 We are starting the framing process Donnie has me building headers and corners this particular corner is a double on studs with cripples in between I Think he wants to snap a line with his TV We just use some blocks to pad that out so that way on the interior We'll have a nailer and it strengthens up the corners We are framing with hand drive 20 penny and 16 penny nails I'm using a 28 ounce S-wing hammer Donnie is doing the layout for the framing and Steve he's going to come behind him and frame the walls Donnie and Stevie are going to snap a line with the chalk line to ensure that our wall is straight Our deck might have a little bow or a little crook in it But snapping a line with the chalk line make sure that the wall comes out straight We are framing with rough cut hemlock that we milled ourselves this summer Spring and fall Some of it still had a heartbeat a couple weeks ago After sawing a tree sometimes the lumber can twist or turn or go back to its natural bend So you'll see us toenail from time to time and a toenail has a tremendous amount of strength to bring a stud Straight again How bad You put three in each that Donnie what's that you do three in each one of these are just on the three Well, yeah, I do three in each of the singles Okay, if it does like set a head deep Deeper better Go through a fault to it Look, I got a window right here. That's why we did full stud and full stud right and I left the other ones Oh, okay. Yeah, that that's fine Looks like I might have I might need to put one here Or is this the window that might be the jack So maybe one right here I gotta put one more here So these axes get a regular These two are off just a little bit just so you know There's there's something under it. Ah, it's all right, or yeah, I think it's flat right here. Yeah, it's just I Think that's just my pole cut Yeah, is that any better? Yeah, that's close enough. Yes. Yeah water pouring out as the nail goes in That's kind of a small window. That'll be nice in the kitchen That's the one we can best when I can find here's what it is. Yeah, it was a 32 There was a 24 no one's sneaking out of it Got you a header if you want it in the wall tip for some reason but I do need you to make up a wall stud To good studs Like this with a stud One side To catch the wall. Yeah, so two with one and he can just have this. Yeah. Yeah, as is. Yeah, you need a you need a double triple Right. Yeah, I need it Need it. This will be one on top. Now be right in between. Oh There's a pocket a pocket, okay Okay Pocket. Yeah, I'll need two of those one for that wall one for this wall. Okay There's your pocket Stevie. Are all done Stevie? Yeah, I'm all done. Want to stand her out? No, will you put that header in Stevie? Header going in. Yeah, which way you want it Donny the two by four down or up down, right? Point it down. So go right to the top. Yeah, and then you can nail down through that top two before into the head of this way Oh, it goes right to the to the header. Yeah, sweet right out. Nice That's never going anywhere. I might not be going in here Get the grinder What do you need a sledge? I don't know. Should just go with a regular hammer. I got a hammer right here Pieces don't hurt your leg. Yeah, just get her going the right direction. Probably shrink and fall out Quite flush to this, is that all right? Yeah, I sandwiched them together. Does that They should have been four inches, but yeah, I mean stand on the plate first and see if it flushes them No, I guess I guess it's fine I can try and hold that up from the ball. No, no, that's fine as long as it's not Going the other way that that same amount, but since you stood on the plate And it didn't go up or down. You should be good. Yeah, it'll be flush on the other side But you got one where we got to go out a quarter, right? I think so yeah in the middle What happened nothing I just wasn't sure if I needed to nail that So I hit her you mean Where they meet right here at this joint No, I didn't nail this one to the top yet. Okay, you can nail this half of it this side. Yeah Half and half, okay, just in case we Stevie. Yeah, can you nail that header down through the top plate with nails? Yeah, I did. Oh, okay. Yeah So is that all one piece now that wall? No Where's the break? They meet here, and then we left These next three off because they meet there on the bottom Well, I'm standing up a wall you can do the whole thing at once or you can electro do it pieces like we did dimensional lumber and Fairly green lumber is a lot heavier than the kiln drive stuff. So it'd be a heavy wall to do it all at once with two guys under 50 and one over 80 The first thing you want to do after standing up the wall is to get the bottom plate on your chalk line Straight you can nail that down if you want first Making sure that the corner is where it needs to be lengthwise The next thing that you want to do is brace it And you could plum it at the same time and get a good level and plumb While you get your brace on Putting the brace on the outside of the gable end On the rim joist is a good spot to put it because it'll be out of the way when you raise your gable end wall And it'll also act as a catch So you won't go too far with your gable end wall when you raise that one I'd go higher if you want You're only gonna hit the rim joist Right unless you can hit one of the you're right. Yeah, you liked it. You liked it right here, don't you see it? Yeah, do you want me to pull one here and then go back there? I guess so right here's okay Was this all right How far down did we get This is gonna come in. Do you want me to throw it through us then? It'll be easier to take a path Let's see, go on How's the top? There's a sledge up here somewhere Donny You want this knee? I guess if they're tight here we're good, right? Level right here Donny. You want to push it up at the level Rack it towards you Stevie to your right There we go You want me to nail the plate down? How good am I? How far down am I good? Probably good there. It's right here. It's hanging out. Yeah, can you hit it here? It's still good right here Yeah, let's do this outline brace first or no. Yeah Yeah Yeah Drop me a nail through Donny. I got my hammer Donny's gonna get the level. Okay You could go ahead and nail yours Anytime All the way Yep, all the way and then just take a little weight off this for a second. We swagger down my hammer now Let me get one started. Yeah, so Donny's gonna go in or out with it It didn't jack that did it? No, I mean yeah, it didn't it didn't jack it right because I had a little discrepancy right here I had to tell I don't it might have jacked it a little Joey All right, I take that one out. I'll grind it down just to hear more. You're pretty close to where you want to be Yeah, quite a bit of this ladder. Yeah, if you want to get on top and do that You can still go top down All three first if you want It might be easier that way. Yeah, can't look it up because the sun is right there And the saw does You good? Yeah, this one's just free-floating. It's all right. It's all right. Yeah, yeah, the two plates The work That's right here. Yeah, that ladder will go up if you want it to. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, pick up some headers Yeah, what do you know how big I need two by eight just like made just like that one. Yeah, I Need one that's 43 inches long One that's 8 feet Yeah, we also need one more 35 inches 35 yeah, okay Hey, I gave you one that's 43 43 8 foot 35. Yeah Good Donnie is doing a layout for the south facing wall He has the top and the bottom plate next to each other Describing a line across and then putting the X on the side where he wants the two-by-four These two plates will be separated the length width of a two-by-four and all the two-by-fours studs will be installed in between them The bottom plate will stay a single and the top plate will get another plate for added strength And we'll give us another two inches of height Making carpenter This is the door I'll just won't drive it all the way I guess Higher higher Okay, yep, never moved Almost got you that would have been real bad. It would have been better if I'd have done it to myself. Yep right there Dead nuts she go. Yep This is my favorite level It's always always on It's ready. Yep. You ready Stevie ready one two three What's that on it Keep going about it. Get one more just for fun That's the header that's the header right yeah, that's for that door so when he Well, he does that header he could pull that in yeah, okay I'll hold the header off you know hit that top with a hammer Tony you have that sledge hammer I'll get it now that didn't come together for us Even with the jack It does need to come but See how the jacks touching both studs. Yeah, I think I gotta get something. I gotta get over here and hit it Oh, right. I guess it shows it's off on both commas. Well, no, there's just a gap in between on the plates And there's a little bit of room up top there That came in yeah after you get that they brought it in quite a bit can't be over 28 foot I got half of mine and take a measurement But we should be a quarter Long right If you've got a quarter inch there. Yeah, let's stop game Let me try where your left hand is if I can get a swing in there How much is it these three nails out? So Because then we'll just Cat's bow or saws old ony. What's better? Three nails Diagonal Donnie, what do you think of a diagonal? It should be right on if we're leveled both ways plumb both ways, right? So just hook this on the outside corner Oh Yeah, 16th long that's ridiculous Right on the money for the couple farmers bunch of chicken farmers Does that get a double or under the window or just straight I just gonna do one So I can cut those jacks. We're gonna need a jack here jack here one there. Steve and I could put those in yeah Support it yeah, all right, so I'll cut two eight footers and Donnie it gets one on the inside just like you did there All right, yeah, whatever that open it is Yeah, I don't know where oh Steve he's got your sheet need it. Yeah For Donnie actually can you give it to Donnie? Yeah, he'll tell me what I would need to cut Wait are you still good? Yeah push it in Do that and pull it through Oh right now well tomorrow the gable ends will tie the other way Tie the outside, but the inside is Going across will tie the back end, but we need those beans. We'll still have a 20-20 box 20 by 20 box. Yeah well So you'll cut them right now We'll find them. I'm not going to help it. I mean we ought to have them soon We can just leave these braces in until we get them get the gable ends in the back end this end Brace that so it can't go anywhere Yeah, that makes sense that eight foot wall you're gonna You're gonna over are you gonna overlap that plate the top plate? Yeah From the eight foot to the outside walls. Yeah, sweet. That'll lock them in, right? Yeah, that's that lock the back end That'll lock that in nice Yeah, it's looking great we got a lot done today Could get some firewood Could build that back wall They could lock it to five more I could do that pile We could do a lot I could build two more headers I'll stay away I am getting tired Does that ever smells good or what? Yeah, she's smucking Oh, you went and got some good wood? No, I haven't been down there There's some friggin nice in here How much longer we gotta wait for dinner? Ready when we fill it up That's like my favorite question Two T-bones and two rib-eyes You can take whichever ones you want I'll take all of them I could still do it, baby Next year we'll line this camp with fur That's what I think, Matt We're gonna repurpose the old camp We're just making a skin and shack Oh, that'd be nice Because we could put a little wood stove in there So you can go skin and you know You know, I'm not out in the cold Or let the carcasses off That'd be nice You know, if you had a skin and day Want to do it, honey? Let's see how the legs hold up I'd like to trap off a snowmobile I get to do that a couple of days, it was fun I bet you could do it up here You might have to deer on off a snowmobile That'd be awesome, I've never done that No, me neither Well, guys, that's gonna do it for today One heck of a day We got the floor on A bunch of studs cut up And then we're able to raise Two of the long walls And get a little bit ahead for tomorrow To put up those gable end walls Hopefully we'll throw some boards on starting tomorrow So that'll be good Big bump In productions with Stevie That was great having Stevie here He's not a builder By trade or anything like that So he did a great job He jumped right in and That's pretty awesome I am smoke-tired That's like three days in a row now Of here I'm not counting before here Of long, you know, 11, 12, 13, 14 hour days You know, it's light around 5.30 And it's dark around 7 So we've been going Pretty much from daylight till dark And then afterwards I kind of stay up and read a little bit Until I'm too tired I kind of feel like a man when you're that tired You know, when you've got to Think about taking your footwear off Your boots off or your shoes off or whatever You know, whether you leave your socks on or not Because it might just be easier just to leave them on Because it's going to be a short sleep And it's too hard to put them on Tomorrow morning, so If you guys ever felt like that, let me know in the comments But it makes you feel Makes me feel a lot better when I'm that tired And know I earned my dinner And earned my pillow too I'm going to call it a night.
