I gotta say, I feel bad for people that aren't into this kind of stuff and are missing out on the joy of this content. This to me is genuine entertainment along with education. You guys are an example of what's good about the internet. Thanks for sharing the experience. I'm sure the camera work and editing is a job in itself.
Hey Paul I am loving this project! If you are so inclined, I hope that when you demo the old house you will look into promoting the Restores that are run by Habitat for Humanity. So many shows just throw everything in the dumpster. You have a big following and people respect you so you would be an awesome ambassador for their great cause. Thanks again for sharing this project with us. I am learning a lot!
@@evictioncarpentry2628 I'd have extremely little tolerance for pushback from a donation orginazation. The only allowance would be if they were actually picking it up, in which case it's reasonable to make sure that someone's just not trying to offload trash onto them.
even if not restore but another building recycle/resell, i love shopping at those places to find things that are just not affordable/financially good investment otherwise (all 3 of my bathroom sinks) for my mobile home
Dudes I hope you're taking the time to enjoy this process, what I wouldn't give to frame one more house with my old man. Lovin' the videos, production is absolutely kick ass.
Same here! I took my Dads building skills for granted thinking he would be around forever. Well, now I'm building on my own and its just not the same without my Dad.
Wish I had a Dad that taught me stuff.. my boss right now taught me more than anyone about construction. My Dad is still alive but I don't even know where he lives..
This is by far the absolute best construction video on the tube. No offense to the Perkins boys but Studpack are everyday guys getting it done!! Such a joy to watch. A big thank you for sharing your build with all of us.
perkins used to be good now its all just timelapses and too much talking. There used to be more raw quality to the videos that was great its just to overedited now.
I'm not terribly nostalgic or sentimental generally. But I gotta say these videos do make me miss my dad. He passed in 2012 at 83. He was an aerospace engineer, but also a DIY-everything guy. Paul reminds me of him a bit from when I was young in his tone, mannerisms, and general way of being. Heh. 🙂 Keep up the great work guys. Rock and roll! 🤘
Matt Risinger before the build show had this content for the up and coming. You are putting the best practice in action as Matt promotes, good products and technique. Jordan is fortunate to have you (dad) guiding him through this process… Jordan is talented in capturing, editing and engaging in this process as is Rad.! Always looking forward to new content. Thank you.
And 4th point of defense.... it's your project, you're seasoned craftsmen and if you thought it was really detrimental to the integrity of the build, you'd have done it another way. Great stuff, as always! I'm new to the channel and I'm loving this build and also checking out content from years past. Keep 'em coming!
Ditto. It is my dream job also. I was so jealous when he got it. I was born and raised here in Houston but would have relocated for that one. The bonus would have been working alongside Norm.
20% of your subscribers have already watched this video, posted just 1 day ago! That's incredible engagement and a big reflection of your quality content. If others are anything like, me, I keep checking almost daily for a new Stud Pack video to drop! I'm hooked on the Stud Pack House Build and the videos seem to just get better. Shout out to Rad for his first speaking part - good job. Keep throwing the muscle a bone. Seriously though, I'd like to see Rad get even more involved as he's been on this build since the beginning. Keep up the great work and THANKS for providing such an amazing channel.
Your neighbors are probably feeling bad that your garage is looking better than their home. Cant wait to see the finish product. Thanks for keeping us on your journey.
Wait a minute. If the tape overlapped I could see taping from the ground up as you say but nothing overlaps here so it doesn’t make sense. What do you think now?
@@michikoiesaka3365 The horizontal seams cause small gaps. From my research, it is best to tape a low vertical, then connect all horizontals. Then the next set of verticals will be on top of all the seams
Wonderful video y’all. Don’t forget above all else you are doing this together and are in no hurry. We will always be the needy public but your TRUE fans want you to go at a good pace and have fun! No one here would be upset if you took a break or missed a few days. Have fun guys. We all adore you ❤ don’t forget to keep it fun and not work 😊
Agree. Also, Safety has to be number One on any job. Take your time, work safe, and do it right. Have fun, learn while building, and above all, nobody gets injured on the job.
Really enjoy the videos. I'm sure you are quite busy, but at some point would love a video explaining the financials of this, i.e., how you can stop working on customer projects and solely build this entire house. I assume YT is a big part of being able to do this, but a video to explain would be great!
What I think the greatest thing is besides how great he works with his son and I think that's his son-in-law that his knowledge is Way Beyond and you make sure everything is done the right way
Awesome Job Guys! Love the longer videos! It's crazy to see the Evolution of the Channel, I've been watching for quite some time, seen every video, but I started watching not long after ya'll started doing videos. To see Paul going from super nervous on Camera and barely talking to now being super comfortable and fluid, its awesome. Also from doing smaller bathroom remodels, to full room, kitchen, living room, and now the House/Garage build! Jordan and Rad are also gaining massive knowledge and skills on every project as you guys go on, thats invaluable. I'm not forgetting the editing either, Jordan does a great job and only gets better each video. It's truly awesome to be able to watch and see the progress. Keep up the good work guys, I can't wait to see the future videos on the Studpack House. 😀
I've been a carpenter / remodeler for 43 years. Everything this guy tells you is spot on. LISTEN to him !! I just ran across the channel last week and I'm suffering from sleep depravation from trying to go back and watch every dang one of their videos. This is the way it works for the average remodeler It ain't easy. Stud Pack, You are the Man.
Hey guys. I love your process on this build. A lot of thought is going into this one. Thats a siding nailer btw. Not great for sheathing, hence the underdriven nails. You want the framing coil gun, loaded with 8d ringshanks. But, if your going with hardie plank siding, it will work great! Love ya'll!
looks great guys!! only thing I would mention is that there should be a mud sill under the screw jack for the scaffold. create a wider base so if it rain the scaffold won't sink on ya. take care and keep it up!
earliest I've ever been.. love how often you guys are putting out the videos... You guys definitely are taking your time... nothing wrong with that. more importantly... your doing it right the first time.
Another great video. It's really starting to take shape. Looking fantastic. Rad has been an excellent addition to the team. Nice to see him get in on the explanations. Looking forward to the next one.
That horizontal area above the stairs could be a great attic storage for ammo and such for the zombie apocalypse. Just put the flooring on it and you have storage out of sight. Just an idea.
IM JUST REG WORKER, BUT I DID IT IN 3 DIFFERENT DEVALMENTS FROM CONDOWS TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. U ALWAYS ANSER ALL MY QUESTIONS EVERYTIME I WATCH ON U TUBE. TKS.
As a safety professional, thank you for making sure the scaffold was square, level and plumb. Please consider using some PFAS when you handle the roof. Be safe!
This series is awesome, I’m jealous it’s something I have always wanted to do. Love the video frequency as well. You guys are killing it, on the road to a million subs
Guys I suggest that when cutting, routing, and planing the manufactured structural wall and floor panels that you wear a respirator. The dust from the glue/resins/chemicals and sawdust is terrible for the lungs.
Again my favorite building team on track. Congratulations on reaching 500K! You guys keep on pumping them out and we’ll keep on watching, commenting and telling everybody I know about you guys. Keep up the great work! 👍🏼
I've been dreaming of building a home of my own in the future and you guys are giving me the confidence that it's possible. Absolutely loving this series. Thank you for covering everything in such great detail
Something we do when we're doing setting up scaffolding on the outside of a building is we give it a very slight (1-2 degrees) lean to it towards the building, so if it does fall for any reason whatsoever, it falls towards the building instead of away, giving it an added safety.
This takes me back to when families used to watch weekly tv shows.. back when you had to wait a whole week after the “too be continued” popped up on the screen! Every day I check my notifications to see if you guys have uploaded again! Keep it up fellas! Amazing and educational content!!!
Sheathing looks good. Now for the criticism. Scaffolding over 6 ft requires handrail. I know it’s hot but you have already documented a safety hazard. Somebody falls and the insurance company tells you”AMF”. 2. Put your bags on. If you’re going to be a carpenter,be a carpenter. 3. Put 6-8 nails in a sheet and press on. I can hear my old boss screaming about “ a dollar waiting on a dime. Jordan can fill the perimeter and field during his off hours. Tie a tag line on the scaffold to pull up the nailer. Now for Pop’s. Break out your Amex etc and buy a real handheld saw. Skil 77 with mag frame and a 50 foot cord. But other than that keep up the good work. In spite of my keyboard rant I do enjoy the videos. Not a keyboard warrior. Been there done that got the scars and worn out joints from selling my body to the job.
You guys are AWESOME!!!! I luvvvvvvv wathching Stud Pack!!! I don't watch many movies or TV series but I luvvvvv watching Stud Pack videos!!!! Wish I could do my life over again and be a finish carpenter rather than a Library worker.
Lookin' good gentlemen! A few things...I notice you're having to pound a few nails that aren't sinking in all the way...maybe kick the air pressure up a bit??? Big concern. I appreciate all your forethought on the air seal...what about rainfall on the second floor? Will there be anywhere for drainage to go??? Might want to think about it... And for your trusses...you will need a crane, plan on it. Keep on keepin' on brothers!!!
Best channel to learn a variety of things I didn’t know. A huge Thank you to the Stud Pack crew for not only providing great content but teaching us DIY’ers the tricks of the trade. I appreciate that.
I hit the bell and they pop up on my feed as soon as they come out. Plus recently it's always been right after I come home from work and start to relax 👍
At every seam between zip R sheets, the specs call for nails every six to 8 inches for meeting a normal wind shear. I had to install blocking between the studs at the horizontal seams to meet the Huber nailing guide. Perhaps your wind load is less in Texas than mine in Pennsylvania Poconos mountains. When you build the house, make sure you have something to nail into at every seam. Of course, it’s easier to put the blocking between studs before you sheath.
Hey just a suggestion but if you are having the roof sheething delivered, maybe it can be put through one of the big windows upstairs. Stack it on the floor. Then we would leave a 2 x 4 foot hole in the roof to pass up playwood through the trusses. Youll have to find a way down once you put the last 2x4 piece in. We had a fork lift. Maybe an extention ladder
I thought I heard Paul say that the trusses were going to be pre-sheathed before they are installed. Maybe I missed something, but I think that's the plan.
studpack team , that pipe you cut .. being dark on the inside.. its acid etched .. from the leaves sitting in the water.. think like a Tea .. more common with oaks ... ever seen a small pond lined with oaks be black and yet clear at the same time.. I think its tannic acids ..
I feel like you guys definitely took notes from the BUILD channel. Going to be epic! I hope you do solar and power walls so you're not reliant on the grid, while also being super efficient due to all the insulation and being air toight.
Greetings from South Africa. It's Wed, 12h40am, and I'm watching the awesome StudPack crew. Hey StudPack crew, wow..... the Zip sheathing is looking fantastic. Paul....... excellent choice on the scaffolding deal. It makes you guys job so much easier. Build coming along nicely. P.S. it's good to hear Rad also speaking in the videos 😅. Cheers team StudPack. Stay safe and work safe.
In my home country 99.9% of construction is brick and mortar, so it is surprising how fast wood framing is, but also how much more complicated it is. I also feel like concrete and brick is way more durable; no mold or termites or wood rot. I’m surprised there is not more brick and mortar used in the US.
@robbbbbie12 it's pressure treated lumber. Treated with chemicals to reduce damage. Also, you don't get wood rot because the wood does not touch moisture through the soil because of the concrete pad. Most houses built here in America are built on a concrete slab and older houses were built with a brick or block foundation, and the wood sits about 6 inches off the ground aside from the pillars which are usually encased in cement
@@robbbbbie12wood is readily available and cheaper. It’s also much easier to upgrade or modify with wood structures vs block/concrete. Both have their place though
Man this series has me looking in anticipation to see when a new video is uploaded. You guys should use the Premier feature so we can be more in anticipation lol
Great job crew. Can't wait to see Matt join you guys in the next few videos I'm sure unless he's coming by afterwards. Either way it's nice to see you guys doing some of those great steps on this build and it's going to be huge testing and seeing how you can improve and on what for the big house.
Yeah I'm curious to see what Matt will say about some of their lower budget decisions and their effectiveness. They look good but I'd trust his opinion, too. Hopefully he helps them out for some BOMBER windows!
“It’s all black inside. What is that?” Leaves fell in the pipe when it was full of water and steeped in the sun into a lovely strong tea. The pipe is stained with tannins like an old tea pot.
Wow! I look foward to watching the progress on the apartment/garage. You are my favorite construction, remodeling channel. Anyone who watches this channel is learning so much. Thank you!
Piece of advice: ditch the router bit you're using and grab a panel pilot bit, it's literally what they're made for. But aside from that, great video again as usual 👍
The garage is looking great, guys. So great, in fact, that I'd like to share a tip. Hold the nailer firmly against the surface through the full shot including the recoil, and it will sink the nail to the correct depth. Pulling the nailer away during the recoil is why you have to go back over them with a hammer.
Paul has so much knowledge and experience, making building look easy. Love tuning in to the videos and watching this go up. Small suggestion for the roof, add some permanent roof anchors. Wish I would have had some put in when my roof was replaced.
Can we get a cost update on your materials? What a perfect scenario to utilize an amazing "diy" channel to help finance building a dream home. Are the sponsored materials free? Just curious to see a price point discussed in the videos for anyone curious about using their products.
3:54 yeah I hope you saw my comment about pressing that button on the chalk line to make it easier to pull out. Most never even know it's there! I'm so excited for these videos!!
I love this channel. One of the best channels on all of TH-cam. I love watching you guys on your projects and it’s the highlight of my day when there’s a new video. But I got to say, once I see that spot on the back of those khaki shorts, I cannot un-see it. 😂
I love that stairwell detail. Y’all gonna have the ultimate garage for sure. Scaffolding is the way to go and a good set will see you thru thousands of jobs.👍 As a kid I used scaffolding all the time w my dad and didn’t realize how lucky we were and how much harder those jobs would have been if we’d had to work off a pair of ladders instead. Having that stability under you when you’re lifting a full sheet or a trying to align two boxes on opposite sides of the house is a big deal. Hopefully that $2k makes big dividends for the Stud Pack Team.
It's great to see things coming together. I really like the attention to detail you are giving this project and I wish contractors up here did even half this much. The scaffolding was a great idea, though the safety guy in me would love to see some horizontal braces on the front of that setup to give a railing and increase the lateral stability of the scaffold, especially as you get up to the third and higher levels. Also, don't forget to use mud sills underneath your screw jacks. It's not so critical when it's sunny, but any soft ground will settle under the small footprint of those jacks. A 1' piece of 2x12 would be enough to help spread that load out a lot.
I'm surprised you made it home with the scaffolding. After strapping it down, you didn't hit it and say, "That's not going anywhere," unless it was done off camera.
Nice. You guys are a well oiled team. In the heat it is hard to think of safety, but there was one shot where someone was on the scafold above and using a big hammer. The head of the person below was right below. Consider a hard had if someone is nailing above you. A little fatigue and sweat with that dreadful heat is all it takes for an accident! Stay safe. Looking forward to the roof.
Hi again fellas. You made an OK case for sheathing walls after stick framing. I don’t agree with you but to each his own. Sheathing when walls are on the ground is much safer and faster. A tape measure & laser solves your problem with “straddling” floors and almost eliminates the need for time consuming staging/scaffolding. FYI; OSB has greater strength on its long axis, and best practice says to install it horizontally. Please work safe
I think your order of operations makes sense, based on how you are doing the job. Also, the long walls would be pretty damned heavy if you pre-sheathed them. Doable, but you might have needed extra hands or a wall jack, so I think you have done quite well. (But I admit, I am a handy fellow, not a construction worker.) All that said, thanks for the content. I get a kick out of watching other people work!
I like how they connected the walls with vertical sheets. Definitely adds to the rigidity. If you do this for a living you may have some techniques to make it faster but I think they are doing great and also not cutting any corners.
I like how often the Gang is putting out new videos.
Same
Same can’t wait to see how the garage turns out…
Yess, looks like they’re basically doing this full time and i’m 100% here for it
You know what they say about wutang.
I want a 30 minute build video and a 10 minute logistics video. 2 vids a week
I gotta say, I feel bad for people that aren't into this kind of stuff and are missing out on the joy of this content. This to me is genuine entertainment along with education. You guys are an example of what's good about the internet. Thanks for sharing the experience. I'm sure the camera work and editing is a job in itself.

Break out your Amex etc and buy a real handheld saw. Skil 77 with mag frame and a 50 foot cord. But other than that keep up the good work. In spite of my keyboard rant I do enjoy the videos. Not a keyboard warrior. Been there done that got the scars and worn out joints from selling my body to the job.
You guys are AWESOME!!!! I luvvvvvvv wathching Stud Pack!!! I don't watch many movies or TV series but I luvvvvv watching Stud Pack videos!!!! Wish I could do my life over again and be a finish carpenter rather than a Library worker.
Lookin' good gentlemen!
A few things...I notice you're having to pound a few nails that aren't sinking in all the way...maybe kick the air pressure up a bit???
Big concern. I appreciate all your forethought on the air seal...what about rainfall on the second floor? Will there be anywhere for drainage to go??? Might want to think about it...
And for your trusses...you will need a crane, plan on it.
Keep on keepin' on brothers!!!
Best channel to learn a variety of things I didn’t know. A huge Thank you to the Stud Pack crew for not only providing great content but teaching us DIY’ers the tricks of the trade. I appreciate that.
Crazy how often I’m checking for new videos of your guys stuff. Keep them coming!!
I hit the bell and they pop up on my feed as soon as they come out. Plus recently it's always been right after I come home from work and start to relax 👍
At every seam between zip R sheets, the specs call for nails every six to 8 inches for meeting a normal wind shear. I had to install blocking between the studs at the horizontal seams to meet the Huber nailing guide. Perhaps your wind load is less in Texas than mine in Pennsylvania Poconos mountains. When you build the house, make sure you have something to nail into at every seam. Of course, it’s easier to put the blocking between studs before you sheath.
They're in hurricane country: there will be plenty of wind loads to worry about.
Hey just a suggestion but if you are having the roof sheething delivered, maybe it can be put through one of the big windows upstairs. Stack it on the floor. Then we would leave a 2 x 4 foot hole in the roof to pass up playwood through the trusses. Youll have to find a way down once you put the last 2x4 piece in. We had a fork lift. Maybe an extention ladder
I thought I heard Paul say that the trusses were going to be pre-sheathed before they are installed. Maybe I missed something, but I think that's the plan.

What a nice, big milestone. Great job guys, really loving the build and feeling the heat along with you to your north in DFW
studpack team , that pipe you cut .. being dark on the inside.. its acid etched .. from the leaves sitting in the water.. think like a Tea .. more common with oaks ... ever seen a small pond lined with oaks be black and yet clear at the same time.. I think its tannic acids ..
Much love, guys! Love the energy, love the momentum, love the work. Among the finest channels out there.
I feel like you guys definitely took notes from the BUILD channel. Going to be epic! I hope you do solar and power walls so you're not reliant on the grid, while also being super efficient due to all the insulation and being air toight.
Greetings from South Africa. It's Wed, 12h40am, and I'm watching the awesome StudPack crew. Hey StudPack crew, wow..... the Zip sheathing is looking fantastic. Paul....... excellent choice on the scaffolding deal. It makes you guys job so much easier. Build coming along nicely. P.S. it's good to hear Rad also speaking in the videos 😅. Cheers team StudPack. Stay safe and work safe.
Love the work! The lack of tool bags is killing me! Let’s send the boys so bags
they arrived yesterday 👍😁
Awesome 👏🏽
As an eastern european i got amazed how fast you can build from wood. And good work for you guys!
In my home country 99.9% of construction is brick and mortar, so it is surprising how fast wood framing is, but also how much more complicated it is. I also feel like concrete and brick is way more durable; no mold or termites or wood rot. I’m surprised there is not more brick and mortar used in the US.
@robbbbbie12 it's pressure treated lumber. Treated with chemicals to reduce damage. Also, you don't get wood rot because the wood does not touch moisture through the soil because of the concrete pad. Most houses built here in America are built on a concrete slab and older houses were built with a brick or block foundation, and the wood sits about 6 inches off the ground aside from the pillars which are usually encased in cement
Zoltnagy, I will guess, based on your name (Hungarian?), that you live in Central Europe.
@@robbbbbie12wood is readily available and cheaper. It’s also much easier to upgrade or modify with wood structures vs block/concrete. Both have their place though
The content is amazing guys. Keep up the good work. I can watch you guys all day.
Man this series has me looking in anticipation to see when a new video is uploaded. You guys should use the Premier feature so we can be more in anticipation lol
500 Thousand Subs ! Way To Go! Congrats Guys... Keep up the good work
Great job crew. Can't wait to see Matt join you guys in the next few videos I'm sure unless he's coming by afterwards. Either way it's nice to see you guys doing some of those great steps on this build and it's going to be huge testing and seeing how you can improve and on what for the big house.
Yeah I'm curious to see what Matt will say about some of their lower budget decisions and their effectiveness. They look good but I'd trust his opinion, too. Hopefully he helps them out for some BOMBER windows!
No wrap? No felt? We don't need no stinkin' wrap or felt! Hooray for Zip! Beyond groovy!
“It’s all black inside. What is that?” Leaves fell in the pipe when it was full of water and steeped in the sun into a lovely strong tea. The pipe is stained with tannins like an old tea pot.
Wow! I look foward to watching the progress on the apartment/garage. You are my favorite construction, remodeling channel. Anyone who watches this channel is learning so much. Thank you!
Piece of advice: ditch the router bit you're using and grab a panel pilot bit, it's literally what they're made for. But aside from that, great video again as usual 👍
The garage is looking great, guys. So great, in fact, that I'd like to share a tip. Hold the nailer firmly against the surface through the full shot including the recoil, and it will sink the nail to the correct depth. Pulling the nailer away during the recoil is why you have to go back over them with a hammer.
This is looking amazing. Keep it up. I can't wait to see the roof!
Paul has so much knowledge and experience, making building look easy. Love tuning in to the videos and watching this go up. Small suggestion for the roof, add some permanent roof anchors. Wish I would have had some put in when my roof was replaced.
Can we get a cost update on your materials? What a perfect scenario to utilize an amazing "diy" channel to help finance building a dream home. Are the sponsored materials free? Just curious to see a price point discussed in the videos for anyone curious about using their products.
3:54 yeah I hope you saw my comment about pressing that button on the chalk line to make it easier to pull out. Most never even know it's there! I'm so excited for these videos!!
We did see it! It blew our minds.
I love this channel. One of the best channels on all of TH-cam. I love watching you guys on your projects and it’s the highlight of my day when there’s a new video. But I got to say, once I see that spot on the back of those khaki shorts, I cannot un-see it. 😂
I love that stairwell detail. Y’all gonna have the ultimate garage for sure.
Scaffolding is the way to go and a good set will see you thru thousands of jobs.👍 As a kid I used scaffolding all the time w my dad and didn’t realize how lucky we were and how much harder those jobs would have been if we’d had to work off a pair of ladders instead. Having that stability under you when you’re lifting a full sheet or a trying to align two boxes on opposite sides of the house is a big deal. Hopefully that $2k makes big dividends for the Stud Pack Team.
Love watching y’all build - everything g you’re doing is what I want when I build my house with my wife.
It's great to see things coming together. I really like the attention to detail you are giving this project and I wish contractors up here did even half this much. The scaffolding was a great idea, though the safety guy in me would love to see some horizontal braces on the front of that setup to give a railing and increase the lateral stability of the scaffold, especially as you get up to the third and higher levels. Also, don't forget to use mud sills underneath your screw jacks. It's not so critical when it's sunny, but any soft ground will settle under the small footprint of those jacks. A 1' piece of 2x12 would be enough to help spread that load out a lot.
I'm surprised you made it home with the scaffolding. After strapping it down, you didn't hit it and say, "That's not going anywhere," unless it was done off camera.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Nice. You guys are a well oiled team. In the heat it is hard to think of safety, but there was one shot where someone was on the scafold above and using a big hammer. The head of the person below was right below. Consider a hard had if someone is nailing above you. A little fatigue and sweat with that dreadful heat is all it takes for an accident!
Stay safe. Looking forward to the roof.
Keep it up guys, lookin good! 👍
the black circles on the zip sheathing are where you should be nailing, that is what they are there for.
great to see this coming along
Most of the time. We nailed into the studs. Sometimes the circles no line up, they're a guide
Dad need a different color short there 😁
That scaffolding sure is pretty!
Paul is literally sweating his ass off in the heat! :)
Friday it was 101°F less than two hours before sunset.
A real man sweats a lot, everywhere.😊
It was so hot, his gooch juice was showing.
Not “literally”.
@@seanm3226 More like literally sweating off his ass instead of sweating his ass off. 😉
Awesome work… I love the transparency with those little hiccups… great job!!!!
Did you see Rad’s eyes when Paul said he was going to be using a hammer? 😂😂😂
Hi again fellas. You made an OK case for sheathing walls after stick framing. I don’t agree with you but to each his own. Sheathing when walls are on the ground is much safer and faster. A tape measure & laser solves your problem with “straddling” floors and almost eliminates the need for time consuming staging/scaffolding. FYI; OSB has greater strength on its long axis, and best practice says to install it horizontally. Please work safe
I think your order of operations makes sense, based on how you are doing the job. Also, the long walls would be pretty damned heavy if you pre-sheathed them. Doable, but you might have needed extra hands or a wall jack, so I think you have done quite well. (But I admit, I am a handy fellow, not a construction worker.) All that said, thanks for the content. I get a kick out of watching other people work!
I like how they connected the walls with vertical sheets. Definitely adds to the rigidity.
If you do this for a living you may have some techniques to make it faster but I think they are doing great and also not cutting any corners.
I absolutely love everything about you guys and your videos! I smile through the entire thing every time. Loved the music starting at 21:50.
You guys are zipping through this! (Sorry...couldn't resist). Great video, amazing progress! Keep the vids coming!
Congrats on 500k subs! Heck yeah brother!
