Question: On a finished wall, over a door/window opening, are the cripples attached to the 2x6's over the openings with some sort of L bracket, or only attached to the top plate and the weight of the roof keeps them in place?

I like the fact that you are showing people how to properly layout framing that will pass code. And you are teaching them in a way that they can understand how it all comes together. When the time comes for me to build my new House I'll be building with more advanced framing techniques and working around code when I can. I watched your Chanel in the past but I don't know why I didn't sub you. I'm now a sub so I wont miss what you put out. Keep up the great job.

I like small spaces.Yurts are really cool . I like large appliance boxes to ;) I just don't fit in them like I used to . Tipis,tent trailers,sailboats,tree houses.They all appeal to me on some level.

@millionaire1963 I think some of us are naturally attracted to cozy, small spaces the way cats are. Maybe that's also what makes us like lofts! We're like the cat on top of the fridge. lol

Other people may be opposite and feel claustrophobic in small spaces, but for those of us who enjoy having everything close at hand and efficient these little homes seem very attractive.

I love seeing you lay these things out so simply and clearly. I know more construction jargon now than I ever did before! (king stud, trimmer, blocking, header, cripple)

I'm excited to see it go together. It makes a lot of sense this way!

[millionaire1963]

.Tiny houses don't have to cost $40k and up .They can but if you do it yourself and make wise use of materials they can be 10k or less depending on your level of finish. You can also get them to a partial finish then move in and finish as time and money allow. The more you invest in your own skills the more you save in cost of building so learning doesn't cost it pays.

[millionaire1963]

To put it on a trailer you can take angle bracing metal brackets available at building centers and screw the frame to the floor of the trailer in multiple locations. hope that helps and thanks for your comment.

Would love to but I'm all the way across the country.

I have a rough construction background and I've built a number of small structures some with electricity, most without, but never had a small structure with plumbing although I could if it were required. The only part I am aparently ignorant to is putting such a structure on a trailer or in a truck bed for mobility. I have a few concepts running around in my head but if you could give me a general direction via comment response or pm, I'm sure I could find my way. from there.
