Thank you! You’re welcome have a good Sunday.

Yeah I am. Our colours are not like yours. However I am going to Vancouver a few days at the end of the week. The colours will be awesome there. Rainy though. Bye for now.

Yeah it is. The mud sill (2x4 set in the forms) is installed via a laser before the foundation is poured. Good catch though. Thanks for watching.

Thank you! Appreciate the comment. Enjoy the your day.

Yeah that is just one of the benifits of framing.

Welcome! Blown away….good term seeing as that it tends to be windy here. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Mark. We are enjoying our Thanksgiving. We do this a little sooner than you. Thanks for hanging around.

@@framnerdan Dan, after I sent message, I remembered your thanksgiving. I hope you had a great break and enjoyed family. I'll have to send you picture of completed pocket door, it turned out great. Take care.

Mine is a Bosch. A cheap one, it works well. You get what you pay for. Don’t be afraid of spending a little on this tool. The laser level is one tool that drastically changed framing for me(for the better). The more I used it the more tricks I learnt. Thank you for watching.

I don’t know! There was several of us in Lethbridge. There is nothing like the ambiance of solo framing. Solo framing allows for such a clean and clear mind. Solo framing allows you to remove the “hurry up framing” and creates slow and steady framing. I actively tell myself to slow down thru the day which actually makes progress faster. Hard to explain and takes time to understand. I love it.

Your welcome. Thank you.

K. How did you get the height of the piles to calculate your post length? Thank you for watching.

@@framnerdan level from the pier too the house and make a mark. Measure up the wall from that mark too the line that is the bottom of the rim...that is the length of the post. If you nail the rim on the wall, complete with nangers before you raise it you will then know the length too the bottom plate. You won't need to get on a ladder and measure up the wall. This will make the needle rise on the amazing meter.

Holy! Big kind words. Thank you.

Wow, thank you for your comment. Have an excellent day and week. Bye for now.

Really. Don’t know what to say about that. Thanks for watching though.

Is it now?

@@framnerdan I took a while but it finally started working. I think that is an important part of doing these videos.

Thank you!!

It tends to blow a lot here. Specially in the winter. However it is what gets our temperature above freezing thru the winters.

Oops I will change that thank you! Thank you for watching

Hi Mark. Thank you. This weekend is thanksgiving for us northerners. Take care

Ouch well said though. It tends to blow a lot in winter. Keeps our temperatures warmer though

I’m Dutch eh! Rotoring May cost a tad more😳. Thanks for the comment.

You’re welcome.

Thank you!

I believe zip is so popular due to its over all R-Value properties. Also some waterproofing. Ply wood and house wrap is just as good regarding water infiltration. Idk much about insulation and what not tho.

I would like the zip system. We always get our windows with jambs. So it could affect the cost of windows or finishing. Is the Rvalue good?

I had a framing partner way back but we both built our own homes on the side. Got tired of tracking hours so each started framing solo.

​@framnerdan im a framer working for someone else right now, what steps should I take to get my own homes to frame?

Don’t know how long you been framing. If it is busy where you are it is a good time to make the jump. Reach out to a builder, lumber yard, or truss plant and ask if they know of anyone looking for a framer. They would love to recommend a good framer.

​@framnerdan only 2 years so I'm not 100% confident I could go for one myself but I would love to try at some point in the future, I guess I'll know when I'm ready

@Np.0413 Yes you will know remember your building your name already. People in your area are aware of you. Just keep framing and learning. I promise you are learning more than you know. This is not a blanket statement you truly are learning more than you know. Keep it up. I don’t know you but you got the right attitude. Proud of you!

Pull it open and install the insulation. Only a few staples holding it in place.

No sorry I do not.

@@framnerdan no problem

Yeah I have thought about it. Like working alone though.

Just tug it loose from the few staples holding it

Thank you Dave

No kidding eh.

Your welcome

🤙

Your welcome

They pour it in the concrete. We call it a “mud sill”.

We have to seal the home. Where cold air meets warm air we must have a vapour barrier. Otherwise moisture builds up.

So you don't have to pull your hair out when the cutter keeps making the wrong cuts.

@@tonygristina4860 😂😂😂

More profit per job, no headaches when someone doesn't show up or makes a mistake. If you're okay with reduced safety then it's an attractive option.

Because he can. 😂

Man it is so rewarding and easy by yourself. I feel the replies say it best!

Colorado. Want to see some of that state some day. Thank you

Your welcome Mo

Yeah i think that would have worked. What is a stem wall?

@@framnerdan It's the part of the foundation that rises up off the footings, which you bolt your walls to.

You too Mark. Take care

Thanks sailor guy! Thanks for watching.

Thank you. I should get a mic.

Good evening. Sorry but not looking right now.

Man so easy to deal with at framing stage!! Thanks for watching.

I move slowly And carefully.

@@framnerdan I’ve paid close attention to you Dan you’re a talented person but I’ve seen a lot of accidents on the job site in my 70 years. God Bless and keep you safe.

Sometimes I prefer it alone half the accidents come from others. Now with my dad it is great joking and laughing and neither had to ask what the other was doing it is like a dance my son is now coming along quickly but he is a little young yet

Thank you JG

Sounds like a great time in your careers.

I look it up. Paselode dosen't make a 7/16" ;-)

It is 1/2”

My kids do have a strong work ethic and are not afraid of work. Thanks for the comment.
