There is no corner? Who would do that

Thankyou

Add penalties for failure to meet deadline by X days. I added a 10% penalty on a 200K remodel. He dragged his feet in 2019 and 2020. His costs went up but we had a fixed price. COVID screwed him but he also made some stupid mistakes that cost him thousands to fix. He was 6 Months late. Which I wouldn’t have charged him the 10% until he tried to milk me for an extra 15K. I told him to pay me the 20K late fee and the 5K I had paid for materials which I had receipts for and I’d pay him his 15k. He walked out and I waited for lean or lawsuit but it never came.

Concrete not cement lady

Nice quick to the point video. Kudos for that. It seems like a pretty big span so I imagine a poured roof was likely going to cost much more than this? Did you even consider it?

Thank you for your videos. They are super helpful Which block system did you use and why?

awesome explanation all along. Thanks for taking the time to document

Great job guys. My wife and I are also thinking of building ICF house in Chicago.

My windows won't have a nailing flange so i still gotta figure something out.

Thank you for the easy explanation 😃

OMG! I watched all but one of your videos in one day… great job!

Make it illegal! Good way to guarantee a weak foundation.

Good video, thank you! I am a little behind you in my ICF build, but I'm trying to figure out when to foam the roof decking. Sounds like sooner rather than later is best.

Excellent training material

Dang the roof is more then the ICF

I am always a few steps behind. Getting ours sprayed in 3 weeks. Going to do 4 inch of closed. Im in georgia so a lot less of a heat load then yall out in the mountains.

Dude, the VERY design decision I have been agonizing over. Thanks for sharing and well done!

Are you using your erv to vent the conditioned attic space?

I’m going to have to watch later as we’re out here building my Icf walls but, I always go with sealed attics, because most of our mechanical stuff ends up in the attic. Interested to see what conclusion you came to

Two studs and blocks to make a tee to tie in wall

I used LP weather logic liquid flashing from Amazon. Seemed a lot cheaper. Started using on sunny day around 25F takes longer to dry due to cold temp but seems to work fine. Started snowing half way done so didn’t finish. I think it can be applied at even colder temps as long as 20oz sausage is kept warm prior to applying. The ICF blocks I’m using are polyurethane so a little different block. Sticks fine to polyurethane from what I can tell. Likely would be okay with polystyrene.

There are so many ways to fix this, I just wonder why the framers didn't do it right in the first place

Close but it’s called a T and not a corner. Secondly you use one on each side and fill the center with three small pieces of scrap about a foot long. No need to go full 2x4 against the lead 2x4.

Or you can put dead wood. Save time and money

2 more 2x4 studs would have worked as well.

Your walls 18 on center?

Or a few blocks an 2 studs pick up scrap save a 2x4 get same resales

You also need to connect it to the rafters.. right? At least the top outside corner.

Nailers simple scrap 2x4 . The clamp used .. time wasted

I've been framing over 20 yrs.he would cost you way more money cause he useing a lot extra wood.

Guess he never herd of deadwood

Who did your engineering? Would you recommend them?

Partition post

I also build a house before so I know what I'm talking

That's how my basement was finished by the previous owner. None of the corners where the drywall met were just floating. I redid the whole basement and corrected all of their mistakes.

no wood termites only foam and concrete Thank you

Great video. I’ve been waiting for a new one.

Thank you for your videos… you always have wisdom to share! Question on the contractors priorities: Asking in writing the start and completion dates are great, but not sure how to ask them “where does my project fall in your priorities.” Do you write in your contract that the vendor will have no other ongoing projects (if I am a high priority)?

just make the t on the floor next time and do you really need clamps😂

POOOOOOK

Cripple and kings headers

Turn it into a slap stud just like in metal studs drywall Couch, top and bottom and move it back from the sheet rock all the way through there and slide the stud back and pin it to the drywall simply and easy not that hard to figure it out This is why Wood framing is so slow take so long and it’s so expensive !!!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂

I personally would have went with 3 12 inch I beams steel Stone Cold Steel.

That's what they call a California corner

about how much blue barrier did you use per window?

Why the triple top plate for a non load bearing wall?

What about the ceiling, I don't see anything to attach tbe drywall to.

Its called a partition. That is what he added. No blocking tho. Code in my area was a partition on any exterior wall or load bering interior wall connections. Interior non load bering wall intersections can have ladder blocking in place and or a partition.

Hold the perpendicular wall short 3/4”and rock the long wall

You should apply for a nasa job
