Thanks for showing the t stud corners. I had been looking for a better way to thermal break timber frame corner post. And t studs would allow corner post to dry out better.
I’m curious about your comment that triple glazing will save money. Have you actually done the energy analysis (e.g. Schedule J calc) to calculate the difference between double and triple glazing in this location? Most every cost analysis I’ve seen for U.S. locations that are not extremely cold indicate that it would take decades to make up the cost difference between a double and triple glazed window through energy savings. The orientation of the windows makes way more difference than that extra layer of insulated glazing from what I understand. There are probably other good reasons to go with those nice European triple-glazed windows if budget isn’t your primary concern, but cost savings based on energy efficiency is not a compelling argument based on analyses I’ve seen. What’s your experience based on the calcs? And thanks for the videos 😊.
OK, insulating against heat (summer) requires the same measures as insulating against cold (winter), but in summer time electric energy is cheaper then in winter time due to the rise of solar systems. If electricity is not yet cheaper in summer time, it will become cheaper the next 5 years... look at Europe... it's even negative priced at some moments... Don't forget that Poly Iso has no thermal mass or thermal inertia (just like all other plastic insulating materials) so the insulating material itself will become warm and will loose it's insulating properties... wood fibre performes much better in this case. Add to the mix the louzy properties of plastic insulating materials regarding accoustic insulation and the release of toxic smaoke in case of a fire, these materials should be last on your list.
Couple of typos on your over titles: RAISED HEEK TRUSSES (3:35) was obviously meant to be RAISED HEEL TRUSSES and STAT TUNED FOR VIDEO 2 (8:42) should be STAY TUNED. Doesn’t bother me or otherwise affect the informative content of the video; just letting you know in case you want to be more careful in the future to stay ahead of the trolls 😂.
Masterclass! And… Cheers to the homeowner!
THank you
Building site is super clean, too. Must be a top notch builder.
Nixon Homes is doing a wonderful job
Interesting clip detail on the window installation.

6:23 165lbs Frame. We love you Steve.
Thanks for joining in
2:48 Jake Bruton would say Missouri Corner
Actually I coined the term on our Hilltop Aarow project
My old boss use to say "it's the details, dumb!@#".
Yes!!
Like the T studs! Is there a way to make a thermal break between the top plate and the truss to help prevent ghosting on interior drywall?

What is the purpose of the horizontal blocking in the upper wall? Is it for nailing the sheathing or a fire block?
Sheathing Blocker
2’ centers with 5/8” rock for flatter wall too . What about fire blocking and stops with the T studs?
True, love the idea of the studs but how in the world are fire stops installed? Maybe blocks foamed on the ends? I dunno, just guessing.
I tell my wife all the time I only have 165 pound frame too!
It works, we'll run with it
165, 265 what’s the difference? 😁
Bit of a shame after using the T-studs for the vertical members, to nog between them with solid timber. That's a bridge, right there.

typo in the headings on screen for the "raised heek truss"
Since you are living the attic hot, the roof is lacking a lair of foil
Did you mean to put "STAT TUNED FOR VIDEO 2 OF 4 TOMORROW" ?
yes, but it is actually Friday
Stat?
