Tiny House Floor Joists Part 1 of 2 

This mad lad just hammering nails into a steel like nothing's under there. Seriously nice hammer skill!

He DOES make it look easy! This playlist was my bible during our build. Mainly for the tips and technique, but also Dan's freakin' hilarious.

5:35 damn, I impressed with all these little techniques, with how to nail wood at the end. It's these little techniques that make the difference, between a Seasoned Veteran, who understands the science of Woodwork and carpentry, and the local Goober who just bounds crap in a sledgehammer... Thanks for sharing and educating us, this knowledge is priceless. I never learned this, or was taught the proper techniques in woodshop in school, it was such a disappointment, now that I look back. I think I was overlooked, because I was the quiet kid, at the back of the classroom, in a overpopulated classroom, while attending Palestine High School. I feel like these videos make up for those failures, by those educators.

Watching this again after few months and realise just how good your videos are compared to some of the other tiny house build videos I've seen. Hope to start my own build next year.

He makes it looks so dang easy!

I love the speed and efficiency in how you work, your videos are a pleasure to watch :)

I like this video series. You cover the simple stuff that an amateur like me might not think about (like crowning boards and the shower drain cutout).

Mate.... you are a absolute weapon, a true human elite! so inspiring

Liked the hammer flip and holster move there. lol

Dude. You are so good! You obviously know what your doing.

This was incredibly helpful. I learned a lot! Thanks for your videos.

your pretty good at this , im going to point out why its a good idea to put a barrier between the medal and wood , medal condesates causeing dry rot , the condensation gets trapped and cant get out , i would check into useing pt for that part of it , the concerns would be how does the new pt react to medal , i know it eats galvanized

I'm glad you have decided to make a video this way, I'm forever skipping through hour long videos just to see the bits I want to watch. Awesome style bro, true inspiration!

Your videos are going to be extremely helpful! My boyfriend and I are planning to start our tiny house build this summer, and have very little experience building. This channel seems to have a ton of information, thanks!

With the construction of that trailer alone I'd be betting you should of went tri axle that's heavy weight channel with that lumber, appliances she'll be heavy trailer. Frame won't be the issue axles bending would be my concern nice build none the less!

I learned so many little helpful tricks from you. Thank you. When you were pounding the nails in at the end of the video, where they going into the metal?

Hey dude, you slinging tools and nails like it ain't NOTHING. So it's clear you've been doing this almost all your short life and dude you must love it. Folk want you to build their tiny house with all that knowledge you got going on. Oh and I really like how you spin hang that hammer and land it spot on. Wavy dude.

Hammer flip to holster....nice! haha

Awesome skills there

Can't wait to its all done !!

Can you please explain a bit more about the width that you ripped your ledger boards to. You mentioned that over time they would shrink and you don't want the steel to make the floor uneven. Did you mount them to be a bit above the height of the steel beams, so there will be a slight gap between the floor board and the steel beams and the floor boards only sit on wood not steel?

Were you hammering the nails right through the wood into the steel frame?

Great video

Jeff again. .btw... you are hilarious as hell. was watching your videos for the first time last night and I was laughing my ass off. really love the videos.

So, Im getting ready to build the decking on my tiny home trailer... do you suggest treated or untreated 2x6s? I plan on using galvanized steel for the undercarriage instead of plywood, not sure if that makes a difference. I have a 30ft trailer so anywhere I can saved weight im trying.

Great videos! I am hoping to some day build one myself. What is the older truck in the background?

Helping by leaving a comment!

Yea the hammer trick was pretty cool! LOL! 😂

Can you use half inch carriage bolts to bolt the rim board to the metal sub frame of the trailer? Im nervous that the screws won't be strong enough or secure enough to keep the board on the frame

Hey Dan.. Jeff here. I have a question. I have a 16' car trailer with a 2' dove tail. I need to know if I can still utilize the dove tail as part of my tiny house build without having to cut it off? The trailer also has pockets on the sides for removable side walls. .can I screw my bam boards to those pockets or would I need to cut them off?

Ha Kenny like I said every time I watch your vids I see someone who knows aka like the nail you drove at the end of that stud to hold it up while you secured the other end instead of using a clamp nice time saver joe

This might seem like a dumb question but after glueing are you drilling/nailing the boards directly through the metal frame?

I love this guy

In this video, at 8:22 minutes from the beginning it appears like if you are nailing wood against a solid steel beam, Hoy do you get that? Are common iron nails able to penetrate harder steel? Are them special? I'll be very grateful if you clarify me that a bit. Thanks a lot and congratulations for this excellent course.

This Awsome video!!! For beginners and no experience Thanks!! I'm family of 3 and we want built a tiny home 9X30 size 13 feet high it's the highest we can go right

Awesome video man, it helps alot im gonna try and do this, thanks for taking the time to post it

this may be a dumb question or answered somewhere else but are you nailing into the actual frame?? #howthefff

Any chance you could give the item number or barcode on the screws? I can't find any that aren't hex and I need them to fit flush.

with using c beam I am Curtis why you didn't use that to set your floor joists in by notching the ends?

you can get a lav mic like the rode smart lav+ I believe it is for relatively cheap. they plug into your smartphone and use that for recording audio.

why not use pressured treated wood?

Can you tell us what the frame material cost was without the axles? Just the C channel.

Could you tell me how you figured out the hub face of your axles and the spring centers...Thanks Scott

Personally instead of nails on something like this that's going down the road bumping around and vibrating my choice would be screws over nails and piece of mind that it's not going to vibrate loose or any such thing you know what I'm saying.. yeah screws are more expensive but sure do hold a hell of a lot better especially in that situation..

What is the gauge of the steel 2x6?

You are a monster with the hammer.

Stiletto hammer?

I have watched a few videos about tiny houses and those recommended placing a thin barrier between any wood and metal. Doesn't it cause moisture in the wood if you don't put a barrier of some kind between the wood and metal? I am confused about this. Please let me know. Thanks

What kind of stuff did you use in your caulking gun

hi, could you tell me what kind of wood do you use for building? (floor and wall) thanks

great vids...no BS talking and blahh blahh this and blah blah that...a man showing how its done...keep up the good work!

awesome vid!!!!

I've seen some people having joists perpendicular to the sides of the trailer. Is that wrong?

What was the cost and how to make a frame if you don't mind me asking trying to do my own am taking your lead

Thumbs Up To A Great Video :)

I watched some of your videos

AGAIN WHERE IS YOUR SUB SUB FLOOR FLASHING TO PROTECT YOUR WOOD FROM THE ELEMENTS ON THE ROAD AND WHILE PARKED?

ROFL @ that automated call omg

When are hoping to move in...don't say when it's finished lol ;)

lol, phone call at the end.

Anybody who predrills is someone you can trust

niiiiiiccceeeee

stainless steel bolts would be better

Great video! Its very informative, I am thinking about doing something similar but to make a lighter travel trailer. #GoPACK #BeatTheDeacs

Watching black n decker people is just painful

This guy still.using Philips head fastners. Wrong. Please dude stop doing this. You got other folks thinking you know something
