What about past videos?? Do those count too?? 😂😂
🍻
Wait I wasn't supposed to already be wasted? Well I guess I messed up 😂
While you've got the walls open, plan for your towel bars, toilet paper holders, etc. Put blocking in the walls where they will be hung. Hanging stuff like that just on sheetrock is a pain.
Most people know to use blocking for handrails and cabinets, but don't think about the small stuff. You could also plan ahead and put blocking where there could potentially be ADA handrails in the bathroom.
Just my 2¢.
You haven't watched their older videos, they always add more blocking than needed.
Paul is the king of blocking 😁
I'm worried about potential cable runs myself- not just 120V AC but also internet would be really good for them to knock out soon.
@@redwaller1 That's probably coming soon. That's part of the rough in, before they close up the walls. They still have a long way to go: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc.
There are some good example of blocking install in Perkin brothers videos.
I know it's kind of early to be thinking about this, but I have a recommendation regarding lighting. Where possible, it would be best to install lights with replaceable light bulbs, as opposed to integrated LED (throwaway) fixtures. As an electrician, I have had a lot of nasty jobs changing these out because they have a relatively-high failure rate for what they are advertised as (They don't last anywhere *near* the "25 years" advertised. If you do use them, get spares (for style and color temperature matching), and don't bury them in the drywall. Fixing a light turns into a multi-day process when you have to tear out drywall to replace a failed "Chineseum" LED light.
I think the industry needs a new way of doing things to redress this situation. Recessed cans are enormous, cause air leaks, and on the top floor protrude deep into the insulation. We need a thin, shallow, replaceable LED module and space to wire it without piercing into the attic. Maybe frame the attic floor in plywood like we'd currently apply drywall, strap below the ply with 2x3's, and then put drywall below that? That would provide 2" depth to have a variety of LED fixtures and fish wires without mucking around with the air barrier.
agree I only install fixtures still with the Edison socket have a choice and even LED much much easier to change later especially if anything over normal height easy to use a bulb changer on a stick
I put in a standard box, then mount the light to the box so i can change it to anything when the not 25 years bulb burns out in 5 years.
Remodeling a bathroom now in a 3 yo home. The electrician is doing the exact same thing-taking out the all-in-ones and putting in “real lights”.
He also said that way the owner can adjust the Kelvin rating of the lights if they want to.
Thoroughly agree, Led’s as it stands now, are grossly overrated. Several times now I have found what were new systems are suddenly unavailable, also leading or trailing edge dimmers, one or the other as industry standard would be good !
i dig u guys. ive been a carpenter for many yrs. a rule of thumb i follow is. "dont plumb the studs, plumb the plates" even if u have good studs the plates on a line "should" be right on.
on wednesday i was complaining to my gf that it had been 6 days since we had gotten a video and i was getting anxious. You guys are really flying since the pad was poured. i was happy to see this pop up, thats for sure. Jordon, mad respect for your video editing. you speed up the right parts, music choices are good, every video is more enjoyable to watch.
For a while I thought this was going to be a channel solely about digging grade beams :)
@@mjdamato😂😒
Thanks Dan!
Filming/editing used to be the hardest thing we had to do.
Now it’s one of the easiest! All of the logistics/scheduling/invoicing/emailing etc eats up a LOT of time. We may touch on it
@@StudPack that might be one of the rare indoor office video then...
This channel is better than anything on TV.
It's amazing to see the paradigm change from what we've been fed for 50+ years.
Before you seal up the walls, I think adding a pocket door for that bathroom is going to be a much better option that your standard swing door. Especially since you plan to have a vanity right in front of it.
Don't like the idea of an air grill from the garage to stairway, for fumes. Best to get the most separation you can. Also this makes the staircase part of the garage and then you have to make sure the stairway has the fire separation from the apartment (which it may). Still the staircase then shares the same air and fire area with the garage, and a garage shall not have a door directly into any sleeping room.
You guy's have my admiration working in triple digit heat . I actually never expected a video this week . Stay hydrated & safe.
One thing that you guys should think of the the air barrier aspect is zip taping all of the seams in the subfloor. That is a lot of lineal footage of cracks where air from the garage can come in from or leak out from the conditioned space. Keep up the great work!
I do not tape floors but do caulk
Their floor is tongue and grooved 1-1/4” AdvanTech . That is not going to leak anything!
@Mr572u that is not an airtight connection by any means. Plenty of people tape the seams on their subfloor for a high performance assembly. Taping the entire exterior on all sides is the easiest and most effective way of making a continuous air barrier.
One note on the sewer pipe main house: recommend to use cast iron for the vertical runs to manage sound. There are also sound blankets available. Makes a lot of difference. If blower door test comes in low (it always does): Aerobarrier or chase the leaks with a smoke pen. For the main house make sure you get the makeup air right. For the kitchen hood, make sure that the makeup air comes in close to where the hood is. Otherwise you blow conditioned air out. For makeup air, make sure you have a filter in line as well. For any filter boxes, go with a min of 2" filter. 4" is best. ERV: can be noisy due to coupling effects. Also pay special attention to the air inlet. Since you are pulling a lot of air, there is a very good chance of water getting sucked in during rain accumulating at the ERV.
The look on Dad's face when he grabbed the board and it wasn't nailed! This is when a good Dad thinks a million things. But ends up with youngsters what do they know? You just know I'm gonna disown him someday came thru quickly followed by I'll get him to pay for my retirement! Great video. Keep up in day, sleep at night! They got it...
That is the first time in all these US builds I have watched, that I have seen DPC under a floor plate, well done !
That last wall walking, frame grabbing maneuver there near the end made me think that Rad is wearing off on you. This is going to be one really airtight living space. Good job.
Double check that making the door wider still works with the vanity, if the door swings in to the bathroom. A wider door might smack in to the vanity. But great job! Love the progress.
This one felt like a throwback episode, just methodically crossing off the to-do list. Makes me realize I miss the older videos. Still love seeing the garage come together.
Windows at the top of the bathroom wall? Like above the door? Could let natural light in whilst still maintaining privacy.
I really like this idea.
Mirror those windows on that inside wall of the stairwell to give light to the stairwell also. Tall cavernous dark spaces can be oppressive.
When we built our house we took the blueprints to kinkos and had them laminated. It make it real easy just to roll it up and stick it in a stud bay when done for the day. Also dont get ruined by water and all dirty. Still have them 15 years later need to frame them one day and hang on wall.
Kinko's. Theres a name from the past! Like insty prints!
It's crazy. I do this same thing every single day. But I so much enjoy these videos. Really happy for Jordan, and happy that Paul is in a place to allow us to be happy for his son.
Love you guys, and I appreciate y'all.
I just can’t believe how far you guys have come I can still remember the mud hole Great jobs stud pack crew🎉
Haha... Mud hole sounds fun with a four wheeler.
Funny how much rain they got pouring the foundation. Now can even get rain longer then 5 minutes to cool things down. Funny how God works haha. Stay cool guys 😎 thanks for sharing the build with us
Can't ever click on these videos fast enough! You guys are doing great!
Total props to Stud Pack crew for attention to all the little details that will save energy for years to come.
Been checking the channel every half hour last 2 days! Salad* to finally see you!
Glad* 😂 sorry was typing a little fast and didn't check
Glad too, and salad 😄
I'm totally salad!
NOOOOO, I want to see an hour-long videos on these types of things from you guys you guys have to do at least an hour long when you are demolishing the house, and I would still love to see an hour-long video on this project at least once Pleeeaaassseee please please please please please please please. Love you guys thank you for the videos. Been following from the beginning.
they def need to invest in a cam that take the texas sun and do that timelapse from the roof ( I don't think they had planned for a roof access) and do it from there... then again they might have planned to invest in a security cam for the garage which might be perfect (??)
This is literally the only channel I have religiously watched every week non stop. I don't build anything nor will I probably ever but I love this content and chemistry.
I’m 61, and I’m glad to you doing it with the hip. I had my hip replacement in 2019, and starting to finally feel normal. Great seeing you doing it…
What are you planning for vapor management to prevent ridge rot (humidity rises to the top)?
I see people implement a vapor diffusion port at the ridge of the roof by using a permeable underlayment (like Delta Foxx) just along the ridge. Your Zip sheathing is sealed at your ridge though so it is going to trap moisture though, unless you cut slits in the Zip before installing the underlayment.
I like that you don't edit out mistakes. I can learn from your mistakes and your fixes
The stud pack trio:
Paul = The Brains
Rad = The Brawn
Jordan = The Artist
Fantastic!
Nice work! Have you guys considered adding a window or two inside that stairwell? Getting that natural lighting coming in during the daytime would brighten up that area.
I was coming here to say just that. May not want it on the outside wall (heat) but inside window, or a series across the top, will provide light and give visual notice when anyone is walking up/down the stairwell.
Maybe one of the solar tubes in the ceiling?
To save on the cost of running the AC 24 hour a day, think about installing a whole-house fan to suck out the hot air when the outside air is cooler than inside the air. You can cool the house before turning on the AC. Or, if the is cool enough outside, just run the w-h fan all night. That is, if the humidity is tolerable. Here in CA, it is not a problem. 🥵
If they have windows that open, they can open those up to move air (and stick a box fan in it at night). A whole-house fan might fail their goal of a high blower fan test.
@@janetdupree6353whole house fans aren't a good fit in Houston. During the summer there really isn't a time when the outside air is cooler than inside. It's about 11:30 pm and it's just barely under 90° here right now. Same with humidity through most of the year.
For this climate I think it's a better option to have a fully sealed (at the roofline) and conditioned attic space so the air ducts aren't running through a 120° area before blowing into the house.
I've been a framer for 5 years now! I can say without a doubt that you guys did a top quality job. Its actually satisfying to watch!
One thing I would suggest for the future, place blocking in the wall where you may want to put grab bars in the future if they are ever needed. That way those grab bars will have solid wood to attach to rather than using toggle bolts or other lessor fasteners to attach a grab bar to the wall that will have to support the weight of a person.
Stop it!, you’re not 60 Paul.
More like 50...great genes.
Thank you all for taking the time to video during the build. God Bless you all!
Man,the dad is starting to feel like my dad. A really great version. I’m a builder and I will put in another hour in the evenings and watching folks build. 😅
I love this series. It brings me so much joy to see dad kicking ass.
AG1 is everywhere on all the channels I watch, but I think that was the best sales pitch I have heard yet.
It's looking so good. Paul has so much on his mind that it all seems to want out at the same time. Look forward to every video.
Thank you for covering how the corners are framed for drywall!
I saw that as an issue on your first framing video - now it makes sense
Loving this series, seeing how air tight you guys are making the garage makes the 60s ranch i grew up in in look like a screen door.
I assume this is going to be a massive cathedral ceiling? If so, maybe consider installing collar ties and running LED strip lighting along the top. We have that in my kitchen, in addition to LED downlights, and it is very effective when you just want mood lighting.
I always get disappointed when the video ends. I just want to see more and more progress being made on the project. I'm sure Paul, Jordan, and Rad do too. Good problem to have, can't wait for the next video!
Pro Tip: When raising walls, use the frame nailer to pin the base-plate 2-3 times at an angle to the decking. It acts as a hinge. It's a specially ideal method when lifting outer walls and keeps the walls from slipping off.
I’ve seen them do that on other videos
@@1packatak On Studpack videos?
Yeah they showed a couple methods on a video of the outer walls. They preferred one that did not require removing the nails.@@y00h0011
Finally, after the foundation slab ordeal, you guys are back on the Stud Pack normal stride! Congrats! It looks great!
You will need a Zip System chairs, table, and bed. You can build anything with Zip.
You know it's hot! Pop's ears were getting red at the end and the lines weren't flowing as they should. You guys are champs to keep up the hard work in that heat!
I like the way you are building a air tight building. I look forward to seeing your next video!!!
Awesome guys, hit me up when you want to get the drywall up. I'll come help you out.
The gable end walls look really tall to me. Do they work with Texas wind? Especially the studs between windows.
It’s the fact that he is an old school man who enjoys working with his son and is a genuine person.
" Sealing The Ceiling "
not sure why i loved that line so much
One of the greatest pleasures in building is crossing off items on that long list. And then one day, you have that really short list...such a feeling...
I love this whole project and been here since the beginning. I am stoked for the next video.
Those “scrap” beveled 2x4s would make great French cleats for hanging things in the garage.
You are guys are AWESOME!!! The wisdom, teamwork, humor, and the music - (great editing/production Jordan), outstanding one and all!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Curious how to vent steam/moisture from the bathroom peak. Nice work fellas.
I love that your son and son-in-law and you work together!
Can I suggest we get a new channel photo with rad too, hes definitely earned his place in yalls pack!!!
Nice work! But what about the gable ends flush framing and backing for the vaulted ceiling connection to the walls? I would run (minimum) 1×4 strapping or (better) 2×4 purlins perpendicular to the trusses. This would also help with drywall sagging and nail/screw pops in the ceiling.
This video was a bright spot in a dark day after some nasty storms rolled thru Michigan yesterday. Your videos always lift my spirits. Can’t wait for more!
Guys some of us book off our Thursday nights to watch the new Stud Pack video!! I had to not only wait an extra day but I was driving home from the cottage when I saw there was a new video out. It was agony knowing I had an episode to watch. I had to put the coolers away, unpack the car... I'm not impressed guys ;!!!! haha I can't wait for these videos each week. Love the progress!!
This is so satisfying to watch. It soothes my OCD/Perfectionism tendencies to see the Stud Pack Standards applied.
Hello everyone. Just wanted to thank everyone at Stud Pack for all the great content. I have been planning to build an apartment over my existing garage, and your videos are the greatest at helping me figure out what to do and what not to do. Thank you from an old Devil Dog!!! Semper Fi!!!
I see some plumbing has been started too. You three are just killing it!!!
Enjoying the framing. All bathroom doors🎉 should be 3 ft. to allow for ADA , wheel chairs, and other fixtures. Keep up the good work!
well the only way up is stairs so not sure matters for this one and not sure there but where I am do not have to be ADA complaint residential but many do try have the master or at least one bedroom, bath ADA so when homeowners get older and just a good idea but usually main floor only ?
I look forward to your weekly videos. Seeing the project progress is awesome. Repurposing the ZIP for blocking is a great idea. Keep hydrated with your AG1. Keep it up!!
Loving this series guys. But one of the things ( or video subjects) I would like to see is all the preplanning of interior spaces. I have questions like: Did you build a 3D model? Did you hire an interior decorator (I know on a building project that doesn't sound good!!!) or how is the outside finished, what is the end game of colors and types of finish that you are building to. Show us that so we can see the progression towards it. Questions like: thinking about motorized shades and other home automation etc.. Just wondering what the approach was or is on this aspect?
But great work guys keep it up!! Be safe and stay well.
I know it's not important, but you must have some bloopers you can share? Paul's difficulty a few times in this video reminded me of past blooper endings you've posted.
Keep up the great work!!
Why didn’t the plumbers use BOCA Plates on the top and bottom plates. BOCA plates are 5” tall and will prevent nails placed in the top of baseboard from coming in contact with the pipes, electrical and such. Also when you use (2) 1-1/2” nail guards on the double top plates you run the risk of nails and screws landing between the plates and reaching the pipes or what ever is being protected.
The only building series on TH-cam that I look forward to seeing.
Looking forward to the blower door test results and I hope your hard work pays off. 😊
I so wish I could afford to hire these guys to build me a little studio apartment. They are simply the very best. Love the detail in all their work.
i built out my knee wall. the first time i cut the angle by hand then had to fix the waviness in the drywall with mud and no coat. the next time i bought a table saw and it ended up nicer and faster. nice to see someone else framing against a roof with angles.
Glad to see the Ultimate Extension Cord still being used!
Curious how you’re going to tackle building out those end trusses from 1.5” to match the 3.5” wall thickness for tall end walls! Love the content guys, it’s what I look forward to the most on the TH-cams!
Yeah I saw that one, plus they still need drywall nailers going up the gable walls in plane with the roof trusses
7:27 "This thing is absolutely massive"
As a german, that makes me laugh 🤣
Looking forward to the finish. You guys are doing an awesome job. Question when you put the reinforcement for the ceiling in the stairway I noticed you had two sections do you need to attach the two sections with a block or is it just good enough to secure them and let them be separate?
Stud pack is the best channel on TH-cam
Was worried about the ceiling above the stairs, glad you framed that in. Otherwise, if anyone fell from there without the framing completed, you're failing through levels of stairs not good.
Stud Pack, if possible, I highly recommend installing a radiant barrier to the Stud Pack house which will be a great benefit to be more efficient with heating and cooling, making the home up to 30% more energy efficient.
Another great choice would be using Rockwool insulation on the exterior and interior walls. There are many great benefits to using this product when it comes to heating/cooling and fireproofing the home. I will understand if it may not be in the budget if you choose another option though.
Great choice on using the Zipp system.
And does great on sound barrier.
@cantgetright3215
Indeed. They have a produced specifically designed for reducing acoustics as well while keeping the same benefits.
You guys should add a big transom window in the bathroom to get some light in there since you have such a tall ceiling
Studpack: I suggest you put in a skylight at the top of the stairs. Really makes it feel opne and welcoming. I see it frequently done thetop os stairwells, and it makes a great difference.
You guys need to get an air or battery powered caulk gun. So much faster when doing a lot of caulking and less waste because the output is very consistent.
Great progress!!
I don't usually comment, but I just wanted to say thanks for these vids! Love your guys' style! These types of vids are like therapy for me lol
Nice work hitting those details. Just a note that Zip Tape is pressure applied - need to use the roller after it's smoothed on or the adhesive won't activate. I love those Zip strip California corners for the drywall.
I'm thinking a vent at the top of the stairs to remove heat from the stairwell, even just a window. Weren't you planning to put a window on that landing anyway? Hot air venting out the top would passively draw cool air up from the garage.
that might fail the test tho...
@@PrograErrorThe stairwell is not subject to the blower test, because it's outside of the sealed interior space. That's why they used the Zip system on the framed wall between the apartment and the stairwell.
One thing I like to do is put blocking for towel holders and toilet paper holders and anything else that might need to be screwed in so it doesn't just get held by sheetrock
Watching the various USA builds, I'm always amazed how little insulation you all use. Even in Texas, while you don't have to worry much about heating (although last few years proved differently), I would think that you want to at least keep the heat out.
Assuming typical average summer outside temperature of 100F and internal temperature of 70F, your current walls (with only the 7/16 OSB, R-value of 0.55) will leak about 170W/m^2 (~16W/ft^2) of heat inside - and that's not counting the walls getting heated by the sun. I know that your walls won't get as hot as pavement (I have seen reports of 170F), but it would triple the heat load.
When you add insulation (for a 6" deep wall I assume R-21), when you include all thermal bridges caused by the studs, you will get total wall average of R-9, maybe R-10 (on walls without windows), that's still 10W/m^2 (~1W/ft^2, 2-3W/ft^2 including sun).
Compare that to a build I follow here in Poland (think ~Chicago climate). 250mm (~10") thick exterior walls made from areated concrete blocks (R-10) + another 250mm of XPS insulation (R-48) on the outside (+whatever siding/stucco he will put on later). That's somewhere around R-55 (including thermal bridges from poured concrete columns and headers), not counting windows. More insulation in the roof, something like R-68 between trusses. His heat load (if gates to hell opened here and we got a Texan summer) would be 1.7W/m^2 (0.16W/ft^2), and his level of insulation is considered at best average - about what you would get from a commercial developer.
On topic of solar heating, if you don't mind blinding the neighbors with snow white walls, maybe look into getting exterior paint with a calcium carbonate nanosphere pigment, with it your walls can be colder than ambient even in full sunlight (look up "infrared cooling paint" on YT)
I think you guys have a whole different mentality about building. You build for something that will last generations. I was in Western Europe this summer and didn’t see one asphalt shingle. They looked like slate or ceramic/porcelain. Maybe a composit shingle?
It makes my week and day when these videos are posted. I look forward to it so much!
I look forward to these every week and love watching the progress. I can't be the only one that would like to see a blooper video at some point though! Seems like you've done a few little ones before, but I'm sure you've got enough content for a good one!
Love seeing the progress.
I am looking forward to the plumbing video because I am always fascinated by how these are planned then installed. Also looking forward to the door blowing test to see how airtight the construction has gone. I don't know if this was addressed before, but what led to the choice of a wall mounted toilet vs conventional toilet? What is the pros and cons of a wall mounted toilet?
I really look forward to watching your videos on TH-cam. All the way from Australia. It's entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work.
I checked through the comments but couldn't find this answered. When you guys were putting the zip above the stairs i could see daylight peeking through where the roof sheathing meets the wall sheathing. Is that joint not taped? Keep up the great work. Loving the series. Even got my wife watching with me. She gets mad if i watch without her now.
I LOVE your dedication to precision and consistency over everything. It truly makes me proud to be an American, sharing this nation with true professionals like you guys. Simply superb! And Paul is the new and imoproved BOB VILA 2.0!
Paul, what happened to your knees??
Wouldn't it have been easier if you had framed the staircase ceiling first (from above) and then put the Zip on top? Not sure what you were thinking there.
So many details. You guys are amazing.
Jordan, what does the cards tattoo on your forearm mean?
Great intro Paul- you nailed all those summary points for the video
at 5:25 i was totally expecting a lumber yard clip on how you pick your wood and the explanation of stud length boards, etc...
Glad y'all are leaving in the little line flubs. I'm sure it's heartening to newer people who might be feeling insecure about their own efforts to see someone just laugh it off and plow through.
