    19:30 Those kind of windows are extremely common here up north since most houses have fully buried basements so if you want ventilation or egress it's the only option. As for the drain it just leads straight down to the weeping tile at the footing of the basement then to either the sewer or a sump pit to be pumped out of the house. The drain for the window is mostly just to prevent water pooling and running trough the window into the house.

    Loving the build lads. PRO TIP from the land down under, precut your bottom plate 10mm from the underside on each of the door openings before you stand the frame so that your not destroying blades at every door jam. saves time and money.

  • @garystrahan4601
    @garystrahan4601 26 днів тому +13

    @1:00 Prior to standing and setting the frame in position, partially run a cut about 1/2" deep across the bottom face of the bottom plates on each side of all the door openings, making it easier to remove them later.

    Hey my carpenter brothers. I just watched y'all double cutting the bottom plates in your doorways, ruining your oscillating blades. The way I do it is when I'm laying out the wall, I set my circular saw at 3/4" and relief cut the door opening on the bottom side of my bottom plate. I hope this saves y'all some $ and time. I'm a 30yr carpenter from Michigan, and I really enjoy the realness of your channel. GOD bless the crew and your loved ones. 💪🏽

    A great tip I saw once on another channel (don’t remember who sorry) when you’re framing door openings on concrete before you raise the wall score the bottom of the plate in the opening like a quarter inch or so, so that when you cut the bottom of the plate out you don’t have to run your saw blade into the concrete

      Yep it's funny to hear their take on window wells considering they're so ubiquitous here. Galvanized steel is the most common, and the ones that have to be replaced after about 20 years. Other more "custom home" options are HDPE plastic and precast concrete. The precast concrete ones have found their way into more production homes as of late I've noticed.
      I have HDPE plastic window wells and have only ever seen them on one or two other houses in the area out of the hundreds of yards I'm in a year.

    A tool tip Erik, if you subtract the measurement from the saw base to the blade, then you can put a tick mark and hold your speedsquare to it, then jam the saw up the the square and cut fast perfect 90°😃 usually the saw base is 1"1/2 so just subtract a 1"1/2 from your measurement 😄

  • @DougGarrison
    @DougGarrison 25 днів тому

    I always did the Larry Haun square cut putting the tick mark on the side of the board away from me. Then I would line up the notch on the front of my saw with the tick mark. Then flush the front of the saw to the 2x4, which gets it square, and plunge the saw in to the cut and finish by aiming the blade at the tick mark.

  • @apdj94
    @apdj94 26 днів тому

    Dividing the number of studs and replacing them as king and jack studs works as an estimation for smaller openings but the recommended installation for larger openings is greater since the shear distribution along the length of the opening is non-linear. That is, there is an exponential change in shear force along the opening that has to be accounted for by increased supporting members.

    19:30 those egress windows are pretty common around where my parents live in Indiana. They actually had some installed in the basement, because without them the only egress from the entire finished basement was a single staircase. That said, shortly after installation, they actually flooded the basement, so you make a compelling point that they're not necessarily a great idea when there are alternatives.

    Ugh! Engineering is complicated but so needed with big walls! We ran into a similar header issue with our windows on our front 20ft tall wall... we had it planned for 5 windows by the CAD designer but the wall engineers were concerned about the load over the door. So we cut it down to 3 windows and bumped them off to the side.
    But our builders lifted our back wall with a 16ft triple plate engineered wood header into place from the ground, 20ft below the top plate 😮. Sketchy to watch but they got it done 😵‍💫

    Basement window wells I'm familiar with, and yes typically in IBC it needs to be an egress window, typically a 2'0 x 4'0, minimum, if that space is lived in.

    I personally set up my miter box/cross cut saw during framing. Mostly for sills, headers, cripples and I cut them all at one time. Then I build headers for the whole job. Less moving around. I only use my circular saw for long plates or sheathing/decking.

    If you have a basement basement being used for regular basement purposes and you have only one entrance inside the house, those windows act as an egress in case the house catches fire while you are in the basement (or you get locked in somehow) and they allow some outside light to get in in case the inside lights stop working.

    Here in BC Canada you need according to code windows in your below grade basement that are big enough for someone to escape through, for fires. Not sure on the details, as in how many windows per room or per sqft or the min/max size. This is especially true if you try and rent out your basement. Even with this house being a half basement if the owners wanted to rent out a suite in the basement they would have to at least add windows to any below grade bedroom. Not a builder but both lived as a renter and as a landlord.

    I grew up in UT where homes have a basement due to frost lines. Every home seems to also have window wells. Not sure if it is for egress to meet code. That makes sense to me. Of course, it also makes a place black widow spiders liked to set up home. As a teen I framed a bedroom in the basement. That window became my only source of natural light.

    For square cuts without using a speed square, hook your tape in the center of the stud. Then pull the tape out to the right distance placing your index finger and pencil on the number you want and arc scribe a line. Works great up to 2x6. Takes some practice to use this method on wider boards.

    As an architect 5 per side would be accurate using wood members bc of the static and live loads above and bc of the opening dimension.
    I’d use a steel moment frame instead for efficiency’s sake but that’s just me, lol….also subsurface egress windows are MANDATORY in many jurisdictions, and they’re typically plumbed externally into the French drain of the house.

    make the mark and hold the speed square to run the saw against. Always correct. If you were to eyeball 2x6 or greater, then the cuts would probably not be square and you have to trim it again, costing time. No point drawing the line with square, just hold the square and place the saw against it.

    The window below grade drawn on those plans didn't seem large enough to be an egress window. It was probably just placed there to let some natural light into the space.

    @dylanhatch4086 26 днів тому

    Extra pro tip! Whenever framing walls on a finish concrete floor, set the depth on your saw to 3/4” and score the bottom plate at the door openings at your jack stud layout so when cutting out door plates, you can finish the cut from the top with a sawzall!!!
