I didn't think I'd legitimately be happy to see a frame go up for any house/garage.. but here we are. You guys are killing it and we are all rooting for you! 🎆
When framing for a door way on your plate, turn the plate over, make a saw cut about 1/2 way through the side going down on the concrete. When your ready to finally cut the plate out , your blade wouldn't be hitting concrete.
so you use a oscillating multi-tool to finish off the doorway opening after the wall is secured in place? why not use the oscillating multi-tool from beginning to end?
Sawzall doesn't keep it pretty clean? I've done some precision work with one....also poked through a wall on accident removing and replacing a stud in my bathroom.
As far as bug control goes, one tip I've heard was once you get the shell sufficiently dried in, and before sheet rock, sprinkle in the wall cavities some boric acid, and diatomaceous earth. The boric acid will get the roaches, the diatomaceous earth will get fleas.
Excellent foresight. I love diatomaceous earth and boric acid . . . I use it all the time. When I was 6 years old, my dad was transferred to Texas and he had a new home built for our family. I remember before the slab was poured they put some sort of treatment on the dirt/sand. They said it was to keep the scorpions away (this was central Texas.) I can't remember what it was but it is probably illegal now, lol.
Awesome stuff... Apprentice carpenter here, I appreciate how much you're teaching me in your videos. There's been a few times I was asked to do something on the job and I knew how to because of you're channel. Keep up the good stuff!
You guys wouldn't believe the smile on my face! 😅 - I truly am happy and pumped for you all. It's been a long journey but now the train is getting up to speed!! 🥳
After years of watching Studpack, this video ranks #1 for pucker-factor! Great job guys. Rad has earned a free inversion table after watching that last wall lift.
It’s so cool to see how your dad has progressed in front of the camera from the where you guys started! He nailed that outro. I bet it was the first try as well!
That first nail shot with the compressor off sums up this project’s struggles perfectly! Glad to see framing happening. Square up the walls and add temporary cross bracing before the lift to help plumb everything a little easier.
Hell yeah, brothers! Nice job! Adding the Zip inside the rough openings is a great touch! Not only will that give you excellent weatherproofing, it also gives a great bite for the door frames. That's a full 3.5 inches to grab hold with fasteners. Sashco has really been a gamechanger for those that know! IYKYK!!! Lexel, Big Stretch, More-Flex, CleanSeal, ExactColor, Through-the-roof... best caulks and sealants out there in my opinion. While it's probably too late now, next time your setting a wall on anchors, throw some cutoffs under the bottom plate against the anchors. That will help prevent the bottom plate from bending the anchors as you rotate the wall into position.
Suggestion for closing that notch cut for the standing pipe: get an offcut & drill a hole the size to fit the pipe, then trim the edges of the board to fit in the notch. That should create the "missing" piece of the board you would have had if you'd cut a round hole for the pipe.
Glad y’all are going upwards with this build. Tip for yas. Set the sill plates on top of the sill bolts and hit the top of the sill boards with a hammer to exactly mark the sill bolt locations.
I use straight as possible sill boards then simply put my speed square at the chalk line and bump the board to the square. One person at each end with a square. Then hit the top of the sill board to mark exact sill bolt locations
Awesome. BTDT working with City/County and I know your pain and now excitement. My wife and I just finished framing and we used a "Wall Lift" to eliminate hiring a full crew to make and raise our 2x6x 10' walls. Go Studpack! Definately make a jig to lay out those bolt holes. :) Building anything? There is no such thing as overkill.
Great video. Happy to see you guys finally on to building. I appreciate that you show the real process - too many UA-camrs edit out all their mistakes an hiccups, and also have a million dollars worth of tools. I sometimes watch those videos, but I don't learn anything from them. I never miss one of yours. Thanks.
Hey Guys, One real important suggestion - Once your framing is done and the roof on, have the lower level frame walls sprayed with termite treatment. Will never wash away, and you have a lifetime treatment - I've done it with 3 houses so far and none of the houses have ever had any termite problems here in southern Louisiana -
I just passed final inspection on my rec-room to one bedroom apartment conversion above my garage today. It took me 13 mo with some trying times (rotator cuff repair). I am so Happy. Time for me to sit , watch and enjoy your adventure. Kind regards guys
One of my first full time jobs was working at a lumber yard. This was in 1979 through 1985. The yard I worked at didn't have a forklift that I could use for deliveries. I used to make most of the deliveries at this yard, and I can tell you that we were busy. I used to build all the framing packages for new home builds. It was a lot of hard work but it was mostly a fun job.
For the plumbing cutout, you could glass that in with epoxy and fiberglass to keep the bugs out. Then be sure to cover the area outside with some 4x4 metal plates or width side 2x4 to keep those siding/zip guys from nailing into your stack.
Great job guys! Really nice to see the attention to detail. I suggest building that front wall in place. Put up the few studs at either end, then rig something up to help lift and support that huge beam
So pumped to see the walls go up! I am so excited for you all. This has been an epic journey with you all. I definitely came for the ultimate extension cord but I have stayed for everything that followed. Thank you all so so so much.
I am probably too late, but when anchor bolts are already in, I have always laid several two bys in place perpendicular to the wall to hold the wall up above the bolts while raising. Then start at one end removing and lowering. But in your case with the sealant in place maybe not. I also attach a brace on the outside stud that extends out in the direction of the top so it helps hold as you go up. Kind of like your kick stand pieces, but in the other direction. It will be helpful on the second story walls too. Once you get the wall up, you nail the bottom to the rim joist. Then it is there to help keep the adjacent wall from getting away.
I’m so happy for you guys finally getting the build started. Gonna watch every episode twice. Great that you hooked up with Sashco Ada a sponsor. Their products cost a little more but well worth the price because they’re so outstanding! Be safe and have fun with the build.
I am super grateful for all the work you do showing us your planning and preparation process, marking exactly where each stud and what kind of stud goes where and thinking about things like insulation space and sheathing! It's not the "fun" part of building, but it is arguably the most important part of making sure it's done right!
This is honestly awesome to watch people who don't do this all day everyday for a living. Super cool! Keep it up you guys. Make sure to square your walls. String it end to end. Square your corners.. Also just as a tip black chalk is way better for framing in my experience.. as you can make your holes for your foundation tie ins a bit bigger.
Great start! I would have put down a couple of inches of gravel before the lumber arrived, you are going to be fighting mud every time it rains. Can't wait to see the next video.❤
I could feel Jordan's excitement talking about how it doesn't seem real and that this day is like a dream after everything he's had to deal with to get to this point. I'm right there with you and feel the same way after having been along for the ride.
You and the audience (us) waited so long for this video the like button is not big enough to smash. I feel so invested in the project it was truly satisfying to see. I cannot believe you are a rookie at framing as you had some really great ideas and forsight before putting the walls up. Rally looking forward to the next set of videos!
Bora care to spray all wood for termites, and you can use boric acid and such inside the wall cavities... but for a more severe spray, Talstar P . Mix 2 ounces for 1 gallon and you will kill for about 90 days (depending on weather). FYI, it is deadly for insects due to the pyrethroid but once it dries, it is safe for humans and pets.
Well done guys! I've spent the last 10 years doing a remodel on my house by myself and I know how excited and proud you must be to have hit this milestone. Thanks for sharing this with all of us! 🎉
Teaching us how build and remodel is absolutely amazing. But you've gone further and exemplified, patience, tolerance and endurance through the challenges. That is so beneficial, I'm gonna go buy a StudPack hat to support you.
Every step of the way it gets more exciting! Wonderful job, everyone! Thanks so much for sharing all of this. The house warming party is going to be huge!
We hear ya and we almost went down the crushed concrete road because we agree! The mud sucks. But we’ve been told by multiple people that it’s just a waste of money right now. It would cost too much for the little benefit it would bring right now. Too many deliveries. Too much water etc. we hear ya though.
Thank you Matt and Brian at Builders 1st Source. The guys at Stud Pack have been through so much nonsense with this build. It's nice to see something go smoothly for them.🙂
I don't know about anyone else.. But I started screaming at that first wall vertical!! Congrats guys! It has been a long ordeal but you have overcome!! Thank you for taking us with you on this journey!
Man, I didn't want the video to end! So excited to see the progress. Can't wait for the Matt Risinger collab! 2 of my fave channels right now! Keep it up fellas!
It's great to see that you have started framing out the garage and 1st floor flat! (Here in UK 🇬🇧 the garage is ground floor and above is the 1st floor) I wish I lived in the US as I'd be there like a shot helping out with making hot and cold drinks and doing some amazing food as well as helping on the framing etc! Keep going guys not long to go 💪
Studpack is my favorite channel. Enjoy Paul and the boy’s working together. Setting a good example for your almost half a million viewers and the younger Studpacks.
hey, nice to see progress!!! SUGGESTION: for the second floor, look into Advanced Framing Technique: minimizes the amount of wood (less cost and more insulation). Basically it is 24" on-center studs with the roof framing stacked directly over the studs, which then also allows for a single top-plate.
Great video overall! When the first wall went up I was cringing when the big hammer was used to knock the bottom plate sideways waiting for bolts to bend, but then it dropped on so ok... Third wall with the extra weight of the beam, not so much... 😀 One little framing tip at the exterior corners, you explained why you added a flat stud to make an L for sheetrock backing, but depending on exterior siding you may want more backing at the outside corners (you have 1-1/2" one direction and 7" the other direction) so you can add another flat at the outside to turn that L into a C or U (have heard it called both) and still access the inside of the corner for insulating. Good work! 👍
I love Lexal sealant and use it all the time. I always tell people to use it. It is great around the house and is paintable. I am glad to see you using it to seal the sill plates. When cutting the pressure treated wood, I would seal the cut ends with the copper naphthenate. Untreated end cut seems to be always the point where the carpenter ants start, in my experience, now I treat the ends and sometimes the entire board again.
Having worked in wood treating - it was always recommended to hand treat any cut or bored surface as the original treatment penetrates the surface and ends at an established retention which is not uniform due to varying wood density - the chemical used does NOT penetrate through the whole board/timber - LOOK at the cut and notice the color difference.
Very good work and I’m very happy to see you framing after all the ugly turmoil this project has sent you. Still with the slimy mud at lumber delivery time! That’s never going away. Thanks guys! All 3 of you
A new episode already?! My gosh! Not gonna lie got a little emotional seeing you get that first shipment of wood. I'm so freaking happy for you guys! Damn those are tall walls! Keep up the good work!
0:48 love seeing other creators I follow come together like celeb sightings! Feel similar when Steve Ramsey interviews for his podcast. Grats on the progress!
The one thing you might not have given much thought to is to attach your bottom plate to the concrete first, then use an untreated buckled stud as a second bottom plate to tack into your bottom plate. This makes it easier to get level walls where cupping in the concrete happens, and sheet rocking laying is a breeze. I don't know why I hardly ever see double bottom plates put in anymore. it's where you can use twisted studs, because the weight at every 16" on center will force the stud to lie down straight. You don't have to line up seams and corners are lapped like a mitered box.
Living the dream--building the dream! So happy for you to finally be able to frame. For those of us in the audience that have now "aged out," or financially "tapped out," we will never get to build the houses we dreamed of--but watching you 3 nail it, is very gratifying and I fantasize that this is how I would have done it. I've said it before, the relationship between Paul and Jordan is great and the other reason I keep coming back. I'm looking forward to see how that I beam gets placed. Be careful and watch your lifting techniques.
I can feel the frustration guys. Not turning on the compressor. Little hiccups here and there. Paul. You are a pro. Get past the stress of the paperwork and challenges that you’ve already conquered. Have fun. I can see you are excited to have the bags on. Appreciate the couple years you been putting the work in on the videos Jordan. I also appreciate the chances you guys are taking. It is truly fascinating. 16:36
Thats a really good idea to wrap the zip sheathing into the door ways. Ive never seen anyone do that but that seems like it shouldn't be done any other way
After persevering with you through all those foundation hurdles it's awesome to see you get the structure started! Stay safe & hydrated in that extreme Texas heat
Looking forward to seeing you guys on the build show with Matt. Been watching your channel since around 40k subs and your growth these last couple years is well deserved. Keep it up the great work!
matt resigner typically does the zip black goop stuff around all the edges between the pad and wood. Looks like it works well, also he should come out and do an episode with you!
This is so amazing to watch. Where I live if we are building on a concrete slab we do things a bit differently. Not only in how we d the slab but also the framing. What I learned and all our teachers preached was to never use treated wood in the house, not in the frames or anything else. It's only to be use outside for like deckings or fences, places that are going to be exposed to direct moisture. What we do is use and asphalt sill band and not that fome you guys have, It is really interesting to see how other parts of the world build houses. Also would be fun to see BearHug Merch.
Good progress guys. You know I gotta say keep on ignoring the mud/drainage problem...it's going to bite you. Might want to consider renting a large party tent to cover your lumber. First good rain and you'll wish you had. Keep up the good work.
We’re not ignoring it. We’ve inquired about it and it’s just not time for drains yet. Trust us we’re VERY excited to install those and landscape the property.
@@erwinmartinez5293 a party tent has a sloping roof to direct water away from the lumber, and you can get them big enough to cover the whole lumber pile. My issue is 4 trip trips with a forklift and he's getting stuck in the mud. They need to do something with that, or the next good rain they won't be able to get to the muddy lumber.
It’s obvious that Paul is the only one serious about this garage build. He’s the only one with a full tool belt. The other two are just there for moral support! 😂 Happy to see the framing finally going up!
Seems like you were too late gravel you delivery / vehicle access. The neighbours and city won't be too happy with you filling the street and drains with silt. Double shot, I appreciate that you show your the oppsies. Good for others to learn from and we ain't perfect.
I didn't think I'd legitimately be happy to see a frame go up for any house/garage.. but here we are. You guys are killing it and we are all rooting for you! 🎆
When framing for a door way on your plate, turn the plate over, make a saw cut about 1/2 way through the side going down on the concrete. When your ready to finally cut the plate out , your blade wouldn't be hitting concrete.
Yup, I do that all the time. I leave a bout ¼".
so you use a oscillating multi-tool to finish off the doorway opening after the wall is secured in place? why not use the oscillating multi-tool from beginning to end?
Sawzall doesn't keep it pretty clean? I've done some precision work with one....also poked through a wall on accident removing and replacing a stud in my bathroom.
@@cyclopsvision6370 Only problem is that the blade might still come in contact with the concrete and most framers don't carry oscillating tools
Brilliant
As far as bug control goes, one tip I've heard was once you get the shell sufficiently dried in, and before sheet rock, sprinkle in the wall cavities some boric acid, and diatomaceous earth. The boric acid will get the roaches, the diatomaceous earth will get fleas.
And spiders. D-Earth takes care of them too. Both are not harmful to people like some other pesticides.
Excellent foresight. I love diatomaceous earth and boric acid . . . I use it all the time. When I was 6 years old, my dad was transferred to Texas and he had a new home built for our family. I remember before the slab was poured they put some sort of treatment on the dirt/sand. They said it was to keep the scorpions away (this was central Texas.) I can't remember what it was but it is probably illegal now, lol.
Hitting exposed wood with a Blowtorch to carbonize the top layer helps with bugs also. Another old timey remedy is to brush on some tar also.
Morton's salt will get the slugs.
@@proffd972 As long as you get "food grade" d-earth. That stuff is magic.

How do you make sure your sill plate is lined up with your chalk lines? Seems prone to error
We almost did this! We thought there was a little too much room for error, and measuring didn’t allow that error.
I use straight as possible sill boards then simply put my speed square at the chalk line and bump the board to the square. One person at each end with a square. Then hit the top of the sill board to mark exact sill bolt locations

Nice delivery. Mine was slid off a long tilt-bed...truck backed up, dumped, drove away. Took about 5 minutes total. Had to unstack it all by hand.
Rain, mud, bureaucracy, inspectors, etc. You guys hung in there. Great to see those wall frames going up. Congratulations.

Pro tip, get some crushed concrete or gravel and build a driveway into the garage.
Absolutley, it'll keep the place clean and will be part of the sub base for driveway.
Put down filter fabric first so the gravel doesnt just sink in.
That's not a pro tip. It's an obvious thing.
We hear ya and we almost went down the crushed concrete road because we agree! The mud sucks.
But we’ve been told by multiple people that it’s just a waste of money right now. It would cost too much for the little benefit it would bring right now. Too many deliveries. Too much water etc. we hear ya though.
Or just place some plywood down. Done.

I don't know why I hardly ever see double bottom plates put in anymore. it's where you can use twisted studs, because the weight at every 16" on center will force the stud to lie down straight. You don't have to line up seams and corners are lapped like a mitered box.
I enjoyed this one. Glad you’re beyond the concrete portion
Can’t wait to see Stud Pack team up with Matt and the Build Show!!! It’s gonna be epic!
Living the dream--building the dream! So happy for you to finally be able to frame. For those of us in the audience that have now "aged out," or financially "tapped out," we will never get to build the houses we dreamed of--but watching you 3 nail it, is very gratifying and I fantasize that this is how I would have done it.
I've said it before, the relationship between Paul and Jordan is great and the other reason I keep coming back.
I'm looking forward to see how that I beam gets placed. Be careful and watch your lifting techniques.
Wow, it's really been six months already? Don't worry boys, you've had us captivated the whole time! Love your work!
28:40 this camera shot here is so inspiring, it is finally becoming a structure, and that is awesome
The studs have landed 🎉
I can feel the frustration guys. Not turning on the compressor. Little hiccups here and there. Paul. You are a pro. Get past the stress of the paperwork and challenges that you’ve already conquered. Have fun. I can see you are excited to have the bags on. Appreciate the couple years you been putting the work in on the videos Jordan. I also appreciate the chances you guys are taking. It is truly fascinating. 16:36
Thats a really good idea to wrap the zip sheathing into the door ways. Ive never seen anyone do that but that seems like it shouldn't be done any other way
Congratulations on the first walls! Great to see it really coming together!
After persevering with you through all those foundation hurdles it's awesome to see you get the structure started! Stay safe & hydrated in that extreme Texas heat
Great work Stud Pack! Looking forward to the next one. Closing in on that 500K subscribers, as well. Share this channel with friends everyone!
I was just about to go to sleep and then suddenly a wild Stud Pack video appeared!
its coming together fast now!! looks incredible
Collab with Matt! OMG you two channels have kicked my home remodeling into high gear and taught me so many great things!
Cheered when you all stood up that wall!!!!
Wonder why you did not use I joist for the floor?
I'm sure the neighbors love you right now 😂😂Keep it pushing and don't forget to bring them a treat now and then to keep them happy.
My question is what is the easement between the house and the property line? Is there any?
i'm freaking pumped! and i wish i lived closer... or could get time off... i would totally help... i love building stuff. it's so satisfying!
I forgot to turn on my air compressor so I had to smash that like button twice 🙃
Looking forward to seeing you guys on the build show with Matt. Been watching your channel since around 40k subs and your growth these last couple years is well deserved. Keep it up the great work!
should have temporarily screwed some studs over the big door opening, would have given the middle guy something to push on during the lift
Why is it so exciting to see this build? Not sure but you guys make it that way! Great work again team!!
matt resigner typically does the zip black goop stuff around all the edges between the pad and wood. Looks like it works well, also he should come out and do an episode with you!
This is so amazing to watch. Where I live if we are building on a concrete slab we do things a bit differently. Not only in how we d the slab but also the framing. What I learned and all our teachers preached was to never use treated wood in the house, not in the frames or anything else. It's only to be use outside for like deckings or fences, places that are going to be exposed to direct moisture. What we do is use and asphalt sill band and not that fome you guys have, It is really interesting to see how other parts of the world build houses.
Also would be fun to see BearHug Merch.
Good progress guys. You know I gotta say keep on ignoring the mud/drainage problem...it's going to bite you.
Might want to consider renting a large party tent to cover your lumber. First good rain and you'll wish you had.
Keep up the good work.
Party tent? Why some cheap plastic will do the same thing
We’re not ignoring it. We’ve inquired about it and it’s just not time for drains yet. Trust us we’re VERY excited to install those and landscape the property.
Looking good guys! Those walls are super heavy.
@@erwinmartinez5293 a party tent has a sloping roof to direct water away from the lumber, and you can get them big enough to cover the whole lumber pile. My issue is 4 trip trips with a forklift and he's getting stuck in the mud. They need to do something with that, or the next good rain they won't be able to get to the muddy lumber.
@@StudPack Just trying to help y'all...
I think Jordan is more pumped then ever. Finally gets to see his house start to take shape. Great video to all of you. Stay cool there in Texas . 😅
It’s obvious that Paul is the only one serious about this garage build. He’s the only one with a full tool belt. The other two are just there for moral support! 😂
Happy to see the framing finally going up!
You can't pass down 30 years of knowledge in 1 week, sometimes, you need to learn by doing
Amazing work guys, so happy for you that everything is finally coming together.
Seems like you were too late gravel you delivery / vehicle access. The neighbours and city won't be too happy with you filling the street and drains with silt.
Double shot,
I appreciate that you show your the oppsies. Good for others to learn from and we ain't perfect.
Fantastic that you are working with Matt Reisinger, he's a master and I'm stoked that there is a collaboration going!
Let the hammers hit the floor. Huge shoutout to Matt and Brian (delivery truck)for making this building possible
Nice to see some upward progress after what you all went through with the slab. Great job
Jodan, get you a some diatomaceous earth for in your house. You'll slowly start to see the bug population decrease.
Great start. Going through the PT sill plate with cement coated and not galvanized …
