    Great video. Some comments from someone who has built and followed building across the country. There are many things that are done differently on the west coast than in the rest of the country. In the beginning of this video, you mention that pressure treated lumber has slits cut in it. That only applies to fir and fir type lumbers. In most of the country, treated lumber is Southern Yellow Pine (SYP.) This material does not have slits because the SYP wood fibers accept the preservative treatments better than the firs.
    On the west coast, headers and many beams are huge dimensioned lumbers. In most of the country, these items are built up of smaller dimensioned lumber. 6"x6" and larger dimensioned lumber is simply not available.
    You show triple or more side and bottom cripples. Anywhere except the west coast, you typically see single and rarely see more than double cripples.
    Most of the country frames with kiln dried lumber. Framing with green lumber is mostly unique to the west coast.
    Outside the seismic affected west coast and wind affected coastal areas. Shear panels, strapping and clips or brackets and uplift brackets are foreign to people in most of the country.

Your a natural on camera teacher and I appreciate your videos. Also to the OP, ty for clearing that up, being informative and not being an asshole doing it 👌 I've always wondered why alot of the wood I buy is stamped syp. Are tremors considered bucks? I know we all have different terms and my framing neighbor here in Florida calls those bucks I believe. Thanks to you both!

Sc. in Biochemistry and this video felt kind of complex and hard for me to understand; and so I’ve had to re-watch it a few times in order to understand things better. Everyone learns in different ways and we all have our own strengths and weaknesses in both knowledge and skill-set. I hope that you don’t put yourself down or think that you’re “stupid” because of your perceived shortcomings with school. I can tell you with utmost certainty that having a degree doesn’t make someone “smart”, and the lack of a degree, doesn’t make someone “dumb”. I hope you have a great day.

    being a structural engineer in training myself, I have gotten good at summarizing the purpose of my job. A structural engineers job is to use applied physics and material science to transfer loads from the roof and floors down in to the ground. 90% of my job is determining how to get roof and floors loads (in my area, that would include snow) down into the soil. The last 10% is sizing those structural pieces to do so without breaking. Great video!

      @travsb1984 2 роки тому

      Being an EIT is an exciting time with a lot to learn... Did you notice the errors in the design and construction in the foreground at that @14:57 timestamp? The shearwall boundary elements (6x6) should be continuous king posts, not broken and used as a trimmer. The correct construction would have been 6x6 king posts and 1-2x6 trimmer. This occurs at both of those walls. I see this error a lot, contractors see the big post callouts and assume they are there to support the header load, they are usually not. Because the 6x6's are broken, the single 2x6 king stud is inadequate to distribute out of plane wall forces from the garage wall to the roof diaphragm and the foundation, there should be 2-2x6 KS's there... Also, as a design error from the engineer, there is no way those either of those two shearwalls meet the 3.5:1 aspect ratio limit, so neither of them is code compliant. Those wall piers could have been strong walls, or the load should have been dragged somewhere else. All nitpicking aside, this framing is exceptionally clean, you'll rarely find anything done this good in the field.

    I was installing drywall in a house (a Lindal Home design) in Grand Valley, Ontario, Canada years ago but there was no General Contractor (GC) and the framers didn't provide nail/screw surfaces for drywall everywhere. They didn't block any walls and the framing had dried and the 2" x 4" partition walls were bowed out so much the boards would rock. We ended up reframing some walls and shimming several others. The framers left a bunch of cut-off 2" x 6" pieces in the walk-out basement and I wanted to get rid of their waste so I cut pieces to length and nailed them between the perimeter wall studs at 3-1/2' and 5-1/2' above the concrete floor. It took most of the day but two days afterwards the owner's insurance agent came by to look at the house and was taking photographs in the basement. I asked if something was wrong and he said, "No, quite the opposite. Who's idea was it to install the blocking in the perimeter walls because it's not shown or noted on the drawings." I explained and he said he wished every house had this as it slows the rate of vertical flame spread and then he said he took photos to prove it so they can reduce the rate of insurance. He suggested we photograph it as well and provide pictures for the owner.

    I must say you look young in age but are very mature and wise in the way you approach the work like the wisest veterans of the carpentry industry world. Keep swinging the hammer and hitting nails on the head for as long as your body will allow you too. I don't know for sure if that's what Larry Haun was doing until his last day's on earth? But I have to Imagine that's what he wanted to do because he really looked like he loved the work, Same as you.. Bang on Matt.

    Matt have you ever considered stuffing insulation into your channel when you build it to avoid hot or cold spots in your walls. Where I live in the northeast our climate has extreme temp swings and our walls can use what ever extra help we can give them. Thanks for another great video it should help many beginners and diy folks.

      @ulosefish His question is 100% fine.. Plans don't call for a California Corner, or a Channel. It's up to framers to do those things, not per plan.
      As far as your question goes Jim, our channels do create a hot / cold spot in the wall, but with the weather in CA it isn't a problem at all.. If we were to go to another area, it would need to be done for sure! Stuffing the channels with insulation before putting them in makes for a much better product in colder / hotter climate.

      I won't lie, I knew NOTHING about framing or building anything until about 6 weeks ago. Nothing! After watching several videos from guys like this guy, I decided to build a shed in my backyard. I ended up buying all the tools required (which I went a little overboard) and am done framing and currently putting up my roof rafters. It's no intimidating if you just make a plan, no matter the size of project, and go step by step. Let these experts show you online. There are thousands and thousands of these types of videos. Give whatever it is you want to build a try!

    Hey Matt, absolutely perfect video, very helpful, thx! I'd like to know more about lumber you use for framing, except for bottom plate are regular studs and top plates treated by any kind and any mean? Because in this video you said you generally use wet lumber for framing and I thought (until now :D) wood used for framing is AT LEAST dryed to some level of moisture content, let's say 12-16 %. So is it just wood taken from mill / lumber yard without any kind of treatment? Please talk basics about lumber commonly used for framing - what kind of lumber, how is it treated, common sizes etc.
    Another thing I'd like to know is what are common layers for flooring in case of non-solid concrete deck (I mean when you build a house based on crawl space laying on pillars or perimeter concrete wall). Please talk about every layer including joists, sheating(s), insulation and how to prevent the floor from squeaking from the very bottom to the final layer of flooring, e.g. vynil floor. Thanks a lot, take care.

    • @rolly5457
      @rolly5457 4 роки тому

      For framing it is typically Doug fir or a "#2 or better" for wall studs and top plates, the wood is not at 100% moisture content but it is nowhere near dry (~7-11%). The final moisture content of wood varies depending on the environment and the MC of air. If you have other questions feel free to ask.

    Channels work great for interior walls, but I wouldn't recommend for exterior walls, creates a void in the exterior wall that insulators cant get to. Big problem when you build up north.
    We instead use C corners for corners, and L partition backers where interior partitions intersect with exterior walls, making the L partition with a 2x6 backer gives you 1.5" on one side, and 2" on the other side of partition

    @ThatKiltedGuyDIY 2 роки тому +4

    Good explanations. But you don’t do advanced framing to improve insulation values? The one area I noticed that is when you were discussing an interior wall meeting an exterior wall and you did the box framing to provide drywall backing. I’ve been a Drywaller for over 35 years and that’s how it used to be done and still is in many areas, but I’m planning on building a large home for myself this summer and want to do the advanced framing methods where you get more insulation in some headers, and in that backing area. You basically turn your backing sideways so that insulation can fit in there and you don’t end up with a dead air space.
    I was just sitting here watching how other people do things while I rest so I’m basically Just curious. Good videos though
