How to Scab a Floor Joist With Plywood
Plywood is an excellent material that can be used to Scab (not sister) a notched floor joist. In this video i use 1-2 layers of 3/4" plywood with 16D nails applied in a staggered pattern at approx. 6-8" O.C. C

Handsome boy 😅
Thanks Matt. This was very helpful.
Stumbled on your videos and at a perfect time, i went to college for architecture back in 2008 but due to joining the army and being deployed i didn't finish my schooling. Many years later i was just offered a shot at helping a architect friend of mine so i headed straight to youtube for some refreshing. So much new things to learn like revit and the updated autocad , but even the info about reading plans and schedules, notes, abv. , etc has been such a big help. Thank you for your time putting these together ive been binge watching your content and rewatching some with almost all of your videos saved to a playlist to refer back to.
Thank for the advice. My daughter was just thinking about being an architect. So i showed her this so she knows the reality.
Happy to help. I also have a video “top 3 videos to become an architect”. There’s always pros and cons to everything
@@architect_talk i will watch that too. Thank you so much
We are switching BACK to wood, which is a Knee-Jerk reaction to an economic decision which meets the housing need in the short term. However, a well-built brick wall, with the proper sub-structure in place, is much stronger than a wood frame home. Masonry and brick homes are cooler in the summer months and retain heat better in wintertime.
True that. That being said, If you think we’re in an affordability crisis now, imagine if we built our homes with brick again!
How did it turn out? I'm interested in doing this to our ceilings but using Prodex Total Plus as insulation where needed.
Still working on it. I don’t move as quickly as I’d like to since I only have nights and weekends! But I will post an update soon
My only observation here is the Plywood should have been cut the other way (along its length), they way you have cut it you have two strong ply's along the length and three weaker ply's in the vertical position, cutting the other way along the longest area of the ply would give extra percentage of strength overall, not a huge amount but nevertherless it would have made full use of the strength of the plywood. Regarding the debate over screws or nails. The reason for doing this is that there is no flex at all, if there is (or you think there is) then it hasn't been done properly.
difficult to tell which parts of these sheets are made by the architect oNLY and which parts are made by the engineer ONLY im an owner builder trying to make the entire framing roofing foundation siding and MEP all by myself (small home under 1k sqft) i want to hire the engineer for structural integrity and to help me figure out where my nails and screws or lumber types should be so i can not only pass inspections but not have to overbuild and waste money/time BUT i want to do the parts of the plans myself that normally an architect would be doing so i can save money and feel more proud of the home I NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IN PLANS BETWEEN ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER
Thanks for your feedback. The purpose of this video was to provide a “level 1” crash course for reading and understanding these types of drawings. That’s why I cut literal snippets of different conditions. Roughly 80% of these details are architectural, 20% are structural. The architect wants to show the assembly of materials, flashing & waterproofing, insulation, critical dimensions such as overhangs, etc. The structural engineer will call out specific sizes of the framing elements, rebar sizing and spacing, specs for hangers, hardware & connections. As you may know, the architectural details will exist in the “A” sheet series, where structural will be in the “S” sheet series. It’s easier to separate them when viewing a full set of drawings. Hope this helps clarify for now
@@architect_talk wow I had no idea the ratio of plans was so architectural or that everything is labeled with the letters "A" and "S" THANK YOU
That's crazy. There's a water fountain a few minutes away from me that's from the 1500s
Greetings from indonesia🙏
Be patient,man,those who say they're useless are people who cannot appreciate other people's achievements
Crazy nosey neighbors be like that. At least didn’t come out and yell at you 😂
hello thanks for the video, i have a question, how do you know the vertical length from the floor plan known as axonometric drawing?
You can measure via scale, see my earlier video how to use an architect/ engineering scale
The music 🤣🤣🤣
Smh ..I work for rogers and i dislike seeing shut like this

Explain
?????
For real. No explanation or anything
It’s the weird metal cornice at the top.

Could you please provide pdf of this drawing?
For legal purposes I cannot.
Houses in Europe are at least 10 times better quality, more resistant lasting for at least 100-300 years
I was in Riga Latvia in 2010 visiting my wife's family. I was in a 3 story building in the old section of Riga (wood timber and stone-lime concrete) that was 1,000 years old.
@@THOMASMAIKA-j3y many places across Europe are the same with a very strong buildings,,,, English - United Kingdom in general are very similar to usa,,,,,, not a very strong new buildings,,,,,,,,,,,, in London and surrounding areas we can all see a very old buildings /churches /Castles etc,, they are all good staying strong,,, nowadays they build new houses and flats in 2019 and they already have many problems including structural from 2021 onwards,,,,,,,
My house in Mexico had Moroccan architecture passed down from the Spanish over centuries of cultural exchange.
Or you could just.... not bother to draw them like lots of architects I've worked with. If the prints get approved, someone else will have to do his job for him.
what do you do when a 100 yr old brick house has already been stucco’d, and is stucco okay for a brick home?
Stucco on brick is fine. Since they’re both masonry products, they behave the same way with regards to moisture
Really nice footage, since it's very touristy you can't have a good experience Becuase you gotta becareful where you walk. I think having it all empty and filming it you would enjoy it better.
The first❤

Restoration experts and specialists likely…

what application is this?
Revit
Jango is why this got the like...sorry
Very fair
Plywood is actually stronger than dimensional lumber. No such thing as too much construction adhesive; do not use wood glue. The nails are only there till the glue dries. Better to use structural screws than 16d nails, makes it all tighter like plywood but more like a lam beam. GRK screws come in lengths up to 4". I've done this and over-nailed (too many) with 8d ring-shank nails. Keep it all as tight as possible.
Thanks for the feedback ! There’s a lot of conflicting information regarding screws vs nails for these types of repairs. Screws do offer more clamp force but from my research can be prone to breaking or splitting the wood, as opposed to nails which can flex
Structural screws have the same strength as framing nails. As I said, they're only there the glue dries.
They nailed it
Omg I'm studying architecture design right now at my local trade school. You're literally the person I want to be. What did you go to school for/what do you do professionally?
I have a five-year degree in architecture. I’m currently work as a registered architect and a firm working on mixed-use multifamily projects and clubhouses . Thank you for the kind words
sup y'all
Howdy
Looks like most suburbs lol. Nice masonry all along the front and bottom-dollar plastic siding for the back and sides
in this case that blank wall is prob at least 18” of solid masonry
Mhm that property line kills creativity lmao
Personally, I love creative constraints!
@@architect_talk it does give a nice challenge which I like but there's times I'll have a image in my mind and be stoked to put it somewhere other than my head and then the only thing that stops or makes me change it is a damn property or any case a building block on the property and it just kills the whole idea for me so I'ma have to change it, ya I can make a change but it usually kills the original feel I had for it and honestly that's what powers my best work so it is worth just changing the idea too something else I can get into personally but no a challenge of creativity is fun when willing lol sometimes I just want my cool ideas to work lmao
Was probably another taller building there and since thst wall is shared they cant. Duh
What a ridiculous claim !
They did a far better job back in the days at designing and building Those majestic builds were erected in 1 year With horses and carts Now with our revolutionary tech, we take years to build something quite boring to the eyes ...history is a lie Look into melthology It's so worth it There was a reset that they don't talk about not long ago And they erased the Tartarian empire
For what reason did "they" "erase" this Tartarian Empire?
@@MeidoInHebuncapitalism or something idk
Hello Thanks for the video. I have a question how do I post a snap of my plan
Not sure that you can. Feel free to send me an email
Facts
It's been doing my nut in for years. I have renovated 3 properties now where most developers would have raised and rebuilt. It's incredible how many old lovely building are demolished for this modern crap. Wish i had more money to save more buildings
Get a husband and make a plan.
Unify the aesthetic? No... I guess not... They will not will they?
Why wouldn’t they ?
@@architect_talk what do you mean by unify the aesthetic? Make all stones look same color? Now you can clearly see what Gaudi did and what the modern interpretation is.
For being a architect you have difficult time stating that the sheeting on the outter walls is shear strength.
In my videos I’m mainly talking to non-architects and like to simplify things
Yeah
Yes.

It really is that simple
My question is why the hell are you still using stucco? It is an age old substance that we have been putting on houses for years. It looks ugly as hell and it just doesn’t last go with traditional siding. Our house has had siding on it for almost 20 upwards of 30 years And it’s still going since the day that we put it in but on the other hand, I have a buddy that he has a house that was built 30 years ago and has stucco and he’s constantly always sweeping up the front driveway in the front porch because the shit just falls off the wallsdoesn’t matter if you bump it or anything, it just crumbles those reasons why traditional siding I know that there’s going to be contractors out there that would disagree to the moon and back, but I’m just going by from what I’ve seen and what I’ve been told
Homeowners and contractors like to cover original brick facades to avoid having to repoint I guess. Idk
I would be blaming the flat roof as well. If you look there's a lot of rotten wood around the roof drain on the wall.
Contractors in Australia, like sparkys and plumbers, need to be licenced.
I've built several houses in my day and its scary how many people are doing absolutely crap work, and getting away with it..
Especially in Philly
is rendering dead bc of AI? in the sense that that skill is going to be decimated with AI tools so you don't need as many people doing it
Not yet. I think for most projects you will still need a designer to “translate” from client vision to build able project
Ah yes, lets just do away with profit, forget the money people need to to live, lets make them work for the sake of making something cool, never mind their starving family and cardboard box house. You are now the record holder of the dumbest argument that has ever left a human brain.
