Bro watch out for flooding in the spot of your build
Martin the framing looks really nice. Question are you going to heat the garage? I would suggest you insulate the floor with 2 inch closed cell foam board. And side walls. Small expense now, big returns if you ever plan to heat. Even will help your upstairs living area.
You guys are doing great!!
hello Sarah, how are you?
love u
Your a lucky man to have a wife that helps out like that !
If that little hickup with the concrete walls being off straight line is everything you complain about, well, than you did an excelent job. Construction adhesive as LQ nails is absolutely perfect on the sections that require more "compactness" =) . Oh, and if I was you, I would certainly do something about bracing on the shear walls, you know, just in case if some lurky winds arise.. One question: Why are you putting on the ssheathing in vertical? Should be better staggered in horizontal.
Anyway, excelent job, Mr. Martin. Cheers and keep going, soon you'll have a little mansion.. =D
I think what you mean by the little roof design is that it’s more aesthetically pleasing. I agree! It makes it not look like a box.
Yes! You nailed it! Thanks.
FYI, a better strengthening of the garage door wall would be accomplished by hanging the osb from the top down allowing it to project its full width onto your headers. It would form two " L" 's at corners and a "T" 's in the center. I never glued walls All my floors were glued and nailed with galvanized or ring shanks. Nothing worse than a sweaky floor!
Exactly. Would have been much stronger.
Cutting and installing the blocks in advance seems like a good idea but in reality the framing lumber isn’t consistent. You’d end up making adjustments either way.
Also its always a good idea to stagger your joist header boards. You should have spready the garage door header board #2 into 3 sections where 2/3 was cut to be centered from the middle and the other 1/3 was equally split in the remaining side sections. Right now you have a weak section in the middle of your garage door wall. A high wind load on that section could potenially buckle that in.
YES on LQ Nails, some states require it as code
Not on shear walls. Makes them too brittle.
Your Shorter wall is acting as a column but called a Jack Wall (Like the short stud holding a header) Some might call it a Knee wall but they normally are shorter and carry the loads from rafters. A Pony wall is a short wall that bear NO LOAD often used to divide a room in a open plan. BTW If your continuous header carry's a significant load it's going to have much greater stresses than two separate headers acting as simple beams. If it's just a gable wall, probably no big deal BUT if your floor joists bear it's an issue if the floor is loaded. (I'm a retired Structural Engineer)
Out of curiosity. Howe much added strength would you get from gluing everything together (as well as using nails/screws/etc)?
(You’re obviously not a carpenter)
@@i8dapuszy Whatever makes you happy.
Doesn't the IRC dictate a portal frame at garage door openings in this case extending across the entire width of the structure with the sheathing secured per the APA?
semangat terus Pak Martin, bu Julie, Sarah, Seth & Tux :D
Watch "The Crazy Framer", very good tricks for building on your own. Nice job, you go guy's.
2-1/2 to 4 foot, 45% in big opning to support thos long runs.. sorry kyboar miss uo!!
Hey guys just wondering if you have encountered high lumber prices? And if not... where do you live that high lumber prices has not effected you guys?
Yes. Very high.
Great teamwork. Are you planning to pour concrete over the rock or is the rock your finished floor? What about utilities for garage and upstairs? How will you run them? Looks good.
Yes and I’ll show you. But it is not through the floor.
Yay! It’s coming along nicely! Great songs Marty. 💛
Shear walls also require a specific nailing pattern. If you search through @mattbangswood on the TH-cam’s he has a video explaining shear and nailing patterns on his recent house build. I personally thought you were going to use a lvl (2) for that garage header. Since you used 2x10 I would have made it three ply with the center ply split over the break on that wall. It looks like you overlapped it some. Now it looks like the center of that header is not bearing on anything so you might need to put a 6x6 post in that wall of more 2x6 to make it a 6x6
How come you didn't turn the 8-foot pieces of plywood sideways keep the building from twisting
because he doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't care to learn.
Hmm, my bell notification was unrung.... fixed now 👍
All that ladder work is what makes you a believer when it comes to construction. Your arms are tired from hauling and carrying tools but the ladder makes you respect the carpentry trade. You both are mastering the technique of a ladder ninja. Prayers for your safety and success. In Christ.
Little adjustment here, a little there...trim will cover it! lol
Looks great guys, DYI is saving you big bucks. Appreciate you sharing your content and journey. Be safe and carry on!
Mike
You guys are developing into quite a coordinated team. Great life experience.
James Payne My Hats off to you and your family well done! Keep this up and you will have a new career as a Custom Home Builder in Northern Idaho!
A tip. Sence this will be a garage, with a large opening. Wind bracing can be useful.
Garage header end down to bottom corner. And similar on the connecting long wall.
Check. diagonal steel wind bracing
UPDATE, ofcourse you can put diagonal steel bracing on the inside..just to be clear.
Diagonal in the corners of your build.

Pak martin, bahasa Indonesiannya mana 🤔
That's why they call it "As Built". Once the siding goes on the error will go away. For shear walls -- there are engineering formulas and tables -- but for guess engineering adhesives and nailing the perimeter at 2" is the best you can do. Later on after the hold down brackets are installed you can panel the inside of the shear wall with OSB adhisive and 2" nailing schedules.
You should add a Simpson steel strap to tie the left and right header together in the center.
Great progress! Y'all are sure getting it done in a hurry. So exciting!
Anything you use to improve the shearing ability of the wall will help the shear wall!!
Yep! I've heard of Shear Walls. They save scores of lives during earthquakes.The blocking of the walls is usually done by the Apprentice Trainee.😌 Had you considered hold-down devices at the garage door openings? One that would work is the Simpson HDU4-SDS2.5. The IRC shows the holdowns in Chapter 6.2.10 for Portal Frame With Hold-down Method (PFH). Also above the holdowns near the top of the wall, you have a Simpson MST-37-type of strap. The reason for the hold-down equipment is to count those walls with large openings as shear walls.
Marty look into scrails by fastco they have up to 3” long ones and I believe your framing nailer can shoot them. 21 degree
Hi guys, love your channel and what you are doing. Amazing work, thanks!
If I could say something, is just that the “This is the good life” background music kind of sucks...sorry.
Have really enjoyed watching your journey in Idaho...looking forward to watching you future progress.
Just square the the left front wal that’s why it’s call rough framing once it’s finished you’ll never notice it plumb and level is much more important I’ve much worse pass inspections by other contractors
You are a lucky man. You have an amazing partner. I find myself checking everyday to see if you have any new postings.
ps. Seth is suddenly spurting up. have watched him change from a young boy into a young man.
Stay Safe and keep smiling.
Too late now, but you should have laid the OSB length wise, now you have a flex joint every 4 feet on the walls, if you had mounted it length wise you would only have one (maybe 2) flex joints (up 4 feet from the bottom/top) along the walls, this makes for a much stronger wall.
Usually all new construction walls sheer walls floor they always use liquid nails ESPECIALLY on floors not only will the floors be strong but less squeaky after time.
Another great job!! Previous comments are spot on! Separating wall between doors is called a jack wall. Liquid nails is a common practice in some parts of the country, but in my opinion “overkill” when you do a full length header spanning across both doors. Only thing I would do differently would be to fill the header out from inside to outside of the wall cavity and start with a 12’ centered in between both doors then fill the remaining in on both sides, oh and liquid nail the header boards together. Seth has sure grown a lot from the first video!!! Hope all is well with Sara haven’t seen her posting any videos from school for a while. I’m sure she is swamped with school though!! Bless you all and look forward to the next videos
Nice work on the garage! It’s coming right along. You guys make a great team. Looking forward to your next video! God bless.
Wondering why you are installing the OSB vertically. Horizontal would give you more shear value. Check out the IRC code and the information published by the APA regarding the installation of a portal frame at the overhead doors. I would think your state code would have it as well. These frames usually have the header going across the entire width of the structure with a specific sheathing nailing pattern (no glue on the plywood) on both sides of the wall and hold downs from the studs to the foundation. That music by the way can be a bit irritating at times.
Great programs.Your wife is a "Jewel" and your son has a great attitude. One comment, your 12" garage door opening headers should have run to the corner of the front/side wall so that they would have become an integral part of your shear-wall. I also like that you overthink/overdue so many things recognizing that not being an expert its better to get it perfect now so that you don't fight a problem you created earlier in the project.
I saw you run a string along the garage doors but I didn't see you square the walls 3,4,5. It's fine, but when you build up it makes things off as you go.
Well i would name it "support wall"
I don't know how to send you the link, however there are screws that can be shot out of a nail gun. Check out izzy swan's TH-cam channel. "izzy swan".
Can you do video on how you manage with making your own electricity. How do you keep the frig going, lighting. Do you have to use the generator every day. Are the solar panels really enough for what you use. There must be things you must do every day to making enough. What kind conserving must do you do each day.
Guess your locale doesn’t required fire blocking between the studs. Blocking not only slows the spread of fire but also adds strength to the wall.
Come on Marty... Get you throughs together. It is very critical to get everything straight and correctly in position before nailing. Check one two check twice measure once measure twice.
Hai pak Martin apa kabar? Semoga sukses selalu dengan projectnya. Tuhan memberkati
I enjoy all the videos of yall !! Wish I could have caught all the videos from the start and not have to go back !! All yall seem down to earth and nice folks !! :)
Yes, hindsight is wonderful. But as they say you live and learn. Still great job.
You are an expert, because you are actually taking your knowledge and putting it to use. Unlike Oprah or Bill Gates, which neither one have actually put to use what they think they are experts on.
JHONSON Y FAMILIA 🙋🔨👉🏠😀👏👏👏👍🇺🇾👋👋👋
my outside walls seem to me perfect square. its my inside walls that are killing me. my last cut of sheetrock i cut at 69 3/4 at the top but to cover everything it was 70 1/8 at the bottom to me thats alot. but i'm not changing it now i'm so close to being able to move into it
Depending on. Code liquid nails can or should be uses. Also nail off 6in. Spacing for sesmic in some codes. (Calif).
Lovely to see you all enjoying life the right way.
Did you laser zero at the house foundation to match the height of the garage foundation to it so they can be joinned level upstairs later?
Edit... Just seen this was 2 years ago sorry.
Yes I have for construction adhesion but we use pl product over liquid nails. That hardens and get brittle when pl stays flexible and glued.
Just a little bit of massaging the walls and you will be close guys
Julie, how often to you have Marty cut your hair and have you thought about going a bit shorter? Say around arm pit length. Would be much safer for you, with it a bit shorter. Hate to see you get it caught in a power tool.
The center wall between the two garage doors are not anything but part of the whole wall including the doors. a wall is not renamed simply because there is a door involved
No step RULE means GET A SCAFFOLD FOR HIGHER AREAS THAT NEED ATTENTION
Construction, exterior grade liquid nails in many places.. Not " project grade".. Is part of " New" here...Florida!
ayooo semangat..biar cepat jadi rumahnya Pak Martin.....
It's a waste of money. On the floor yes but not on the walls. You should put the blocking standing up so you could run your insulation. The way you did it you have to cut a short strips for the top portion
Awesome job. Whats the width of the stem wall for your garage and for your house?
VIDEO MARK 1:35, "CREATES VISUAL INTEREST". MIGHT BE A GOOD PHRASE?
Well done Johnson you are getting better solving problems. Experiance
Can you please link a list of the songs on the video? :)
Excellent video!
Hey, Martin i want to ask , you memory of mobile phone must be full does'nt it ?
Great team work and great job done. 👍. Keep smiling.
Shear walls are plywood both sides being on the est coast and living Les then 60 miles from the beach were in hurricane situations all the time we have to build them on interior walls as well you don’t need blocking for your own it don’t serve any purpose
Blocking is effective, but 9' OSB is cheaper and quicker!!
they didn't have it in stock. i guess i could have ordered it.
Martin Johnson - Off Grid Living right now getting anything to build is tricky.
Why did you put blocks in the wall? Just mail the OSB to the studs
I never heard the term trimmer board used for a jack stud is this something that ya'll made up I like it
you should have used 1 continuous header beam across the front garage door side, much stronger
When you were explaining the studs King studs etc; good job there wasnt a BAR then a STUD!!! (ha-ha)
I can smell the fresh cut lumber watching this video.
I found a detailed and accurate project on the Avasva website.
Team Work...amazing
WOOOOOW WHAT A GREAT JOB YOU ARE ACHIEVING.........YOU ARE THE BEST FAMILY THAT I HAVE SEEN AND STILL SEE ON THE NET.....WOOOW MY KISSES TO EACH ONE OF YOU ....MAY OUR GREAT LORD SAVE YOU ALL THE TIME......I AM FROM IRAQ.
Loved your work ... ❤️❤️❤️ From India ❤️❤️🙏👍
Where is safety Sally Lately I haven't seen her in a while..lol
Sometimes she gets a time out!
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving So is she off the clock when this happens? :)
Hope to see more on the new build too But getting alot of your old vids on the house build.
You and your family is awesome, great work.
No such thing as trim studs, those are Jack Studs and the stud that Jacks are nailed to in your case are King Studs. FYI the short studs above the headers are called Cripple Studs
There is more than one name for them. Just google it.
you need to adjust your air nailer as u should not have to come behind and renail the nails.
watch building science with joe lstebrik
Heaven need hard workers, so slackers and cowards will not enter heaven, just my opinion
Two of the wall studs are upside down, but other than that you guys did great!
Very impressive and efficient team work.
You got the best son ever 👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Could use a metal pick in between ladders to stand on safely
Depends on where you live. I have heard it called a Pillar Wall.
Portal frame. APA has the nailing pattern for it.
Looking good.. Hugs from Sapulpa Oklahoma.
Your doing a fantastic job love video👍👍
Great, good job, you three amazing.
Great work family Johnson 👍💪
Very nice and making progress it going to be super awesome
Do you need Termite Shields? Reason I ask is to put it on the concrete before the plate on and offset the plate 1/2" to allow for the OSB wall surface to sit on.
no termite problem here.
Great job you guys how exciting
Looking great guys! That garage has a long way since we have been there!
How do you make sure stud spacing out correctly? What is the distance between two stud? Do you measure from the middle of one stud and the next stud? Or from the left side of the first stud to the left side of a second stud
This video should help th-cam.com/video/IQmt27qN6AI/w-d-xo.html
Jack wall, knee wall, or a soldier wall. Center load wall
Good work, fellows. Looks Grow up fast. Great👍👏
