  • Damn dude...get off your knees.

  • i like

  • the person in this video is not a framing carpenter ...if i hired a carpenter to do work for me and he was walking around on his knees he would not be there for long

  • @moecat1000 why?

  • @d0ck47 to make a living doing that work you have to be fast..and you can't do that walking on your knees..plus he held the 2x4 studs with his hand if you do that much you will be spending more time in the hospital having nails removed from you hands .the new guys always end up shooting themselves with the nail gun

  • slowest carpenters ever, we'd get the sack if we were that shit!

  • @auslax16

    dont say that im just starting :( i probably couldnt even build this wall that quick!

  • I see in the video that the floor is made of OSB. The floor in my house is OSB and it has disintegrated in the bathroom, living room and bedrooms. I would use 3/4" plywood for sub flooring instead of OSB

  • I bet he could build a house in a day.

  • wow if my boss seen me framing on my knees he fire me in heart beat plus it would take a month just to frame a small house lol

  • @celly559 Explain please. Am seriously interested because am looking to get into construction for a vocation. Insight is appreciated.

  • GOLDEN RULE.. BOTH HANDS BEHIND THE TOOL . BASICS

  • thank you, great video! :D

  • @2:00 a corner block was made. Where did that get attached in this video and what time in the video can I see it? Thanks

  • If you can find a stud behind the drywall attach to that. There should also be top and bottom plates in the existing wall that you should be able to attach to.

  • What if you are trying to nail it onto a drywall wall?

  • @4livo If you can find a stud behind the drywall attach to that. There should also be top and bottom plates in the existing wall that you should be able to attach to.

  • AND THIS IS HOW YOU BUILD A HOUSE THE SSSLLLOOOWWW WAY!!!!

  • @usmccampbell23 I'm sure it's slowed down for documentary purposes. Always has to be a dumbass jock framer thinking he is superman. Bring your shit my way, I'll teach you how to frame, smartass.

  • walls are not heavy for him :)

  • VERY INFORMATIVE VID. THANKS!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • EXCELLENT VID

  • I wonder they they don't add diagonal noggins to the code. It doesn't have to run the whole height, just about 3 feet. Instead of putting the piece the same width of the 2x4 (3.5 inches), do it the other way, so you have some room for continued insulation. Also, doing that way is stronger laterally (shear force). Most of the winds push the house in that direction.

  • @hovh03 noggins or blocking is not required per our building code. Our area code requirement is for a 90 mph wind speed. That's pretty light considering most other areas.

  • @hovh03 noggins or blocking is not required per our building code. Our area code requirement is for a 90 mph wind speed. That's pretty light considering most other areas.

  • no wonder such houses get blown away by strong winds.

  • framing on your knees?

  • Check my comments for information about the Pre-January 8th dvds of Inception.

  • good video my friend, I am a young aprendis. and I think your work is good. I installed insulation, fiberglass insulation. spray foam too. I learned something today, thank you

  • Hello What nail gun do you use, is it light and good using on the roof?

  • it must be an american thing, but i just dont trust nails.....2. hurricanes tornadoes and twisters are rife in the US so why build your houses from wood?

  • don't nails have greater shear strength than screws? you bend a screw past a certain point and it snaps. My house was built in 1847 and it's holding up very well

  • What size nails are you using in video? Are they staples? What nail gun do you recommend?

  • @SemperPromptus Nails should be 16d minimum length of 3 inches. Always use nails, not staples.

  • @ezhangdoor 16d for 2x4 construction?

  • @ezhangdoor what nail gun do you use, and is good on the roof. I'm looking for a light weight and powerful nail gun.

  • @Tommywurealty I recommend getting a coil nailer if you want to use it for both framing and sheeting a roof. Theres a Rigid one thats pretty light but i recommend the Hitachi for durability and power

  • @mrkbjm That was a good question, thanks for asking!

  • @mrkbjm No, Building Code in America does not require noggings (blocking) in a wall unless it is over 12 feet in height.

  • A non load bearing wall does not need a header if it doesn't carry any weight. If you are placing joist over the opening, then it becomes a load bearing opening, which needs a header as you described. The framing in the video has a truss roof system with no weight on the interior door openings.

  • even if not load bearing you need some header once you place joist or any roof bracing watsoever it will sag and crack sheetrock seen it plenty

  • The L shape peice.. is that the same as a corner post or no? cause a corner post is 2 2x4's with 3 - 8" 2x4 blocks in it. Or is the L for interior?

  • @VAxHUNTER94 The L shaped piece actually will work for both interior and exterior corners. A big advantage to using them on the exterior vs. nailing blocking to two other studs, is it allows for insulation to be added in the corner after the house is framed and dry.

  • The L shaped piece goes in the corner. It provides solid blocking to connect the walls together and a nailing face for drywall.

  • where is the L shape piece placed? wasnt very clear on that

  • must be from USA.

  • Great question! there is no header because the wall is an interior, NON-load bearing wall. Engineered trusses span across the building and walls inside the building have nothing bearing on them. Therefore, using a thick header material designed to carry loads would be a waste of money.

  • why no header?

  • nada que ver con el trabajo que hacemos los mexicanos ya nos vieramos incados y con miedo clavando jajja ese vato devderas se novato

  • This video made wall framing simple.

  • too slow!!!!

  • At 1:35 cutting across your body is a bad idea

  • @mydb100 good point, bad habit...

  • How wide is the opening in the for an intrior door?

  • @KidRockland A rough opening for interior doors should be 2" wider than the door you will be installing and 82-1/2" high. So if you installing a 36" door you will need a 38" wide opening.

  • what thickness wood is that? i'm wanting to build a ferret enclosure (starting off with chicken wire) before improving it to wooden walls in time :)

  • @TeerTheSlayer The wood thickness is 1-1/2" x 3-1/2". It's a standard 2x4 you can purchase at any lumber yard.

  • i have never heard of the term jack or king rafter or stud.....but if you ""know the term,do you really need to watch a video on how to build a wall. Please use terms that all people can understand

  • @mbalmr111 Jacks, King studs, rafters and studs are all essential terms for framing. So if you're looking into getting into construction, you should know these terms.

    TO THE VIDEO: Why is the guy framing on his knees? He'll be done the first floor in a month at that rate lol.

  • This is depressing. I love framing and residental construction. I went to a program in high school that tought us residental carpentry. I was the top student in the class. However I am stuck doing commercial construction because right now all the residental work is being done by illegal immigrants. I would give anything to just frame houses.

  • Chris rocks says that box framing is the way to go!!!

  • This was a very informational video. I look forward to seeing more good videos from you.

  • safety first.. wear PPE...

  • For marking plates we usually just nail the plates together and mark out the studs on the sides, then when you're ready to frame you pull the nail connecting them out (it's only 3/4 of the way nailed in) and you're ready to go.

  • never on your knees...this guy is not a professional

  • I usually go ahead and nail my top or double plate on the wall, before I raise them, when I mark corner's and partitions I make a three and a half mark and hold the plates an eighth back , and pick the straightest lumber so lining the wall is easier,

    this way I'm only on a ladder in the corner's and partition to nail off!! it locks everything together on top when you connect walls and makes it easier to frame alone,

  • @vlineguy Very good tips... I also do that sometimes. When I have someone cutting for me I just stand on top of the walls and nail the plates down.

  • She has a low income, like 500 dollars a month, and I don't have the money to do much of anything for her. What do you suggest. She needs a complete new roof, likely a few pieces of sheathing, new underlayment,and new shings,etc.. How can I go about getting Pride to come through on the situation,it ought to meet their approval of needing replaced.I put a thick rubberized coating of Black Jack on it, but it didn't really help. I am not sure on the sqft,of the roof,but it is likely more than 1000

  • I helped replace a hall way floor, and floor frame foundation to be more precise running from her kitchen to her back porch, which passes by her only bath room, which is about to cave in. The roof conitnues to leak badly in this particular area. I replaced the floor frame,and foundation underneath her hallway, because the existing structure was hardly there, termites had destroyed the floor joists,and water turned the OSB into mulch.. Pride came to evalute her house,but never touched it

  • I have another situation of this old laddy,I have been doing repairs on her over 100yr old house, that is very dilapidated, and has rotted floor joists,and framing. Termites have made the wood basically hollow.The roof is in dire need of replacement, it has layer, upon layer of roofing shingles.Habitat for Humanity came, and replaced her living room floor,which had truly collapsed, and caved in.They didn't however replace the roof, which is a leading cause of the further deteriation of the house

  • I believe I maybe able to build for less than $25,000,This estimate includes appliances too,I evaluated it over, and over, and over.It would be my first house, and I likely wouldn't start on it,till I was confident enough I was well aware of all the common setbacks,and unplanned incidents along the way.I was curious about obtaining a Building Code, and where,and how I go about doing that. What is a Building Code exatly.Is it a list of regulation standards for my area on the proper building tech?

  • I had another question,I have been considering building a house,which I did several extensive estimates, that I could build myself, doing all the work that is for under $25,000,this includes everything,except for the Heathing, and Cooling unit.. that alone is about $3-5000 dollars.. the estimate includes, Foundation, Plumbing, Framing, Sheating, Hardware, Doors, Windows, Insulation, Electric, Drywall, Kitchen, Bath, Flooring, Trim, Lighting etc..down to the amount of nails. Lord willing that is

  • I understand that OSB is actually harder, or stronger than plywood, but not enough to make a great deal of difference, as well as it doesn't hold up well to moisture. Advantech is suppose to be so so on, moisture, and there is a video claiming it is stronger, but I have heard people say it wasn't that strong. so. I don't know

  • When it comes to Insulation, is there a very noticable difference between R-11, R-13, and R-19.. only these three. I know there is R -30, but what is your take, are there any noticable differences with R-13, over R-11 worth the extra cost ?

  • I know OSB is cheaper, but in my experience OSB isn't the best for flooring, if it accidently gets a leak above, or on it..Is it wiser, you think to use Plywood, on the flooring, in case of a Refrigerator leak, dishwaser, etc..I have replaced floors that had OSB replaced, time, and time again, of course it was the roof that needed repaired, and replaced, but the OSB turned into like Mulch..How about floor joist hangers..? Are they a must..? this is related to the wall stud nailing technique post

  • @MrShannon888 Your correct, OSB doesn't take moisture as well as plywood. That being said, there are some higher grade OSB sheathing that will resist moisture quite well. The problem is the price is also quite higher. As far as joist hangers, most codes require hangers on most connections now. There are a few expections with regaurds to 2x dimensional lumber and the number of joist carried. Best advice, use hangers on everything.

  • @ezhangdoor Toenailing is alot stronger than face nailing, its a lot better with lift-off of the studs, usually only 2 nails face nailed in a 2x4 compared to 4-5 toe nails. it all comes down to how you build your walls, on my crew we nail the plate right to the floor then toe-nail into double top plate and stand walls and then toe-nail into bottom plate.

  • @MrShannon888 you are exactly right ...I build homed too and I would never use OSB on my floors...All they need is for one rain to come through before they get the roof on and there you have fucked up floors from that point on,,

  • @MrShannon888

    I find the 3/4 inch OSB Gold Edge Sheathing the best for my floors. I find plywood delams very quickly if it gets wet creating a wavy floor. The OSB is not affected if it gets wet.

  • @stevetibcar Actually OSB can wave as well. There are different types of OSB and only some of them are not affected by water. Anyway, it is much better than plywood (again - there ar special plywoods designed for floors).

  • When nailing wall studs, I recall Bob Villa pointing out that nailing the studs at an angle, instead of the end would create a stronger hold, but some people claim that nailing into the end of the 2x4 creates a stronger hold..What is your take..? I see most people do it like this, but Bob Villa says nailing them at an angle creates a stronger hold..

  • @MrShannon888 In new construction I would recommend face nailing plates to studs. It's much faster and my opinion just a strong. However, if space is limited, such as a basement where you wouln't have clearance to raise a wall, then toenailing is the way to go.

  • @MrShannon888

    An angled nail, or a "toe nail", does hold better because you are creating shear. But as long as you space your nails apart while face nailing them to the plate, then that will be good as well. If you don't spread your nails far enough apart, the stud will still be able to twist.

  • why in the hell are you on your knees??? are you 90 years old?

  • Thank you very mch for the info, you make it look so easy. I need to get my husband into to help me with this.

  • Very nice work. I know nothing about construction but I think its pretty cool.

  • This is quite possibly the worst instructional video I have ever seen. I framed houses all my life and this is not the way to do it. On your knees?? This person would have been down the road in heart beat. If you don't know how don't teach others your ignorance

  • Do you have or would you be able to do a video to show toe nailing? when doing it i dont feel like i have the best control over the wood, just wondering if there are better ways of toe nailing than how im doing it.

  • this guy is too slow! never frame on your knees!

  • @zyler24 some peoples backs dont allow for bending over all day. he is thorough in his work and it gets done right. thats what matters

  • @zyler24

    I said the same thing to your mother!

  • WOW. Nice!!! Same way when I do my basement?

    You make it look easy....

  • He's done this once or twice...

  • I need this guy to do my house!!

  • This guy is fast. He could have framed my house in a few days, it's taken me a few weeks.

  • @buildingourhome I do have over 23 years experience, so I should be a little faster than someone building there first house. If you have any questions, go ahead and contact me through my You Tube Channel.

  • hes a pro

  • man this guy is very good! accurate. fast. tradesman.

  • iron knees

  • @ForPropertyInvestors-------->­ Padding

  • why u framing on your knees?  lol

  • @heatseeker213 Bending over has taken it's toll on my back

  • @heatseeker213 Shut up dont matter.

  • I have a class on this and i have NO IDEA what i'm doing. I just recently found out there is a prerequisite. FML :( (failing with a 37 percent)

  • rofl its not hard just use your logic

  • Thanks for the info.
