My Dad & Grandfather did it for years, Dad still does, Grandpa hasn't in years! It's not as bad as it seems, it's not the fall that hurts, it's the landing!
My grandfather and father used to hang iron for a living. The old man use to walk across beams a couple hundred feet in the air in the days before OSHA and tie offs. No wonder they often took a couple nips before work. They all had balls of steel.
From one carpenter too another, love watching a well oiled crew bang out a house. Good work I’m currently re-framing a double brick home from the inside out by myself. Been working for myself, by myself for 5 years now, 15 year as a carpenter by trade. I love banging wood all day. Cheer boys looking forward to tomorrow’s vid 👍🏻
We used to hand nail a 2 story 4 bedroom colonial with a garage 2 flooring decks, windows and roof in the dry and all interior walls with 5 guys and 5 days.. don’t know how we did it without nail guns.. love your channel Matt 😊👍
love the videos matt! I get excited each time I see a new one has been released. As a fellow California boy that worked on several framing crews as a teenager I'm very happy to see your success in the trade, your energy and enthusiasm for your craft is very apparent in your work as well as in your videos.BANG ON BRO!
Can you explain to me how the i joist works when it starts on one side then the other side doesn’t line up and ones in front of the other? How does it end up 16 oc?
Nice one Matt, enjoying this 10day build. Although I’m a carpenter myself I still enjoy watching others to see how they do things and try get some tips for improving myself. Keep it up here from UK 🇬🇧 👊🏻
Jack, this build hasn't been too knowledge filled like I wanted, due to the fact that we're racing trying to get it built.. But I've got more instructional content on the way.
Watching from the UK, love the channel. One thing that strikes me is that our local authorities would never let you guys work at height like that, without a full scaffold around the whole of the building. Seriously, they would close the job site down. It's a different world, I tell you, and it's really interesting to see such a different attitude to risk when you compare our two countries. Keep up the good work, and stay safe!
Love seeing how different things are in the states and what names ya call things. We use cordless framer guns in Aus mostly. One thing I can't understand is how youse wear long pants. I'm from FNQ so it's the opposite of a nuns nasty up my way. Singlet, sock tan ripper mullet and a 30 block on the way home is usually how it goes Snap Box = Chalky Snap Line = Flick Line/Chalk Line Frames = Sticks Hat = Lid
THAT FRAMING reminds me of when I was a chef at an upscale resort restaurant in Montana; just being a Good Cook wasn't Good enough; you have to be fast!!

YOU MIGHT put a call out to local high schools and votecs for Interns (free labor) four week courses for hands on training. Even some production (camera etc.) students. That's a very valuable skill you have there and if an individual can read a ruler can pretty much teach it to anyone. Focus on quality of work and money will flow to you like breathing. If regulations and cost make it prohibitive post on FB your friends kids. I did plenty construction but framers are a select bunch. And despite several efforts of just walking up on jobs offering to clean up job sites but never could get in. It certainly docen't look all that hard but but some people seam to excel at it. Thats good work by the way. #Psalm19
That’s a cool idea about bringing out HS kids for a sort of ‘Advanced Shop Votec’ thing but you can only imagine the liability issues that would arise. And I can just see the school board wanting to tell Matt (or his dad) how things should go. It’s a shame that something like that couldn’t be worked out but, such is the day of litigation we live in. -“First, we kill all the lawyers” - Shakespeare 1591 🤜🤛
It's looking great, Matt! The progress you all make in hours is equal to what it takes me in weeks! How do you address the wall OSB swelling (after a rain, for example) between the edges of adjacent sheets that cause unevenness by ~1/8"-3/16"? Does that ever reflect through to say the siding installation?
Depending on the build, it’ll call for 3/8” on some shear sections and 1/2” on others. So we have differences anyways. Even after rain, it’s never noticeable in siding. 😊
If you don’t mind I would like to come out for a week when I’m not too busy and watch you start from lay out for a week and work for free to see How I can make my crew better
Many things can be done. If it’s terrible, 1”+, we’ll custom cut all studs, similar to how you would a rake wall. Shimming is done as well, but we’ve never had to. It’s either really good or really bad! We did a house last year that had (3) 2” dips on different spots on the house.
I've always said, age is just a number. I've framed with guys that are 40 with 7-8 years experience, but being 23 with 7-8 years experience "isn't the same". Just gotta run circles around people! Ya know?
Awesome video! I am really enjoying this build series and look forward to your posts. Are you using a external mic for your GoPro or are you just using the standard mic on the device?
I appreciate the fact that you like my channel.. I enjoy showing the reality of being a framer in California. Matt explains a lot of building science, which is really cool for builders! I personally can't relate, all I do is frame homes per plan. He's a good guy though!
Out here everyone uses Ring Shanks. All depends on the budget of the build, rarely ever are we asked to screw them down. Call out on plans is for 10d ring shanks.
Matt, Newbie here. How do you secure the second floor walls to the floor? What holds those walls in place? I see how you secure the first floor walls to the foundation with bolts but how do you secure the 2nd floor??? Thanks
Senco bought the use of the patent from a company called PneuTools. Same company that I have framing nailers from. 😊 This is the Rap A Nail 150 from PneuTools. Griprite and Senco both have similar builds.
Trust me, I didn’t want to! Only used 2 per sheet to tack down. Everything got nailed with rings as soon as possible. Our lumber drop was late 4 hours! Bad scheduling.

Hotter than balls today. I'm in the Bay Area. When it's hot here I know it's even hotter Where You Are. Good job throwing the sticks up in the air today.
Go the extra mile and yes overkill use marine plywood for closing in. Expensive yes, but gives better protection when leak issues happen. And as a subfloor under sinks toilets and other things that use and can leak water.
@ Jay Bloggs - 😆 Right! Could you imagine going to the owner with a change order: Owner - “What’s this?” You - “I thought marine plywood would work better in this area!” Owner - “Yea, you’re right. I like it! Who paid for it?” You - “☹️” 🤜🤛
@@psidvicious its discussed before build. I pulled off siding and vapor barrier to find a wall that needed to come off because water was finding a way to get behind barrier. A few extra bucks woulda prevented a whole wall from being removed and replaced.

YOU KNOW what else you might try to set you apart and really make you customers talk good about you? Tell them you used the scraps and BANGOUT a custom kids playhouse or doghouse or even a small shed for free. Thats about how much scraps you got left too if you knocked out all three. PRICELESS!! With your chops you could draft that out on a piece of wood and bang it out skipping lunch! Leave'em unpainted for them to do even. I just seen a small 10x10 or less shed on FB marketplace for $750 I know that ain't much more than a $100 of material there. Good luck buddy and great work. #KAG

Pro tip. Roll joist first and then put rim on. Easier to nail joist to wall and easier to walk plate
Can you explain to me how the i joist works when it starts on one side then the other side doesn’t line up and ones in front of the other? How does it end up 16 oc?
When you mark your 16sthe front goes ahead of your mark the back goes back

Hey Matt, your not required to install squash blocks beside the I - joists?
Plans will share the details SD
Only thing called out was the simple row of solid blocking along the center wall. No squashers on this little slam dunk!

What’s the staggered blocking in the middle of the walls for?
Just to keep things rigid!
So much easier to watch a video, than try and watch the guy training me. He got shit to do, and so do I. Now I can see why. Well done
Do you guys ever come to Tallahassee Florida?

How did you connect the overlapping joist on the center supporting wall 🤔❓
LSL block-line all the way down that center load bearing wall.
