The classic Vans are the best shoes for framing. Excellent grip and ground feel. I like slip-ons in the summer, Old Skools, and Skate-Hi. Nice work, fellas.
you got a house layout on your left. and floor truss spec on your right. i mean i thought a tattoo'n my dominate finger a couple inches for drywall backer. but damn bro seph!
Hey brother I believe you could be nailing a wee bit closer together on the breaks. Here in Oregon we do every 6 inches on the edges and 10 inches in the feild
@@certifiedladderholder I'm that old carpenter in Maine who calls things the way I learned them 50 years ago. I guess if you are applying sheets of something, you are sheeting. Anothet term or thing that bugs the Hell out of me is calling a saber Most of the guys I know who are over 38 or 40 and who have been carpentering all of their adult working life say the same thing. saw a jig saw. A jig saw is a shop tool, not a portable hand tool.
@@certifiedladderholder it's both. Sheathing like to sheath a sword is the covering. it comes in 4x8 sheets, sheeting as in to install said sheet is perfectly acceptable, just as acceptable as saying shingling or siding. Both are 100% anyone who says otherwise hasn't thought it through.
This is my favorite part of building houses but I had a accident and got metal in my leg now and it hurts a little on them steeper roofs standing at a angle but I'm still going
Thanks! Theres a couple reasons we 2 pieced that rafter. One being it was going to be over 26’ I believe and luckily it had about 5’ of wall in the middle to nail into. Which was the perfect spot to make it split a stud. Another good thing is gable rafters tend to not hold as much weight as any other rafter, because of all of the gable studs that are nailed under/beside the rafter.
@@certifiedladderholder Ahh OK understood. Be careful up there! Here in Ireland or in the UK the health and safety warriors would never allow working at height as you are without extensive scaffolding. Sometimes it is OTT but you may only fall once from a two storey roof ☠ I use to follow a youtuber called The Crazy Framer and he has since disappeared hopefully he didn't fall.
How long did you frame before becoming a lead? I build sunrooms right now. They are cheap quality materials and suck lol. I want to get back into framing, not sure how long it would take me to be able to make good money tho. I know how to frame gables and simple hips, as I have built sheds with roofs like these, on my own for people. I have built decks, stairs, etc, on my own, good quality and to code. However, When I used to work for a farmer, I just nailed and cut, I didn’t lay anything out. The houses were complex custom houses, and the lead guys had 30 years experience so it was them leading, me playing lumber dummy.I feel like I could pretty much frame at least a simple house on my own, am familiar with using stringlines, and stuff like that, framing doors, windows, etc.Haven’t used lasers a lot, kind of know how to use them. Never read a house plan, have read deck plans to build decks( much simpler than a house obviously)
I’ve been framing for 3 years now total. I still wouldn’t consider myself a lead. I’m just a regular framer in a crews arsenal I would say. As much as I wanna think I know about this trade, there’s still so much I need to actually do on my own. I’ve done wall layout, read prints, done my own roof calculations, however I still think there would be a learning curve in actually leading a crew/being in charge of a big task. It sounds like you have some great experience though. You have the basic knowledge to really succeed in the trade if you ever wanna try it out again. I’ve heard this multiple times but once guys who haven’t framed in a while start framing again, it’s like muscle/mind memory. It comes back to them faster. Maybe even develop a better understanding even faster👍
I think the only shoe I don’t like when sheathing is any sort of boot. Especially the ones that wrap my ankle. I tend to get blisters and it gets very uncomfortable. I personally like wearing vans. Hiking tennis shoes work super great too👍Anything with a lot of flexibility and some great traction on the soles will do the trick!
Whenever we’re on the roof I always have 3-4 pairs of vans I cycle through. I used to try to find tennis shoes with insanely aggressive tread when I was new but I made the mistake of wearing some slippery flat vans one day and I realized I had no trouble on the roof. It’s all about time and confidence. The only shoes I won’t wear are any leather work boot. They just hurt your feet so much👍
@Certified Ladder Holder ya that's what I found out put the vans on and it was pretty mint love the videos tho keep at her I started 3 years ago and it's great

UK Carpenter here who's gone almost exclusively to pneumatic tools again. Only advantage to cordless nailers is no hose apart from that they are heavier & bulkier you got gas/batteries to mess about with & they are a PITA unreliable compared to air tools. Almost nothing to go wrong with air tools & they generally about half the price also.
Nice to see the younger guys banging nails ..give us old dudes a break...I frame in Mississippi and freakity flap it's hot and humid 10 months out the year
I tend to use that awesome little trick here and there. In this video I just eyeballed the plane and tacked it, then double checked it with my square. 🤷♂️Just work flow tendencies I guess
It’s hard to teach! Everyday your options are slim for your mood! I know I was a trainer for years , then overseen all training and all new hires? Plus 19 trainers? I am a finish carpenter / contractor now but in that life your screw up you die or get you or others seriously hurt! In this case your apprentice can fall, cut off his hand, nail his face with a rebounding nail off a knot ! It’s serious yet you hv to hv a sense of humor ! Tim Uhler Awesome Framers is one of thee best trainers brother check him out! Your doing great ( who cares what I think) but like us all you can be intimidating ! Never let him be so afraid to make mistakes he becomes useless ?
@@certifiedladderholder I’m a carpenter based out of San Diego Southern California. Seems like every roof system in the mid west or east coast is conventional?
@@adrielmontiel1887 I wouldn’t say every, it varies. Almost all tract homes around us frame with trusses. However most customs are framed conventional hand cut. That and I have framed a few customs that were trussed too🤷♂️
Haha when sheeting I only like carrying strips of 8’s. No 16’s, so even though I could technically load up the board with a bunch of 8’s. The roofers would hate that and I wouldn’t really trust it. So when sheeting I always carry hand drive spikes and hand drive all of the toe boards, 1 every 2 feet👍
I can assure you it’s still all fun and games. We work in a production setting, I work under 2 guys who want to see the job get done fast. Trying to balance that with doing the job as perfect as I’d want to, it gets difficult. Sometimes you gotta keep the ball rolling and the only way to do that is keeping Spencer on his toes when it’s necessary. I encourage you to watch some of my other videos, lots of fun to be seen👍
Hey man Derek is absolutely one of the most respectful and kind people you could have the pleasure of meeting. Most of the interactions between us is just banter, jesting, poking fun. No feelings are being hurt and Derek and I are in fact great friends. I appreciate your comment and concern. Love from the USA!
Rafter tails should have been cut properly on the ground! Stand the sheathing up along the back of the forklift platform! Gable should have been completed before roof sheathing. Come on guys work smarter not harder! Glad you don’t work for me
Cleanest roof sheeter out there
🥲
Slowest really. And did u see him swing that hammer oufff
The part where you whispered in his ear and still said “What?” killed me, something i do on the job as well. I cant hear for crap 😂
We started using a crew just sheeting roofs in the late 90s, those guys can sheet 2 to 3 houses a day, it takes about 10 crews to keep them busy

Do you even skate? Poser. I frame and skate don’t wear it stolen valor
ur a good teacher man, im a second year apprentice and i can appreciate someone similar age to me teaching the way u do
"Give me the northwest quadrant of it" ded, lmfao
Roofs lookin' good too brotha, good job.
Your a savage on the roof such confidence and finesse
“ they call him lightning “ 😂😂had me dying bro
nice job bro. i do framing here in phoenix AZ 45 degrees to us is freezing you said it was warm LOL
Man I can't tell you how close I came to falling off that roof while sitting here drinking my coffee nice work
Great work
All them years of ladder certification experience done payed off😂
you got a house layout on your left. and floor truss spec on your right. i mean i thought a tattoo'n my dominate finger a couple inches for drywall backer. but damn bro seph!
good to see another vid keep it up stay safe big dog
Great content. Nice edits.

Good to see another video. It's good to know that you are sheathing ant sheeting. Sheathing may be 1x10 boards not just sheets of OSB or plywood.
Aha! I just had that conversation with Spencer this morning who always thought it was “sheeting”😂It made me laugh when I figured it out back then

You can use the nail magazine on that nail gun as a straight edge two plane your sub fascia

Just wondering about that gable rafter being two pieces instead of a single long length, surely that weak?

@@certifiedladderholder thank you appreciate the reply
345 tattoo is dope!
What do you find is the best shoe for walking steep pitches
I think the only shoe I don’t like when sheathing is any sort of boot. Especially the ones that wrap my ankle. I tend to get blisters and it gets very uncomfortable. I personally like wearing vans. Hiking tennis shoes work super great too👍Anything with a lot of flexibility and some great traction on the soles will do the trick!
New toolbelt tour plz
that's 8/17 pitch for valleys
You are a more patient man than me 😂
😂
Do Vans rlly grip that good bro?
I think so!
No h-clips needed in your area? How thick is that sheeting?
No sir. We’re only required to do it with 24” spacings. We typically use 1/2 inch👍
@@certifiedladderholder ok that makes sense, we use 24" spacing with 3/8 typically so we need them
You dont have to use shealthing clips in america?
Feet/ankles of steel.
Do you wear certain shoes for roofs or have a preference for good shoes
Whenever we’re on the roof I always have 3-4 pairs of vans I cycle through. I used to try to find tennis shoes with insanely aggressive tread when I was new but I made the mistake of wearing some slippery flat vans one day and I realized I had no trouble on the roof.

Thoughts on a cordless nailer for the roof?

Best roof framing nail gun ?
Couldn’t really tell you a specific brand🤷♂️We use paslode but they all do the job, although I haven’t tried any guns that are specific for sheeting.
@@certifiedladderholder yep I was thinking either paslode or just get a Milwaukee like all my other tools
Crazy roof good thing only the 2 front gables are a 12 12 the rest looks like an 8 12
No wind wash? Or install that later?
Are you talking about insulation stops? If so normally it’s common practice in our area that our insulators do that. Which saves us a step👍
@@certifiedladderholder damn, that's nice. We've gotta do em in our area
Why don’t you use the nailer to plane out the fascia so you can use your other hand to hold
I tend to use that awesome little trick here and there. In this video I just eyeballed the plane and tacked it, then double checked it with my square. 🤷♂️Just work flow tendencies I guess
Why don't they make 4/12 ranches anymore?
I bet they still do! Just a location thing in my opinion. The average roof pitch in my area is an 8/12👍
I love your videos because i want to be a carpenter too

Paslode why???? Their reps dropped by with so many free guns ya’ll decided to actually use them?
why is no one harnessed in? if u fall even onve ur career is over? slip make one mistake once ur seriously hurt
Rafter tails should have been cut properly on the ground!
Stand the sheathing up along the back of the forklift platform!
Gable should have been completed before roof sheathing.
Come on guys work smarter not harder!
