Its heart-warming that Jamie can talk about his hand around others in a light-hearted, humorous way. The doctor-support team (nurses, tecs, specialists) never get paid enough. Most of them do it because of their dedication to their fellow citizens. Its humbling to witness how people overcome their handicaps.
Jamie, it looked to me like that construction calculator said your stud length should have been 107 7/8", not the 107 1/8" as mentioned in the video @12:40. Was the camera lying to me? EDIT: Of course, I see that Eric caught the error... Good job, Eric!
I loved seeing the Arlo content - his years of experience interjecting tips all the time. Now, it’s great watching y’all teaching Max on the site. So much patience and how-to. This is such great content
That letter is nostalgic. My dad was a building drafter/designer for decades and his handwriting is exactly like that to this day. Don't worry, I can't bloody read it either sometimes.
I have to say Jaime really thinks things through. I like his method of tackling projects. He really wants to eliminate snags that could cause a delay or delays on the project. Hats off to the Perkins Bros. & company. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Friends; your videos are top high like a high IMDb TV series, each episode awaited impatiently. You are not just building a home but also entertaining people. What you are doing is priceless. 🎉
it’s amazing the weird stuff that transfers across disciplines. i sew as a hobby (not a woodworker… yet!) but i’ve taken to marking my fabric measurements in a similar way to how you do measure marks for your cut lines. it’s been surprisingly helpful!
Pro Tip! Don’t leave anything long term on the stamped concrete while it’s still curing. It will wick out the moisture and leave a shadow outline of whatever was placed on it.
Using explaining to Max as a means to going over how you operate and recording it for your videos seems like an awesome opportunity. Great video yet again, dudes!
It’s nice to see you guys building headers this way because last place I built had boxed headers filled with insulation just like you guys did here and like I’ve always done it in the past. The building inspector walked through everything and said it’s all perfect except last minute as he walks out asked what’s in between the headers. I explained and he asked if there’s any blocking connecting both sides nailed together on both sides of the 2x10 or is it just hollow with insulation. I said no it’s hollow, he didn’t like that. After standing around scratching our heads with him on an easy way to fix it… which there really isn’t, he let it go and said next time add blocks and nail from each side to make it a “solid member” even though it was nailed top and bottom. Can’t really argue with an inspector can only work with them
I was taught years ago the fast way to mark boards for drill spots. Just set the board in place on top of the bolts, then wack it on the top of the board. That will mark an impression on the board where the drilling needs to be done.
Stud heights. I would use Tim's trick. Using the suspended caulk line and get an unique length for each individual stud height. This accounts for any variabilty at floor level and slab level simultaneously. Tim = awesome framers.
I now understand what y'all are doing with the transition of the cliff on the higher elevation...very clever and a Great use of available space , keeping as much of the land for building
I would be putting flooring protection down over the entire concrete slab for the duration of the build so it doesnt get damaged. Walking dirt covered boots onto it will scratch it to pieces over the full build, or just one dropped tool and its game over
Most jobs our company does call for Hilti/Simpson anchor bolts that allow you to just hammer drill into the concrete and start the layout wherever it's convenient. So we don't use double bottom plates unless the gypcrete is tall enough to interfere with hanging dry-wall, which doesn't typically happen on a concrete floor.
Ive never seen the crew so excited to do ANYTHING with the walls! haha! Everyone laying sill seal, measuring bolt spacing, marking plates....you guys are awesome!
I like the old-fashioned way of put the board on the anchors and give it a good old whack. Wherever the depressions are are exactly where the the bolts need to go. Thank you, Larry Haun
Yay for wood! And I love the sponsor ads with the spoilers! Noticed the SP team in the background! It was great getting to meet them at 1 mil sub celebration! Be safe guys ~ ❤
As an EMT I used those Raptor shears a lot and they are the real deal. They aren't cheap so I hope you guys take care of them. They really do cut through about anything.
You guys should really check out the Bosch SpeedCut drills. They cut like BUTTER because it has a screw in the center that PULLS the drill through the wood. I honestly didn't think there would be such a dramatic difference between a regular flat-bit drill and those but they are insane!
Hi Jamie and team! I just wanted to say I think your hand looks rad, of course you'd probably rather have your fingers but I think it just looks awesome like this, almost like some terminator type hero lol.
This is 100 times better than watchin any series on any other platform...all fun , no drama and lots of education, is really great to watch and learn from pros like you... By the way Jamie almost squashed Jono at 15:10
Great to see stud walls going up!!! And, I am getting ready to set some sill plates (Never done it before, either. So... your explanation of how to do it is real timely!!). Wish me luck!!
I get so ridiculously excited when a new video drops. It's a video of some blokes building some stuff, yet here I am, giddy at the prospect of watching some blokes build some stuff 🤷♂️
For extra air tightness, consider laying a bead or two of sealant on both sides of the sill gasket as its primary role limits wicking if Im not mistaken.
ill be honest i love watching the video's as they come out but cant wait till we can watch a start to finish view think its going to be another amazing build . thinking its going to be around 80 video's by the time its done.
Hello guys, amazing...from now on we will see faster progress in the construction. This math used to calculate the height gave me a headache. I am following this mega construction step by step. Big hug to the whole team here in São Paulo - Brazil.
Hey guys as always I love your videos it’s a high light of my week jus some friendly advice about the tower here in the uk we have to have training on construction of the tower you too had rails should be on the inside and the lower one should be just above the short ends the reason for the hand rails being on the inside is if you to fall they could pop out if the clip end has failed but if to pole is in the way you wouldn’t fall hope this makes sense great work tho guys cheers John
Man, bothe the banging on the nut tip and the foam cutting tip are like small but awesome protips Eric because you can use them in so many situations, gj!
When tape was cut on concrete(@ 03:24 time) - pro tip - it is better to cut it @ angle, as then it will be loger edge for watter to travel through (cnsidering it was squeezed) rather when it is straight :)
Enjoy watching your videos. Great editing, great hats, enjoy the humor, enjoy seeing the mountains, and love everyone’s personality and to learn something new everyday. Is your family related to Francis Perkins? She worked as Secretary of Labor for President FD Roosevelt
It’s so good to know that you are actually going to be using hammers, nails & screws to build with wood yeah. It has seemed to us out here this has taken forever to get to this stage but no fear the Perkins Builders Boys are here. I know that I’m going to enjoy this part of the build as I imagine the homeowners are as well. Keep them coming to entertain us love you guys ❤❤❤
😊 excellent video as always. Now retired, I loose track of days. Spent all day yesterday waiting for you guys just to realize it was Wednesday. Beautiful work & job site.
Another great video, I find it interesting that you frame without the anchor bolts going through both plates with the washer on top of the KD plate of the wall, in New England its common practice, our building department would never allow nailing the wall bottom plate to the pressure treated plate as the only connection, it would be considered in adequate even with the plywood attached to the pressure treated plate, (yes I understand different requirements per state) thanks for the great content you have a great channel.
happy your into the wood. Interesting, In California ya have to use Square washers on those plates - the round ones just crater into the wood during an Earthquake allowing the wood wall to shift like crazy.
Should always square the foundation up and snap lines on the inside, instead of keeping the pressure treated plates flush with the outside of the foundation or slab. No matter how square you think you got it during forming
I agree completely. Having the wall straight is very important. Snap the line and work to the line. I snap a line 6' inside the building line and then make sure the outside of the framing is is offset from the snapped line.. Have been doing that for over 30 years,
I think that the OSHA Fall Safety law does not allow workers to be on scaffolding higher that 4 feet while it is moving. However, that might have been changed since the law was re-written in the late 90's. Many companies use scissor lifts or extension booms (Genie) to keep their workers safe while moving.
After my career In firefighting ended after 17 years I built a custom house with a friend last year. Being 46 I quickly realized how hard building is on your body I was in shape and it still recked me. I give it to you guys it’s tuff on the body. Almost everything is awkward going against proper lifting mechanics. Do you get used to it or not?
Wood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what she said.
only took 20 episodes for y'all to build a wall :P
And thank you PDS for giving us spoilers on how the build is commencing 😉 👍
Haha
Wood 🥳

Noticed that myself and had a mild panic!
The boys need an optometrist video sponsor. 😂
Or a speaking calculator 😂@@rossmatheson4303
I just got my reminder postcard from the eye dr. today so when I saw 107 7/8 I looked 3 times!
Same here is said 7/8
Hooray framing at last, I love watching framing. 😊
The difference from the end of the video to the advert in the middle is wild, really starting to take shape now that the wood is going up.
I had to fast forward because I don't like spoilers.
That advert was a crime....😂, show us that progress and finish the video with 2 walls......😂
Yeah, there’s a lot of bait on the hook. 🐠
My brain cannot reconcile why seeing 3 stud walls up feels like so much more progress than all of the civil and concrete work to date.
That's why building stud walls is so much more fun😆
Visual progress is always the most rewarding part of any project.
They also put all the plates on the top and bottom, plus all that measuring! The build will go a lot faster now.
Man, I almost forgot you guys worked with wood. 😂😂 So good to hear the nail gun going again. :)
OMG that comment is fire!
I loved seeing the Arlo content - his years of experience interjecting tips all the time.
Now, it’s great watching y’all teaching Max on the site. So much patience and how-to.
This is such great content
I'm always disappointed when these videos end. I just can't get enough! 😍
That’s “re-markable”. Jamie always has the best one-liners. Clever and funny 😂
That letter is nostalgic.

100% chalk line and string…dead nuts
Love watching the entire process, with all the challenges and complications so far. Bring on the framing and flooring etc...!!
I now understand what y'all are doing with the transition of the cliff on the higher elevation...very clever and a Great use of available space , keeping as much of the land for building
Pro tip for yall. Bring along an angle grinder with really any disc on it, and use it to erase marks on your plates when you want to start fresh!

Hilti power tools are the beast of power tools, and darn reliable to boot...

Now we're getting somewhere. We'll done guys it's coming along nicely 👌 🙏🙏🙏
All the best from Thailand 🇹🇭
Finally some wood! I can't wait to see this HUGE house
Yay for wood! And I love the sponsor ads with the spoilers! Noticed the SP team in the background! It was great getting to meet them at 1 mil sub celebration!
Be safe guys ~ ❤
Max is learning from the best, but definitely drinking water from a fire hose right now! :)
As an EMT I used those Raptor shears a lot and they are the real deal. They aren't cheap so I hope you guys take care of them. They really do cut through about anything.
I enjoy watching you, professional carpenters do your work.
Thanks, guys, for the fun times while watching your video! KUTGW
Between Eric and Jay they have inspired me to start my own TH-cam Journey... Thank you for the great content :) Keep It Up!!!
Your channel is awesome !!!!
Y’all finally get to frame. Your debt relief ad gave a sneak preview with the walls and trusses up. Very cool.
You guys should really check out the Bosch SpeedCut drills. They cut like BUTTER because it has a screw in the center that PULLS the drill through the wood. I honestly didn't think there would be such a dramatic difference between a regular flat-bit drill and those but they are insane!
Hi Jamie and team! I just wanted to say I think your hand looks rad, of course you'd probably rather have your fingers but I think it just looks awesome like this, almost like some terminator type hero lol.
...Always look forward to the woodworking bit...Cheers from Fiji...
So happy to see framing going up!!!
you know how it goes, when you have a off from remodeling/rehab houses and you start your morning with building videos.. awesome!
This is 100 times better than watchin any series on any other platform...all fun , no drama and lots of education, is really great to watch and learn from pros like you...
By the way Jamie almost squashed Jono at 15:10
Happy to hang out with you guys. Be safe and take care.
I had the same issue but I cut every stud a different length to the laser and had a perfectly lever floor.
You guys should use the square washers for that. They have better holding strength than the round ones do.
I was thinking that too.
40 cents vs. $2.50 ea. and they meet code.
I could watch you boys everyday. Amazing chemistry and so skilled at your craft
Thank you 🎉
Great to see stud walls going up!!! And, I am getting ready to set some sill plates (Never done it before, either. So... your explanation of how to do it is real timely!!). Wish me luck!!
I get so ridiculously excited when a new video drops. It's a video of some blokes building some stuff, yet here I am, giddy at the prospect of watching some blokes build some stuff 🤷♂️
Nuts and wood....I'm in!
💀
It never gets old does it? Timeless humor that makes me chuckle every time
@@moxielouise For sure!
For extra air tightness, consider laying a bead or two of sealant on both sides of the sill gasket as its primary role limits wicking if Im not mistaken.
13:09 That is exactly why we have a little stroke crossing "7" in Europe.
ill be honest i love watching the video's as they come out but cant wait till we can watch a start to finish view think its going to be another amazing build . thinking its going to be around 80 video's by the time its done.
Cover the stamped concrete! I’ve had more nervous suspense than watching a thriller😂😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
Hello guys, amazing...from now on we will see faster progress in the construction. This math used to calculate the height gave me a headache. I am following this mega construction step by step. Big hug to the whole team here in São Paulo - Brazil.
Just as excited as you guys: framing!!!!
Coming together nicely. Looking good.
Nice build house 🏠
You guys are too awesome. An absolutely integral part of my day! Thank you!
Thank God! Done with the concrete forming!
In Ireland we bed on our wall plates on top of walls with mortar. To level them all up then fix them through it when the cement is dry..
Hey guys as always I love your videos it’s a high light of my week jus some friendly advice about the tower here in the uk we have to have training on construction of the tower you too had rails should be on the inside and the lower one should be just above the short ends the reason for the hand rails being on the inside is if you to fall they could pop out if the clip end has failed but if to pole is in the way you wouldn’t fall hope this makes sense great work tho guys cheers John
First video that played instantly first try, no ads
I love the stamped concrete
Glad to see framing! Super video.
Great job
Awesome work as always Guys. Can't wait for the next one.
Man A guy never wants to mess with Jason when hes in his rhythm !
Thank you for building for us
Man, bothe the banging on the nut tip and the foam cutting tip are like small but awesome protips Eric because you can use them in so many situations, gj!
Yayyy my favorite part, framing!!!!
When tape was cut on concrete(@ 03:24 time) - pro tip - it is better to cut it @ angle, as then it will be loger edge for watter to travel through (cnsidering it was squeezed) rather when it is straight :)
What a great episode! Off to the races for sure now! Noticed the floor joists in during your add and it’s looking very flat and straight!! 🤩
Enjoy watching your videos. Great editing, great hats, enjoy the humor, enjoy seeing the mountains, and love everyone’s
personality and to learn something new everyday.
Is your family related to Francis Perkins? She worked as Secretary of Labor for President FD Roosevelt
Framing finally. Holy cow this house has a lot of steps
I was about to comment you read the calculator wrong. I'm glad you caught that, pro move double checking...
that house will be GINORMOUS!
Wooood morning good to see some walls going up.
Oh shit! Another Perkins Bros Video! Woooooooohooooooo
Great lessons and wonderful entertainment to view always waiting on the next one
Awesome as Always !!! Nice to see some wood work. Thank you for all the fun and info !!! High Five !!!! 😍😎🤓
It’s so good to know that you are actually going to be using hammers, nails & screws to build with wood yeah. It has seemed to us out here this has taken forever to get to this stage but no fear the Perkins Builders Boys are here. I know that I’m going to enjoy this part of the build as I imagine the homeowners are as well. Keep them coming to entertain us love you guys ❤❤❤
😊 excellent video as always. Now retired, I loose track of days. Spent all day yesterday waiting for you guys just to realize it was Wednesday. Beautiful work & job site.
I had a similar situation. I custom cut studs to whatever length was required all sround the foundation.
Yes, Do whatever you have to do to make suer that framed floor is FLAT and level.
i saw the 7/8 on the calculator and was then glad you decided to double check!!! Whew!!!
I love that hat Jaime.
Another great video, I find it interesting that you frame without the anchor bolts going through both plates with the washer on top of the KD plate of the wall, in New England its common practice, our building department would never allow nailing the wall bottom plate to the pressure treated plate as the only connection, it would be considered in adequate even with the plywood attached to the pressure treated plate, (yes I understand different requirements per state) thanks for the great content you have a great channel.

Im here for the weather.... Last couple months down here in SE Arizona have been shit Hot... so this is cooool
22:23 the raptors are awesome!!
The fog in the trees at about 18 seconds ❤️ man I want to live in the mountains.
Wow,,I would have never thought any of those walls would have a bow,,you all took so much time in bracing them
Great progress boys!!
nice to see a couple concrete pros like yourself branch out into woodworking, best of luck on the new endeavour!
i am waiting everyday for you guys to post a video more than i waited for Game of Thrones to launch :D Keep up the good work, lova you guys
Same bro 😂 It’s like they put something addictive into these videos 😂
It's realy enjoyed see u guys build a house from a wild land. Nice!!!
be interesting to see how the finish floor holds up during the build
I was thinking the same thing. Looks nice but might end up getting real beat up by the end.
Should always square the foundation up and snap lines on the inside, instead of keeping the pressure treated plates flush with the outside of the foundation or slab. No matter how square you think you got it during forming
I agree completely. Having the wall straight is very important. Snap the line and work to the line. I snap a line 6' inside the building line and then make sure the outside of the framing is is offset from the snapped line.. Have been doing that for over 30 years,
Pro tip. Use a story pole for your studd highlights 😊
I think that the OSHA Fall Safety law does not allow workers to be on scaffolding higher that 4 feet while it is moving.
However, that might have been changed since the law was re-written in the late 90's. Many companies use scissor lifts or extension booms (Genie) to keep their workers safe while moving.
I was skeptical of how the stamped concrete would turn out with that wood texture but it looks really good.
