Hey Timmy, I'm gonna need you guys to start working faster. I binged all of your content, and now I have to wait an entire excruciating week between videos. I'm not framing anymore (for now, at least), and I'm living vicariously through your videos. I *_need_* more!! You're a pretty good guy, though, so I know you'll start pushing out one or two videos each day. Thanks in advance for doing that. 😉
I like that saying: we are not machinist, we are framers. Every time I try to get involve in framing “framers” get mad at me, they say that they are not cabinet makers. I really would like to come across framers like you guys and have the opportunity to work along.. here in socal it’s all about production, get it done and move onto the next…
Larry Haun has made three videos about framing houses. These videos are now found one YT. In the first video he he shows some pretty darn instrument to very easy find the place where to drill the holes in the mud sill. I am not a expert, I am from the Netherlands, greetings. Love your videos and other videos about framing. Thank you for making them.
I’m too old (54) to start over, but you guys make me want to be a framer. I like building things and have learned a lot from your channel. Nice pace, commentary, excellent video and audio and a good sense of humor to boot. Really nice channel!
WOW ... you are kickin butt on the vids and look at your channel goooo. remember when I asked to not for get us when your were 26k subs last year. 41.5K subs Monday Feb 14, 2022. KICKIN TUSH! great vid guys always
Hello from Oregon… I know it seems repetitive for you to explain everything your doing but it really helps a newbie like me! Love your video’s. Thanks.
I taught my crew to measure everything to the sixteenth. We wrote it as 12 4 but the 4 had a line under it. That’s twelve and a quarter. To measure to 1/32 accuracy we simply add a plus sign to the 4+. So that’s twelve and nine thirty seconds, but we never said thirty seconds. It was twelve and four plus. You guessed it, we were finish carpenters. The real beauty of this system is using only one denominator, sixteenths.
At 14:30 you nailed a 2x6 on outside of the sill plate, Why? what is purpose? I'm building my house this spring, and your videos are absolutely the BEST construction videos on TH-cam. keeping the 'oops' moments in the videos is important. adds entertainment value ;)
He was doing layout on the top plate and the mud sill at the same time. He nailed them together to keep them aligned for his marks to be accurate. The key to 24"OC framing is alignment of the vertical members between floors. The studs above need to be in vertical alignment with the studs below for proper load bearing.
I really don't like strip nail guns either but my biggest pro tip is when I grab a handful of strips, I quickly orient them all the same as I walk to where I'm working and I put them in my pouch in a manner so that when my hand grabs them, they are positioned ready to slip into the gun. No flipping, spinning rotating, I don't want to think. The less I think, the better hahaha.
I spend a fair amount of time watching your videos. I love them - thanks for teaching and keeping it entertaining. My career is actually in documentary and commercial film, but because of these videos (and I enjoy it) I’ve recently applied to part time construction work. I live in Coupeville, but my folks live in McCormick woods, which I read you guys have built quite a few. One question: what is the PVC barrier product between top plate and concrete? Thanks - hope we cross paths someday.
Great informative video. But you threw me at the end! You said it was the next day, and all of a sudden you have a mustache?! Haha I think it’s an Easter egg, but you can explain if it’s not. Take care!
a little surprised that thorough fellows such as yourselves don’t paint cut mud sill ends with Jasco or some such. You can squirt a bit around the bolts with a re-purposed dish soap bottle too.
So not to critique When you snap your line for square, all you have to do is position the sill plate on top of the anchor bolts and give it a whack with that three pound sledge of yours and it will indent the bottom side of the plate. Flip the plate over. Drill your holes and BAM. Perfect every time. Even if the bolt is slightly off center
Question. Diamondback vs Badger, which is better in you guys opinion. I myself have the Diamondback Chopo rig and I have a love hate relationship with it.
That's what I'd like to know. Even if it isn't required by code, I would still use it just as extra insurance in case it rains for two weeks straight and moisture wicks up into the sill plate.
Do you find it just as okay to nail the 3 toenails from the same side versus the slow34 but I feel more secure way to go 2 from one side and 1 from the other? I feel it has less opportunity to slide one way or the other. It probably would add an extra few seconds to each toe nailed stud but I wonder if it’s worth it
The "slide" only occurs on the first nail. So, if using a nail gun, there is no need to alternate to avoid banging the wood out of alignment like when hand nailing. There is no horizontal stress on the wood, so 3 on one side are more than enough to keep the board in place when under load.
Any reason why you couldn't immediately drill the hole when you measure the bolt off the blue line onto the mudsill? Would save you a trip up and down the board, literally. Love the content, keep rockin !
@@martin3911 that doesnt make sense since he already pulled his square on one trip to mark linear on the board for bolt "x" axis, if he used his martinez speed square, that he has, he could hold it on the blue line, mentally note the distance to the center of the bolt on the concrete for the "y"axis, and then move his square to the board, mentally transfer that number and drill immediately, placing the drill tip on the needed measurement, doesnt take a third trip up and down the board, plain and simple, saves time and energy.
The "J" bolts look rusted, which I assume are just standard "J" bolts and not hot dip galvanized. I could be wrong since you can't see them that clearly in the video. In either case, pretty sure the bolts are supposed to be HDG when I'm contact with pressure treated wood
@@FixthisCD by rusting I referred to corroding. If the wood stays dried in, it will be fine. All houses I build in my province are set with non-galvanized J's and they hold up.

This might sound strange, but wiping with your hand is a habit you should try to get rid of. Use a brush. Even with gloves, one day you will wipe and get a splinter or a damn cut from a piece of swarf. That ruins your day.
Callouts are funny, 61 and an eighth can quickly turn into 60 and 1/8th. Again, don't make me think, we don't do thinking around here, I emphasize the division of whole numbers to fractions.
That is why they call out 6 1 and 2 for 61&1/8. The AND is the indicator of the upcoming fraction. 6 1 and 2 can not be mistaken. Like he said, 5 8 and 2 instead of fifty-eight and 1/8th. I learned that 28 years ago by overhearing the drywall guys on a commercial job. Always call out whole individual numbers with an AND. If no fraction, then say 6 1 even. Never had a helper misunderstand me using this system for 28 years.
You just leave the exposed dirt in the crawl space? Why not at least put a plastic vapor barrier with a little rock on top? Doesn't that moisture cause issues??
Cost is the issue. A slab requires a flat, level surface, have to bring in dirt or dig it out which changes a lot of the look of the house on an uneven lot. A basement is tens of thou$and$ of $$$ more.
Take the mudsill and place it over the anchor bolts and smack it with a hammer over each bolt. It will make a dent in the board and you'll know exactly where to put the holes. Some of the anchor bolts may be a little too low to dent the board, so drill out the holes for the higher ones first, then put the board back on over the bolts and smack it again and the lower ones will show up on the board. Way faster than the old fashioned method. I promise

I came Here Because I Knew I'd Be Welcome (Merle and Charlie) ..
New Subscriber Here . Thinking Of Retiring The Gas Business And Get Into Carpentry ..
Surprised to see your mud sill install. We use a foam seal and tin termite barrier under the sill plate. Guess that isn't code in your area.
Great informative video. But you threw me at the end! You said it was the next day, and all of a sudden you have a mustache?! Haha I think it’s an Easter egg, but you can explain if it’s not. Take care!
I noticed this too....Hmmm..
Hey! Really good video! Was Just wondering why you dont have type of membrane or foam between the mudsill and concrete?
Crawlspace. It’s vented anyway so why put anything there?
No sill seal?
Seismic codes. Out there they need that sill plate absolutely locked to the foundation.
Also vented crawlspace. Why insulate right above all those holes
Wish I could use the borate pressure treated stuff. Would be nice to be able to use bright nails instead of galvanized.
You are pretty precise with all of your work. Is there any chance you can do a video of how to square up stem walls with your calculator.
Thanks man. Question - what are you using to secure the pressure treated boards on on the pony wall to the concrete?
a little surprised that thorough fellows such as yourselves don’t paint cut mud sill ends with Jasco or some such. You can squirt a bit around the bolts with a re-purposed dish soap bottle too.
That's a good point. There isn't a need to because the mudsill will stay dry and the cut ends aren't absorbing water through the cut ends.
What was that book by Tor Madison? I can't find a link.
Thanks.
I did my step aerobics to this
can you give us an overview of your high pressure concrete and framing nailers as well as the compressor please.
Check out MAX High Pressure.
So not to critique
When you snap your line for square, all you have to do is position the sill plate on top of the anchor bolts and give it a whack with that three pound sledge of yours and it will indent the bottom side of the plate. Flip the plate over. Drill your holes and BAM. Perfect every time. Even if the bolt is slightly off center
Wont work unless all the bolts are plumb which is unlikely especially considering how high out of the concrete they are
Why no sealing caulk or foam seal between the concrete wall and misdeal?
I'm a new subscriber my only question is do yall ever crown your wood..I didn't see any1 crown...
Where is the link to the book you said you would put in the description?
What was that book you mentioned around 8:10 - 8:17 ?
4:39 Right.
One of those studs only got two toe nails...you better go find it or the whole house might fall down
❤❤❤
No sill sealer (foam or otherwise)?
Vented crawlspace. Why?
@@syringconstruction9825 ahh, makes sense.
Love your videos always a pleasure to watch but I’m also a joiner but any reason why you only use makita tools?
I can't believe how different the framing style is compared from the east coast to the west.
17:55 looks like someone's head in the window of the door of the house beside you
Are you not required to run a capillary break between the mud sill and the concrete foundation?
Nope, no need when using PT lumber. Since it's a vented crawl space no point in trying to air seal that connection
Interesting, heard it was code and heard to always use a membrane
For the cents per foot, would it really harm to install it? I know some builders go crazy.
Don't you need a "sill plate gasket" ?
Dang I don't see the link for the badger bags lol. And tool arn went out of business?!? Wow.
They are still in business www.badgertoolbelts.com/product-category/tool-belt-sets/
Curious about pony walls in the crawl space. I'm guessing that using the framed pony walls is less expensive than beams?
Less expensive and also less flex in the floor above it.
You guys don't use silly sill anymore?? ( green foam under green plate)
There isn't a benefit here when we use treated lumber for sills.
Whats the book from about 2:40?
Here in California the drill bit can be 1/8 bigger than 1/16
Question. Diamondback vs Badger, which is better in you guys opinion. I myself have the Diamondback Chopo rig and I have a love hate relationship with it.
would the la350 accomplish the same thing as the la180?
Almost. It doesn't have beans that fan out.
You guys don’t need sill seal under your mud sill? Here in the northeast team must have it.
That's what I'd like to know. Even if it isn't required by code, I would still use it just as extra insurance in case it rains for two weeks straight and moisture wicks up into the sill plate.

Do you have a backup tablet on hand? Or does Kyle also have a tablet (aka, a backup)? Or do you have blue prints for backups.
He mentioned that he has never broken a tablet yet. Why carry a spare if you've never broken one?
Do you not pour flooring in your crawlspace ?
He covered that in a previous video. The vapor barrier goes down AFTER the subs are done so it is not torn up during construction.
