These are the types of videos that make RU-vid the most important achievement of our civilization. Truly. For as long as RU-vid exists, it will continue to be the greatest archive of human skill and creativity ever established. And good job sir! You've done your part to contribute.
This is exactly what I needed to see with an explanation that makes sense. You, sir, are my hero. Thank you for taking the time to build your mock-ups and make this video!!
This is a great lesson taught by a great teacher. The models made all of the concepts clear and accessible, and the instructor's tone, pace, and demeanor made it all very easy to follow. I could listen to this guy all day.
I work in IT and live in a rented house that is also covered in asbestos... I have been watching this guy all day without real reason to. Very interesting and top tier presenting.
I'm building a 12x42 cabin and have spent countless hours researching framing in order to draw up my plans. This video series is by far the best. A lot of useful information that's carefully explained with reasoning spread throughout. Wished I had discovered this a year ago. Watched many of the Larry Haun videos which are still mostly relevant today. This series really gets to the point with great explanatory diagrams. Thank you!
Just discovered your channel, I'm 24 years old and getting into the trades Watching all the way from the Fiji islands, I appreciate all the free knowledge you've just given in your video thank you sir! God bless.
I have never been involved with construction, but I found this fascinating. Incredible all the thought that goes behind the things most folks take for granted.
What an awesome video. Succinct info, delivered without fluff. The models are great and the digital recreations really drove the points home. Very nice job!
This is. Very informative video. Sometimes we get spoiled and want 1 min videos for years worth of knowledge. This video reminded me to take time and watch. Very very very informative
This is amazing! I’m about to build a shed and chicken coop and this is by far the best framing video I have found! Looking forward to learning about roofing next!
I’ve gained so much clarity from these videos. The mock-ups and illustrations work wonders for people who are visual learners like myself. Thanks so much for taking the time to put these together!
This is fantastic, I’ve been looking at shed building videos and none of them ( that I’ve seen so far) touched on the corner wall connections like you’ve provided here, excellent educational and helpful information, subbed right away. Thank you very much 👌👌👌.
Only watched one video and already know this is a channel all millennials and Zoomers should follow. Save money, do things yourself and always expand your skill set. Channels like this are extremely valuable.
Thank you for this detailed explanation that was easy to follow and listen to. I am in the middle of building a cottage with some help but mostly on my own and these types of videos are very helpful and provide me with the confidence to continue. Many thanks. I will continue to watch more of your videos. Cheers!
Very well explained. One company wanted me to build a room within their huge warehouse and I wasn’t sure how to connect the separate walls but now I have a good idea on how to do that. Thanks for answering my question so clearly.
This was perfect. Was a framer for a couple years after the navy and you are so right. Framers need to think ahead and considee the following trades. Ive seen different 😂. 👍🏿
EXCELLENT presentation. Clearly spoken, material examples are outstanding and easy to grasp visually, and every join makes sense in the bigger picture of a build involving multiple trades. I’m very impressed, and learned a lot. Subscribed!
I was watching a Scandi builder recently, and in his build instead of the second top plate he had the same size timber on edge as a lintel beam immediately under his top plates all around his build. It stiffens the top plate against vertical loads a lot more than the second top plate. I don't recall how he secured the top plates to each other at junctions, but here in Australia I'd expect to use a bit of galvanised sheet steel over the join rather than an extra piece of timber the full length of the wall, if I didn't need the second top plate to stiffen the wall. We use a lot of galvanised sheet steel components in holding our buildings together - it's very good for the task!
I wanted to say thank you for this video. I'm going to build a Tiny House next summer and I have a lot to learn since I want to make it right. I've been watching tons of construction videos and this one is, by far, the best about framing connections. I'm going to subscribe, watch your other videos and may even enroll in your online classes. You're doing an amazing job, well done!
The building code calls for drywall fasteners to be installed 8" o.c. for nails and 16" o.c. for screws on the edges so the if the ladder method is used it would have to installed minimum 16" o.c. not 24" o.c.
Hello. I am really enjoying this channel’s content. Very informative. I would like to know, if possible, how to either 1) join the overlapped top plates at corners to accommodate a “ballooned” wall frame that will host a scissored gable truss OR 2) how to brace a scissored gable truss against wind loads without interfering with the interior ceiling’s “vaulted” aspect.
Man thank you so much. I’ve been scrolling through RU-vid forever it seems like just to find someone explaining this. All I ever find is someone in the construction process barely explaining how it’s supposed to be done, you also gave alternatives to the common way which is a plus.
Your lessons are very good and practical. I built my own building by myself, the first time doing that from the ground up. Some things I did well, but in some places, I was cursing the framer's rough carpentry and the lumber stores' crooked lumber. These things that you're teaching make instant sense to me, having had a little experience before watching. But if I watched before having any experience, I would still at least be aware of these considerations from the get-go.
@@ConstructionEd I'm building the house in sections. This will make the other sections go better! And then maybe I'll hire out. 🙂 "Granny Construction"
4 full studs in the four stud corner fills the corner and makes a solid corner which strengthens the whole house, no cutting blocks. Frame your walls normally with one stud at the end, easy. Stand walls together and add 2 studs in the corner, done. The extra studs get placed easier in my opinion. Instead of lining them up loose on the floor. Just seems easier and stronger.
If a framing member is not specifically required, it is best practice to leave it out. It is just extra framing, extra time, extra material, and you loose the ability to insulate the corners... and unless the structural engineer specific calls it out in a detail - it is plainly not needed.
@@rbnhd1976 R-value of wood is about 1 per inch and the insulation that could be in the 3-inch or so cavity of a 2x6 corner is over R3 per inch. The age-old argument about a 4 stud corner being stronger is rendered moot because the strength is not called for. The sheer strength is coming from the sheathing, and unless there is more load on the corner than the studs the extra framing is just that - "extra". Yes it has been done that way for a long time, but over and over it is has been shown that the extra materials are not needed.
from my point of view as a hanger I've got other stuff to do like flatening out walls fixing bowed studs cutting out excessive foam fixing framing issues and at times cutting around bad sheetrock the last thing I want to do is out the framers backing in !!!
This was well done and I’m glad I found it. I’m working on a single rental property and need to know how this works to quality-check contractors where needed.
Very nice video with both wood demo joints and a plan view drawing of joint. The Arkansas 24" 2x6 framing project may have originated the 3 stud corner connection circa early '60's. Everything has trade offs and using drywall clips may not really save any money and can seriously complicate finish trim both at the baseboard level and at the crown mold level. There is nothing to support or nail into on the one side. If you use the ladder style put the bottom and top blocks against the plates to provide robust fastening and support. I have used 3/4" material for both types of connections but maybe it is splitting hairs on insulation efficiency. Maybe you have already done a video on blocking but it would be nice to highlight all the areas in a house that will be of higher quality if blocking is installed....bathrooms, kitchens, fancy walking wardrobes, TV walls, vertical wood wall covering areas, wainscoting walls. Some times it is cheaper to just add 1/2" sheathing to entire wall.
Thanks for the sideways stud nailer idea!!! I had always thought that you were supposed to space that out with polystyrene not a stud. But you can save on polystyrene by doing it your way and just fill in with fiberglass
