I also think it’s so cool that your boss lets you record your work day. I’ve worked for so many guys who would think it’s just a huge waste of time or distraction to record what is happening. You work for some good guys man!
Even though I am a finish carpenter/ contractor I enjoy this so I can learn to build my house shed! But it will hv to wait until I am out of this job “COUPLE MORE DAYS; I HV ALL THE TRIM FINISHED HERE JUST THAT LEFT”!
We will staple the sill sealer to the bottom of the plate with a hammer tacker so it is there and we don’t have to worry about it. Works well if it’s windy to.
I'm jealous that you have such nice even ground to work on. Last 3 sites I worked at, I could barely get a decent footing without tripping over clumps of dirt and rock and weird little uneven mounds and steep slopes by the foundation.
90% of this job seems like measurements and discussing plans but very nicely done for sure Working with steel in the winter months does NOT sound enjoyable one bit lol but the work doesn’t do it self.
@@certifiedladderholder oh ok im trying to get into making videos and all that. Im around the same age as you and in the construction business. Much love bro!!
There’s a few ways you can get into this trade! The one I used being laboring for a residential framing crew and learning from there. There’s also trade schools, or union apprenticeships. Each have their own benefits. It is most definitely worth it in the long run if you love it🙏
Soooo...... I'm gonna buy my first expensive toolbelt soon and I'm torn between the one you're wearing in this video and the Fatlip comfort set with the 5" belt. My worry with the comfort set is that the bags aren't fixed so they might move around, though I could probably rig up a fix for that. How do you fair with those back pain wise without suspenders directly attached to the belt? I'd like to run suspenders on my pants instead of the toolbelt. Any insight would be appreciated.
Gotcha man! The belt I'm wearing in this video actually treats my back fairly well without suspenders. I can only imagine how good the comfort set must feel. As for the bags moving around, I punched holes in the leather on my full leather set and ran a zip tie through them. Haha also I had recently tried switching to suspenders on my pants instead of my belt. Essential Craftsman made me do it🤣I actually really liked how it felt
@@certifiedladderholder Thanks for the info. Yeah, I've had my belt rigged with suspenders for a couple years now and my pants still find a way to fall down even though I have a belt on and I don't imagine 2 pairs of suspenders would be comfortable so I'm looking towards the essential craftsman way too. It doesn't help that I'm indecisive I just wish they made a comfort belt with fixed bags and took off the tape pouch on the right side. I'll probably end up cutting it off if I do go that route. Was also thinking about mix and matching pouches but the ones without the tape holder on the right also have less tool slots from what I can tell. Decisions, decisions. Thanks again for the reply.
Love the question! So with this job site, we framed the floor almost right when backfilling was being finished. Just because the boss Eric wanted to get the whole concrete foundation locked in before temperatures dropped to under -10 degrees F. It insured that the foundation walls were all locked into the floor framing before freezing and cracking occurred.
I'm m currently going for my first year apprentice through a youth apprenticeship program (17 years old). I wonder if I should go union or non union. im stuck between both. I see myself finishing Red Seal and starting a business
I have a year left in the military and would like to go into carpentry after I get out what’s the best advice or best approach for going around that any and all advice would help
In my opinion there’s no wrong way to get into carpentry. Just do your research of whats around locally, whether it be a union apprenticeship program, a trade school, or working directly for a residential contractor which is what I did out of high school. Pick what seems right for you. There’s a lot of companies who need solid reliable guys. As long as you learn with passion and respect, you’ll succeed anywhere🙏
I also think it’s so cool that your boss lets you record your work day. I’ve worked for so many guys who would think it’s just a huge waste of time or distraction to record what is happening. You work for some good guys man!
Hey man it’s not always easy! I try my best and I’m thankful for the guys who let me try things out🙏

Even though I am a finish carpenter/ contractor I enjoy this so I can learn to build my house shed! But it will hv to wait until I am out of this job “COUPLE MORE DAYS; I HV ALL THE TRIM FINISHED HERE JUST THAT LEFT”!

You know man I’ve had the thought of trying that out for years now! Maybe it’s time😂

@@DanielCastillo-ky4rwThat’s what I like to hear👍Good luck!
Are you alive!?! Come back!! Solid content!
How long till the rest of the episodes start coming?
What do you use for shims for steel?
Our steel supplier supplies the steel shims. We usually keep an abundance of amount of steel stims but for this job you could see me stealing some😂
How does one get into this career, is it worth it in the long run?

Most plans do not allow backfill until framing is set? Was your plans different?

Just because the boss Eric wanted to get the whole concrete foundation locked in before temperatures dropped to under -10 degrees F.

Kinda wanna know why no uploads?
When are you gonna post another video
Hey bro. I don't understand u said as long as the plywood doesn't land in the concrete wall. But it will if you doing 6" ins
I was referring to the plywood being inside the concrete wall instead of just being flush. You either want flush or overhanging👍
Hey where’s the next video?????

Can we please get a playlist of all the artists you listen too
How much do you make ?
Ahead of the pack with this one.
Pacific Northwest?
Should I do carpentry as a career? And what would the job be called if I just want to work on houses
Why is grade so close to building materials
I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that your wishing for some Max guns for your birthday/christmas 😂
How’d you know!?
WE MISS THE VIDEOS COME BACK 🥲
what camera do you use
I use a GoPro Hero 8 black!
@@certifiedladderholder how’d you like it? looking at the 9 wanting to record the same stuff, seen some bad reviews
@@harveyhouse9652 I’ve seen those reviews too. Never had many problems with the 8’s besides me scratching up the lense
@@certifiedladderholder thank you

Why’d you stop posting ? 😢
