I love this. I'm not a builder by any means but I've done a bunch of kitchens and bathrooms (all my own). Hitting that stud with a cabinet has always been a big pain in the back side (for me anyway). I'm about to do my basement with an entertainment center and wet bar- I'll be blocking both walls. A few extra bucks on the front end, a lot of time and aggravation saved on the back end. worth every penny.
Absolutely! It makes everything easier to install and stronger, leading to a higher quality, more durable structure. I’d be interested in your strategy to prevent trades from penetrating plumbing, conductors, ductwork, or refrigerant lines. I’ve had all happen to me.
We have regular inspections for our subs. However we also have regular conversations about length of fasteners. You would be surprised how often the simple question of how long of screw you are planning using prevents accedents from happening.
Hi Jake . Can you make some videos about flat roof framing and insulating . Is hard to find good educational videos about it Please and thank you for what you do .
Holy Moly........I love it!!! And double studs everywhere. 24" o.c. walls sucks. Old school is most cool......16" o.c. Framing correctly is critical. Thanks
Good vid on blocking. I never thought about just using subfloor to buy "some insurance on future decisions" :-) Curious - do you use an app or organize all your photos before covering up with drywall?
We did on another wall. This material was leftover and made good sense to not loose the 3/4” in this cabinet inset. Our countertops would have been proud of the outside corner on the right.
Is that 1 1/8" Advantech on that wall? How flat will that be for the sheetrockers? Would you get less warping with that than if you used 1 1/8" Plywood instead?
It is 3/4. 1 1/8” is special order in our market. We wouldnt use it for something like blocking. I doubt the material would flatten the wall either. Maybe a little. Framing flat beforehand would be better.
Half the battle of a cabinet install is figuring out if it's going to fall off the wall later. With every sub just doing his own thing, it's easy to lose the continuity of process that makes for a good build.
@@jake.bruton.aarow.building I’m mostly kidding (and playing off of the classic “bitcoin catchphrase”). But what I was referencing is when 2x6 girts are nailed out across the posts to be able to hang interior drywall, it doubles as blocking for cabinets etc. There are obviously some limitations to that as well, either way works just fine. I’m not a big time builder or anything, just a guy who has a small business and learns as much as I can along the way. I just find post frame building to be a fascinating and efficient way to build a home. I’ve especially wanted to figure out a way to incorporate it with your “slabless slab” technique that you used on a house a few years ago. Love your work, thanks for the reply.
I don't know why it's a pet peeve of mine that people say height with a "th" sound at the end. it's not even the order the letters are in to create that sound. Just because width is "th" doesn't mean the other dimension is also 😅
This video is actually two years old, we republish here from Build Show. Until this video, I didnt know I was doing it. Someone pointed it out. I hate the way I sounded in this one. Had no idea I was saying it wrong my entire life, no one ever pointed it out or corrected me. So embarrassing.

Very Smart!

We use a company dropbox and JobTread to organize things. We are also exploring QR codes for tracking things like this.
Terrific way to go
Why not just add a whole 4x8 sheet of 3/4” plywood?

Do you prefer to add the blocking before or after the pipe and wiring is run?
I like blocking prior to pipes when possible but either way can work.

Hahahah I would just cover that whole wall in Plywood or sheathing, way easier. Especially with scraps
If we covered our countertops would have been proud of the wall behind me in the video, otherwise that would have been the much easier way to go.
Post frame fixes this :)
Post frame fixes what?
