Omgosh!!!!!!! We had never built anything til we jumped off grid in 2015..... when u said a 4x8 isn't 4 ft across.... this explains why even when we measured our 16 on center correctly we kept messing up at the end!!!! I thought it was us all this time every time we build something. I cannot wait to tell my husband this. Ty for all this info.... I'm mad we never thought to measure the actual plywood.... makes me feel so stupid lol but I'm so glad to learn it today as we have one more build to go.
@@DeepSouthHomestead my husband called on first break from work and I told him.... and he thanks you so much! Tho, we both feel pretty stupid for not measuring the boards lol who knew 4x8 didn't mean 4x8, not us ! Lol any how, I sure hope u filmed more of the build in this style.... honestly it was the best floor build and explanation I've seen on you tube... in real language and visually something I totally understood. Thank you!
4x8 sheets are most definitely a true 4x8 you may have thought your 16 on center was correct but actually it was probably wrong . When starting layout you actually mark 15 1/4 mark your line and put an x in the direction you pulled . Put your board in the x side up against the line
15:39 that brought back memories of my dad pointing and telling me where something is and me still not seeing it. But what a great help Wanda is for you, she did great.
Very well done.Nice Brian helped you back then.He is building thier new porch now back East.Be well and continued Blessing's building you all's CC Cabin.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡....
I sure am glad to see you building a cabin. I enjoy the way you meticulously do everything from a building to restoring the cub. You explain everything so well. Wishing you and Miss Wanda the best.
This was such a beautiful thing to watch, thank you for sharing. My husband is 56 and thinks he's too old to start something like this. You both are a great encouragement. God bless.
Im confused. Why did you laminate 2 2x10's for the sill joidts and stack another 2x12 for the rin joists instead of putting the floor joists between the laminated sill joists and using the sill joists as your combination sill / rim joist? Im not a builder, just looking at how other people do this before I build my own House.
What a great job Danny and Wanda . Shame so many so called builders , certainly here in Australia , don’t follow in your footsteps . Thank you and may God continue to Bless you both
Danny I REALLLLY am enjoying this and learning so much! I like the softer music and the cutaway from work to tell us what's going on. Thanks and looking forward to more!
Its been 20 years since I did any "real" framing...I didn't know a sheet of plywood wasn't 4'x8' anymore...I guess it was just a matter of time! Great video.
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. You are straight scholl! Do it right! Or don't do it at all! I respect your build ethics!! This video was so helpful. I really want to build a small house / cabin but I've too scared to start because I didn't know where to start. Your video has given so much more confidence in my understanding of this process. I have subscribed to show my support. Thank you again.
This is how to do a solid, quality build. Impressive knowledge and skills. I like that you explain the rationale about some of your methods, it is so helpful. Keep up the good work. God bless.
My family's 140 + year old farm house recently burned down. It was a post and beam construction and the floor joices were slotted into the sill beams same for the ceiling joices on the top beam. The post were mortissed into the beams. Amazingly strong construction. Will miss the old place.
What great build series . I thought that you were going to lay the floor joists on top of the flat sill plate at first when you doubled up the sides . I was thinking the joists would push down on the flat sill plate but I see that you put a single board on top of the double sill and hang the floor joists that . What a great idea . No need for a bunch of hangers . Like the way you put blocking where all of the floor plywood ends will be . Smart . Not depending on the tongue & groove to hold up the plywood . Certainly a master craftsman at work . Smart in putting that double 2X10 for the load bearing wall and knowing where that wall is going to go. Looking forward to your next video on this build series .
But, it looks like the whole floor is ‘floating’ the entire span (no support posts underneath that whole span) on all 4 sides!?! Is that a correct observation, or did I miss the part of the video where support posts are intermingled within the outer 4 sides? How big is this building’s floor plan? Thanks!
This is the kind of video I learn from, thanks for sharing ! You two must miss the Lourie family being around. Great catching you when I can....... keep on keeping on
Very interesting to see how you design from your own experience. What do you do to prevent mice and other animals from getting into the floor from underneath? I looked for other episodes but couldn’t find them…Thank you for sharing
What is the purpose for putting a single board to hang your joists on top of the 2 boards sitting on the sill plate? Can’t you just attach the joist to the double rafters on the sill plate? Great video!!
What span are the beams supported at 8'? I will use metal pipe instead of blocks on mine. I want to use dual 2x12's for my beams or might even go to triple 2x12s. I will also use the same 2x10 for the floor joist . I like this video.
Wouldn’t a 4”x12” beam be enough to hold all the floor joists? If not, would tacking on a 2”x12” onto a 4”x12” glued and screwed/nailed do the job for ALL the floor joists?
@@briha3142 I cant get 4x12s here so must use dual 2x12s. I placed my project on hold as the project cost increased by over 45%. My cabin was going to be built 8 to 10 feet off the ground so we could see the property from the bedroom or kitchen.
Hi there Danny, it is new to me to see how you put the rim joist on top off the sill. I seen many examples where they build on top of a beam...can you explain your method...it looks great!
Danny, if only you were paid two-bits for every swing of that hammer you've swung over the years! You know some good practices Danny. Thanks for sharing.

It does make it very frustrating when you try to build something a certain size.

Thank you!
Lay the middle sheet first and then go both ways to the end. Gives you a little more play that way.
4x8 sheets are most definitely a true 4x8 you may have thought your 16 on center was correct but actually it was probably wrong . When starting layout you actually mark 15 1/4 mark your line and put an x in the direction you pulled . Put your board in the x side up against the line
@@NewsThatMatterUsa thank you for this! We have another build coming up and this will for sure help out.
15:39 that brought back memories of my dad pointing and telling me where something is and me still not seeing it. But what a great help Wanda is for you, she did great.
From one Carpenter in the South to another - that's a fine piece of work you did there!
Finally a Man that is building the right way.
I've watched many of these DIY construction videos and this foundation looks the best to me. Well thought out and executed.
This man been there and done it a few times. I'd love to have some of his knowledge thanks for the video.
I, too, have that same ziploc bag in my pocket often when I build. Great work. Great strong designs. Keep it up, keep sharing your knowledge
Being a builder here in Australia, now retired, always interesting to see how building is done elsewhere.
Good job Danny.
Very well done.Nice Brian helped you back then.He is building thier new porch now back East.Be well and continued Blessing's building you all's CC Cabin.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡....
Danny, good instructional voice overs at key points in the project. Helpful. Enjoyable.
Danny, you are a true Craftsman 🙂👍🏻🇺🇸

Thanks for taking us along. Blessings! 🙏❤️😃
The most cleanest job ever!

Dude you make me want to work with you to learn some old school secrets!

Very informative and the first video I’ve Seen that explains how to connect the joists
Absolutely one of the best training films on youtube, thanks so much!
I've never seen support beams laying flat before. Interesting way to do it. Thanks for sharing.
What a great job Danny and Wanda . Shame so many so called builders , certainly here in Australia , don’t follow in your footsteps . Thank you and may God continue to Bless you both
Way overbuilt; I like it.

Absolutely, well done video presentations !!!
I'm so glad it's a blessing to you.

I'm building this summer. I would. Love these plans.
Its been 20 years since I did any "real" framing...I didn't know a sheet of plywood wasn't 4'x8' anymore...I guess it was just a matter of time! Great video.
Ppl should demand better or demand a refund
Enjoyed your Video. I love the fact your wife is there with you. Look forward to seeing more videos!

Screws are not the proper way.
Sir you are a good teacher! I’m going to enjoy watching this build!
I can’t wait for your next progress
Old school, no nail gun. Nice roundhouse overalls, Oklahoma made. There one of the best overalls 👌
I have been wearing Roundhouse for nearly 20 years. I love them

Great Video Series Danny and Wanda. Ive learned a lot already from your Excellent teaching and demonstrations. Thank y'all for sharing !!!
Watching your video again ❤❤👍👍👍
That's is the most beautiful flooring !
thank you for sharing this project I look forward to watching your idea of building a fireplace
Thank you Danny and Wonda for sharing all that you have. What size is your cabin? May the Lord continue to Bless and keep you both.
16 x 32 ft
Thank you, can't wait to see each step of your building adventure! :-)
Amazing work.
Thank you for explaining things that most would not. Like the widths of playwood. And how to measure on 16 centers.
I love the video you and Wanda have made. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
This is the kind of video I learn from, thanks for sharing ! You two must miss the Lourie family being around. Great catching you when I can....... keep on keeping on
That looks solid. Nice work
Get er' done!!! That is some nice straight bridging. Great job!
Nice Job
Pretty cool thanks for the video.
Thank you for such perfect presentation. I learned so much in just this one video.
I love watching your Vito Fran Mississippi
Wow!! That’s all very interesting to me 😘💕
Thank you for sharing this video....learning so much. Greatly appreciated. Blessings
Wow, nice work! Thanks for walking us through the steps.
This was fascinating to watch for me.
Thank you so much for this video
I love your method it looks like it'd be better support than using those hangers .. I've definitely learned something thank you so much.
Exceptional flooring, D & W! Can't wait to see more!👍🏻👍🏻
Nice work.
Thank you so very much! This was really helpful and easy to understand. God Bless you Danny! Much love to you and Wanda 🤗💖😊
My cabin is 20x20 with a triple beam down the center. 24" above the ground so I can get under to work, and for storage. I like the way you did yours.
Love the cabin build. You're very experienced and I'm learning quite a bit.
Thanks!
Wanda is a great hand
Looks fantastic!
Can I hire you Danny! LOL LOL Great job!
Now that looks solid!
Really enjoyed watching. Thanks
GOOD VIDEO , GOOD JOB, AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BUILD. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR PROGRESS.
Very informative video. I will be building our cabin soon and I will refer to this video often.
Nice video
I really appreciate your videos. Question. How is the second 2x10 (rim joist) attached to the vertical 2x10 directly below it? Thanks again Danny!
Way to go Wanda:)
You got a good 'un with Wanda.
Thank you, a wealth of information.
bout to start a 12 x 32 cabin here thanks for the tips !!!
well itturned into a 14x32 lol but got the floor joist framed yesterday and the decking down today once again thanks for the tips!!!
The rim job looks good bud
We have been really enjoying following your cabin build. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have a video for the cement footings?
Do you have a video on creating the concrete piers and anchors you used? New subscriber. Thanks for sharing
Very interesting to see how you design from your own experience. What do you do to prevent mice and other animals from getting into the floor from underneath?

Yet to try it but looks pretty informative and well explained. I'll let you know.
looks nice
Nice work
Do you have a video of making the foundation?
I would like to know how you did the footers like that
Danny it wood be nice if you wood do a video on your concrete/ block house supports...
VERY INTERESTING
Hi I live in Virginia. Is there a way to do the same sort of construction with untreated lumber? Thanks for the video.
Hi there Danny, it is new to me to see how you put the rim joist on top off the sill. I seen many examples where they build on top of a beam...can you explain your method...it looks great!
Great Danny! I would love to do that someday 😁
Awesome big project😍👍
Also, I plan to use this t ADD a small restroom to a frame building in bought. Any special instructions?
Great video Danny thanks for sharing. Just curious, why did you use treated wood for the joists in the field as opposed to just the rims and sills?
Its all out of treated wood in the deep South termites are real bad.
Danny, if only you were paid two-bits for every swing of that hammer you've swung over the years! You know some good practices Danny. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, fixing to build my second house, a first with peir and beam tho. Thank you Sir for this video.
good morning
