Pro tip~ Not a big deal but when framing interior walls we usually don’t transfer roof loads to a 4” slab via a wall to avoid cracking or settling. If an interior wall is meant to have a load it will have a footing below. Simpson actually makes a clip that connects the top plate/ceiling which allows for movement. Thanks for the breakdown in cost. Very helpful! My next house will be built in concrete, possibly PIP since our company does that work (and framing) or maybe ICF. Fire insurance has gotten outrageous where I live but it’s MUCH cheaper with a concrete home.
@Falkon-dv6hl man, you are preaching to the choir! I wish we had time to explain all the issues with the engineering, truss order, design, implementation etc. You are very kind with your explanation, but it IS a big deal. Thank you for your input!
Great video! Dont worry about knowing the names of everything, the comments section will be sure to let you know! 😂. The wood for the Sheetrock is called “dead wood” (at least here in the South East it is). The stud to the inside that supports the Header is called a Jack Stud (some refer to it as a Trimmer) so you were right on that. The stud(s) on the outside of the door and window openings are King Studs. Inspectors can get picky here as there’s a certain number of King studs required depending on variables that I don’t remember right now 😂. The little studs above the headers are called “Cripples”. All that being said, when I get on camera during framing I won’t remember half of this and will probably make up names just because. Have a great day.

I am tempted to just make up my own language for everything and watch as viewers have a melt down... hahaha! Thank you for the information!
@@Mountainview-mesa What a great idea!
the number of kings depends on width of opening over 4' need 2.
@@cokeiceeeeeThanks
you have a double top plate. was not needed to center studs on trusses but if absolutely best practice and strongest long term and minimize settlement
