Thanks mate, you've given me an idea what and how to do it, I'm on a Slab but I have wall damage from the bottom run to several vertical posts that need replacing right up to the top of the wall. Bloody Termites!!...Cheers Clint - Melbourne Australia....
Yes they were built better in some respects but you must keep in mind that termite damage cannot be blamed on shoddy construction. Termites will eat any and all wood even that in 100 year old houses. Any house will end up with major termite damage if proper chemical treatment is not applied and termite inspections are done often.
You have done excellent work!!!! I wish you lived near me! lol Now I know how termite repair is done! Great video too!!! What would you estimate the cost to repair the part you just did and how long did it take you. I just want an idea, not an exact cost! It looked like that house didn't have a basement there. Did you ever do the wall and ceiling in a basement? I live in old house my dad built in the 30's and I remodeled quite a few years ago in the 90's. I have some areas that need to be addressed.
I can’t remember if it was two or three days, and I think it was about 600 dollars and I did some other stuff for him, thanks for commenting, have a blessed day
Amazing. How did you cut the stud such that the replacement bottom half fit perfectly in place. I would expect that a reciprocating would tend to produce an uneven surface and may not be at a right angle to the sides of the stud.
Ok I think I used the reciprocating, the trick is to scribe your cut off to the new one, when in thought, don’t measure, fit and scribe, hope that helps
House is built on a slab. Pressure treated (PT) wood used on bottom plate (that is, the 2X4's fastened to the concrete slap) when house was built. Got damage to load bearing studs around an exterior door casing. Thinking of filling in the gaps at the interface between the top (old) stud and the new (bottom) PT studs with Bondo wood filler and sanding off the excess that spills out from the gap. By the way, PT ground contact 2X4's were less expensive at HD than any of the other non-PT 2X4's Go figure. The trick of using Bondo is getting the right mix of hardener with the filler. Temporary support 2X4's are being used in the meantime. This project got started when I went to replace a pedestrian garage door and casing. So I tore out the drywall to do demolition and replacement. I am really good at replacing and finishing drywall.
Great Video My husband and I repaired a wall upstairs about 2 years ago. I just recently found another active place in a wall downstairs. This is what I would like to know. Do the temites remain in the wall somewhere even after you spray and they have eaten all the wood? Do you ever get rid of them? Ours came from pine bark in the flower bed. We have the Termite bait stakes all around the house and here they are again. "Silent Destroyers"
When I did the repair, the homeowner had it sprayed and there was no trace of termites, it was sprayed a while before I could work on it, a professional is the best way, now in some areas I used mold armor and bleach to keep them buggers away. Thanks for sharing
I would treat the barrier of the house around the foundation with Termiticide in addition to the spray treatment inside the house. Also, get rid of and never place mulch up against the house and use stone. There are plenty videos on this but here is one basic version. ua-cam.com/video/uTgg92HV84k/v-deo.html
I hate that sound of pressing into termite eaten wood. The header above my garage door is shot. I need to pretty much replace the entire wall surrounding the opening and getting ideas on how to do this without removing the brick face out front.
Yeah the best thing to do is remove all the rot and reframe it, now I have steel angled header’s above mine, it may be a good idea for over the door, don’t get overwhelmed, do one thing at time and it will be fine.
Yes when you’re on a concrete slab you should use sill seal and pressure treated lumber, on this one ☝️ the lumber was mostly dry but chewed up by termites, also it was high off the ground, so I just replaced it with the same, but thank you for watching, more good videos coming out soon 👍
Yeah I agree ☝️ but the owner was more concerned with the floor and I assure you that everything is very solid and it’s all on new sill plate, floor joists and it’s not going anywhere,
We’ll hard to say, this job I think it was around 600, that was for everything including floor and drywall repair, Al’s the owner is a friend, so I’m thinking maybe for wood damage, expect to pay about 500
@@madskills5937 thanks I'm repairing 2×4 s franing that was damaged by termites & a moisture issue around a window luckily my house is on a slab so no flooring damage & the sill plate must be treated because it's solid (: Your video has given me the courage to tackle this project by myself!!!!
Sir you are an exceptional carpenter you do really great work 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Great job! It gives me hope for the termite damage in my own house now. Thanks!
fantastic!...Enjoy your channel...Keep Them Videos Coming....Good Luck On The Channel....
THANKS for Mad Skills
I like the older houses in the 100 year mark and lower they have solid materials

Nice vid, got a new sub
Hell of a job!👏🍻👍
Great work love to see all your videos 👍🏻
Thank you
Great job, the owner never have to call you back!!!
That's a great job you did there man
That is a SERIOUS nail gun.
Nice work Sir
Excellent 👍

Are the termites finally gone? How did they get rid of them, Termidor? Great job as usual on the re-construction!!!
The owner had exterminator there first, then I came in and did what I do, he’s very happy with the work, thanks 😊
Excellent & detail work & very soothing seeing the time lapse 💯. Is your 2x4 & 2x6 regular Doug fir? Or it's the termite-resistant wood?
Thank you 😊 it’s regular but the owner is going to have a treatment to help with that
Good job dude!
Really nice job with the fix. How come the house does not need to be supported when you cut out the floor joists?
Steel girders are about 3 feet back, mobile home steel frame
Man, I am afraid mine is gonna be this way, brand new house, only 1 1/2 years old
Very nice job, I like it. What total hours you spent for this wall and floor? How much this job is costing? Only job no materials.
Thank you, I think it was about three days, and it was about 500. Depending how bad it is it might cost more, also the owner is a friend.

Should those double sill plates be pressure treated? Great work. Subscribed.

Thank you
You need to replace the entire length of the 2 x 4's on a load bearing wall. You can't just cut half out, that's really not good.
Yeah I agree ☝️ but the owner was more concerned with the floor and I assure you that everything is very solid and it’s all on new sill plate, floor joists and it’s not going anywhere,
I thought a sill plate had to be horizontal?
Wow, this was amazing! Are you in California, the LA area by any chance
Yeah I get requests for work all over, I’m in the east coast South Carolina, but thank you for asking
Scared me so bad I cried 😢
How much do you charge for this kind of job?

@@madskills5937 I don't know which state you are but here in California. is like 1500 because termite damage repair it's not easy
Looks easy but it's not!!!!!
It’s not really hard, when I started it looked hard just do one step at a time, don’t worry about the finish stay in the moment.
