did it with the nailing? I was always told to do a 6 on the seam and 12 on field for roofs. Then again, regulations might be different where you’re at.
A really dangerous profession! What beer do you drink? Since you have been talking about it, you can make an excellent beer advertisement. "Drinking this beer can certainly help you calm down. "
im sure u know this !! but if u sheet under under your v trusses then u dont have to valley block and also u dont have to cut the valley angle twice, aka both sides of the valley ! save yea alot of cuts and measurements . just trow down a few full sheets , frame your gable ridge right on-top of the sheeting :)
@@theballq true, but but a couple vent holes would fix that or just don’t get carried away and just sheet what you need, you got strap the tops of your trusses every 2 ft anyway if sheets aren’t on em…2 birds. But I hear ya, nobodies wrong here
@@dirtworxphotography245 and you, did pandemic not come to your town? About the time you woulda been writing this, there was definitely NOT “plenty of ply” 😉
Don’t get it twisted, we are carpenters, not roofers. I hate when you go home talk to everyone in the shop having a beer and say putting up the roof tomorrow, and every time some mother fuckers gonna say “oh really you do shingles?” Get the fuck outta here. No matter how or how many times you say no I just do the building, wood construction we stop at shingles, nobody will ever understand there is a difference!
So you don't have to cut the top sheets on that gable, measure down 8ft from the top for your chalk line. You're going to be cutting the bottom piece anyway, save yourself a few rips 😉
Saw the speed square fall. Nope. Not ever doing that. If the roof is higher than 12 feet with a pitch steeper than 4/12 I am hiring people. Since the home I am building alone is a 3 story with a gambrel roof, I will not be doing the roof sheeting.
You make it look so easy ha last week I was sheeting a 10 pitch roof without a harness & I was shitting bricks grabbing on what ever I could every move I made 🤣
Roping up is unsafe. More ropes on the roof is a trip hazard. The only time I've ever fallen down a plane is from tripping up in the ropes.... only reason we install rings and ropes ad strap up is to avoid getting fines.
I stupidly wrote the question before video was finished so my bad However , that being said ( in Pennsylvania at least ) we always use ridge vent because our inspectors argue those little squares don't vent enough for a roif that size. Also you can drill 1 1/2 holes along the length of the roof hips then install a foam low profile vent then you put caps over it. I personally dont like that method. But I digress. My question is hereby withdrawn
but.... gotta give the guy the next measurement immediately after you receive the piece he just cut-get it down with 3/4 staples ASAP and then measure the next piece to keep him ahead of you. Then again the cut man may have just been busy and you do that regularly, and the part I saw just was one instance.
As fantastic as it is to watch other framers in other countries and there methods I still don't get why there is no scaffolds at all to be seen I can see its not needed for framing but how do they finish the walls or in fact cover the roof or fit windows? 👍
Roof shingles come on a truck and they crane them to the top, windows off a ladder or a zoomboom with a platform on the forks or build a temporary scaffold. The siding where I'm from is done from hydraulic pump jacks that attached to the roof and planks run across them so they can go up from ground level to underside of soffit
Cut man should know that bottom measurement! But yeah that’s a steep roof for sure. Anything more than 6/12... me no likeee. Makes you walk at a 45 once you get back on that subfloor
@@waltertaylor1897 cut man is a senior position. It's earned. He should be miles ahead of the nailer in terms of whats needed. If this isn't the case, you're doing it wrong.
