    I'm just an amatuer DIYer and I've watched many hours of videos on construction and DIY.
    This has been best and most concise explanations for framing that I've seen on UA-cam.
    Other videos explain the same terms sometimes but it's always broken up with other tips and tricks etc.
    I guess the assumption is that you already know a bit. At least with your video it doesn't assume that AND you give "why" as opposed to "this is where this goes and that's how it should be".
    Looking forward to watching the other videos you have.

    Good stuff Joe.
    Your presentation is tip top.
    In England we always say the larger dimension first, e.g. 6x2 or 4x2, said as six buh two etc.
    Very few of our buildings are timber framed over here as we don't have the forestation you have in the states.
    Our stud work is mainly used for internal partitioning and where it's not load bearing we'll use 3x2 as our ceiling height is around 7ft 6ins.
    Take care over there.

    Wonderful video and I'm currently digging the entire series.
    Quick question: Why do you always want to stick to the layout? Is it for sheating purposes so you always land your board on a stud?
    It is somehow tempting to space equally the cripples underneath a window sill or to put at least 2 when the layout would only provide one.
    Many thanks

      I completely disagree. Code does not require jacks under the sill. The sill should not be carrying much weight, the window is fastened to the framing- not leaning on the sill. Thus what you call sill jacks are not required. That is just extra framing for no reason. It costs more time, more money, and adds to thermal bridging.

    I’m just learning here. My question is, are jack studs not required to better support the sill plate for the window?

    • @ConstructionEd
      @ConstructionEd  Рік тому +3

      William, specific studs under a sill - that would be in similar locations as a Jack Stud in a RO - are not required. The only framing members that are needed are the cripples on whatever layout pattern you are framing in. You will see many folks adding those in - but they are not required and the sill does NOT need them for support. Windows actually end up with only a small portion of their weight on the sill, due to the window being fastened to the framing. The inclusion of these extra studs actually frustrates me - I can only surmise that they are used to save time - but if a RO is assembled in order, the sill can be face nailed through the Jack, before the Jack is nailed to the Kings. And you don't need to double up the sill with 2 framing members - so don't fall for that either. Less wood when possible is always better.

      @@ConstructionEd Yes, thermal bridging is our ‘enemy’. Works against us when wishing to maintain a constant temperature in our conditioned space whether when heating or cooling. Therefore, I have always liked the method of installing a continuous layer of rigid foam insulation from the exterior of the bottom plate all the way up to the ridge of the roof (taping all joints and adding roof overhangs during process). Similarly, I’ve also seen floors being insulated by placing rigid foam ON TOP of the subfloor, rather than between the floor joists. Of course extra insulation may be added in the stud bays. Considering the price of building materials these days, I’m unsure which is more cost effective or better suited for a cold climate. When completely sealing the building envelope, I start to wonder about ventilation and ‘breathability’ of the home. Not sure if it is necessary as in a traditional ventilated roof. Either need to install a HVAC system (but I expect not in a 500~600sq.ft. cabin) or simply open some windows for fresh air. Which would you recommend for a cold Canadian climate?

    @alexanderdark6864 2 роки тому +1

    I have three framing books and none of them touch on edge-case scenarios, which is really unfortunate. New-comers know interior butt walls are supposed to have its double plate overlap onto the wall it's perpendicular to, but what about extremely short butt walls? An example is when you have a tiny 3-inch wall (two 2x4's sandwiched) just for one side of where a door will go. It's just enough space to allow for trim around the door. It's an ultra-short wall. Do you bother to have its double plate overlap onto the wall it's up against (we'll call it a by-wall)? Doing so means the double plate of the by-wall would be split into two plates instead of one. Often times this causes conflicts with the rule about spacing your double and top plate joints 4' apart from each other. This becomes more of a problem on really long spans of wall where you might want to split the wall up into sections instead of trying to lift a 30 foot long wall.
    Like I said, I've gone the extra mile buying multiple books on the subject, but they don't cover stuff like this. For all I know, it could be perfectly acceptable to simply not bother overlapping that double plate for the 3 inch wall to make it all simple. The other aspect of it is that framing inspections, to my knowledge, only happen after you've got all the plumbing and wiring done, so it's not like you can just take a wall back down to fix it.

    • @ConstructionEd
      @ConstructionEd  2 роки тому

      It is great question and has our team perplexed a bit - partially due to not knowing exactly what the situation you were talking about. I am not thinking that the double top plate overlap to the through-wall as I am not sure 2 2x4's sandwiched would be considered a wall - it sounds more like it would be considered blocking or just nailers. Glad to take a second pass at the question if you explain it a bit more.
