Regarding the 2x12 walk plank you are using, I would suggest, for safety's sake, creating a strong back by nailing/screwing a 2x4 on edge to the bottom of the 2x12. This would stiffen the 2x12 and reduce the "bounce".
I cant picture what you mean. Cut a 2x4x12 inches, put the 2inch side verticle at the center of the span and fasten it? Or put it horizontal at the center of the span? I ask because I have this barn When You walk in the joists are low and open (it was a chicken production bsarn originally in the 50's). The Joists are rough cut 2x6 on 18 inch centers spanning 12' 8". There is a good amount of bounce when you walk on the second floor.
I have been a Building Contractor for 30+ years, and I love to see unskilled people build their own house. You guys are doing a great job and will be even prouder when you move in. You will know that every board that was installed is strait and is to your to your liking. Building a house is not hard, but building a home takes love and care. This is why this house you are building will be better then if you paid a contractor to build it. Keep up the great work because all the comments I have read, everyone watching your channel loves what you are doing. - Jeff
Not even the best hired contractor would take the time and effort to measure and remeasure at every point. This is a labor of love and craftsmanship that will last for generations. Keep moving forward at a reasonable pace and spring will get here with an enclosed building. Most of all be safe and focused!
I agree with Richard S.: After crowning all joists and laying out your spacing on the rim joists and center beam, I place the joist into place, tack it to the rim and center beam and then add your joist hanger.
All your hard work will allow you to rest easy knowing what went into it. Each and every nail you put in is what will hold you two and this house into a home together. Labor of love. Blessings that you have everything you need to get this home done. Lord keep you safe and healthy as you do this.
Being precise is not nerdy, Nerd is a bully term giving by those who feared you and the knowledge or skill you had over them. I appreciate the exact carpentry to a new build and for the long run is the best strongest way to build. Most of these cookie cutter strand board houses are a joke now, nice to see new methods with old combined. You guys are real not like some of the even popular sites of pretend living off grid or building with only hand tools just for the camera until it is off and out come the power tools and big generators they would never show You. Keeping it real to show others how they could do it if they choose to. Cheers, glad I found your channel.
Watching this video so impressed with both of y'all. My husband and I built a container house and put in on TH-cam. Could not stand the critics who have never done anything like this and always had something to say. Everyone has an opinion and it doesn't mean shit! Y'all are doing great! So impressed with you guys! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Don't kid yourself . People giving their thoughts and opinions have helped many You Tubers while they were doing a project . Just ask Wild and Wonderful and Lumnah Acres .. If a You Tuber can't handle thoughts and opinions than just make it so that viewers can't comment . It's that easy . A better way is to not make a video at all than you don't have to with stand anything .
Another homesteader I watch lost all of his upper front teeth power nailing joist nails. I'm not sure what type of gun he was using, but he now screws them with StrongTie Joist Screws. I'm not sure of the details, but the channel is Hickory Ridge Homestead. He is building a huge log cabin by himself. The build is looking nice! You don't see a lot of 2 x 12 floor joists! These days I mostly see I-Joists or truss joists.
I so admire you guys! That is hard work for a crew, let alone just 2 people. You are invested in every nail and board in this home and will love it for the rest of your lives.
"#1 SYP 2x12" No bounce in that floor ! Slow and steady wins the race. Hopefully you will have good weather for most of the winter, at least not a lot of snow and rain.
Your explanations are real clear. The camera work is excellent. I am a firm believer in over building. Better than saying, I wish I would have built it stronger when something goes wrong. I don't think anyone ever said I wish I hadn't built it so strong.
Something to think about. Less steps=more productivity. Try to batch your jobs, cut ten pieces and lean them on the scaffolding then climb your scaffolding and hang them, move scaffold, cut, repeat. Every trip up a ladder is time and energy so conserve it wisely. Great level BTW and your usage is dead on. Get TOB set, toe nail and then set your hanger by feel and cut out your combination square, use your speed square to plumb
We are SO stinkin' proud of you, Jeremy. Months ago, when you said you didn't want to be the contractor and manage the build, we thought, "Why not? You'd do a GREAT job." And you are. Beautiful work, Jeremy. Your house will be much better built than ours, and the memories and sentimental value of it all... SUPER glad you stuck it out, and we're sure you will be too. :)
I agree with the use of 2×12. Minimum standard is just that, minimum. By building your own, as long as you have the skills, the money saved on another builder's profit can be used to incorporate better materials into your build and ultimately a better, more valuable home.
@@wilburfinnigan2142 if you can't afford to build a house and sustain the housing you already have then your not ready to build a new house imo. My comment was made assuming living costs have been budgeted for from the beginning.
Looking good man ..But remember it's called rough framing for a reason ..Don't waste too much time on small variances in the dimensional lumber 3/16 here and there is acceptable and you'll never see it in the finished project..Get yourself a palm nailer before the end of the project it will handle those long joist nails and save the ache of carpal tunnel..Keep rocking on guys.
Those rain drops will balance on the peak! LOL Been watching a long time, never commented, laughing because I see ourselves through you guys oh so clearly now! Great work!
Hey guys, nice job. I hated the constant up and down ladders and scaffolding when we built our place. You’ll probably have more nails than you want in awkward to install places. We used a pneumatic palm nailer that saved our hands and cut off installation time way down. We’ll be waiting for the next episode. Take care.
You guys have accomplished a great deal on this build. I appreciate the time you take with all the other things you have to do to make and edit these videos. I always enjoy the dirt so I'll be looking forward to that video as well. Be safe and take care.
Jeremy & Jamie, your house build is coming along nicely! Yes I agree about rough weather slowing things down outside like that.. the winter weather here in Utah has thrown the breaks on mechanical repairs on my truck sitting in my driveway waiting for those repairs! Anyway i wish you both well and much success on your build as you progress along with it. Take Care till your next video. See ya then.
Hey Jeremy..last night alot of tornadoes was in Texas and Oklahoma..the Crockers was showing it live on TH-cam..We are supposed to be getting cold weather on Tuesday 14th.. Love the progress you're making on the house! Can't wait to see more!💖💖💖💯💯👍👍🙏🙏🙏🐸🐸🐸🐵🐵🐵
Yes, we did. A funny cloud was about 3 miles from me last night moving towards Arlington. Tornado alley for sure. Then this morning some snow. Only in Texas right!
@@dianneedwards2491 Yeah you know what they say about Texas.. if you don't like the weather .. wait 5 minutes and it will change! I live in Houston for 8 years..it was wild!👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🐸🐸🐸🐵🐵🐵🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
In the future you can save a lot of grief by spray painting a small dot on the crown side. I generally use red fast dry paint. Thus all red dots will be on the top and is easily identifiable from any distance.
We’ve had some really bad weather this morning in SW Indiana, and it’s headed towards your area. Stay safe. Tornado outbreaks all over the Midwest. You kids stay safe 💕
Yaaay!! Another chunk under the gun! Question: How do you keep your wood joist from warping in the weather? I keep cringing with all that hard work to level and get them so precise that one rain and cold then warm cycle and wood twists and warps. Yikes! Smiles and blessings...
J.Arnold Cotton My guess is it’s the thickness of a top plate that can lay on top of the beam. Seems like extra work and material but since we can’t see the blueprints it’s kind of hard to tell what the engineer decided was best.
New subscriber from Western Australia. Thoroughly enjoy watching the progress of this build. It's looking good and you guys are doing great. Eager to see the next video.
I couldn’t help but laugh when you said “check it for level because apparently I’m a nerd”, I must be married to one also but his projects always look great... and level!
I understand you, this is your home and i know you want it to be strong. When they say 2 X 10, that is the minimum, you are doing right using 2 X 12. Only drawback is the weight of them, lots heavier. This time of year, weather does it best to be an enemy more than a friennd, but this year is wierd, not much cold weather so far and has been fairly dry so let us hope it continues so you can make good progress. Lots of luck.
Great work. I’ve of spent a little more and went with LVL’s and i joists to elevate half your concerns and extra time spent modding those 2x12’s. I know they are a lot cheaper though.
I thought all the joist tops had to be even with the beam tops ??? ... Shouldn't the joists be leveled together on top where the subflooring goes instead of their bottoms ???
I usually lay out the joices marked on the top of the rim & center beam.. tack the joices to the top of the rim,, one nail down thru the top.. & 1 on each side to keep level.. crown all the joices up ,,,marked on the saw horses ,, when they are in place push the hangers into place & nail,, 2//3 hour job...if the center was out of square,, put 2 or 3 in the middle first..1/8 inch is nothing,, it's a extra smack with a big hammer..
Just this morning was feeling impatient because I haven't seen another video yet. LOL .... here it is!!! Looks so awesome!! Won't be long before the basement will stay nice and dry :D I'm telling ya ... this time next year you'll be inside looking outside!!
I've said it before y'all are amazing!!! I love this series. BTW you used my favorite YT cover music, really catchy and cool, great guitar!!! I assume because of the views you will put in lots of windows in the upper floors!!! TY
Are you going to set up "shop" on the quadrant that you've done? You could put a few sheets of plywood over the joists that are already up. That way, you can load the joists from the bank on the outside, allowing you to lower the joists instead of having to lift each of them up. You'll still need the scaffolding, but at least it would save you some of the awkward lifting over your heads.
You probably already know but Ibuprofen is hard on the kidneys even at low doses, inflammation and consequently pain can be helped by extra Vit D3 and tumeric in capsules, check it out.
They're a healthy couple so ibuprophen should not be a problem unless taking 800 mg every 6 hours chronically. Ideally could take less, like 400 mg every 8 hours but an 800 mg dose twice a day is not a problem at all. Just make sure to drink adequate fluids.
dude, there is no over doing the joist or blocking between them once set. same for the walls. I build 2x8, and 2x10, when the code zoning called for 2x4 ,or 2x6. the inspector was very happy. also make sure that you use hurricane tie downs at least four on any exterior wall top. as they like too make sure that the roof will stay up to a force four hurricane. I believe that over building works best. also use form when possible. or rock wool. glass just doesn't hold up long term.
I know you said your going to give us your reasons why you chose to do your first level the way you did, but I was wondering if you had considered using spanncrete for the flooring at that level.
Looking good but if you pull a string perpendicular to your joist across the top for a level then you can use it instead of the level and save you some time
Seems like the hangers you used for the ledger board have a downside due to the fact that you have to move the floor joist sometime due to the 16 inch centers.
dealing with the joist hangers. Rather than measuring 1000 times.. use a clamp to hold the bottom with a scrap piece of wood. then you can set the top of the joist even with the top of your ledger board. slide in your joist hanger.. and nail it off do the same on the other end of the joist. Sure will make your work easier faster and likely more accurate. You are only concerned with getting crown up and the tops all matching.
@@Guildbrookfarm Yes I watched the entire video. What you did was entirely correct but slow. Slow is fine but I know you want to get it all done before the weather moves in
@@Guildbrookfarm Another way of doing this. is fairly straight forward. I use a straight edge made for cutting sheet goods like ply wood. Place it across on joists that are perhaps 7 foot apart. make sure it is level.. Then just push the joists up till they meet the straight edge. Now all of your joists will be level on top and easy enough to install your hangers.
Side load beams are way beefier than traditional beams because the forces are not distributed the same way. I'm building my house right now and we have triple 2x12 Doug fir to do that same support. The trade off is columns and head room.
_You might want to get a single bag, and place it on the backside, then place your hammer upside down in it, with the handle up. You'll come to find out it's super easy to get to, and always out of your way._
Regarding the 2x12 walk plank you are using, I would suggest, for safety's sake, creating a strong back by nailing/screwing a 2x4 on edge to the bottom of the 2x12. This would stiffen the 2x12 and reduce the "bounce".

FYI always put a dab of construction adhesive to the bottom of the hanger it helps with the floor squeaking later on.

Would you please explain why the joists are sticking up above the top of the LVL beam? Just curious is all.

@@Guildbrookfarm Yes I watched the entire video. What you did was entirely correct but slow. Slow is fine but I know you want to get it all done before the weather moves in
@@Guildbrookfarm Another way of doing this. is fairly straight forward. I use a straight edge made for cutting sheet goods like ply wood. Place it across on joists that are perhaps 7 foot apart. make sure it is level.. Then just push the joists up till they meet the straight edge. Now all of your joists will be level on top and easy enough to install your hangers.
Amazing work.

Just a question, what was your thought with setting floor joist above the center beam?
Am curious as well.
Would have been way faster and stronger. Wouldn't need as large a beam either.
David Love I understand the faster part, but the beam is still supporting the same weight. so how could it be smaller?
It couldn’t be smaller
Side load beams are way beefier than traditional beams because the forces are not distributed the same way. I'm building my house right now and we have triple 2x12 Doug fir to do that same support. The trade off is columns and head room.
hola me gusta tu trabajo ,tienes muy Buena acctitud y mucha paciencia good job
Nice Work!
This is why High End Builders are going to using Engineered Lumber!
Any reason you chose standard lumber over engineered, for your joists?
Mostly cost
_You might want to get a single bag, and place it on the backside, then place your hammer upside down in it, with the handle up. You'll come to find out it's super easy to get to, and always out of your way._
Put the coat on outside the tool bags & belt
Why did you locate your beam height lower than your floor joists? Will you not have to fill in this area later?
I was wondering the same thing, although it looks like a 2 by will be just about perfect to fill the gap
But do you realize how much faster and just as efficient, if they were flush with the beam. Flush them and go. Twice as fast if not 3 times
col stace that’s my point!
You're doing an awesome job, always great to watch, thumbs up !
What brand/type of construction adhesive do you plan to use for the plywood ?
Thanks for hanging out with us! 👍🏻
@@Guildbrookfarm , Thank you. I added a question a little late, sorry.
No specific brand. It’s just subfloor adhesive.
