“Your lame wife sent me” lol. I love you guys and really enjoy watching Today’s Task!!
I hope whoever ends up buying this house finds these videos and sees just how much work Joel put into it. Looking very nice!
Watching Joel cut around the air vent, knowing he is going to have to patch it back up later 😂😂
Joel I’m really enjoying seeing the progression of this house improvement. You have such a nice way of explaining things, I could listen to you talk for hours. Xxxx
I am loving watching your videos! I like learning all about remodeling/building a house. It’s not something I would normally be interested in, but you explain it all so well, and you are doing such an amazing job, that I find myself looking forward to the next video! Keep up the great work. I love watching Bonnie’s channel also, and getting to know your sweet family.😊
Glad to see someone doing it the right way.
Love your videos Joel. As a single mom, I enjoy learning how to do these things myself 👏 Stay well and love you to you and Bonnie 👍❤️
Bonnie sent me here..... after what had happened on the main channel!!!! Love you Bonnie and Joel!!!❤️❤️
It's satisfying to see the progress of your work
Wife and me taking over her grandmother's house, living, dinning and kitchen all floors replaced been watching you for some tips. This my first time. Pray for me!
Joel this is totally your element , you can just tell how much you enjoy this. It is hard work but you can tell you enjoy much more than just being around the house. It is good to see your dad getting involved too! : - )
Nothing more satisfying than this point of the build. All the rough ins and framing. My favourite part!
Old content helping ppl. I love it! Thank you
Looks great Joel! Thanks for sharing your information!
Im not doing any home improvements right now but just wanted to say this is a good idea. I always search youtube for answer when I need help with things like this!
I love todays Task! Great videos and info
This is the best step by step video for installing sub flooring I have found on YT.... Thank You!!!
You're *amazing* wife sent me over. I've enjoyed watching these videos. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
Screws? Much better than having a squeak in a few years!
You would have a heart failure on how my husband and father patched the floor in the nursery. If you would have had this posted 2 weeks ago i could have done it myself lol. I'm learning so much hopefully one day I can put all this information to work.
Love love love these videos Joel keep up the awesome work!
I watched your video first. I’ll go check out the vlog. Joel, I’m impressed by all your hard work. I love seeing your progress!
same but something is telling me that Bonnie is being lame! 🤣🤣🤣
First time watching.
I'm preparing to replace a subfloor and this is by far the best, most informative video I have watched.
Thank you!
I definitely have subscribed to your channel.
Respect on how you clean every single cut and job. I wish my guys did this. They usually take 45 minutes end of the day to clean and sweep up.
Great video brother I’ve personally never done subfloor but I look forward to it now with all the tips thanks
I love your videos. I love learning all the tips and tricks and what the lines mean.
Hi Joel your lame wife sent me 🤣 I am a VERY long time watcher of Bonnie's vlogs, please tell her that she IS NOT A FAILURE! She is a mom, and wife, sometimes we have things slip our minds. Much love from South GA!
Love the part about the green lines!! Whew knew! How about a video about the special features tools have like this?? So helpful! Please tell me y’all are moving with Ellie and Jared! Love y’all together!
Still loved watching bonnies “lame” clip lol I always love watching the vlogs even if it was only 2 minutes hahah ! And I also love coming here to see more of Joel 🙂 have a great weekend Hoellein family
Great job, man. I actually learned some tips by watching this video. You're a solid worker 💪 thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience !
Clever tips! Thank you!
Just a couple of suggestions. The stripes always go on top for both subloors and roof sheathing for three reasons. The first one is the one you showed to assist with nailing. Second is the stripe side is coarse and water resistant which makes it safer to walk on. Third is that smooth side has the engineering stamp which is what the building inspector will be looking for to be sure it meets code for the span.
You also want to install it stripe side up when weather and inspections are not an issue. This is because the sheathing has a cup to it and curls up at the edge. The board is in tension when nailed down this way. It is best to nail from the center to the edge. If you nail it cup side up, the board has to be compressed and the upward tension can cause nails to pop in the middle.. At 6:39 in the video you can see a board with a cup in it that is jammed into the wall and then nailed starting from the other end and going toward the wall. As you nail it toward the wall, the cup is eliminated but the board gets longer and you may eliminate the expansion gap by the time you get to the wall. The same is true when you are butting two pieces of non tongue and groove plywood together.
The bump feature on most nail guns is a nice feature. But there is also a flat tip that is supposed to be used when nailing sheathing so you don't overdrive the nails. This is not usually an issue with a subfoor that is glued and nailed, but it is an issue with roof sheathing. When you overdrive a nail in sheathing, you reduce the holding power of the nail and your 1/2" sheathing is now 7/16" or less and you will fail roof inspections in areas that experience high wind. The claw tip is best for framining when you want to grip a stud for toe nailing and overdriving a nail doesn't matter.
And last, you should always try to butt factory edge to factory edge for the best fit. I start by measuring the room to determine if it is square and where the sheets will fall so I don't end up with a sliver on the end. I snap a chalk line on the side where I want to start. If necessary, start with a cut side against the wall and the factory edge on the chalk line. Contunue to the other side where cut ends will be against the wall.
This information helped me as well. Thanks.
I wasn't sent by your wife who thinks she's lame, but I do enjoy how you actually explain things in easy terms so even those of us who have no idea about any of this actually gets it. Thanks Joel!
After 30 videos this explains everything. Thanks sir
Big fan overall- for the information and the host 😍
Great work, love the details. Appreciate the video, helped me out for sure!
I always watch...u come on at 3:00 and Bonnie at 4:00...U remind me of watching This Old House with my dad when I was younger...he used to say "I hate that guy, he has EVERYTHING" lol.
He has said he loved This Old House when he was growing up! : - )
I figured out that you were putting wood glue down before each sheet was laid. You mentioned it a little later in passing too. Great explanations overall!
Thank you. Great video and tips.
I learn so many things watching these videos that I never knew before. 🤯
What about 1/8" spacing between sheets?
Good job and good job. Good content, get right into the point, nice filming and clear sound. Good luck in UA-cam industry.
Loved the vid!
I love watching the house come together! How did you learn to do everything?
You have m as by talents my friend!!’ Nice work!!
Noice! Gotta say I can't wait to bust into my house and start the expansion of my little bitty master bath can't wait to watch it all come together and the finish product should be orgasmic lol its always super gratifying to see the fruits of our labor!
I love your videos ! Plus I really need to fix the subfloor in my apartment....
Rad channel dude, subscribed! Thanks for the great info amigo
Thank you bro because u shere ur advise to folks that we just stating to learn this interesting job
When you were drawing out where to cut the vent I was thinking Nooooo Joel don't waste your time!! Lol I thought it was fine in the middle of the floor personally
We had a vent in the middle of the floor. It was fine except we had to replace it a little more often than the others because people sometimes hit it with their shoes and bent the corners and the kids always put stuff down it.
This is genuinely fast becoming one of my favourite channels! My only (hopefully constructive) criticism would be can you slow down a bit when you’re explaining stuff? I very much doubt I’ll be laying floors anytime soon 😂 but there was one bit where I had to go back three times to understand what you were doing. It obviously all comes so naturally to you, Joel; you make it look so easy 😊
I love how you do it by yourself that’s how I usually work.
Can't wait till its done
Love your vlogs....
"Your lame wife sent me". Also tell Bonnie not to worry life happens. We love your videos. Whenever you guys get them posted is just fine for us! (Sending you guys hugs from Canada!)
Your amazing, beautiful & hilarious wife sent me! She thinks she’s lame, I think she’s human and also the best 💜
Joel. On your video today in laying subfloors. I am interested in what you put on the joists prior to nailing boards down. It appeared to be foam. I thought that you used liquid nail
Thanks! Great video. What is the gooey stuff used to glue it down? Does that help with decoupling for sound?
I have zero faith that pulte took the time to do anything you did to do a quality job.
Even if your lame wife didn’t send us! We’d still WATCHHHHH! Yeahhh
We love your family❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Joel. Your "lame wife" sent me.😁I actually already watched, but had to come back and comment. Love your videos!😍
Your wife sent me, Joel. Love your videos!!!
Screw the wood down, prevents squeaky floors in the future. Nailing is for basic construction only.
Consider straddling the joist when nailing, with one foot on each side of joist, so your weight is split among both sides. That will pull the board down on top of the joist evenly so it’s less likely to pop up.
Great job…
Good job Joely 😂!
Do you need to leave a gap in between the boards or on the outside edges? Doing a bathroom
I really love watching today’s task Even when your wife forgets to put up a video
What is the foam that you are putting down onto the floor joist stud that you added to the top and what is the reason for it. Thanks! Getting ready to level my floor on my old 1942 home.
Looking good in there! Hey, how often do y'all check your p.o. box? I sent a package to Bonnie. It's a custom trucker hat I got made for her. Want to make sure she got it. My name is Ann. I hope she loves it!❤Could you pls let me know if she did? Thank you!
Bonnie sent us! ps she's NOT lame. We love her!
Is that crawl space conditioned? What is the spray foam doing on the sides considering there is exposed dirt under floor?
What adhesive are you using?
What's is the best wood for subflooring?
How do you lubricate the logs before laying OSB?
Your lame wife sent me 😘❤️ (who else loves Bonnie and Joel?)
“Your lame wife sent me” As much as I’d like a hat $35 which is roughly £30 plus international shipping plus customs and excise costs which can be £20-£30 Its a tad to expensive. But they are nice caps.
Need more videos!
What sealant are you using to stop the squeaks? Also did you use the sealant under the 1x3 shims?
I used liquid Nails under every board, and on top of them for the floor boards.
Hi Joel, your lame wife sent me lol jk I was already a sub! Bonnie is sweet but God give you strength lol I love your beautiful family!
will this method work with plywood?
I watched you before “your lame wife sent me”. Love watching both channels
Which side of the plywood is put down.
Are those 2x3's on top of the joists? Is that a thing? Would be a lot easier to install subfloor like that than hoping you did everything perfect to get only 1/2"-3/4" of space for the subfloor to lay on.
excellent work thanks for sharing your knowledge,
Lol the vent!
Your lame wife sent me !! Aahaahaa! No but really, I am enjoying seeing the progress of the house. You are truly gifted!
Don’t cut the vent out!!!!! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Hello what is that blue thing ur putting?
I'm ready to do a sub floor lol
Me having no idea about construction, but still watching 😂❤
Do you lay the subfloor sheets with the cupped side up or do you find it doesn't matter?
If there is any cupping, you always want it put down. Thanks for the question.
Are you putting foam on the joists before laying the subfloor?
It is a subfloor glue that comes out as a foam and them turns to a jelly like glue after.
Osb instead of plywood?
“Your lame wife sent me” kidding lol I would have watched anyway!!
What type/size nailer would I need to buy to do this?
A framing nailer, but you will want to use flooring nails with it.
Where can you purchase the tung and groove sub flooding?
It is available at Lowes, Home Depot, and all lumber yards.
I wonder how many new tools Joel has purchased for this house project! 🤔
We don't talk about that or I will get caught......
