Young guys like to move fast, wait until 20 years from now, I started 40 years ago when everything was nailed with a hammer, now I am shot! Good thing I am retired
Shit, I'm only 30 and my body's already fucked from building houses & doing roofs since I was young. Mostly doing roofs that's screwed my knees & back but, I definitely feel it when I'm just framing or sheathing simple stuff like walls.
Pretty much any trade will wear you out if not done ergenomically (not always a choice). Many parts of my young days i wish i would have done smarter. Not worried about the .. Just get it done. I have all kinds of random problems these days.
I thought that was a full sized nailer at first was gonna say your forarms must be jacked haha nice job i staple at the same speed and angle it like you i know alot of people dont even angle the staple guns were they join and usually only have half the staples go threw.

You watch too much news....go out and see for yourself, everybody's out here working. Just because someone's not on a roof or building houses doesn't mean they arent working.
Try putting a small weight on your rope and hose to keep it under the smallest amount of tension. It keeps that stuff out of the way. That’s why climbers tie their excess rope in a ball.
@@framingbeast720 Yeah a stopper knot is a must. If you add some weight to your line the rope grab will work smoother too. Last thing, if a less fiddly rope grab is worth 200 bucks to you check out the Petzl ASAP Lock. The rope access equipment and harnesses are just so much better than the fall protection in a box. The stuff actually works like you think it should. Anyways love your vids and I get a lot of inspiration from them.

It’s ok working at heights like that on an icy day but, when you sit back and actually think about what you are doing, reality dawns. I worked over there over thirty years ago also doing framing and remember one of the team telling me he was still paying off the $20,000 hospital bill when he fell off a roof and broke his leg. These days you could multiply this figure by at least 5x to get it to todays prices. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the work over there. I learnt a lot but went back to the UK as work was easier and of course- less risky. I never had the money while I was there for medical insurance but I certainly hope you have. Well done - good video.😊
no wonder every time I go drop off the drills my apprentice break at the repair center there are carpenters nailer and stapler pilled up every where you guys use them as a hammer LOL.
Framing beast is the right name for you ! Damn.....Nice Boots...LOL I had a friend years ago who was a framer and when I asked him what he did for a living he said he was a "Wood Butcher" !
Man I just hate having to repair bad ply wood decking that has been stapled. If people would learn how to install shingles it wouldn’t be a problem....but I know it will always be a problem
To the OP, framing beast is also confident because he is smart and ropes up. Taking the one anxiety away from your mind by knowing for a fact you won't hit the ground is a game changer. I wish the company I worked for actually believed in using harnesses and fall arrest. It's the wiser way to work.
here in California..that would be 3/4" plywood and the pitch would be at least a 7or a 8 /12 pitch for the snowload.....I just finished one in Big Bear ,Calif.....3/4 " ply..and a 12/12 pitch .... the wrap around patio with 3 layers ..5/8" t111 .5/8"drywall, 5/8"osb for fire protection...
Calif is out of control. Every year the engineering gets worse. Wait till next year after the fires and they add even more. Almost better to build a house out of concrete and steel rafters. The sprinkler systems are very expensive and mandatory. I dont know how anyone can afford to build in calif anymore. The cost of the house build /lot has to be way more than the mkt value when completed.
I had a 70 year old jackass foreman tell me I should be using my old 22oz waffle Estwing and not that new fancy hammer I bought. Glad to see a pro using the same one I upgraded to.
Being afraid of heights I find these videos scarier than any horror flick. I wish I could get over that fear, but pretty sure it’s too late for me. Great work though.
I worked with a framing crew for a summer when I was 19. Found it wasn't for me, so I switched to finish carpentry. Currently riding a desk as an engineer and miss working with my hands...remodeling my house makes me consider returning to the trade.
Hawaii here, never seen that gun used for sheathing, we use 8s with hurricane clips. What nails are you using? Maybe it’s code for us to use 8s because of high winds with hurricanes and tropical storms 🤔 all in all great job! Fast paced work is always better then slow paced. When you go fast and deliver quality the day goes by quick and you can have a beer with no fucks giving cause you know you killed it! 🤙🏽🌴🤙🏽🌴
Weird. I just bot 3/4 doug fir plywood for 32 a sheet. 5/8 OSB was just under 40. Bot 7/16 osb between 14 and 15 a sheet a couple weeks ago and looks like it is heading back up.
Hey bro I’m an apprentice plumber in California and I swear every-time I watch your videos my palms get sweaty. Idk how carpenters do it everyday standing on a side of a building.
Lol I think its fun myself.. Thats what got me into carpentry & roofing. It's definitely sketchy as hell sometimes lol. Especially if you aren't tied off. Which allot of times I don't as long as im comfortable walking it..
I'm exhausted watching this. 6x credit to you man. Do roofers have a unwritten expectation that they are only going to be able to do this at that high level of performance for x years?
I'm not sure, but I think everyone's different. So.e old.guys can smoke much younger able guys. I think it comes down to how familiar you are and overall comfort level
Can't believe you're up there with no scaffold or safety rail. Over here in Australia we can't even stand trusses on an 8 foot high house frame, have to erect them from a ladder. Heavy safety restrictions here, ok didn't see your safety lanyard
How do you know your trusses are on center without layout marked? Also without layout on the sheets, how do you know you are hitting the truss with the staples? Pretty cool.
You can usually tell by sighting the length of the truss. Most of the time if there’s no visible bow then it’s fine. Also there’s a little bit more recoil when you’re hitting the wood underneath the sheet when you hit it compared to when you miss. Just keep shooting a little to the left or right if you miss the first time until you find it and go straight up or down from there
I believe they are Dakota high tops with tarantula grip from Mark's work warehouse. That's where I get my'n and they look the exact same from what I can see.
@@NickOvchinnikov do you see how his sheet is splitting at the bottom of the truss at 2:46 the guy is a good framer. I get it is a subdivision job so speed is priority over quality.

Yes you can feel it the trick is finding a guy who actually cares. 👌

Flat bottom soles are definitely where it’s at! In Florida steel toe boots on the ground but you can wear sneakers on a roof
No better than anyone who knows what's up out there
like the flow you got going on, seems like you got yourself a decent helper also
We aren't allowed to staple sheathing here.
Sheets are upside down. Stamp goes facing inward
Gotta love H clips
wow bro youre such a hard worker what a hero
Thankyou
How many did u miss in a sheet of ply...should show or tell us.you don't get quality with speed

that would be fun to see! however, I have seen him beat a team of 2, alone. :)

Mo 8s here
He’s actually using staples
Are staples better for sheeting or are nails. I see you using staples but I've seen nails also is it what your given or do you have a preference
Its fast food of house building to use staples. They dont care if the roof separates in 15 years. Tear it down and build new.
Bruh what shoes are thoseeee??
That nail reload = 🧈
Idk how he moves like that and doesn’t get hung up with the harness. Bravo

We such a roof is 2 to 3 days incl insulation. I mentioned hinge covers before. Can be a good industry out there
Staples to hold your sheet? Where you located
Bro thats what im saying thats wack
Staples grab better than nails
In central mass we use 8 penny ring shank with factory adhesive on the first 1/3 of the nail. Once it cures you better hope your courses are on point.

None. I'm serious...when I'm done my roofs I do a thorough walk over the entire roof for any high staple or any areas where I could add more.
