It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.
Hi CF, as a retired carpenter contractor (42 yrs) I have much respect for you. Just a suggestion, I don’t know if they’re still available but a pair of Proctor wall jacks would make lifting those large walls much easier and safer. I’ve lifted 60ft x 10ft sheathed 2x6 walls with them, also whole gable walls sheathed. Wish you were closer I’d give you 2, hate seeing you struggle. Proctor used to be located in Washington state but I believe they relocated to Canada.
Glad your running your own jobs now. One thing I’d like to see is a hard working dedicated apprentice under you. Show him all you know. The ropes so to speak. An eager buck that wants to learn and not afraid of hard work. Got to keep the craft going into the future with good hands that know what their doing. Looks like the hand has healed up well. Keep on keepin on. Take care CF.
@@hillbert0861 And the older generations said the same thing. The previous generations raised todays kids. Maybe you can spend less time putting people down and help lift them up.
Hey, I have been enjoying and learning from your videos (I plan on being a carpenter). Keep up the good work and be careful. Also, a tour of the house when your done?
I’m a full time carpenter, been framing houses for more years than I will ever admit to but I also have never drunk a beer or smoked a cigarette the whole time I was building
CF I noticed you never build with engineered studs for kitchens and bathrooms. Here in the states I see all the new homes with them. I assume it’s to keep the walls dead straight for cabinets. Is there a technique with kiln lumber to get steak walls in those areas.
Bedrooms...they look like closets. They must be for small people. I'm surprised you don't utilize a work light to work after dark. I often work late into the night on builds using lights on stands powered by the genni.
OSB has very good mechanical properties that make it particularly suitable for load-bearing applications in construction. It's more popular than plywood now. It's almost at 70% of the structural panel market. Instead of throwing away all the low grade wood, the advent of mechanical engineering in the 1960's has resulted in a greater wood utilization efficiency (80% of wood removed from the forest can now be processed into marketable products) and profitability in the forestry and building products industry. The benefits of using OSB far outweigh its deficits. Besides, through R&D and innovation, OSB will continue to improve in quality and increase in use. Canada produces over 10,500,000 m2 (113,000,000 sq ft) of 3⁄8" OSB of which 90% is exported, almost entirely to the USA. We are endowed with an abundance of natural, renewable resources, including metals, oil & gas, water, and agriculture. Selling value added products results in jobs and improves the Canadian economy. Having positive relations with our trading partners around the world ensures Canadians continue to enjoy a high standard of living and quality of life. Respectfully,
@@mbabcock111 you can have it, I wouldnt touch it vs sawn lumber. Anything that gets moist once and is ruined like the rafters, forget it. Wood rots if it doesnt dry but takes years, osb 1 x gone, no thx. Just like the powder with paper called drywall vs plaster, osb vs plywood no contest, a cementitious product is bullet proof over wood if you can use it. Its about companies profit, we arent running out of trees, they plant more. The 3 little pigs story...
I am just starting out framing but I am too scared to layout top plates but I can install joists and rafters and not be scared does this get better with experience
For most people, the being too afraid to do certain things goes away the more you work at heights. Having a little fear, or as I call it a healthy respect for heights is a good thing. It’s usually the guys with a lot of experience who walk off the edge or fall through a skylight hole. By the way, the majority of fatal fall are between 6’ & 16’ off the ground.
It's stupid. Everybody is crazy with these blower door tests now so the walls and ceilings get plastic. The problem is it creates condensation that can't get out and rots the wood
Hey wild man your crew is killing me-do you have any say on when they can leave? Never seen a crew that leaves at the drop of a hat. Do they realize that they are jamming you into your deadlines? 🤨😡
wonder how the building is up there if you're getting work with the lumber prices so high... saw a guy in New Brunswick paying $70 for one 2x12x16' thats insane .. here they are going for $35 but they should easily be half that $16 or about a dollar per foot i think... hope you're doing well... I had been hearing the last couple years they were selling whole logs to china and i guess they got back milled lumber .. blah
Those are just temporary braces from when he stood the walls so that they don't blow over. The one a 3:00 is on edge which is stronger and the one at 8:50 is on the flat because it's quicker and easier to nail into the subfloor.
@@you552 Not the temporary diagonal bracing. I'm talking about a stud attached to the the top and bottom plates of those walls, but rotated 90 degrees to a normal stud. You'd normally do something like that in a corner. I guess it could be surface to attach a perpendicular wall?

@@TrogdorBurnin8or Oh that's a 3 stud corner or a California corner. It's the most common way to join walls. For interior walls its mainly for drywall backing but also gives a stronger structure. For exteriors it's an important structural component tying the webs together. You can also use horizontal blocks every 2 feet to join walls.
@@crosisofborg5524 I could never live in a neighborhood like that. You pay for a whole house and you don't get the privacy and the rooms are minuscule. I don't mind living in appartment complexes or close to other people, but I would want a yard and more space when spending my life savings
All these Canadian municipalities want as many houses as possible on postage stamp lots so they can claim ridiculous amounts of property tax revenue. Not to mention the developers who don't mind squeezing another 3 to 4 hundred grand out of another sold shoebox. You should see these streets after a huge snowfall and everybody fights for a place to pile snow.
@@brentlowe5196 omg I hadn't thought of snow! Here in Quebec city we get huge mounds of snow higher than the houses and the front yard are quite large.
How do you do it...Just memorize the blue prints or what...you got so much knowledge on what to do...why do you do everything by yourself...dont tell me it's all about the money...you have to be wore out...
I'm sure he has a drawing to reference. He's chalk lining the positions for the walls. Obviously a lot of experience and that makes a lot of this second nature to him.
He lays out the layout on the floor, and then he has so much experience, the guy is just on auto pilot. I am sure he studies every plan in detail and makes mental notes of anything out of the ordinary, but most of it is all the same basically.
As the plates are “laid” out that marks stud, door and wall intersections on the plates, a good carpenter also should write door heights/widths etc to make it as effective and efficient

When you are done with these two houses and have some down time you should do a video about reading blue prints.

Thanks!! That was a fast 13 minutes. What a beautiful beautiful sky!
My back twinges just seeing those steps again !! Your Brutal !!
@@framnerdan Aww does someone feel left out? CF would never write a comment like you did!! He’s simply the best!! I LOVE 💗 his videos 🙋♀️
Your right Chris I regret that comment
Amazing...! Superman..! I’ve watched all of your videos.
Please watch Amazing Framer if you have a few minutes
You're making it look easy again. :) Keep 'em coming and enjoy that well deserved beer.
Check out Amazing framer
After a long day Drywall hanging this is great beer drinking video relaxation! Thanks :D
Hey, I have been enjoying and learning from your videos (I plan on being a carpenter). Keep up the good work and be careful. Also, a tour of the house when your done?
Man you're the best I have seen on here
Take a peak at Amazing Framer channel. Amazing is a little much but Crazy was taken!
Wow he’s really sober for a framer!🤘🍻
He waits till he’s done to start drinking. That’s damn near a teetotaler for a framer.
You make it look like magic as if everything is pre marked or so. And what is that gap in the floor below the window in that other house? Thank you.
I saw you look at the plans for the first time today in a good couple of years.
I’m a full time carpenter, been framing houses for more years than I will ever admit to but I also have never drunk a beer or smoked a cigarette the whole time I was building

What tiny bedrooms. Makes me think of the dorms in college.
Starts raining and the soft boys head home, the workhorse Crazy Framer keeps going.

How come you do not use fire blocking on your walls?
How do you do the crowning of the studs? Do you just pre-crown?
Beautiful day!
Thanks you framer
What is the purpose of the plastic that there nailing in between the top?
Good work using the materials they give you. They even dont use real wood for rafters, osb engineered cheap junk.

No way I would leave before the guy who hired me, but that it just me.
Does anyone have the metabo pneumatic nailer? Any problems or is it good?
Why no attached garages CF?
hope the roof doesn't leak
What is that plastic barrier! That you put on the top of the interior walls and what does do?
Is for air sealing .
It’s also for moisture as the house “sweats” though temperature change and without the poly would stain drywall
It's stupid. Everybody is crazy with these blower door tests now so the walls and ceilings get plastic. The problem is it creates condensation that can't get out and rots the wood

Most just want the paycheck.
@@fhuber7507 unfortunately you are absolutely on point. That’s if you can find people that are willing to work at all.

Trudeau will gladly kill Canada to enrich China.
The walls on the left at 3:00 and again at 8:50 are braced with sideways studs. Why exactly? Is there a name for that? Is this common?
At 3 min it's an angle bracing to keep the outer wall plum, at 8:50 it appears to just be a board he leaned against the wall

How many nails do you go through on an average build ?!😆
I've actually heard that on average a house is built with around 70,000(70k) nails
You will never be out of work......but I think I would look for a less lazy crew.
notice you seem to mostly framing narrow houses, any reason for that?
Narrow and zero lot line. Must be really squeezing them in.
Most house builds in the Edmonton region are fairly narrow 2 stories. Probably just what most of the work is available for him to do I’m guessing.

Many of us like the longer videos.
