Think we can make it in 10 days? I sure hope so! 🤘 Subscribe to keep up, September is PACKED with content. I have a HUGE tool announcement on the 11th, you guys are going to flip! #BANGON!
Nope, the decks still there! The deck is actually above the bedroom on the corner.. (terrible design in my opinion) because in the case that deck ever leaks? It's leaking onto living space!
Hey Matt I wanted you to know how you are affecting the youth you are targeting. I teach a Carpentry Class in Suburban Chicago and I have been using your videos to show my students how it really is. They really enjoy watching and have learned a lot of practical info along with asking me a ton of questions about what you are doing. Thanks so much for taking the time to do these videos they really help.
Hello Matt - Nice work! When attending college, I worked for a General Contractor corporation in the Syracuse New York area. There the codes called for sill sealer along all exterior pressure (PT) wall plates when they are in direct contact with concrete block or poured foundations. In some Downstate municipalities we had to add termite shielding prior to the sill sealer and the PT sill plates. We did not have to install wall stud blocking until the wall exceeded ten feet in length. I noticed that you did not have to use sill sealer or termite shielding on the exterior plates, but you did install blocking in eight foot walls. It’s interesting how our building codes differ.
There’s a difference between blocking. You’re thinking of fire blocking! 😊 Our blocking is to make sure our walls are rigid and don’t end up tweaked and crooked by the time the lumber dries out. It takes a bit, but quality is everything. Sill sealer has been a subject that’s been brought up many times, and to be completely honest I’ve never seen it in my lifetime. Built many big commercial frames and worked for nearly a dozen contractors over the years.
Matt, liked the time lapse. I have that same wall layout stick. Larry Haun sold me on it from reading his framing books. Love it. Kicking #ss on this build. Wish it was longer.
Just got your e-mail! I'll get those shirts out ASAP - I'll e-mail you when they're in route and refund that $$$. I told you I was hooking you up! Just been slammed with all sorts of stuff!
Curious why you dont snap 6" when doing slab on grade so the OSB sheathing sits flush with the concrete allowing for the siding to flow smoothly past for the 1" overhang that is common with siding? Resulting in no need for rodent caps
We frame face of framing flush with foundation. Substrate hanging over 1/2” directs water away from foundation instead of capillary action causing water to pull under the OSB or plywood and take forever to dry out. This has always been a debate amount builders!
@@Quietvibes07 Capillary action will still occur unless you run the OSB past the foundation. This why you install a rats guard. Your comment implies you expect water to get behind the final siding.
Hey Matt how’s it going a friend of mine recommended me to check out your videos to be honest you’re well educated and give great tips and a good way of explaining what to do and how the project is coming along RESPECT !! This is my first year becoming a wood framer for a new company any tips on what I should expect or how to read blueprints I’ve been checking out your videos hundreds and hundreds of times repeatedly daily trying to catch a few tips and experience myself. Appreciate the hard work you do.
Hey Matt great video man this style is the best. I want to get into carpentry but I don’t know how to start bro. I live in Jersey I don’t even know how to begin going to look for someone to work for who has as much knowledge and experience you do.
If you don't have an in with a local resid. contractor (which you can cold call and find a spot with someone, i'm sure) - Union pays well, has training opportunities and benefits. I don't like the union personally, wouldn't want to do it myself.. but it's just because of the repetition.. I like to do different things from time to time, union is a lot of one thing!
Great video Matt. One question I have is why you use your sill mud as the bottom plate? Aren’t you supposed to put a regular 2x4 plate (bottom plate) on top of mud sill? Thanks much.
What are the headers made out of where I live you have to use 2 2x10 with appropriate top and bottom plate on them for whatever size wall your framing and if it’s over 5’ you have to use 2 2x10 lvl those don’t look like they would pass hear
Nice work bro u n ur homies get down. I'm a framer too n I stared to see ur videos. Now I'm all in to them n I wanted to comment for a coo min but I was like should I or should I not and then I was like okay. Just wanted u to know keep does videos going bro .
All exteriors done? That was quick! U guys must not be in a union, or they’d be pissed! lol! Good job as always, at this pace you guys can do it in 10 days fa sure! @mattbangswood
My Dad was a lead in the union for years. Built one of the biggest college dorm rooms in this area. We like to move! Day two, the floor systems nearly complete. Day 3 it’ll be sheeted and plated, ready for second story.
i see you ise a measuring tape and count out 5 and a half for the plates. Wouldnt it be easier a take a piece of 2x6 and lay ot sown on the corners middle and mark the side of it. just a suggestion
First off - stoked that you're here! Right now we're using the 5.5HP Big Bore Makita Compressor (10 Gallon Tank) with an auxiliary tank (10 Gallon) as well.. 20 Gallon set up! Will comfortably run 5-6 guns.
edson luiz dos santos Santos 2x6 framing is required in plumbing and exterior walls (for insulation requirements). 2x4 framing for interior walls and sometimes garage walls to save money.
@ 7:00, left center, is that some kinda jig? Maybe you didn’t include it in the vid or maybe you’re confident with the slab guy but do you check for square? It’s not a big structure but I’m always a big fan of keeping things ‘tight’. 🤜🤛
It’s a 16” Lay Out stick - from Larry Haun. We have a 4” separation detail from the existing, so we pulled our numbers parallel, hit it with the 12’ - 16’ - 20’ and we were within a 1/16”. Definitely a fan of keeping things tight and right!
Very cool (12-16-20). So glad you didn’t say “Yea, we pulled diagonals and they were equal.” 🤦♂️ Pythagorean theorem - Not just close enough, EXACT every time - A²+B²=C². 🤜🤛
The existing building looked to be in pretty rough shape. Is there a reason they left it, rather than opting to demo and start from scratch? Is an addition handled differently from a brand new build from the ground up (from a building code standpoint)?
Dead honest - this is college housing. They're going to cram 7 dudes in here, charge $6,000 a month for rent and make some $$$. The houses get trashed though.. Cal Poly is one of the nicest colleges in CA, but the kids trash this whole area..
Hey Matt thanks for the knowledge as always! do you think framers will start integrating in the 21st cen framing be done offsite and saving crews time?? Entekra??
MattBangsWood yeah errors will be apart the new industry but I can see crews saving a week or two by simply doing the framing offsite.the warehouse in Modesto is on set to produce 10k-30k units at this site! All automation!
mundonyc would say they’ll be a great decrease in the need for intro level but the teams will become groups of 4 or 6 workers who can put up a houses floor plan in one day lol
Just curious, I’m studying blue print reading at my local college right now. When they pour the concrete, do they put the rebar for the top plates according to prints?
hey matt, how do you draw out the spacing for the studs and rough openings when you have the top plate tacked on the side, I tried to watch your paps do it but it looked like he was using a big crazy long looking stud template... if you have time I would love to hear about it! bangon 🤙🏼
We've gone from 2 guys to 7+, back down to 6 steady. Takes time to build perfection, we'll be there soon! Dead honest - I'm thinking 7 or 8 days we'll be done! Second story walls started going up on Day 3... Lol
great vid Matt, ill be watching all of them, i live in the Philippines from the UK, i have a single story concreat house 30'x50' which i intend to put second floor all lumber
Are coming up from the basement so there’s nothing in are way. U guys are slab on grade so u really can’t do it except where u could sneak a full sheet here and there
can i ask why most ppl dont have just a square home. is it the same price to have odd shapes? i figured it would be cheaper to just do a sqaure or rectangle
So you tack your top plates to your bottom plates only to get consistent stud measurements? Why cant you just use a tape when you lay your wall out to frame? Im not a framer and thanks for the videos!
Hey Matt I do windows and doors and I wanna start recording my jobs, curious which GoPro you said your using to record. Video and audio quality is great. Keep up the good work bro.
I do industrial rigging/ moving, chalk line and clear spray paint have saved our ass many times😂 different industries but all have to have the tools to get the job done and it seems most are the same

I love it when it goes like that!
That's how it's supposed to be tbhhh
If you only knew how fascinating it is to see framimg videos. In my next life I defenately will be a framing carpenter! Thank you. Thank you.
You don't hang about young man. So productive. Amazing work.

You do a very nice job, you inspire me to build my house with wood for first time and I will keep watching your videos to learn more
I appreciate you doing these videos, they are very valuable to a rookie framer like me
My best advice is to keep your head in the game! You'll go far.
Damn good job . Thanks for taking us along for the ride . Kicked a$$ in one day with only Four Guys
Love the videos keep them coming! Just finished my contractors test in Utah and can’t wait to get going. Thanks for the inspiration

Nice work excellent team work
Can you show the Hardie board and batt install with detail? And what you use to cut the material?
Thank you for your videos. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I want to learn so I can build my own home soon.
Angel Zarco Trejo me too!
You seem so young but have such a wealth of knowledge. Must’ve started young. Congrats on all the success professionally and via TH-cam
Matt, awesome work! Love the motivation and how you and your team work hard and fast.
Hey Matt great video man this style is the best. I want to get into carpentry but I don’t know how to start bro. I live in Jersey I don’t even know how to begin going to look for someone to work for who has as much knowledge and experience you do.
Look into the NJ Carpenters union. Great training and benefits.
If you don't have an in with a local resid. contractor (which you can cold call and find a spot with someone, i'm sure) - Union pays well, has training opportunities and benefits.
I don't like the union personally, wouldn't want to do it myself.. but it's just because of the repetition.. I like to do different things from time to time, union is a lot of one thing!
I like the way the episode with the plans now comes to reality and we can link the two. Awesome progress for 1 day 💪💪💪👍🏴🏴
That's the plan! I want to do a full walk through on structural sections and show it all!!!
Big timelapse's of wall framing is awesome
FOX is a beast and you guys are impressive.
Can you make a video on how to get started in this career? Thanks
sadietp step one learn to use all the tools
Local jobsites , walk In with a hardhat and some boots ask the foreman if they need a labor
Hey Matt. Big shout out for the UK. Great job bro. Smashed it.😎
Thanks man! We're getting there!
Great build. Live the videos
Keep postin' and I'll keep watchin'! You guys are animals man.
Very nice Matt, can't wait to see when it's done!!👍
I am excited to see what the announcement is going to be. your content is amazing and great to see. I am excited to see what comes next
great video man
Great video Matt. One question I have is why you use your sill mud as the bottom plate? Aren’t you supposed to put a regular 2x4 plate (bottom plate) on top of mud sill? Thanks much.
Awesome series mate 😀
I quite enjoy the time lapse, cool to watch the process 👍
Great job, you guys got this 10 day build!
Think so? I'm hoping so!
What are the headers made out of where I live you have to use 2 2x10 with appropriate top and bottom plate on them for whatever size wall your framing and if it’s over 5’ you have to use 2 2x10 lvl those don’t look like they would pass hear
Most of our headers are 6x6, 6x8 and 6x10. If it’s not that, we use double and triple 14” LVL for headers too.
Looking forward to this build.
Great video Matt!! I love watching your work.
Nice work bro u n ur homies get down. I'm a framer too n I stared to see ur videos. Now I'm all in to them n I wanted to comment for a coo min but I was like should I or should I not and then I was like okay. Just wanted u to know keep does videos going bro .

Great start guys. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dam y'all Kicked Ass on Day one. Good job..
Day two went well. Hopefully ready for roof by Monday.
Ya got a team that looks like they work well together!
i see you ise a measuring tape and count out 5 and a half for the plates.
Wouldnt it be easier a take a piece of 2x6 and lay ot sown on the corners middle and mark the side of it.
just a suggestion
Hi Matt. Goes to show you what can be accomplished with 4 guys and 9 hrs when everyone works well together. Enjoy the day. Ray L
You guys are beast!! Tell Mota what up! Lol carpenter from Chicago ! ✌🏾
We like to work! I"ll let him know!
Fairly new to your channel. Curious as to the compressor you use. You have multiple guns goin'.
Keep up the good content.

@@MattBangsWood thx Matt !
Oh, I forgot.
Yes, you guys can do it in 10 days !
How do you know which walls to over lap and which to just butt up against? Regarding the top plates
Hey Matt, How come you don't hit the mudsills over the anchor bolts with a hammer to mark the holes?
Hi, very good your channel, I would like to know if you use more 2X4 or 2X6 and which do you prefer to work with?
edson luiz dos santos Santos 2x6 framing is required in plumbing and exterior walls (for insulation requirements). 2x4 framing for interior walls and sometimes garage walls to save money.
Thanks for explanation! Spot on. 2x6" is required for R-Value in insulation, and in plumbing walls.
Awesome video brother
Paráda chlapi niečo podobné idem stavať a vaše videá mi pomáhajú zdravím zo Slovenska
I like it keep it slower and in detail with drawing reading as well
Just curious why did you make the back wall on the 10 day build series a through wall and not a butt wall
Can be done either way but I was wondering the same thing
Question: Why not use pressure treated for the exterior plate?
Hay man I respect you. Ur a good man
Appreciate you brotha! Thanks for watching.

Brilliant stuff, love it. Hi from the UK :)
Do a video on rafters with different wall heights
why you drilling with an impact wrench? i would believe its eaiser with a regular drill
To be honest, that's what I've always used!
Ok. Learning
2 x 6 ext. walls you rock
Why no gasket layer under the green treat sill plates?
Mean bro, awesome footage, NZ
It's just me and my boss building houses love to see just a few guys getting shit done
Yo what’s up! I’m digging the build
Hey Matt thanks for the knowledge as always!
do you think framers will start integrating in the 21st cen framing be done offsite and saving crews time?? Entekra??
I actually talked with a firm recently who’s trying to push pre-fab! If done correctly - it’ll sell!!

are all your studs precut at the yard. i didnt see anyone cut studs to wall height
Everything’s pre-cut. 92-1/4”
@@MattBangsWood but if u had to cut em on site. would you set up your mitre saw with a jig or would u rack em up and gang cut
I’d gang cut them!
Just curious, I’m studying blue print reading at my local college right now. When they pour the concrete, do they put the rebar for the top plates according to prints?
Great first day.
awesome work man!!
hey matt, how do you draw out the spacing for the studs and rough openings when you have the top plate tacked on the side, I tried to watch your paps do it but it looked like he was using a big crazy long looking stud template... if you have time I would love to hear about it! bangon 🤙🏼
Hey @MattBangsWood @5:43 did you have to redrill that anchor for the mudsill?
Looks like the crew is working in sync , you’ve grown the crew havnt ya? If so ,it seems to be going to plan mate🤙 10days pffft I’ll give ya 8
We've gone from 2 guys to 7+, back down to 6 steady. Takes time to build perfection, we'll be there soon!

you guys are pretty good
What tool rigs do you use man ? Theyre badass
Nice work
Digging the videos man! Keep up the good work! If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the music on the time lapse 9:29?
great vid Matt, ill be watching all of them, i live in the Philippines from the UK, i have a single story concreat house 30'x50' which i intend to put second floor all lumber
Thank you!
Ur killing me with no sheeting on the wall before u stand them. But no worries I love ur vids man bang on
Can’t do it with utilities in slab sticking up. Makes it nearly impossible.
Hammer Time
Just curious but how do you get around exterior wall protrusions when sheeting walls off the floor?
Loren Rickey. We have basements here in the Midwest all around utilities are
Are coming up from the basement so there’s nothing in are way. U guys are slab on grade so u really can’t do it except where u could sneak a full sheet here and there
What boots is the one you wearing? The yellow ones?
Personally I love shed and my friend also love it
can i ask why most ppl dont have just a square home. is it the same price to have odd shapes? i figured it would be cheaper to just do a sqaure or rectangle

What kind of cordless makita do you use ?
Keep up the great videos!👏🏼👷♂️🔨
wow thats fast!
The guy in the wife beater, that one guy on the crew...🤣
So you tack your top plates to your bottom plates only to get consistent stud measurements? Why cant you just use a tape when you lay your wall out to frame? Im not a framer and thanks for the videos!
I've always been told wood against concrete isnot a good thing how do you get away with it?
