Framers fascinate me. I'm a finish guy! I'd just be done sharpening my pencil by the time this dude has dropped 80 sheets of plywood. Impressive as hell!
If you’re in your 30s and grunt and huff and ooff like an old man you’re the real deal, I can confirm this means you’re a professional, framing ages you
I had a 70 year old jackass foreman tell me I should be using my old 22oz waffle Estwing and not that new fancy hammer I bought. Glad to see a pro using the same one I upgraded to.
I thought that was a full sized nailer at first was gonna say your forarms must be jacked haha nice job i staple at the same speed and angle it like you i know alot of people dont even angle the staple guns were they join and usually only have half the staples go threw.
Young guys like to move fast, wait until 20 years from now, I started 40 years ago when everything was nailed with a hammer, now I am shot! Good thing I am retired
Shit, I'm only 30 and my body's already fucked from building houses & doing roofs since I was young. Mostly doing roofs that's screwed my knees & back but, I definitely feel it when I'm just framing or sheathing simple stuff like walls.
Pretty much any trade will wear you out if not done ergenomically (not always a choice). Many parts of my young days i wish i would have done smarter. Not worried about the .. Just get it done. I have all kinds of random problems these days.
It’s ok working at heights like that on an icy day but, when you sit back and actually think about what you are doing, reality dawns. I worked over there over thirty years ago also doing framing and remember one of the team telling me he was still paying off the $20,000 hospital bill when he fell off a roof and broke his leg. These days you could multiply this figure by at least 5x to get it to todays prices. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the work over there. I learnt a lot but went back to the UK as work was easier and of course- less risky. I never had the money while I was there for medical insurance but I certainly hope you have. Well done - good video.😊
Man I just hate having to repair bad ply wood decking that has been stapled. If people would learn how to install shingles it wouldn’t be a problem....but I know it will always be a problem
I framed like this for 20+ yrs, now my body is riddled with arthritis every joint in my body is inflamed and inpained, wouldn't trade the experience for anything though, enjoy that youthful body young man ,it grows old fast .
One side is rough and the other is smooth usually. Generally the rough side is the right side up cause you'll go sliding right off the roof if you were to use the slick side. Other than that not really.
Framing beast is the right name for you ! Damn.....Nice Boots...LOL I had a friend years ago who was a framer and when I asked him what he did for a living he said he was a "Wood Butcher" !
@@framingbeast720 yup thats you bro. Im not sure the brand of your forklift but i know it lol. I even helped you lift your second floor backwall a couple weeks ago. Ill come say what up tmrw.
here in California..that would be 3/4" plywood and the pitch would be at least a 7or a 8 /12 pitch for the snowload.....I just finished one in Big Bear ,Calif.....3/4 " ply..and a 12/12 pitch .... the wrap around patio with 3 layers ..5/8" t111 .5/8"drywall, 5/8"osb for fire protection...
Calif is out of control. Every year the engineering gets worse. Wait till next year after the fires and they add even more. Almost better to build a house out of concrete and steel rafters. The sprinkler systems are very expensive and mandatory. I dont know how anyone can afford to build in calif anymore. The cost of the house build /lot has to be way more than the mkt value when completed.
Being afraid of heights I find these videos scarier than any horror flick. I wish I could get over that fear, but pretty sure it’s too late for me. Great work though.
I worked with a framing crew for a summer when I was 19. Found it wasn't for me, so I switched to finish carpentry. Currently riding a desk as an engineer and miss working with my hands...remodeling my house makes me consider returning to the trade.
no wonder every time I go drop off the drills my apprentice break at the repair center there are carpenters nailer and stapler pilled up every where you guys use them as a hammer LOL.
I want to see the underside of all those sheets and wether or not this guy's just installing coat racks for the mice. I'm leary of anyone doing anything too fast.
That's why he Mark's out the top of every board with 3 staples , then starting from the top 2 feet and going up from the bottom 2 feet on the new board so he can see the invisible lines without missing a beat .
@@jazsambi2347 he means a chalk line horizontally across the rafters to ensure a straight 1st course...no need for a beast especially on a hip roof side
@@ericbstudios9807 ok but why even do that sheets straight to each other on the 4' butt end is a straight row . Why waiste the time for a string line that was already used for the tails on the trusses for the facia .
A chalk line is important for the first row cause on an angle the top of the plywood is not plumb with the bottom of the plywood this guy lines his plywood bottom with the sub fascia which makes the plywood top stick out past the sub fascia. Try popping a line at 48 1/4 on that pitch. More for steeper pitches
when were kids we play lego and kinects, then we use puzzles and then 3d puzzles and models and it goes on...this part of men comes from God's paternal nature printed into men hearts to become more than they knew they could be..by his grace
Glad we aren't required to use H clips where I'm framing. And after sheathing a house with plywood, I miss OSB. It curls up and gets all twisted and our current build, the subfloor is looking like crap.
@@framingbeast720 You breath like I breath at work. Really smart to do so. It's the type of work where you need to be conscious of your breathwork. Keep it up. I learn so much from you!
You watch too much news....go out and see for yourself, everybody's out here working. Just because someone's not on a roof or building houses doesn't mean they arent working.
CDX slippery first thing in the morning. Worked in the mountains doing spec homes most my life and always ran to make sure the roof was on by Oct. Couple times had to work in snow on the roof. Always was happy when a huge pile of snow on the ground piled up. Also only designed and built one story homes. Hated building 2 story homes.
To the OP, framing beast is also confident because he is smart and ropes up. Taking the one anxiety away from your mind by knowing for a fact you won't hit the ground is a game changer. I wish the company I worked for actually believed in using harnesses and fall arrest. It's the wiser way to work.
How do you know your trusses are on center without layout marked? Also without layout on the sheets, how do you know you are hitting the truss with the staples? Pretty cool.
You can usually tell by sighting the length of the truss. Most of the time if there’s no visible bow then it’s fine. Also there’s a little bit more recoil when you’re hitting the wood underneath the sheet when you hit it compared to when you miss. Just keep shooting a little to the left or right if you miss the first time until you find it and go straight up or down from there
Can't believe you're up there with no scaffold or safety rail. Over here in Australia we can't even stand trusses on an 8 foot high house frame, have to erect them from a ladder. Heavy safety restrictions here, ok didn't see your safety lanyard
I believe they are Dakota high tops with tarantula grip from Mark's work warehouse. That's where I get my'n and they look the exact same from what I can see.
This builder has always gone with 3/8 spruce. I personally prefer it over 7/16 osb mainly because you can get more out of a sheet since both sides can be face up....the added flex is a bonus too
Hawaii here, never seen that gun used for sheathing, we use 8s with hurricane clips. What nails are you using? Maybe it’s code for us to use 8s because of high winds with hurricanes and tropical storms 🤔 all in all great job! Fast paced work is always better then slow paced. When you go fast and deliver quality the day goes by quick and you can have a beer with no fucks giving cause you know you killed it! 🤙🏽🌴🤙🏽🌴

As a roofer I love how you pull your facia nails! Thumbs up!
crazy how they trust the staples instead of it being 8D"s
Crazy how it’s actually stronger and cheaper too
@@maedre3750 now dYS is about saving up
Here in Illinois, we have to use 2-3/8 ring shanks for roofs.
I am currently trying to redeck an entire roof done with staples and its much harder to rip them off than if it were done with nails
@@NoWheyHombre lol lucky cause down at florida keys they want 16d nails because of strong winds

Lotta old man grunts there Beast… i recognize cause i do them too 😁
Gotta love H clips
Walking the dog with that stapler- love it .
Mad skills man!
Just in awe! Thanks for sharing
I thought that was a full sized nailer at first was gonna say your forarms must be jacked haha nice job i staple at the same speed and angle it like you i know alot of people dont even angle the staple guns were they join and usually only have half the staples go threw.
So true..I angle the stapler because it catches the truss underneath with both prongs crossing the grains or the 3/8 ply and the 2x4 material
I'm going to invest in .Bostich staples. They'll never go out of business
🤣🤣
Very good building skill like it
FRAMING BEAST doin' it sunshine snow or rain!

Do you use med crown staples?

I like your cutman !!! Didn't hafta send a single piece back for a re-cut lol.
Are staples better for sheeting or are nails. I see you using staples but I've seen nails also is it what your given or do you have a preference
Its fast food of house building to use staples. They dont care if the roof separates in 15 years. Tear it down and build new.
I remember those days doing roof sheathing and ankles were shot to hell the next day!!!😂
Smashing it out 👌👌👌
These videos get me hyped
Where is that site? Always be safe anyway.
Down here we send full 3/4 sheets up

I here you there man my left knee is screwed
Ring shank only way to go imo especially if you live near gulf of Mexico.
Why is that? Galvanized staple not allowed?
Does it matter which side of the 4’x8’ sheet gets laid down? The ink side or the plain side gets faced down? Super quick nailing there, bro! Nice!
It does not matter in this region, As long as the inspector can see the stamp on a sheet or two thats's fine
One side is rough and the other is smooth usually. Generally the rough side is the right side up cause you'll go sliding right off the roof if you were to use the slick side. Other than that not really.
I just wanna know if staples are up to code in Arizona I just run a nail gun and shoot like this but the staple gun seems awesome if they hold well
You’re working like you own that company! Shiiiet
I think he does
Lol I do
In my opinion this mode of working is causing serious self harm.
Were you using staples? I thought that had to be done with regular nails.
what shoes are you wearing? I'm looking for a decent pair of work shoes. Safety toe would be nice. Thanks, Great vids too!

When you do the same thing everyday for so many years you’re going to build up speed and rhythm

You can feel the difference between a hit and a miss. Is very obvious.
@@framingbeast720
Yes you can feel it the trick is finding a guy who actually cares. 👌
Good technique using the nail on the facia.
shouldn't there be an 1/8" gap or a 8d nail width between sheets?
