@billmain4 Some do quick work cause they are sloppy . Some do because they are good ! Being that you have never seen the house in person you wouldn't know . J.W. :)

15 days. What's that, the all time record?

[blojoker]

what i find odd, as a jrnyman carpenter in Canada is that you stood you exterior walls before sheathing them. that practice is pretty much unheard of here.

[ww321]

Yes I have done it both ways now . In the past I stood a 25 foot prefabbed wall by my self , windows installed and sheathed . J.W.

[d1incharge]

sheathing on ground is for slow azz rookie morons. Do you have perfect slabs there? Perfect footings? I have never seen them in over 300 houses, so sheathing first would only leave you gaps across the bottom plate, add weight to the wall. If and 8ft was is 1/8 high on one side it will then be 1/8 out of level. It is just a sloppy shty lazy mans method. This must be why Candada isnt exactly where people go to learn about framing. Arent most new homes there mobile?

[blojoker]

you're ignorance is startling. 300 houses? when you catch up to me and learn what I have, you will know the truth about what I said. And ... didn't you know ? we live in Igloos up here! radial symetric curves .... with hand saws!

[d1incharge]

nobody gives a fck how you have built your 2 houses in candada. Your country has more mobile homes per capita than anybody in the world.....do you build your big houses in factories too? Your country also has the slowest building times in the americas due to the weather for morons. Spend 4 hours shoveling snow, 2 chatting about hockey over coffee, 1 building something, then back home to shovel snow. When you can be outside framing houses 365 days a year, you might get experiance!

[d1incharge]

Also, one reason you probably sheet first is so that you dont walk around in snow all day, or maybe your crew is so broke you cant afford a forklift to work off of.

[ww321]

@d1incharge That's a problem they have with prefab homes . The slab or footings have to be dead flat . I haven't seen even the smallest crack from settling yet. The way we built it wouldn't have been possible to sheet the walls before standing anyway. Front and back walls were built on the slab while the side walls were built hanging off the slab elevated over the ground . Started building on a Monday and had friends over early Wednesday to help lift the walls .

very nice do you think you could have used my invention when you got to the gable's and roof? its on you tube under vline demo ,

[ww321]

@vlinedude That's a really great product especially for someone like myself that almost always works by himself

[losoj30]

You guys did a excellent job. I wish we could get truss company to set them up there us!

[losoj30]

Ya that was fast! Sorry though I think my crew could have done it faster. Plus to save time we would have sqaured the walls on the ground and sheeted it and wraped it they when your done you just button it up. Anyway cool vid. By the way how did you set the truss' crane or by hand?

[ww321]

The Carpenter that helped me is 53 years old and I'm 51 and not a carpenter , still not to bad for a couple of old men . The truss company drops the truss package on top and we just spread them out . I did build a garage the way you said , it's a good way to do it when you work by your self .......J W
