Never built a header! Never built a house. Great videos and your style is good for those of us never haves! Thank you. Dreaming of the day I can build my own. Thanks for the knowledge!
I really enjoy the first person view. Plus, I'm pretty new at home remodeling. My home being my first project now. Your simple explanation is invaluable! Thank you.
I'm new to your channel. I found it very informative. Not sure why you didn't cut out the window before you left the wall though..... But I never built a home before. Keep the videos coming. I'm a fan.
I actually need the window covered until the actual window comes in so I can place it in the hall so weather does not get into the house. I’m glad you found the channel as well. Thanks for watching!
Damn bro I wish I could work with you. I'm 58 with 25 or so of those years spent strictly roofing, now I'm pretty much lead carpenter on many a big job. I do know what I'm doing but you look like a real pro, the pros make it look easy!! Excellent work, keep on keepin on! I'll be watching!
I’ve never built a header. But I did stay at a holiday inn once, therefore I’m building a house. Jk. Great video. Ive learned more in your videos than I have searching all of the google machine. I am actually building a house but hopefully I’ll have some help. Lol.
Great job love your videos. Look up Larry Haun framing videos and books. His method of laying out rough openings and headers etc cuts out so much extra marking and measuring. I’ll be framing my own house this spring. Your videos r Very helpful.
Hey Aaron! He is a great old school framer. He reminds me of my dad. I’m glad you found my channel. Hopefully it helps you with your project. Thanks for watching!
is there a clip of you joining an interier wall to an exterior wall so I can see how the corners look? I like how you mentioned the pre fab where a wall is to be considered, just wondering if theres a clip of you placing one so i can see what its supposed to look like.... Great videos as always brother!! God bless!
Very informative, as usual. What you could do, though it will be more editing work for you, is add labels on screen. Especially when you're using specific terminology, such as jack stud, cripple, etc. The kind of words people won't know unless they've built one themselves. You could also add product dimensions, like nails, or what tool brand you're using. Promo that Amazon affiliate stuff.
I bought the Advantect flooring and went to your video. You answered most of my questions. However there is a beveled edge on Grove side.I wanted to know does the beveled edge goes up or down. I wish that question would have been addressed
When you were lifting the wall, at 0:01 and again at 17:48, I noticed that a strip of the OSB extended above the frame (maybe 1/4" - 1"2 inch). Was that intentional? If so, why? Was the wall frame 9' tall after the second top plate was attached, or before the 2nd top plate was attached? Did the OSB sheet top match up with the top of the 2nd top plate? If not, is that a big deal? What would you do to prevent a gap in between the wall sheathing on the 1st floor and the wall sheathing on a theoretical 2nd floor? I will be building a garage with two floors and it seems like there would be a gap between the sheathing that would have to be dealt with somehow. Thank you, I am really getting a lot out of your videos.
Great videos Josh, I have a question, you explain pretty well about the layout and where to place headers but how high do you place them, is that in the plans too?
The height and width of the RO(rough opening) for your window will be in the plans. He does a good job explaining but his marking is a little hard to read. Your header just has to be 3 inches (two Jack stud widths) wider than your RO. Easier way for me to think about it anyways
I get so many views from all the excellent videos lol. I use Imovie and iphone. My new "How to frame a wall with a door" video I tried a new setup. Check it out. I dont mind the questions, in fact I love getting them. Thanks for the comments!
Built my first wall thanks to you. Looking for how to add a beam while building a wall. I have not located any videos on this yet. 😢 Thank you Josh for all the videos
If you start the sheathing flush with the first stud, won't it miss the stud on the other side 48" away? Do sheathing joints need to fall in the center of the studs?
Yes it would miss if you laid out stud at 48”. It’s why as he explained you go back 3/4 inches from every 16” red mark on the measuring tape. So the 4’ end of your sheathing would actually break in middle of the stud you laid out at the 47 1/4 mark. Then again at the 95 1/4 laid out stud and so on.
Wouldn’t you want your sheathing to overlap your subfloor a bit. Seems like if water gets behind your siding, it’s going to penetrate the outside edge of your subfloor.
Your sheeting should go all the way down over to your sill plate. And it nails in with galvanized nails to your treated sill plate to tie it all together. Those two toe nailed nails into the floor joists won't hold that house down. Don't take my word for it ,look it up. Just a heads up!
According to the code IRC R602.3.1, 16" is the max space between centers of two studs. But (almost) all youtubers measured the second stud starting at 15 1/4". If so, the on-center space between the first and the second studs is 15 1/4" which is 3/4" less than 16". It was not wrong but wasted 3/4" space. It is weird that so many senior framing guys say this was a trick. I totally disagree.
You put a stud on the end of wall making spacing narrower. You lay 16” center so when applying sheathing 48” will land on center of studs starting end of wall.
@@jasonvangorp8632 Thanks. That makes sense. The stud need to be on centers at 48", 96", 144" and 196" to install the 4-feet-wide drywall or OBS board.
Made it about 1/2 way then you started swinging the camera around too much. Some of us old folks can't handle that. Almost fell out of my recliner. Feeling little sick and nauseous.🤪

will be building my walls soon. That pipe wrench trick to deal with twisted lumber was worth watching this whole video for. Cheers.
Never built a header! Never built a house. Great videos and your style is good for those of us never haves! Thank you. Dreaming of the day I can build my own. Thanks for the knowledge!
You’re welcome Adam! Stay tune for more to come!
I really enjoy the first person view. Plus, I'm pretty new at home remodeling. My home being my first project now. Your simple explanation is invaluable! Thank you.
This helps rookies like me. Thank you
I’m glad I can help you out! It makes my day knowing I can’t help somebody. Thanks for letting me know!
Awesome channel and instruction. Thanks for sharing these for us DIY'ers.
Yes sir! I’m glad people are enjoying my videos. It makes it all worth it!
HOLY! pipe wrench! Great job
I’ll tell you what, a pipe wrench works wonders with those twisted studs.

I'm glad to hear that you are learning from the channel! Is it your first house building experience?
Yes! Should be a great experience 😂
Marcus Burt Your first one is definitely a learning experience. After that the rest of the house you build will be much easier
Never built a header but I love this stuff
Stay tuned. Lots more to come!
Very helpful Thank you for sharing this
Looks good , I usually router my windows , doors out before I stand the wall

You need a mid job lumber cart, or build on. Wheels are great.
That’s a great idea. Appreciate your input. Thank you for watching!
Appreciate the video.
You are welcome!
I bought the Advantect flooring and went to your video. You answered most of my questions. However there is a beveled edge on Grove side.I wanted to know does the beveled edge goes up or down. I wish that question would have been addressed
Thank u my friend for sharing the knowledge
The header just sits on the jack stud, but is nailed in to the king stud? Great video by the way, thank you. Building a sauna soon :)

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! More to come. I got a whole house to finish!!!!😃
Great video man

Nice dude thanks 😊
Thank you! Hope everything is going well for you. Take care!
Good video. What size nails are you using?
When you make a header would it be ok to use a 1/2 inch piece of foam board,say R3 in-between the 2x6's? Would that fail an inspection?
what size nails are you using. i have a nailer pneaumatic 3 1/2 " 16d and the nailes are thinner than the 5 pound lose nailes so is this correct??
Thank you man, good video👍
Thank you. Appreciate you watching!
Awesome 👏
Thank you!
Hey! Where are you from?How the heck do you get so many views? How do you edit? So many questions sorry.
I get so many views from all the excellent videos lol. I use Imovie and iphone. My new "How to frame a wall with a door" video I tried a new setup. Check it out. I dont mind the questions, in fact I love getting them. Thanks for the comments!

So the 4’ end of your sheathing would actually break in middle of the stud you laid out at the 47 1/4 mark.
Then again at the 95 1/4 laid out stud and so on.
What is the thickness of wall sheeting and floor.
Thanks
If I may ask why dont you let the sheathing cover the joist caps aswell as the house wrap ?
You say Joist caps are you talking about the band board? On the outside of the house?
@@TheExcellentLaborer yes pardon my idiot terminology 😂😂
Wouldn’t you want your sheathing to overlap your subfloor a bit. Seems like if water gets behind your siding, it’s going to penetrate the outside edge of your subfloor.
How come some have the window header flush with top plate and some have cripples on top of header?
Hi, How did you find the land for this project and what was the cost to purchase the land. Thanks
I bought it in the neighborhood I live in. So I can work close to home.
Your sheeting should go all the way down over to your sill plate. And it nails in with galvanized nails to your treated sill plate to tie it all together. Those two toe nailed nails into the floor joists won't hold that house down. Don't take my word for it ,look it up. Just a heads up!
How long are the nails you are using in this video?
3 1/4” framing nails non galvanized. I used 2 3/8” for the sheathing. Great question!
How did you lift wall onto bolts?
Put the wall up against the bolts I have the holes lined up with the wall up. Hope that helps!
Hola como puedo octener aquella pistola neumatica de clavos 3 1/2"para framing
I'm real surprised you passed inspection cause any header over 4 foot requires double jacks.
Hey Curtis! It depends on if the wall is loadbearing or non-loadbearing. Thanks for your comment!
I'm kind of surprised to see 2x4 exterior walls. I'm guessing you are in a more mild climate than I am? We have to use 6" exterior.
Hey Joel! Yes it is mild here.

Openings over 60 inches should have double jack in load bearing walls that's code where I build
