1. It’s impossible for new guys to put it on the wrong side of the line. I have seen that happen at least 5 times. 2. It helps when laying out plates (see our wall plating video) 3. It makes standing walls quicker and easier. We build all our walls, and then stand all our walls at once. Both sides allows you to properly nail it to the floor on T and Corner intersections. (Where another wall buts into it)

@TomLinehan-d7d he didn't have too. He did direct measurement

He dropped the ridge down flush with truss rafters, which accounts for the ridge thickness.

Glad to be useful!

Thank you!

That does work, but I feel like it looses most of its hold down power. And this is easier.

🤙🏼

Im guessing your are watching a low quality version of the video? It is a 2 by 6 plate. The foam gasket is all that is required in our area. (The Midwest) The wood that touches the concrete is treated.

Thank you! If you are stapling the tubing to foam, you can chalk out the walls on the foam before installing the tubing. I have seen builders avoid running pipes under walls, but it’s not really worth it, and one change order can invalidate all the extra effort. Relief cuts are no big deal as they do not get close to the pipes.

Actually both "at the two-foot mark" and at the two feet mark are proper grammar. I believe that since you are not technically measuring but just using the mark as a reference mark "two-foot" is proper. English is a very complicated language with many exceptions and curiosities, no?

Thank you!

Interesting.

In the trades, it is FOOT. Period. Not a writing class. You buy four foot sheet of lumber. Not four feet sheet. Go back to skiing

@@Lets_Go_Canes you're creating a different context than what he said in the video in the beginning. "Gotta get your laser out two foot." NO! "Gotta get your laser out two FEET!" Go back to school, neanderthal.

Glad to be useful!

You wouldn’t believe the concrete work we have seen. Different GC’s have different standards. Yes you must make to perpendicular reference lines to chalk out the basement.

Thank you!

Do you keep it attached for the whole time chalking?

If you touch a roll of Tyvek the wind will start blowing. If you start talking to a camera the sawzal comes out.

​@@LevelUpFramingOh ok thanks 🤣

Nice tip!

I definitely recommend watching our plating video. By marking to L or U block direction on the top plate, it works out very well. North/South work great tho!

😄he kept saying his hands were full.

How do you hook onto a hole? Would you have to drill a hole for every snap?

We buy the blueberry chalk with extra protein 👌🏻👌🏻. Keeps us improving.

Wdu mean?

Right on

I felt the same way when I first learned the right way. 🫡

Thank you! We are glad to be useful! I’m glad to hear from someone in the field.

Thank you!

The laser is awesome! There is a 5-dot laser for 170 that squares corners as well.

Thank you!!! Glad to be useful! Yes that is unfortunate. I think people will understand.

1. It’s rare for a shifted truss to land on a sheeting seam. 2. You’re already shifting trusses to avoid plumbing drops. 3. If it does land on a seam, it takes 3 minutes to nail on a 2x4x16 to the side of the truss (on the side you shifted it on).

Yes, math is the language of the universe.

Thank you for the encouragement!

😅not sure how to take this comment. Were you able to grasp the work flow?

The framer who is proud about their contribution to society.

I felt the same when I learned I was doing it the wrong way. 😅 Here’s the logic: (it doesn’t weaken the truss) 1. It’s rare for a shifted truss to land on a sheeting seam. 2. You’re already shifting trusses to avoid plumbing drops. 3. If it does land on a seam, it takes 3 minutes to nail on a 2x4x16 to the side of the truss (on the side you shifted it on).

I felt the same way when I learned the right way. Just hear me out: 1. It’s rare for a shifted truss to land on a sheeting seam. 2. You’re already shifting trusses to avoid plumbing drops. 3.

Funny how California is a common name for various framing components. We do not block between the trusses for this.

We would love to hear your reasoning, if you don’t mind sharing.

well you must have mastered both measurements then. living in the UK and being able to grasp imperial is a good thing lol

I assume you meant “can’t”. Thank you, and yes, metric is good for the soul.

💪🏼

Building stuff is awesome! Thank you for the encouragement. Hope your back is doing better.

@ it has been doing a lot better in regards to low level day-to-day activities. So my mobility has improved greatly. It's not dependable enough yet but I'm definitely working every day towards that goal. I also thank you for the encouragement. Take care now.

We wish.

One of the best tools in the belt!
