Tiny House Floor Joists Part 2 of 2 Joists and Hangers 

So far this is the best introduction on the you tube site. Bill

I frame walls at a plant in central Ohio, for Wendy's, McDonald's, and a lot more restaurants. This guy most definitely a framer. No doubt. Teaching ppl about crowns in lumber. Teaching about cutting on same side of measurement lines. Showing ppl just how much there is to notice, and keep in mind. I dig the channel. Oh and good catch of the red bull. I do that often... Just, with monsters. Haha

Thanks. I have been looking to learn tiny home framing so I can design my own on 'Sketchup'. I finally found your videos and I keep going back and forth to see all the details. You have the best details. Thank you.

Very cool build! But in any salted roads being a trailer mechanic I promise those boards will stand no chance. It needs a steel crossmembers with moister bleeds frame with a undercoat or protective layer. Like under board (like cardboard) or foam. Cuz I bet all those nails get loose in moisture I know that cuz lag bolts do to.

Nice save on the Redbull

Looking forward to starting to build our tiny house. Going to get my husband a palm nailer for Valentines Day. Loved the video!

I am just staring to beef up my trailer frame and starting to plan my floor joist . Thanks for the info .

Pretty entertaining to watch you working! Also gives a likeable insight into the less urban regions of the USA. *thumbsup*

The red bull! my retired shop teacher self was cringing Great job

You got skills! Awesome information. Thanks for video.

Never used a palm nailer, looks awesome!

Genius! Cheers for inspiration/knowledge and experience Simon (Oslo, Norway)

Just found your videos from your trailer build, great videos man. Straight to the point, very informative and slick tool tricks 😉

just a btw, your videos are great. really informative and fun to watch. thanks for that

Great video! You make it look easy

Love the recessed floor system. Definately helps to add height to the tiny house. Personally, I would have used screws for the hangers, but if you have a palm nailer... It definately cuts down on time.

great video. I might need to rewatch the first video, but I don't recall you mentioning a weight for your trailer. I'm looking into making a pull behind travel trailer an enjoy your design.

I wish I was building a tiny house right there with you. You got it goin on. Any way I'm going to get a palm nailer.

Hi! Awesome videos !!!! How much does your project ended up weighting? Thanks for taking the time to film, edit, and add a ton of advice!

I'm so confused on what your nailing too on some of the angles you can't see it. It looks like its just the steal your nailing too :O

Dat was a cool trick bro with da hamer lol lol

why not just put the floor joist on top of the frame and save yourself tons of time? i know it's a hight issue but every mobile home ever built was made that way and, the usually have a 10-12" frame. maybe build the frame so it with some longitudinal supports in the middle, use 2x4s for floor joists and, insulate with high density foam to regain your R-value. then you'll only loose 3 1/2" of overall hight. then you can box your floor joists around your wheels and, not have the wheel wells to deal with inside your structure. plus you could just lay out typar or mobile home belly material out and build your floor on it so, you don't have to waste any time puting plywood on the bottom. That being said, you are doing a great job and, i can see you clearly know what your doing. I just can't help but wonder why all the extra work.

that is so strong-are you building a hirise ?

I would like to know how much for supplies to build your trailer Because this is something I have been thinking about building for about a year

Subscribed! For future videos, can you try to fix wind noise. Thanks.

Thanks Missed it

Lol. That ending with you catching the Red Bull....at least your priorities are straight...fuck that board getting nicked up..

LOL palm nailer.. nice..

Is there a mechanical reason you went for 16"s? Like the studs and joists need to be perpendicular or is it just how it is?

Nice job putting that floor system together my friend. I'm new to the channel (I am actually a carpenter from the Hickory, Charlotte area). I think that floor package looks awesome, but I do have a question and keep in mind I'm not criticizing your work or craftsmanship, but I was wondering if there was a reason that you used self-tapping screws to install the webbing and rim joist and not thru - bolted them..??..I realize you did glue it, but would you not worry about the screws vibrating or working loose with expansion or contraction...??? BTW, I really dig the stiletto hammer. I've used a Douglas for years, but they quit making them and I've had my eye on ordering a stiletto for a while to replace my Douglas. They're about the same price...

watching this was really quite entertaining! very thorough, and full of needed information! of course you make it look very easy, but knowledge and experience is major too. I do want to ask, and i hope it's not invasive, but what is your profession, or area of expertise? im actually interested in doing this and would like to know which route to go for school. keep these videos coming ! :3

Hahahaha love the bloopers at the end!!!

would it be helpful to use treated wood as your rim boards, and then untreated as the rest of it?

Aloha, Since you built a custom trailer why not just weld the joist hangers to the trailer frame and save all that added weight?

hey looking at the frame blend ,,lol i no it the lens.,.,,.,/. hey thank you so much finely some will show how it made ,i will more than likely build my own tiny home thank you again bye for now

I was surprised...the nails went straight into the trailer framing when necessary?? That's ok or screws instead?

Hi thank's, have to do one, but on french caravan (less strong, and not aloud here) : does wood few increase trailer strength ?

Great vid but how were the joists fastened to frame?

Love your approach to work, you can really tell you're in your element and enjoying yourself. Great videos!

would you build a trailer like that and sell it? So that one can build the same tiny house you are building?

I think joists sandwiching steel like this is going to cause premature corrosion of the beams. You'll have no way of seeing it , being able to clean and repaint rusty spots. Water soaking into the wood while driving in rain and snow will keep these beams wet for long time.

question you bought a pneumatic palm hammers are the electric one any good (Craftsman Auto Hammer) , For some weird reason I can not find anyone in the Swedish store that has the electric, nor any good brand of air model ! not even China ( AliExpress ) or as I call them wrong, searched the word "auto hammer"

Why did you rip the boards to 5 1/8 again?

how do you attach the wood to the steel rails?

Are you in Winston Salem?

What size lumber did you use

какая ширина прицепа?

Why are you spacing at 15 1/4"?

so ledger bolts aren't necessary?

why wood?

no clue

what the fuck is protecting the bottom

nice job, build a frame set axle run floor joist side to side, set black gray tanks insulate sheet! much less work! have you ask Jesus into your body? use screws only, all nails will loosen over time and travel!

LOL a can is not worth a piece of timber.

Just a sugestion for anyone who lives in a wet or cold climate to use pressure treated boards for all that 2x6 work directly onto the trailer as they will last 3 times maybe even longer
