“... or falls off the truck...” 😂 Paul knows!
Watching Stud Pack is like watching a really good TV series, I find it hard to wait for the next episode. The two of you have the best combination of knowledge, skill, and charm. My #1 favorite YT channel!
Agreed! I jump on these as soon as they come out. Always brightens up my day.
agreed im very excited to see the final walkthrough of this house.
Thx Janet 👍 much appreciated 💪👊
@@StudPack That pencil drawing has to be Will Farrell!!!
@@StudPack hey just wanted to let you know that ep 16 & 17 are in opposite places in the playlist for this remodel.
"I actually had to sell some of my amazon stock to buy this stuff last night"🤣🤣😭😭
I started laughing immediately. 😂🤣🤣
Sounds about right 🤣 - went to home depot and Lowes for some lumber for a project, walked out ! Those prices are crazy!!

As a former county building inspector for 10 years, i would guess 10 minutes. If Louisiana building is anything like Florida building, he's busy! Probably 20 plus inspections a day. Also, im sure you have a great repore with your building department. I always appreciated the care that the guys took to do a better job. Cheers and God bless Paul and Jordan. Great job!
I used to live in a house built in the 40's by a guy who was a welder. I think he found most of the parts for the house at work. I figured this out when I opened up the wall behind the kitchen sink after the sink clogged and I couldn't get a snake in. Just in the cabinet area under the sink, in the wall where four 90 degree elbows. All but one where totally not needed. My best bet is he had elbows and short pipe pieces so he Frankensteined it together.
Don’t you love finding that stuff 😂
As a drywall guy I want to thank you for the explanation on where the staples go in the insulation. Homeowners who are trying to save a few bucks are the worst about this. We always wind up pulling the paper back when measuring to make sure we're hitting the stud, or joist. Plus we glue and screw so when it's stapled over the studs we can't glue, which means nail pops are going to be an issue.
The last of the real Hands-on side Contractors!
Insulation press is Genius!
Not over kill , it's the best think for that job.. 😁😁Spot on 👍
Insulation trick I learned from experience. If you get the fiberglass fibers in your skin you can solve the problem with vinegar and a sponge or a wash cloth. Pour vinegar onto you applicator of choice and wide down the effected are. The acidity of the vinegar dissolves the fibers on contact. If by chance you get some of the fibers in your mouth or throat you can gargle with the vinegar and achieve the same result.
Large serrated ginsu knife, cheap dollar store type works fantastic, won't dull. Won't tear it clean cuts
I feel good watching things being done the best way possible
Seeing you guys handle that without gloves is already making me itchy 😂
Shorts in the attic with drywall, such a brave soul!
I found you guys while looking for a bathroom remodel video. That was months ago and my gf and I are hooked on these videos. Now I start the process of foot-tapping waiting on the next one!
Hey Aerro! Thanks for supporting the channel guys 💪🏼
Asking your watchers to add comments is great, it means that you care about the quality of your work and content. Great work guys.
If only all contractors were as good and caring as you.
Great job buddy
Thx 👍💪
A hint: on overhead insulation, you can use staples and fishing line to hold the insulation up as well without stapling the tabs to the side of the timbers.
This is quite a funny show to watch !
Up here in Wisconsin, we have to overlap the fold in the paper over the edge of the stud. Otherwise it doesn't count as a vapor barrier. Also, we have 16 inches of blown-in insulation in the attics. That is R-60...its a bit different. But, that is why codes change from state to state.
I had an electric inspection that lasted under 10 minutes. Our electrician put in a emergency disconnect outside during out upgrade and that was about all he looked at. He opened the breaker box and “needs some labeling, ok, let put on some stickers”. He could tell the work was quality and done right. My electrician was super happy and proud!
Looks like Will Ferrell to me. Loving the Stud Pack content from the UK, keep up the good work!
Insulation press supper awsome idea👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
27 minutes for the inspection! Hey And a big shout out to Canada. Total respect for keeping it real and done right.
Cool thx Drew 👍 4 minutes 😳
Is there anything you can't do? You're my new hero. I've done a lot of renovating with my dad as well, and it's been fun and educational. You just seem to have a simple and logical solution to everything. Funny thing about climate. You insulate to keep heat out of your houses, we do it to keep the heat from leaking out. From a fan in Denmark 😁
You guys should get more recognition and make a ton of money. What you are really showing is how to work smart, hard and creatively.
13 minutes?? The same amount of time my wedding was! Been married to the same bride for 36 years now.
That's awesome. Congrats!
Today is our 31st 👍💪
@@StudPack Congrats!
Video production has been noticeably better on the last couple videos, guys. Not that it was bad before, but It's at a new level lately. Keep up the good work!
I hate doing insulation. Hate it.
Man, i miss my little hometown down there. Haven't been there in 16 years. Laffitte La, was so nice living across the road to the bayou. Knee boarding and fishing every weekend.
I have a pair of Buchanan crimpers I got about 35 years ago, and I still use them. My father in law taught me how to do electrical and that's what he used. I like them.
I love Stud Pac TV! I would guess the inspector was there ten minutes in total? Wow, I learn so much from you guys! Love the insulation jig idea as well! Please keep the videos coming. It's better than a TV series! Love you guys.
Im glad I found your channel!
You are very good in front of the camera.
You should think about doing a blooper episode. I actually learn more from a mistake.

Papa stud is a legit natural at this on top of a great contractor his narrating is like he was born to do this but love the channel I have watched almost every single show since I found this channel
I’ve seen blown in insulation in attics here in SW Michigan 15” - 21” deep .. I was working in an attic a few years back and pulled back some insulation and found an old 18V DeWalt drill in one area and a jigsaw in another area the owner said they must have belonged to the previous owner …. You never know what you’ll find in an attic when you peel back insulation
Plenty of stories about houses being sold with cash, gold, jewelry, assets... hidden in the roof or walls.
You guys should look into a insulation knife. You can pretty much cut in place and really speeds up production. Great content and awesome to see this channel grow
A bread knife works just as well.
@@Brown969 I use an old electric turkey knife. I cut a lot of foam with it too. long blade with a blunt end so it never damages anything behind it.
You never lied, its long enough makes straighter cuts, but you have to keep it sharpened I worked at a company insulating and I got in a habit of just randomly hitting my blade just because I hated insulation, the less I messed with it the better, me and co worker always competition who can cut faster, OMG I hated that job, hell to the nah ever again, I was young and stupid then, old enough now I don't look forward to insulation I sub it out 🤣
Funniest thing ever, my ex girlfriend at the time washed this hoodie I'd wear everyday as a covering from the demon fiberglass, problem she washed her underwear and bras with it...
OMG she was pretty raw... Yeah not a happy camper at all 😂😂😂
neat aligning the kick drum with the hammer blows. great video production value. great channel. helpful.
Jordan is awesome 👍👍
For your insulation jig if you have an old turkey knife it will work wonders. I use one to cut foam but it will do the same with insulation. You can cut in place with it also. You get about 10" of blade with a round tip so it will not damage the drywall behind it.
I've been watching u for months and didn't even realize u were in Louisiana dude I've been needing a good contractor to group up with sometimes and u are a GOOD! lmk man I work all around New orleans,Houma,and laplace
Good old boys have not only common sense but best ideas 👍great work
I’m in New Orleans and Pensacola and I use only spray foam or mineral wool, mineral wool is far superior to fiberglass in pretty much every way, it’s also an amazing sound barrier
Hooray!!!
A 20 minute video hitting 30 minutes before I'm off to work
Ready for the pun, "I'm installing my like right here 👍👍👍
Good Morning MK3! Thanks for the early support 💪🏼💪🏼
@@StudPack That jig means you are working smarter not harder
Great bit of design 👍
Nice music too
@@therealdojj Pro tip...watch on 1.25 speed. Allows time for more stud pack videos!
Nice cutting tool did see one like it before but not as long with so many Hinges
In NewEngland now putting paper facing out side wall, thought being stop cold air getting into to wall
I seen shows saying only one vapor Barrier, then go on talk about air sealing - I think no Air equal No water
I can see no waters does not mean not air seal
Actor in the painting looks like Ray Liotta
Wish I would have thought of that insulation press when I was insulating my house!! That is great.
Pure genius with press.
Ya know.... if you moved the kerf to left a bit...and then added one of those measuring tape stickers to the right of the kerf on the inside with the zero on the kerf... that could be a real thing. The user wouldn't have to make multiple kerfs. You could make it out of aluminum or even plastic. I'm sure you could sell a few. Awesome.
Only 10 minutes
That make-shift ladder is worth big money now! Great guidance on the insulation installation.
I've been watching you for quit some time love the work that you do with your son I say the inspector was done in 15 minutes. Keep up the good work.
My guess was 3 minutes and I bet it was less than that if the inspector knows their work.
hey guys ... a ton of talent. I was a professor of art and design for many years. good job. and also build. so keep doing everything
I've used an insulation cutting jig with two 2x4s on each side of the cross cut clamping down and a wire pulls up through the gap. Most wire (coat hanger) will work harden and break, so I'd recommend using a cable sold for hanging picture frames. Of course a utility knife will do just fine too, but sometimes it's just nice to build your own tools.
you guys work gr8 together , work ethic is great , and I enjoy the comedy also
You have great solutions!
The paper is meant to act as a vapour barrier. Up north we'll see it stapled. We don't use paper in Canada anymore but we do use plastic as a vapour barrier that will hold the insulation in. Pretty hard to do on a remodel. Your press is pretty fancy. You should get an insulation knife, which is pretty much the same as a bread knife. I think your inspector was in there for 12 minutes.
Yep bread knife and rock wool
13 mins inspection, probably most of that was chatting! Loved the insulation hedge!!
Necessary is the mother of invention. Great Idea!
Always make things not only better and easier but enjoyable. God bless yall
Awesome schooling on how insulation is supposed to be done correctly good job boys
I use an 8" kitchen carving knife to cut insulation. Keep it sharp. Been using it for 20 years. Utility blades just aren't long enough and you end up ripping more than cutting.
Try out Lowe's Johns Manville insulation next time you insulate. White, very dense, itch free and a pleasure to work with.
definitely a young James Caan Sonny Corleone days... 8.5 minutes for the inspector and awesome jig boys ...you guys are top shelf at everything you do thanks for all the great videos
Inspector was on site for about 15 minutes!! Great job 👏
I really love this show, please try thinking of naming each project and number each video in order. It takes me out of order each time
👍
Great job gang keep up the great work your inspector was in there for 7minutes and 29 seconds
Love it man I'm sure festool never thought of that.!!
Insulation henge for the win!
I'll say 21min, as long as this video. That includes a ~5min coffee break.
Awesome!!! 14 minutes and Randy Quaid? Keep up the great work fellas!! 👍👍👍😁✌🏻🇺🇸
That's awesome you pressed it
Makes it easy to cut.. I've actually pressed it similar way and sliced with razor blades but I can't buy good razor blades no more seems like .. Thumbs up
awesome job guys!! but if you woulda made 'the stud press' just 6 inches wide, just enough to fit the jig and compress the insulation where your ripping, it would have done the same job and been much more portable
Cool thx 👍
Love the jig!
Love your videos. Suggest getting a OLFA knife instead of the traditional smaller blade knives. Blades can be extended about 4 inches for cutting insulation (eg: you could have used that instead of jigsaw).
2-3 inches of blown in insulation. Wow. I'm building a house now in south-eastern Canada in we have R60 in the attic. That's 22.15 inches of blown in! Keep up the great work and the entertaining and interesting videos guys!
EDIT: Wait, I just played the next 30 seconds! Leave it to you to already know about the specs up here lol. Love it!
Thx Josh 👍😂
Cold fill appliances only here in the UK. Inspection 6mins and was that Michael Madsen. Nice jig.👍
Nice job with the jig! I'm itching after watching this video.
Great jig! Will Ferrell!
Always learn something watching your videos. Thank you guys 👍
You got it thx👍💪
I’d say he was there exactly 16 min and 38 sec. keep it up love the vids
7:00 I used a pair of gardening shears, works great.
Oddly satisfying... Great team work!
0:41 What dish detergent do you recommend I use in my washing machine while doing dishes in it? As a contractor I get it, but it is always funny to hear someone else do it.
Weekly greatness! Thank you!
5 minutes he was there. Because you awesome guys dot the I’s and cross the T’s.
Kick ass. He was there for 14 min
You should be using rock wool for the lower walls, better if you are ever flooded. Nice jig, but a good bread knife works just as well
I love the insulation jig. I experienced all those problems you mentioned.... many times.
Inspector 7 minutes.
Just started watching recently and really enjoy videos. Going to work through your library of videos now that we are in lockdown (Covid you know)
Wow! I was surprised to see a jig saw for cutting insulation -- but it's a nice clean cut. Inspector - 10 minutes. Will Ferrell
Thank you for the jig idea.. great video and innovative construction ideas!!
Thx Mark 👍👊
Here's a tip the wife will hate but it works really well cutting fiberglass batts. Use an electric carving knife. It cuts thru that stuff like butter and the cut is very clean.
12 minutes,you guys do awesome work 👍
Damn you took my second time too
Good idea.
Honestly even with a "warm weather" its a matter of energy transfer, so even when you're in a hot location, insulating more will lower the AC usage.
When he said he can't imagine using spray foam in the south I literally did a "Double take" spray foam is costly but it's the most efficent and effective form of insulation out there and can be use in really any climate the amount you use does decrease if you're not in freezing climate but it's still "night and day" when compared to "the pink stuff"
It takes about R-45 to negate radiant heat from a hot roof.
I'm guessing 12 minutes in and out, excited for the end results!
Not sure if US pink is different than Canadian, I've never seen pink with paper backing. Up here we either spray foam, or use pink with plastic as vapor barrier. Tape over joints and specific boxes for anything on exterior walls.
Also found just pressing the pink with a straight edge like a 2x4 or plywood works very well with a full snap-off utility knife and something softish like another 2c4/piece of ply behind it.
Looks great thanks guys
Knowing you’re quality work, 11 minutes. In and out. That doesn’t include he time it took for you to autograph his hat. :)
You took my time I swear lol so ima go with 12 mins and that's 12 mins and his out the front door way.
@@ItaBspicy you beat me to it, I was going for 12 minutes. 😂
10:53 really like using my m12 stapler for doing insulation, amongst other jobs it can do, but was surprised at how nice the stapler is when First got, and so glad I did, especially since I paid $49 for it on a deal.
Everyone’s fav part of the job, going up into an attic or crawl space in the south…..especially from July - September 🥵
THAT JIG is pretty SICK💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻, might take a few for making jigs for a job; but the time saved afterwards, can be worth every minute during fab😉
Great Job guys!
Love the tips, guys! I'm guessing 12 minutes and Will Farrell.
I made an insulation cutting station too. Differenced is mind is only 2' long set on a long work table that has a tape attached. Where the cut happens doesn't move. Instead the factory cut end is placed on the length needed. Much faster. I would not like having to cut the OSB for every length needed. That's super slow imo and would chew up that OSB. 15:50 back to cutting without the jig.
23 minutes
Might I recommend a duct knife for your insulation cutting you may need to enlarge you cut in the osb but it would save from a power cord and jigsaw each cut. But excellent design and great work guys thank you for quality work which so many people will not do.
I was told when younger, people don't know a bad contract because they never had a good one a few I stand behind that 100%
