How To Straighten a Floor Quickly
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- We are using Native New Zealand timber for this floor. It is beautiful but the floor framing isn't. In this episode, we show a quick way to straighten the floor frame. Also, I show you the camera gear I use to make my videos.

It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.
The more I watch your video’s Scott the more I’m impressed by your intelligence and attention to detail.👍👍👍
Terry Topliss great comment very "constructive"
Agreed! I’m an Australian Sparky and I’m amazed at how many sub par trades you come across! Scott looks like he would be a dream to work with!
His intelligence? He is trusting those guys with his B camera. :P
Chris Babbitt because if they break it he can get another new one on a tax right off! Intelligent 😂
This is how all tradies should be 👍. Knowledge is unbelievable
ah the screwing in screws backwards happens to the proffesionals too Xd
@@ohasis8331 after the first time he better be paying for new bits lol
No not really, if you are that dumb you are too dumb to work on my job. These girls would get bullied off the job for any number of reasons. It's only a matter of time until someone that dumb drives a truck into the house or burns it down, no thanks.
No, professionals do not burn in screws in reverse. That's absurdly amateur.
Unfortunately for some "professionals" it takes a lot longer to work out as shown :/
I WANT ONE OFF THOSE SCOTT BROWN CARPENTRY T SHIRTS 😪
This is minor, but I love that you guys wear hearing protection. So many people I see don't have any hearing protection or thoughts about it. I wear some kind of hearing protection quite a lot, and it's nice to see other people who value their hearing.
Richard with an oilers hat now... he’s making a statement to all the Canadians watching this channel 😂
When the guy said "I think it is in reverse" - I laughed with you because I have done this myself so many times!
Who in North America was watching them put down the floor and was like “what, no subfloor”.
We don't have subfloors in New Zealand. T&g goes on joists (same if using chipboard flooring and carpet)
Not just North America...in the UK here. Our engineered wooden 18mm flooring is laid on top of 9mm ply, on 3mm underlay, on basic floorboards on top of joists. And it still creaks a bit in places! I'm really surprised this solution doesn't feel spongey, even with really well installed joist frame
Subfloor as in underlay?
Most new homes (Australia ) have a 19mm particle board sheeting installed under the floorboards first, then the poly-glue is trowel along with secret nails. This renovation looks like they have had to match existing floor heights, hence the installation methods they have Chosen. What they have done is still mostly compliant with code, as long as the floorboards are end matched and correct secret nails are used. :)
samoan SAIYAN Yes, to support the floor on top.
Actually no
“What is a subfloor?
The subfloor is the next layer above the joists and acts as a foundation for both the underlayment and surface levels of flooring. A subfloor provides a stable, level surface that new flooring can be easily installed on.”
I come here for the good carpentry and music. Keep up the good work my friend.
- All the way from north west Indiana U.S.A.
The music for this video is awesome. Love this beat!!
Always fun watching you guys, stay safe lads.
The way the episode caption was put on the back of the bus was class, nice editing
i love that Richard has such a great sense of humor about himself.
Great vid! Definitely watched it all the way through
really surprised that you don't have floor sheeting under the Kauri boards. I live in Europe and I had forgotten the simpler construction methods of NZ
Large dry erase job site calendar and info - LOVE IT!
Ahhhh Scott brown videos just make me smile. the perfect short dose of DIY i need...
love the vibe scotty, becomming a nice habit back here in sweden to watch your videos. and im not even in to carpentry hehe :)
That’s whacked cool. I literally just did the same thing yesterday and today this video pops up
With all the stupidity and lose of anything rational. Your videos show the world a better place and decency. Thank you.
i am amazed that there is no barrier between the flooring and the joist
Missed your videos SBC.. a beautiful Kauri floor! Looking forward to the boys’ videos!😎
The interludes of music are always cool, particularly cool in this video.
Your attention to details is amazing. We just had a house built and they didn't do half the shit your team does. Everything is half assed when it comes to the floor and framing
Was going to heckle Richard for wearing a canucks hat a while back but refrained, now I’m glad to see he’s wearing a real teams hat. Let’s go Oilers!
Oilers hat... in New Zealand? Wait, let me grab my All Blacks t-Shirt in Canada.
If pursuing a carpentry apprenticeship next month over here in Seattle Washington and man your videos get me so excited
Now this is a proper floor! Good job!
That start made me chuckle over breakfast
Scott man. One of the best vids you've done! Can't wait to see the footage from the "B" camera lol
Nice Oilers hat Richard
Scottyy your channel is one of my favourite TH-cam channel
Really insteresting and fun videos you make Scott. and take your well deserved break.. enjoy
one chippie to another...Nice work bro...Enjoy the vids... U seem to have a easy going/ relaxed manner, which makes for a smooth work flow and less mistakes...And easy to work with...Chur
Once Scott is gone, the shenanigans will start.
@Scott Brown Carpentry. Hey Scott. I know that everyone has their bad moment. So Rich is forgiven. It's good to know that the screwgun wasn't defective. Maybe you or Pareau can buy him a morning cup of coffee or tea?
Hope you, Pareau, Rich, and your families stay safe and well.
Watching from Denmark. This is the first time i have seen pink wood
My brother-in-law once cut half a load of firewood with the saw-chain on his chainsaw on backwards. He sharpened it several times, but “it didn’t seem to make much difference”!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂.... how do you even install it backwards? The gearing/ chain interface is usually directional so it can't go backwards!
The sprocket is omni-directional to allow it to be turned to get even wear and although the chain drive-tangs are scalloped on one side to allow sawdust to self-clear, the chain will very easily go on backwards. It is an easy mistake to put it on backwards, but to persist and attempt to cut for 15 minutes or so is the extraordinary part!
Perfect as usual Scott,such attention to detail.👍👍
Nothing like furring out ceilings or a floor. Always a good time lmao. Also weird there wasn’t originally a sub floor there I’ve never seen hardwood flooring just attached to the joists.
yep ive never seen that either
@@ohasis8331 soff nit hardwood
We don't have subfloors in New Zealand. T&g goes on joists (same if using chipboard flooring and carpet)
@@howardgamble5623 wtf lol
All/most homes in Australia are floor boards / chipboards nailed glued to timber joists works fine stay safe cheers
Good bunch of guys.🏴
A piece of art and joy!
I'm a doctor who like carpentry, and I watch your videos for entertainment>
Thanx Scott!
Bro, that screwgun was crackup. Same thing happened to me last while the boys had the gib overhead 😂🤦♂️
Well deserved break at that. Shame you couldn't have come to Scotland for it! 🏴❤
Thanks for another great episode guys!
Wooo! I’m interested to see what the guys will get up to! Those kids and their hijinks!
I just realized I leave work as a carpenter, come home and just watch people doing the same things I do all day, but with a cool accent and pink wood 🤣😂
In a magic land where they don't use a plywood subfloor.
😂😂 yeah there’s something wrong with us
Perfection, that's why good tradesmen are worth double to most that work to a passable standard
Lol I was awake watching your videos and just got a notification at 5:06am guess I'm staying up
Best site for music to accompany a building video.
This is not a knock at all, I LOVE your stuff, really solid!
In Canada we have floor joists and then lay subfloor (3/4" or 5/8" plywood as eg) is it climate that negates the need for a sub floor where you are? Just curious as I know climates need different solutions.
Edmonton Oilers my favourite team nice hat
Hey Scott, how come there isn't a subfloor below the hardwood floor? Is that a common method in New Zealand?
That was a good call on the adding boards to the joist. Either gonna cost in material or time.
My crew just did this to an entire floor in a 4 story house. Those sisters are key!
Great video with great music. Thanks.
I have one of those Milwaukee screw guns and they are amazing
Good pronunciation bro....
Kia kaha e hoa !
I’ve been waiting ages for a new video
Are there no air tightness regulations in NZ? I can't see that floor passing a blower door test.
John Latham no we don’t have air tightness tests here. In fact we build in a way that lets air in and out ( a little bit) but no moisture. We do occasionally air tight test windows though
your native tree pronunciation is on point Scott ! nice one
That new flooring looks mint!
I had the same damn thing with this drywal gun. Even took the whole thing apart :D your not the only one out there
Have fun and stay safe on your holiday 😉
How come you don’t install plywood first on top of the joists then the hardwood on top of the plywood?
The flooring is structural sound so installing plywood beforehand only adds unnecessary work and cost. The ‘hardwood’ is essentially your plywood ‘subfloor’ and finished flooring in one.
@@hlmccann wouldn’t it make the hardwood in between the joist flex a little? Since there’s no plywood underpayment support.
@@icepop3440 about as much flex as plywood. To be fair tongue and groove floor boards are rarely used in new builds, most are concrete slab with plywood/strand floor for 2nd floor. It’s usually used for renovations/repairs to match into existing tongue and groove floor boards.
@@hlmccann I’m from the U.S and here we always use use tongue and groove boards on new construction. I’ve been a flooring contractor for 10 years and never seen hardwood installed just over joists. It was just was interesting to see him installing floors that way.
We would just rip down and shim the top of the old lumber, sometimes use 1/2, 1/4, 3/4" ply wood pieces. Expensive material bill to use additional joist material to just make up a small space.
You gotta love these guys!!
Sick vid as usual Scott. Have you ever considered filming in 60fps? Would be much nicer in my opinion
good on Richard to put up with your "Reverse" tricks guys.....funny!
...You are a lucky guy to have sooo nice colleagues !!! Still love your videos 💖
On some real shit Scott I hope one day i get to work with you. I like how clean you are
Heyy, soon 200.000 subs. Way to go Scott!
Scott the sound track was exceptional. Have you thought of producing a Scott Brown films soundtrack? NZ music has an awesome vibe. Stay safe...😎
Love the wood Kauri wood is from very very special trees almost all gone now..sadly exploited native timber
From Russia with looove!! :-)
Very nice job. TH-cam channel - super!!
Rich just needs a Scott brown company van now, festol dry wall gun is best I’ve used 🔥🔫
Paurau at 13.23, classic!!!
Spot on mate 👌
I knew it was in reverse the second I saw him having trouble. I knew because I did the same thing with the Hilti version years ago, LOL!
Have a good break, Scott! Next few episodes are gonna be memorable, for sure
@Jarvis Church That Podder is a good man
@@sdsd2e2321 Paerau. It's Māori 😊
I always hand my new apprentices the screwgun in reverse. Thus, I can gauge their problem solving skills immediately.
I always check what direction my drill is going before I drive or drill anything
@@elibmx1411 man its a force of habit to always check the impact for me XD (im an ironworker)
Check out Advantech Subfloor Adhesive or Great Stuff Pro Construction Adhesive. The Foam cans with the gun. Adhesive Caulking is almost obsolete with these products. One can of foam glue will last beyond many many tubes of caulk so you don't have to switch tubes so often. You don't have to squeeze caulk anymore either. Worth it.
*_Question from Timber noob:_* You said when you do the cladding, that it has to be nailed once, not glued so it can move and expand. So why is it when you do the floor you nail and glue it down. Doesn't that effect it's ability to expand? If not why?
looking forward to the lads videos :-)
these fellas know their trade/craft...
When i was starting out i burnt out a sparks bit by drilling a hole in reverse. Whoops
Sensational content. Thank you team
Awesome work as alway👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Ingenious! Great work
@ 8:50 Reversed the clamp arms...... Niiiiiiice
Great video and work mate..very funny
If you’re doing this on the regular a tongue nailer is definitely the best way to go. Nil faffing around and so quick.
Interesting - you guys seem super duper skilled.
Why would you not use a generous application of construction adhesive when sistering the joists?
Yes - and, no sub floor - wild stuff. The adhesive is stronger than screws or nails.
Definitely can feel the sound quality difference between the two mics
2:40 top notch work
Superb
super cool tip ,fixing new joists to old to level the room,il be using that one ,update on the martinez m1 or m4 hammer would be tool xmas is coming, good work guys ;-)
Nice work brother i enjoy your videos!
As soon as rich had a problem with the collated gun, I knew it was in reverse! Go ahead ask how I knew! 🙈🙈🤣🤣
Its happened to all of us 🙃
Ask me too xD
Yeah but did you call the supplier at the ripe age of 18 telling them you had a dodgy motor that was in back to front? No me neither!
🤣 The one tool that literally everyone has the exact same problem with.
Oak Green Ben I’ve worked with a few tools that I had almost identical problems with, they all worked backwards! but no loss they were all chanced quickly! 🤣
Scott,
Can you please do a video on the difference between a carpenter, cabinet maker and joiner?
